Autopsy Rd 11 Blues create a contest but fade in the last

[HBF]

Time to make the call on Murphy, cost himself another contract with this type of performance on the back of similar efforts.

We will not improve while he still makes poor decisions and can’t tackle or smother. Time to play another kid who is part of the future.

Agree with this. Murphy needs to finish up at the end of the year. He completely lacks a defensive side in his game.

 

[ETET]

David King should be sacked for what he just said.....

Our three KPF our injured.

what a ******* idiot.....

He is an idiot I grant you but we need continue to bang it in there at times like we did have a whole host of KPF.

Cripps needs to spend an off season kicking for goal it’s deplorable

Needs to kick those

 

[BigBreakfast]

No mate. It’s me. I just barrack for GWS now. Just for a little while. My heart, blood pressure, and sanity, need a short break from being a Carlton supporter.

Take as long as you feel you need, Coach. Got to be careful of that heartlidge tear of yours.

Free kicks were 14 to 12, doesn't look on sided to me

Free kick count is never a good indicator as it's the ones that aren't paid that are often the killers (NicNat and Ryan x2). Umps also gave us some garbage at the end once the game was already decided, which I might add seems to happen to us a lot.

The issue was that we got one very lucky HTB in the first quarter (Against Sheed maybe?), and it seemed like they over-corrected from there on out. From that point we only got a HTB if the umpire had absolutely no choice but to pay it.

Oh and for the record, the HTB on SPS (the second one) was absolutely there. Picked up the ball and went all wide-eyed and started shuffling backward toward their goal before being inevitably tackled, was agonising to watch.

 

[murphster]

Plenty to like, especially with 5 of our 6 forwards out.
I’d love them to keep TDK in.
I’d love Kennedy to spend more time forward. He’s be a weapon there, more so than Cripps who can’t buy a goal.

Unfortunately at the moment we need Kennedy as the link man between back and forward with Gov and McKay both out and he has done it very well.

 

[HBF]

Yep it's this. TDK was doing a great job against Nic Nat in the 2nd quarter, don't know why they had to bring Pittonett back in with an injury concern.

Give TDK a rest maybe.

 

[bigm386]

Perhaps you’re right.
My biggest knock other than not getting it enough is when he does his disposal is very poor. So many deliveries forward go anywhere and even his lateral handpassing in close misses targets. Perhaps if that was better than even 10 a game if 70 percent were great would be useful.

I think our coaches need to start trying players in natural positions. We seem to be going square peg into round hole often. SPS also.

 

[BlueBayou]

umpire numbers 7 & 22 both Perth boys.

Is this true? How do you know?

What an absolute shit show of 'optic's' for the AFL if so.

Almost as bad as Paki or Indian Test Umpires...

 

[Arr0w]

Is that you, Thy?

Have you got anything to add rather than blaming umpires or playing the man?

 

[bergs]

Glass half full, our season is looking very similar to Brisbane 2 years ago, in most games but not sealing it.

Worth rotating the older guys Doc,Eddie,Simmo,Murph over the course of the next few weeks for a rest with Dow,O’Brien,Honey,even Polson

Get serious game time/fitness into TDK
With Jack most likely missing, out SPS rotating mid/forward with Fish [emoji226]

Need to generate run form the back, Willo is nearly providing that. Doc is struggling a bit.

Jones at Chb, Weiters full back seemed to work well.

Strong game from Kennedy, especially his marking.

I like Cuners but I do fear he's going to be that sort of player who teases with a BOG type performance once every 4-6 weeks and is reasonably underwhelming the rest of the time.

Yes Fischer give you more week in week out

 

[Dadda Dave]

Showed a lot of heart, tackling was top class earlier. Injuries killed us again.

Anyone claiming umpires don’t influence a game are delusional.

Don't suger coat it Jab.. SPS one FMD..

 

[BigBreakfast]

The AFL needs to take a leaf out of FIFA's book and ensure umpires are from neutral cities.

When Madrid play an away game in Milan, the referees aren't Italian. They bring in referees from England, or Germany, etc.

We're well overdue for a similar system in the AFL. It's not like umpires need the same sort of recovery time as players. There's no reason why Perth umpires can't fly across to an east coast city on Friday and fly back Saturday/Sunday night after a game.

It'll never happen, but I can dream dammit!

You are aware of the whole COVID thing right?

 

[HBF]

Team selection next week will be interesting.
Looking like Martin out for a few. Maybe Honey as a direct replacement for the HFF role?
You’d hope H and maybe Gov to come back, but who goes out?
Cottrell would be unlucky to be dropped immediately, he did some nice things and showed some real toe.
Fish will definitely stay in.
Maybe Betts gets a rest?

Alot of that makes sense. I think Betts needs a rest. Murphy could have a week off and of course Martin is injured. If its dry next week hopefully Gov and H are ready to go

[Opine]

I dun much like Richmond, but the push to the face by Dusty on Rockliff is the type of no nonsense stuff that I'd like to see from 1 or 2 of our blokes. We're a little too soft atm.

 

[blueblooded]

Umpiring killed momentum in that game again! It’s absolutely shocking and it’s costing us games. Imagine being a player and every week being officiated in a different way to your opposition! You’d drop your head wouldn’t you ? Eventually you’d break.

I don’t blame the players we cracked in today and they’re a good side but seriously the umpiring was a disgrace. Those two holding the ball goals against samo were telling, the umpires had a number of opportunities to pay similar frees in the opposite 50 but no! The one that should have been paid against Nic Nat was one example.

We’ve played 10 games this year and won the free kick count on 3 occasions only and some of the differentials are big. The game against the dogs we win by 50 and win every stat on the ground but lost the free kick count by 8 (12-20) .... how the **** is that possible?

What’s wrong with this club now is that we’ve decided we want to be social crusaders and nice people. What’s needed is a direction from board level to stand up and call it as it is. Make a video from every game of frees paid to the opposition and not paid to us and frees paid against us and not to the opposition, send it to the AFL and do it with a press release and pay the fine. Until that happens it won’t change.

 

[HBF]

Offering him another contract would be irresponsible. Games need to be invested into LOB who would provide more both offensively and defensively.

And Dow is better defensively as well.

 

[HBF]

Charming. I've been a paid up member for 30 years. I'm never fing off.

Yet you still want to switch clubs. Interesting.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Loving the melts on the coach... are supporters expecting a flag this year... we put up a great fight. Missing a forward line of Charlie, Gov, McKay, Martin and Cunners, have a think about that for a moment!!!

Problem is we just dont get them in together .
Could probably count on 1 hand the amount of times weve had a first choice forward set up over the past 3 seasons .

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Not buying what you are selling after today’s game Arr0w. Umpires were momentum killers for us and the impetus for them.

The very definition of influence

Have to agree with this. It seems like they hold a pillow over your face for 5 minutes until the momentum shifts the other way and you come up gasping for air and wondering what the hell just happened.

 

[HBF]

Get dow in out newnes. I’m concerned about Doc [emoji21] I don’t feel comfortable with him ball in hand

I think the two years off is starting to show.

Wish he'd show any amount of urgency. On track to be Yarran with less talent
