Autopsy Rd 16 Blues last quarter comeback ends in heartbreak

[Dadda Dave]

Bloody rapt for Jack Silvagni today. Was brilliant. That bit of play to Kruezer to set up Fisher goal was "Special".

If it wasn't for Jack we wouldn't have been close.

Yep...reads the play so much better than the average bear..
Running into that opening goal was a good example ....
That he almost fluffed..

Bog by far. Had to work hard (like he always does) but it paid off.

That passage of play was brilliant. There was another where he kicked the ball off one step in congestion and got it to another player (I forget who it was) which was brilliant.

I am starting to believe he could become our Josh Kennedy (Swans)

It's more of a seniors club.

Then I'm in!

 

[No1Suspect]

Schumacher. Can launch the thing. It's his bread and butter.

After this weeks vfl? Not so sure

Little Stevie Wright....killing it with Evie, on the Opera House steps in ‘76.

Glorious.

 

[Eiffel 65]

On a positive note, we reached the 100 point barrier again today.

A fair effort considering we only had five goals to half time.

 

[Stamos]

The umpire bashing in here is embarrassing. The free kick count was 26-26, yes there were some shockers but they went our way too.

Out of interest, which shockers resulted in Carlton goals?

 

[Blue Warrior]

Great comeback but we should never have been that far back from the beginning.
An accumulation of bad decision making, skill execution and some momentum draining umpiring had us down by 5 goals. The rub of the green we got against Freo definitely was worn away in this game with some baffling interpretations sometimes 10 seconds apart which didn't do us any favours .
But good teams find a way through adversity and to be able to fight back was great to watch.
Next year when we have a full compliment of our better player/decision makers playing and are winning more than losing we will be a team who can make other teams sweat and fight for a win. Really proud of the effort today shows that we are coming and are not going to just hand over the 4 points. Go Blues!

If Teaguey can iron out our flat starts I think we might have found our coach.

He was bloody fantastic

It ended up being that but it was terribly uneven until last quarter

never change, numbers......

are you single?

 

[gardiner stand]

Great effort today.
The weak link week in and week out is Plowman. How many goals was he directly responsible for?
Unfortunately the new coach is stuck with him until end of 2020.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Jones was very good last week as well

TBH not like mcdonald is supposed to be good either. Been crap most of the year

Correct. Had we of won the game, no one would be talking about the umpires.

Is he in the clique?

 

[Blue and Blue]

Really? This is what you've made from the change?

I felt this to be the most important game under Teagues watch to date and yes.......it was a fail, but a 100 point fail and without all the players that would have made us immediately better.

What do you think may have come about under Boltons watch? I'll tell you what. He would have been paralysed. At least Teague tried a few things.
No need to keep on propping up Bolton. He worked hard. He tried his guts out, but he was a failure of good measure.

Really think you missed the irony of Arr0w 's statement.

 

[thylacine60]

currently being assessed.........

 

[ferrisb]

Last four rounds

1st quarters: 0 wins, 4 losses, 52 points for, 113 against, 46.0%

4th quarters: 4 wins, 0 losses, 130 for, 66 against, 197.0%

Solve this and we will trouble any side.

Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.
Jack will always work hard, love him.

You have misread my post completely

Have a look at the sentiment in this thread, either blaming the umpires or finger pointing at periods we are not at our best

It will continue, until the group matures and is able to execute better for 4 quarters.

Our disposal and decision making lost the game, nothing more, nothing less, no matter the coach

It’s happened three times this year for only one win. Where are the days where 100 points was enough to win a game?

 

[Arr0w]

I’m not denying that. What’s your point?

Stop blaming the umpires for the loss, they played no part in the result of the game
