Autopsy 2024 Round 3 Bruising Blues Too Much For Roos

[Juice030103]

Love a little steal in Elijah


Think we should put him on ball a bit more but love what he provides


Mckay probably polling Brownlow votes in all 3 games so far, Crippa too

 

[Juice030103]

Curnow seemed fine he was walking after the game with both his boots on

 

[BigFrizz36]

What was Cotters role exactly?

Looked like he was playing on McKercher maybe?

 

[T2B_]

I just love big H.

So dangerous in the air, obviously, yet doesn't look out of place galloping through the middle either. Goal kicking a big plus.

Please stay fit big fella.

 

[Beyond Blue]

What was Cotters role exactly?

To stop their quick small backs running riot as they did against the Dockers in the first half last week when they got out to a 5 goal lead. Good coaching.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

We took whatever punches North tried to throw at us and won pulling up in the end.

Unbeaten and the team still hasn't fired on all cylinders yet imo. So yeah it's a great position to be in right now.

 

[Bongo Drum]

How good's Harry going?

In the air, in the ruck, kicking goals. Probably our best player of the year so far.

Rapt for him after the public criticism of last year... responded like a champ!!

 

[Kismet]

Great to have a stress free win for a change. While we weren't competing against a strong team, it was good to see an improvement in scoring, although improvement is still needed with delivery into the forward line.

While he wasn't our best player, I think Lachie Fogarty is such an important player with his forward line pressure. Loved his game today.

Percentage baby!

To stop their quick small backs running riot as they did against the Dockers in the first half last week when they got out to a 5 goal lead. Good coaching.

But he only had 7 disposals. According to some that's all that matters. Fortunately they are in the very vocal minority.

Thanks, figured it had to be a defensive thing, the guy isn't a massive accumulator but even he would be unusual to have such a low possie rate with all that running if he was hunting the ball.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

They just keep getting the job done. A joy to watch

Jonathan Brown says we have only beaten winless teams - does not rate us

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

What happened to Marchbank?

Got tunnelled by Boyd, then Boyd sat on his face. Then there's also the on field stuff.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

You can thank Stewie Dew for Elijah, sad to see him play so well in other colours

Not sure I’d be blaming Dew, clearly he had some other things going on and being around Ollie in Victoria was better for him.

Thanks though!!

Our problem that the teams we played cant win

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

The free kick count is pretty funny. It didn’t feel like we got a heap that weren’t there.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Very professional win.
Did exactly what was needed.
Bank the wins early as they’ll be so important later in the year.
Cracking game by H - Was good everywhere - As complete a game as you’d see by a big KPF.
Bullied them.
Tackle intent was very good today.

 

[Tjblues]

Pretty good day really.

Good:
H: Phenomenal again, doing everything right now

Hewett: First half was spectacular, solid thereafter

Crippa: Unselfish, it’s like he knows he doesn’t have to be superman anymore, and it’s freed him up

Weiters/Gov: great to see weiters back, gov would want 1 kick back but his aggression was outstanding

Elijah: Really saw how fit he is as the game went on, could be a real weapon for us

Fog: The clever little flicks, and manic pressure. Doesn’t kick many goals but he’s our best small forward right now for me

Tackling: immense all day, 76 tackles and winning the count by 21 in a big win is a real tick for our intensity and work rate


Not so good:
Marchy: 4 free kicks given away leading to shots. Settled in and got better but then copped a whack, hope he’s okay

Kennedy: Thought he improved, but was pretty quiet for a large portion of the game.

Cotts: he’s covered 16kms so he’s clearly doing a lot of unrewarded work but 7 touches from a high half forward is a little concerning


A little bit cleaner and a little more direct and we could’ve won by 15 goals, that being said it was a performance that showed our power

What Jonathan Brown says doesn't really concern me tbh. As long as we keep winning then all is good!

 

[j09948772]

Imagine if we had of traded H. Oh my god we would be the laughing stock.

Well done big Harry, you deserve all the plaudits that are coming your way

Only idiots were talking about trading him.

 

[Blues177]

Solid win. Good second half by EH and Harry back to his best.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

At last - a win without a near-coronary. Well done, boys!!

 

[Chemical]

Yeah heard that. What a flog

 

[BrianSetzer]

Very happy.
Keep banking those 4 points Baggers

Fair chance that you are going to play winless teams. In round 1 100% chance, round 2 50%. You could also say that we have beaten last years grand finalist and a recent premier with 14 premiership players going round in our second game.
