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

[HBF]

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

That blind turn at CHB was some kind of turn. He had a good one today Plow

 

[The old campaigner]

I had us down for 6-4 or 7-3 after round 10.

Still a chance!

 

[Soapy V]

What do you expect the coach to say in public?
now I’m not Nostradamus but it was clear to me they’d be the most underperformed today.

Wasn't in public. "Clear" was it? What was their roles and instructions?

 

[thylacine60]

Hogan will take too many votes off him

 

[Blues177]

Fantastic 4 quarter effort today..... making it to 100 points...and how... right on the siren!!

McKay, SPS and Cripps all great. Great long goals by Levi.

Proud of the team. Loved the buzz and the blues supporters singing the song as we left the stadium.

Confidence boosting win.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Probably 4-1

It's a redundant point now, but Kreuzer nullifies the influence of Nankervis and we go a long way to winning. Likewise against Sinclair, then Lycett and Witts...

We will win many more games this year.

 

[HBF]

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

With SPS leading the charge.

 

[thylacine60]

100 pfffffffffft

Try 72.5K

kids......

 

[ferrisb]

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

I swear someone is cutting up onions!

Polson's role is to harass and pressure, which he didn't do well enough. If he was supposed to tag JJ, he didn't do a great job. JJ played his best game of the season. I'm not sure what other role he possibly could've played. Think L'Ob was a run with job on the wing and defensively was really good. Needs a bit more of the ball getting but that'll come. His fumble fit on the wing was funny :'), happens to everyone at some stage or another.

SPS was on fire today.

 

[passmark]

Bizarre because I saw him lay multiple tackles and wrap the ball up a couple times. Think there is a differing definition of what a tackle is amongst the AFL's own stat recorders.

thought the same.
a **** up maybe?

I'm not sure what other role he possibly could've played. Think L'Ob was a run with job on the weekend and defensively was really good. Needs a bit more of the ball getting but that'll come.

Far from a disaster for them both to go back and work on their games, no disgrace either. We just have better options available and are in the business of winning at the moment.

 

[passmark]

Winning without Charlie also significant.

To be fair to LOB, the ball got knocked or handballed to his feet. Wasn’t entirely his fault

 

[Soapy V]

er, struggling to recall a better 5th post.......

I rate Dow along with SPS but he's 2 seasons behind him. What Dow is doing at the moment after a poor pre season is impressive

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Exactly. They can be praised and dropped to work on some things, which they both need to do. Especially if Willo and Cuningham are ready to go.

 

[HBF]

On the doggies board they are saying they need a kpf to help naughton. I wanted to reply they had Boyd and schache. I even typed it. But didn’t post it.

They should have played Schache so they could have at least moved Naughton into defence.

finally caught up with this thread - you clowns have been runaway galoots since the siren - seriously have to be at the ground to see how much space 18 & 10 cover - harry is building a nick riewoldt size tank - you just cannot put a price on that - and he is 7 feet tall! oh mamma.........

 

[ESKIE]

Please ... those saying Dow needs a rest and is not up to it at the moment. Have another look at his game - the number of times he did not record a possession but tapped the ball on, stopped the opposition, did all those 1%ers. And did all of this in the middle of the congested play was immense. He does have weaknesses and his kicking is sometimes not a good as it could be but he well and truely deserves to keep his spot in the team. He is definitely best 22 every day of the week.

Absolutely positively my wordy yes

I'm not getting into long discussions as I want to enjoy the win and Carlton more. I'll just say you're wrong

Might have some bloody sand in my eyes.

Nah, Lemming. its hay fever!!

 

[Jeffy38!]

What a beautiful win! Congratulations to Bolts for showing the footy world what his plan is. And my golly what a plan. Viva les Bleus!

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I’ve done nothing today except sit on my backside for a few hours at Docklands and I’m spent. Carlton played a brand of football today that kept me engrossed for four quarters. I think that’s why I’m so tired. I usually get a rest for a couple of quarters when Carlton go dormant and the oppo dominates but not today.

Where do you start?

Ball movement was elite today. By hand and foot, didn’t matter. Short or long or in close, didn’t matter. Plenty of run and handball receives. Extras at the contest meant players always had an outlet if it got hot in the contest. Stoppage work couldn’t be faulted. Defence continued its good work. They’re stingy which I like. Dominant players in all parts of the ground.

Footy’s pretty simple when you get things right.
