2 positives. May they continue.
Maybe a little early, but with the Drafts done, it is 2024 all ahead.
Very interesting to see how many of the 2023 are retained.

To look at it from the perspective of VFL depth complimenting the developing group and backups, I'll use my previously posted best 22 - with Elijah Hollands in the final spot - and keep Pittonet, Newman, Cincotta, Corey Durdin, and Cottrell out of selection contention as well:
FB: M.Carroll S.Durdin Young
HB: Boyd Young Cowan
C: Wilson Motlop Binns
HF: Cahill O'Keeffe Moir
FF: Akuei Lemmey Owies
R: Mirkov Kennedy J.Carroll
Int: Monahan, Naish, McMahon, Ramshaw
Strong VFL side, with enough talls in the mix if the typical 1 or 2 go down.

Not disappointed. Not all of these guys were regulars, more bit players, but we are better for their being there. Maher will be probably the biggest positive after missing most of 2023 with injury. He was good in 2022. Archie Stevens is also positive, given that Geelong drafted his brother.

Been a few stories in the local media that Naish is going to play full time at Wangaratta in the O & M and not at Carlton. Saw him quoted as saying that he wasnt interested as there were no list spots available.
Think that we can put him down as an official scratching.

The 2024 VFL/VFLW fixture released
Carlton's VFL and VFLW sides have learned their fixture fate for 2024.
Fixture …

Kristian Ferronato has been named for us....was in a few of the phantom drafts as a possible late/rookie, so I'll be keen to see how he goes. Shifter gave him a decent write up.....although didn't mention "he's a great kid from a wonderful family"...which may be why he didn't get drafted....

Kevin Sheehan’s 2023 AFL Draft top prospects: Midfielders
AFL Talent Ambassador Kevin Sheehan has released profiles on the top midfield prospects ahead of the 2023 AFL Draft
www.afl.com.au
From today's VFL game.....
The boys had a hard fought win in stifling heat....I thought it was only by 1 point, although somebody said it was 7 points - either way, the final siren went at the 8 minute mark of the last quarter, so I think there may have been a gentleman's handshake between the two sides for mercy sake.
Overall, we just had a bunch of kids running around out there trying their guts out. I think the only one in our side out of their nappies was Cincotta - who I thought was by far our best player out of our AFL listed players. He was excellent across half back, and you can see how much his game has developed over the past 12 months since being drafted.
Cats pretty much had a young side as well, although Mannagh was out there as was Parfitt, and Bews at times. They have a few mature age recruits as well, so overall were more experienced than our squad. Although I think that this time of the year, it's really just to give your youngsters a bit of a hit out.
Our only AFL listed players today were Carroll, Lemmey, Binns, Monahan, Cincotta, Wilson, O'Keefe and Akuei.
Of the VFL listed boys, Heath Ramshaw imo was best on ground alongside Cincotta. The kid can really play.
A few of the 'no name' kids were also very good - Hugo Nosiara and Will White are the ones that spring to mind, and Hayden Gill good at times. It was great to see Archie Stevens lining up against his 'little' brother George. He's a massive beast is George - his shorts would even be too large for Big John!!!

- Carroll - was very good. Accumulated a lot of possessions and very poised whenever he got it. Liked his game, and I reckon he'll get a call up at some stage during the year.
- Lemmey - definitely on the improve. Started forward but moved him to defence during the 2nd half - switching him and McMahon. He's got some athleticism for a big fella, but needs time.
- Binns - was just Binns. Racks them up at will, and again provided the link between forward and defence. Just never stops running, even in the stifling heat. No doubt will debut this season.
- Monahan - barely noticed him....although in one passage received the ball, accelerated like a man possessed away from his opponent, a couple of bounces, then kicked it straight into the Geelong bloke coming at him. Turnover, goal. Obviously needs time - of course it's only his first game of aussie rules.
- Cincotta - dominant across half back.
- Wilson - also played across half back, and was a little in and out of the play - but when he does get it, provides some real dash and flair. Probably needs a little more composure with the ball at times, it but that'll no doubt come with experience.
- O'Keefe - was very impressive as pretty much our only ruckman. Easily the best game I've seen him play. Seems to read the play really well, and was more than useful around the ground. Massive tick to the big fella.
- Akuei - was also very good as probably our sole key defender alongside McMahon (and Lemmey in the 2nd half). He's still a long way off AFL level, but was very steady down back - ridiculous levels of athleticism.
Of the VFL listed boys, Heath Ramshaw imo was best on ground alongside Cincotta. The kid can really play.

Excellent signing, one of the better undrafted players last year. Mobile, slightly under sized KPP. Could develop very nicely and be a promotion prospect down the track.
I was really impressed with him in the U18 championships. Looking forward to see him line up in the magoo's.
I watched the U18's Vic Country vs SA game the other night after the post that we'd signed Rudd in our VFL. Kicked 2 goals that day, but could have easily ended up with 4 or 5...which would have got the recruiters frothing at the mouth. As the commentator said "he has a real presence about him in the forward half." Seems very stiff not to have been drafted.
Listed at 193cm and 91kg, so around the same size as Charlie - although there were articles comparing him more to Jeremy Cameron. Great endurance, with vice like hands and a booming left foot kick.
The issue of course is that if he shows promise at VFL level, we're not guaranteed access to him in the MSD....although I'm tipping if he's starting to look the goods, we'll have a breathalyzer set up on Royal Pde the week leading into the draft
Either way, given we're picking up a couple of running mids in this year's National Draft, someone like Rudd could complement our brigade of marking forwards and potentially release Lem to develop more as a KPD.
According to this article, we were possibly linked to him in last year's rookie draft.
