Autopsy 15 point loss to Carlton

[BloodRet]

Blakey was sensational again. Turning into an incredible player

Impressed by him again, but he really needed to nail that goal at the start of the 4th. Same with Logan at the end of the 3rd but it's hard to have a go at them tonight they were both good.

 

[Nuggetz]

Fk the umpires

Whatever was changed in the mids for the 2nd half worked. We need that mix from the start next week

Bell goneskis, never again unless we're decimated for injuries

Ladhams with one of his lazy games again. Hope he becomes more consistent

Wicks meh

We looked soo much better when Mcinnerny was more involved in the 2nd half. Think he needs a few games just on the wing.

Lloyd was great tonight, probably his best game this year

Big loss for us ladder position wise. Hope we can maintain 5-6th position and someone falters in the top 4

Mcdonald starred tonight, it was coming based on his recent weeks

Outs: Bell, Wicks, JPK, Ladhams
Ins: Campbell, Ronke, Stephens?, Amartey?

 

[Wolfgang West]

while I agree we set up to mark, we have got to deal with ground balls in defence. We have too many go up too often.

All over the ground. Papley and wicks bludged their arse off in the first half up forward when it come to getting to the drop and as you say the back half never had support when it was ground ball. Mids need to be looked squarely in the eye for that as well for failing to push back hard enough to at least lend support, to at least try and quell their smaller types who were buzzing around all over the place when they realised everything including shitty umpiring was going their way.

campbell looked good when he came on

 

[Nuggetz]

for the people who attended the game, were the booing buddy? it sounded like it on tv. if so, what flipping scum

 

[melbournehammer]

By the way I’ve got to say that hewett moaning to gulden that he ducked his head was humorous given that he relied on that to get frees for his entire career

Only briefly. Think it stopped as quick as it begun once they realised they were looking pretty ****ing embarrassing. Booed Kennedy after the incident which was once again embarrassing as he was aided by trainers off the ground. Anyone who knows anything about the game knows Kennedy is a scrupulously fair player. Bum club for years who now think they are entitled to an armchair ride. Dickhead supporter group.

Didnt notice - they did boo Parker at one stage which seemed odd given Parker hadn’t done anything

 

[Nuggetz]

losing the hitouts is flipping pathetic though. we lost to a 2nd/3rd stringer and mids. what a flipping shit show by our rucks. need a resurrection.

 

[Cadsky]

We've gone backwards this year. Very frustrating. Either that or we've stagnated and everyone's gone past us. This won't be our year and neither will next year unless we make some big charges.

That i imagine will be a big talking point in the review.. i have no doubt we would of been confident in winning that position.

 

[SwansProudly]

Warner had 12 clangers tonight apparently

minus 1 clanger when Warner did bounce the ball

Ehhh its more we caught the opposition by surprise last season we went from a boundary line stoppage team to going through the middle with Dawson and Blakey.

Teams are now aware and force us wide.

We lost 2 significant players without bringing in anything to offset that.

Hickey 2021 was going to be impossible to replicate again he was that good.

We had a easier draw.

 

[BloodRet]

minus 1 clanger when Warner did bounce the ball

this made me rage when i saw it and then 50 for dissent just a smack in the face

There was from a small section at one time, couldn’t figure it out myself

 

[melbournehammer]

One other thing that shits me no end about umpiring is how they will always pay holding on every other teams forwards even where they do it first. The free kick to curnow at the death of the first quarter had curnow with a fist full of mills jersey which actually happened before mills did anything. But the idiotic blind git who I think was the same idiotic blind git who let weitering drop the ball in a tackle ten metres out decided to gift Carlton a goal

I was there and yes they were. The game is supposed to be celebrating indigenous round and he arguably the greatest indigenous player. Also Parker being booed which I also found strange..

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Probably the same section that booed Goodes when he did the warcry?

 

[kickthething]

The dissent call was just as bad

Umpires get sucked in when they see a mismatch like Mills on Curnow so they must think Mills was holding Curnow.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

The dissent call was just as bad

Its the stupidest rule ever introduced in the game.

Farcical

 

[kickthething]

For everything that we saw in the second quarter, if we make some better decisions in the last we win. We were all over then and the poor decisions with ball in hand going inside 50, players kicking with better handball options, putting it on Buds head when there were players free almost every entry, if we look left and right rather than just straight ahead we would be looking at a win whether deserved or not. I have no doubt we were one goal from winning, Carlton were shaky…that’s not even talking about the soft frees against. This is the year we need to get to where we want to go

 

[Duggo81]

Blakey was sensational again. Turning into an incredible player

He is an amazing player with balls to take the game on. His kicking is elite so.much better him taking kick ins than Lloyd.

Logan McDonald showed tonight what he will become a star.

Imo Horse lost it when he sent Mills to Cripps at the first bounce basically conceded we are playing on your terms.

I rate your team just need a few adjustments and you can contend. All is not lost long way to go

It was an annoying loss because the last quarter tonight almost mirrored the last quarter against the Giants in the elimination final exactly. Clearly, we haven't learnt from our mistakes in that regard and proved yet again that we still lack the experience and maturity to manage close games.

 

[Swan4Life]

To think we used to be the benchmark for tough contested footy.

We were humiliated, nay - bitchslapped like never before in the first half. Once again the intensity and pressure were like both Albo's competency level and the most useless waste of taxpayers money ever - net zero!

Second half they restored some credibility but not much more than that. We proved yet again that we are mental short people when the heat is on.

And the umpires - especially that little worm in number 22 - can EAD. And probably do.
