Autopsy 2022 Round 14 Slow starting Blues have disappointing loss

[BlueTongue]

Where’s Boyd in the poll?

 

[ferrisb]

I know the play on, handball forward game has served us well this year, but... the Tigers are the gold standard of chaos ball, move it on all all costs.

I felt we played into their hands tonight.

Scoreboard probably flattered us in the end.

 

[serenityNow]

Still yet to see this team play 4 quarters of good footy.....play footy in patches far to much.

 

[Cringle]

We’re thereabouts with Richmond with a healthy list.

So it’s not unexpected they have an edge with a 3rd of our best 22 out.

We did look a little slower and less aggressive for the most part however.

looked good, I hope it is only 1-2 week injury, looks like a good find.

Great effort overall by the team. Thought the umpires were bog avg today.

I’d like to see Honey come in soon, think we need him more than Martin who goes missing too often

 

[Wickzki]

Dumb. Stupid. Footy.

Bent over by umpires who consistently fall for their blatant thuggery.

Hopefully Durdin is okay.

Move onto the next very quickly.

 

[Kramer1]

Do we know what happened to Durdin? Any chance they just fudged it to get the sub on?

I suspect he blew up a bit...maybe I hope that...

 

[NavySteel]

I’m unreasonably upset

 

[Cripptonite]

Umpires killed us from the first minute to the last. Some genuinely mind-boggling calls. Zero consistency. Prior opportunity in a wet game was thrown right out the window for our guys.

We’re a better side than Richmond even with half our side out but we just took too long to adapt to wet conditions.

Boyd was absolutely brilliant tonight. We’ve found another one.

 

[THEYSEEMEROLLIN]

Bad way to lose. Punch drunk in the first half and unsuccessfully played catch up from there. Drop back to the pack in the 8 and tough games ahead.

 

[reubsblues]

A list demographics is along way off
We have list full a similar players and not enough depth in particular areas

 

[ferrisb]

How good was that one handed mark by Saad near the end?

The bloke has a list of tricks longer than my list of bad dad jokes....

 

[Cringle]

I think you’ve forgotten Boyd in the poll.

I thought he played quite well.

 

[FRUMPY]

I know we have injuries but I feel that's the worst loss for the year

Lost it playing dumb dumb football.

Still nearly good enough to get there.

Not looking forward to the next fortnight.

Agree, not sure they were that great in the first half, we just played dumb footy and had zero structure in the fwd line.

They were harder and better and way cleaner that first QTR but FMD we just played dumb dry weather footy

Crucified by the umpires, no backline. Will not forget you Shay Bolton. I believe in karma

He’s the biggest dog going around. Slammed Doch into the turf last season as well. What a hero

 

[le dominateur]

Fair effort to come back and nearly snatch the lead.
Too many players down, smashed in the middle most of the night.
Backline held up well considering the tidal wave of Tigers running through the middle of the ground.

Boyd, that’s about it. Small win in an absolute shocker

 

[BlueTongue]

Never thought we would win this. With our injury list and the umps horribly against us, it's not that dire.

The Umps were dire. I’ll need to double my blood pressure meds. No wonder they get abused.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Boyd impressed. I like the underdogs like Cottrell and LOB.

Doc BOG for us.
Next.

 

[Mondyboy]

Our first quarter and a half was abysmal. Our second half was much better. In the end we were killed off by a score review.

But we play a smarter first quarter and we win that game (also would have helped if we’d kicked straight early).

Shout out to Boyd who was terrific. So was Plow. And while Young conceded 3 on Lynch, he also tightened up on him in the second half.

I know Durds made a couple of mistakes that led to goals, but actually he was good in the air. Hopefully his knee is precautionary though knowing our luck he will be out for eight weeks.

Crippa played his heart out. So did Walsh. So did Hewett. They missed their buddy Cezz.

Hard to believe they've made me hate them more today than I already did yesterday...

What an unlikeable team the Tigers are..



We didn't deserve to win in the end but it was hard to get any momentum when everything seems to be going against us..



I was just hoping we could get over the line to see Bolton get slaughtered in the media.. But now it will just get brushed over..
Doing it to Docherty made me see red too. ..

 

[Brackets]

That didn't look touched at all let alone conclusively.

 

[Wickzki]

Do we know what happened to Durdin? Any chance they just fudged it to get the sub on?

That's what I'm hoping.

Needed goals when he came off and knew if they goaled it was over anyway.

He sat looking fine on the bench.

Fingers crossed.

That's my thoughts, roll the dice and bring on a 'runner' (hence why fog was a dumb sub)

Injuries have just caught up with us.

Cant give up a 6 goal lead to start the game in this weather.

Harry is a dead set gun.

Boyd showed why Voss rates him.

Just desperately need Weiters and Pitto back.
