Autopsy 2023 Round 1 DRAW. Ugly Blues still can't close out games

[GinTonic]

Chip, Chip, Fumble. We can't hold a lead for shit in the dying minutes. Why does it seem we always play scared? Sick of this trying to shut the game down with 5 minutes left shit.

Coach. Sign. Shut it down.

LOB: Lololololol let's go for a huge run and turnover.

Are you actually joking? Harry fell over

 

[IMTOPS]

There’s still extra time, right?

 

[Bostonian]

Why do we have Jack Martin in our team?
Remind me.

Because we offered him lots of money.

 

[RedFury]

I'll take that TBH.

We were garbage and the 2 points is probably almost worth 4 for us because our percentage is often lacking.

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Not a great game from either side and a draw seems appropriate for the way we played. A lot of errors by both but seeing it’s round 1 and hot conditions, I’m sure we’ll settle down with a few more rounds under our belt. Happy to get the 2 points in the end as another choke loss would have been hard to swallow.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Wtf Cripps.

I love Crippa but Farout, have a laugh with Taranto and you’ve played crap.

Draw is better than a loss, but gee whiz

He was not good tonight. Lethargic. Needed him to be a brute in there.

 

[BigBreakfast]

LOB, you are not a rookie anymore. It’s your job to hit a target there! Control, patience ffs

 

[Revenant1995]

I50s
Them 66
Us 45
And we looked so laboured going forward. Just a little bit better and we would've won. So near, and yet so far...

• With Ross Lyon back coaching are we preparing for 2023 to be a choke and low scoring fest?
• We should’ve lost, some lucky goals and no forward control anytime in the game. Hanson needs to get the forward line going fast.
• McGovern, Marten underdone. Hollands wasn’t ready.
• LOB keep running and kick long to goal... a filthy point was enough... or worst a few more seconds off the clock.
• Martin, Riewoldt and Cotchin done, and once we get some back so is Ed.

 

[The Edukator]

McGovern is no good

That is not a team playing finals. Very disappointed. Gelong might rip us a new one....

 

[Horizon]

Just no composure. We can not handle the big moments.

 

[Mondyboy]

An entire preseason to work on how to close out a game, and that was probably the worst of the last three.

Bank the points, want this team peaking in August but * me this is gonna be one long ass season.

No. Melbourne game was worse.

Both Young and Weitering just watching Lynch fly for a mark, poor

Game was always going to be 50/50

Pretty much inexcusable letting him taking a sitter of a mark

 

[DIG]

It sucks but Bolton missed a late sitter too, credit to Ed for closing down his snap angle and rushing him.

Thank god we at least got 2 points.

 

[myblueroan]

Because we offered him lots of money.

Oh good.

 

[gunslingr]

You guys who are potting LOB for that last Blues play (when Harry slipped after the ball was kicked perfectly to him) are absolutely out of your goddamn minds. Time to go through the match thread and this one on an ignore spree and preemptively improve my 2023 BF experience

 

[Brezsa]

Plus side % doesn’t mean anything anymore

 

[JuddgementDay]

Not happy, but we just take those 2pts & move on

Lots of things to work on during the week!

 

[The Edukator]

LOB is still bad. Had McKay open on his own at the end and waited too long and missed the open target and kicked to a contest instead. Dumb footballer.

A draw is probably more then we deserved, we looked slow and yet were outmuscled in the contest
Shoulda woulda couldn’t didn’t

 

[BigBreakfast]

Take the two points and run there! Jack S, sorry mate. Ahh the learnings.

Says a bit about our endeavour given we were smashed in the inside 50s and held on.
