Autopsy Rd 5 Did Blues win? They shit it in!

[HARKER]

Anyone want to ask Knightmare whether he's re-assessed his ratings and his strong view that Smith is the best midfielder in this draft.

Bit bitchy I know but we won. Can afford to do it today.

 

[HBF]

Debate over.

Cripps > Bont.

Was it ever in doubt?

Was encouraged by Plowman's game, best he has played in a while. Hope he gets so much needed confidence and belief from it.

 

[F_therest]

Last week I commented that it’s tough loving our club sometimes... This week well and truly makes up for those low times. Go Baggers!!

Literally went from the lowest of the low (loss to GC with a kick just before the siren) to the highest of highs (demolished the Dogs, broke the 100 point barrier with a goal on the siren) within a week.

Gotta love footy.

 

[chelseacarlton]

I'm not crying ... you're crying!

Licky lick lick

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Congrats on the win guys.

Truly deserved it, outplayed us every minute of the game.

Good luck for rest of 2019

You too champ. Thanks mate

 

[HBF]

Weird how you play gibbons in his proper position and he looks like a different player

He was very good today.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Dominated in midfield which was a welcome surprise...it's the key to us being a good team and only going to improve.
Can't remember the last time our mids had these sort of numbers:

Cripps - 36
SPS - 35
Murphy - 28
Fisher - 27
Walsh - 26
Gibbons - 21

Dow and LOB the only mids to let us down, but they are only second year players.

Also have Kennedy, Setterfield, Lang and Stocker to look forward to.

Cunnnnningham and Williamson replace Polson and LOB and we are instantly a 5 goal better team.

 

[BlueBalls#17]

Arghh !! God yes that was good, almost knocked Mum out I threw such a big punch when Walshy broke the ton !

Seen the improvement every week, but improvement is expected from everyone and wins aren't.
To many good things to say about the boys today, everyone performed their roles but SPS and Harry definitely did that and more.
I love Dow but he either needs a week in the magoos or a week of solid kicking training.
Nothing against Polsen and O'brien but they shouldn't be in the side atm.
Charlie shouldn't just walk back in with Levi playing like that either, he needs to step it up has not been himself this year.
I say next week outs are Polsen and LOB, ins are Kennedy and Willo but would not complain if they give Willo one more week in the magoos, if Cunningham is fit bring him straight back .

UP THE BAGGERS! ❤

 

[F_therest]

McGovern for Charlie. That’s just simple.

McGovern has been better than Charlie this year so i wouldn't do that personally.

LOL NORF

Great wandering in here

Essence of liniment, whiff of grippo, tang of sweat laden strapping, aura of victory, wonderful accompaniment to my cognac and cigar, yet minus the cologne stench le detractor.

The sentiment prior to the game:

• Won't win a game with Levi and Polson
• Levi can't kick, can't wait for him to be gone
• We will be 0 - 22
• Bolton can't coach, will be sacked, has not got a workable gameplan, I feel for the indoctrination of our youth

Well, just goes to show that when you are as competitive as we have been this year, when things click we can match it with any side. Yes we kicked straight and they didn't, but we have been on the other end of similar outcomes this year. We will continue to be inconsistent for the next 18 months, but the start of this year was ground zero and will will start to trend up.

Can't wait to dissect the game, players, Bolton, gameplan and tactics
For now, back to this cognac

Enjoy the Cognac and Cigar, Polson will be a hot topic this week

 

[bluemahogany]

Now that’s the nerves are gone I can actually appreciate that we dominated the game. They never went on a run. The defence stood up, and the midfield dominated. When’s the last time we dominated like that 2013? Buzzing

 

[therubbernub]

He is needed in our team - so versatile & smart

Amazing- he is able to somehow thrive in this club of ours - the club that doesnt know how to develop players

 

[cfc4life]

Footy is insane. One win makes such a difference to a team's confidence. Some boys became men out there today.

 

[Funk]

He may not be with us anymore but all the best to Eddie Betts on his 300th today.

Good luck to Eddie - I hope he kicks zero goals the Crows get smashed by 15 goals.

Would be the best Easter Sunday ever..........

 

[setantypants]

**** yasssss! Great stuff boys!

Don’t think we can drop the Casboult for Charlie!

SPS walshy Harry fishy woop woop gibbons in the middle

 

[HBF]

Walsh - 26 touches, 4 tackles, 92% DE, 21 pressure acts, kicked the goal that took us above 100

Oh and ran a lazy 15.9 kms (0.8km more than the next best)

Still on track for all-Australian squad

Now that is some day at the footy.

 

[thylacine60]

We’ve got 13 first win blokes in the middle of the victory song!!!

Noice.

link or GTFO.....

 

[therubbernub]

Right into the face of Caro

Thats the stuff of nightmares

 

[Iamcarlton]

Gotta love that hug Crippa gave bolts after the win Cripps looks so invested well done blues hope we can build on this now .

[RedFury]

Isn't it interesting that before the game people were still lamenting us being too tall with Casboult's inclusion.

On the doggies board, a lot of the talk is about how they went in too small against us.

 

[GenYBlue]

I so want Suns to win now......

Me too!

I know Harry had a super game, but hot damn Samo literally grabbed that game by the ball(s)!
