Autopsy Rd 15 Blues by 4. No Cripps, No Charlie, No Doc, No Harry, no ******* problem!

[DangerousD]

F****** wow, so so happy with that performance, so much to like. Its too late to give a long post.

Todays game showed me something that has been missing most of the year, mongrel, tackling, pressure, hunting the opposition, getting in their faces, being un sociable, scrapping and just busting your arse that little bit more than your opposition over a prolonged period of time. It has reaffirmed to me, that our lack of pressure and tackling was by design and I'm so happy it seems to be gone.

Teague seems to make a lot more in game changes, player movements, Silvagni and Ed played a massive role today and Cas has been just fantastic.

The last 3 weeks have been a huge step in the right direction, lets keep moving forward.

Go Blues

 

[Blue and Blue]

I liked that he had Ed on Fyfe from the start, but when that didn't work out sent JSOS to him who did a good job, and let Ed hunt the ball and he finished with a ridiculous 16 clearances.

Teague is showing good tactical and match day nous.

Just watched the coaches presser and I am even more impressed.

 

[GoBlues!]

Every player had an influence on today’s result. Even Charlie with his behind in the first quarter. Without it we would have only won by 3 points.

What did CC do with his behind? I need to see the replay again.

 

[Dadda Dave]

You know it would be fun being admin for a day

You you and you, Ping Ping Ping

Red, red red

Thy would have to post to himself I reckon ..there'll be no one left ..

 

[Pafloyul]

We should be five goals behind at quarter time more often, we play better.

 

[Dominator68]

jack was immense in middle....why has it taken this long for our club to realise this is his best position...

There is no way JSOS could have done that role before. He has improved his tank to the stage where he can play through there.

 

[Blue and Blue]

So Jsos gets a contract extension right ?
Does anyone on here still think he only got drafted because of his name ?

He got drafted because of his genes. Hooray for common sense.
Time to get Jack working on three sons also..........

 

[RedFury]

Last year's equivalent after-the-bye game was also against Freo - at home - and we lost by 10 goals after being down by as much as 80 during the game!

Edit: and Freo are considered a significantly better side this year.

He got drafted because of his genes. Hooray for common sense.
Time to get Jack working on three sons also..........

If all the Silvagni boys have 3 sons, then they all have 3 sons. We will eventually field a team of only Silvagnis....

What a sight to behold.

We just have to bred them with athletic Women of different heights to get ruckman Silvagni and forward pocket Silvagni


EDIT: Rsos, HFFsos and BPsos is how we will call them.

 

[RedFury]

I actually don't think that Jack needs to tag in the midfield either. Just find the right match up (strong, not overly quick) and let him go head to head. Can spell with Matt Kennedy up forward as well.

This. Spells up forward are fine - but his main role needs to be close to the ball. He plays much better in that sort of role.

 

[BlueBayou]

Probably the best first year player I have seen

I beat you to this quote about a month ago. Couldn't agree more. Thought he played a different role inside more today and still got 30 touches. His efficiency was down from his usual lofty heights, he had been sensationally efficient for a first year player.

 

[F_therest]

Jack Silvagni, you've had your doubters, myself included, but today was your coming out party as a serious AFL footballer.

Excited by seeing Kennedy kick a couple of nice goals...i remember seeing him do it while at GWS.

Having some big bodied mids in Kennedy and JSOS rotating mid and forward, having an impact in both areas of the ground, could become a big strength.
Maybe Setterfield as well in time. And of course Cripps.

 

[My Hat]

So much to like. Ed. Jack. Levi. Murphy. Teague. The list goes on.

So much upside. Cripps. Charlie. Harry. First quarters.

Can't stop watching that last goal. Outstanding.

 

[Benaly28]

David Teague just calls it the way it is no BS.The Carlton football club has a hard decision to make at years end.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Ed Curnow had 16 clearances today.....the next best was Murphy with 7 and Fyfe with 6

9th most.... ALL TIME!!

 

[Pafloyul]

He got drafted because of his genes. Hooray for common sense.
Time to get Jack working on three sons also..........

Left to right: Jack, Tom, Ben.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

If someone could somehow post the last quarter I'll be so grateful.

Wanna watch it on the Foxtel app? I’ll happily give you my email and password....

 

[bluebrew]

Woke up this morning and spent 30 minutes agonizing over whether to go or not.

Miserable day, on my own, trying to save money.

Live a 30 minute walk from Optus stadium. Drive past it on the Graham Farmer freeway every day to work. Be good to get out of the house.

Ultimately decided to chill at home and watch it on Foxtel.

Next minute:

I just missed the game of the year. **** **** **** **** **** **** ****.

Went for a walk at hilary's ...

 

[Kruezing]

I wonder if coming off the bye was the reason for our slow start ... very unlike us to be five goals down early in a game ... ..

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Thought Walsh played an amazing team game today. Very inside doing simple things, always under pressure and was everywhere. Incredible for a first year player. Probably the best first year player I have seen since the draft started. GPS numbers would be through the roof

Totally agree, for a kid his age to be racking up 30 possie games as an 18 year old, is out of this world.

He is a behind the ball quarterback, yet his ability to get to 2nd, 3rd contests is beyond his years.

Lot of his work goes unnoticed.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Apparently a 6-6-6 breach by us at the last centre bounce. Makes it even more sweet to see the Freo supporters whinge hahah

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Casboult is having such a good season. Be it back, forward, or in the ruck, he's performing and doing a seriously solid job for the team. Couldn't be happier for him.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Our support in the ground was incredible

Bloody well done to the WA Bluebaggers

Was thrilled as a VIC to be there, the diehard rusted on WA Blues always make it a pleasure to watch a game here, now getting ready for the 11.50 Qantas redeye..

 

[Soapy V]

Happy for MLG & SOS. Have copped a lot recently but what they are doing is right and the vindication is coming. They haven’t waivered. Great stuff [emoji106]

 

[Percy2257]

Can we hear from those posters from Victoria who went to the game but who lamented the fact that they were going after the team was announced on Thursday with Crippa, Harry and Cunnefs as outs. Hoe do you feel now?
