Autopsy 2023 Rd 8 Mediocre Blues gone after Quarter time

[bluesfever16]

How can Charlie an Harry carry when we're getting smacked at the centre bounces????

my point is that we are far too reliant on them, regardless of whether we win or lose and that is a testament to how bang average the rest of our forwards are. But you are correct Big O destroyed pitto in the centre.

 

[Sam The Doc]

I hate to say it but we have to play like the pies if we loose then lets be fun to watch. Not so frigging boring

This involves being fit to run out 4 quarters .. which we are not

 

[Ezayyak]

Unfortunately sacking the coach isn't going to solve the issue. We have created this environment and we will not solve it by getting another coach. Good coaches will be very wary to come to this club correctly believing it is a whole club issue.

The leadership needs to take charge and sit with the coaching group and tell them the game plan will not work, be brave and accept it and make changes.

You're very Zen tonight Thy. I see you, legs crossed gravitating 6 inches off the floor.

Must be the effect of the home of his namesake getting a team.

You'd wanna be on the Devils now...

 

[gunslingr]

Supporters are understandably upset.

Not sure I like the new, more measured you as much as the older you. It's like your meds have been switched up

Yeah well we would build into it

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Spot on.

'he's the only one that tries'......love that one on bigfooty

His disposal tonight was terrible. He hasn't improved one iota since 5 years ago. Has so many glaring weaknesses in his game that he needs to be dropped. Trying is good but too many holes

Seems like a nice enough fella, tries hard, but while he's in our best 22, along with others, we'll never be serious contenders for finals or premierships.

With the list we have, which is one of the best in the comp, there's no excuses for the performances we have been putting in so far this year.

 

[FRUMPY]

I think we were tied to salary cap issues and the priority was to resign our key assets which we have done.

You know the cap is bad when dow is happy to stay and collect his $400-500k to play reserves [emoji1787]

72 points from turnovers…
Can someone confirm this? 12 goals from turnovers tonight out of their 15 goals kicked?
Surely not…

Think said in presser 9 shot on goal from D50 turnover .. pressure kills our disposal same theme last year

I don't think I did watch the same game, and I don't think my expectations are as high as yours.

2 of the Lions goals in the first were from direct errors by our boys. First Saad's hard work was undone ending with Daniher kicking the luckiest goal of his career (the look on his face after he scored said it all), and the other was Weitering picking out a Lions player under no pressure at all.

You didn't see that? Did you also ignore our effort even in the last to keep pushing even though most of our sulking supporters left in the third quarter? Tell me who had more 'mental fortitude', the players making mistakes and playing to the final siren or the fans who left with 45 min still to play?

Have a cup of tea and calm down.

We did try to take the game on, we just failed at it. I think its more of a fact we just don't have the cattle as much as some people think we have a flag side we are frittering away. Borderline top 8 is about where we are at talent wise.

 

[thechamps1974]

If you don't rate our players then why do you care if they leave?

You're seriously overreacting and you know it. Calm down.

Been overracting for near on 30 years. At this rate ill be overreactibg for 30 more

 

[lilJeffyG]

Have a look at our next four games the only game I think we’re a chance in is against the cheats other than that it would be miraculous to win one of the other four

We're.not winning the next 5.
4-8-1, at round 14.

Levitating?

 

[TheReal99prelim]

They were good tonight and not the problem at all. 4 goals and 6 tackles inside 50 between Durdin and Motlop

half those goals were junk
How many of those tackles stopped players dead in their tracks or better still, caused a HTB?
They were f**** poor and have been all year IMHO

 

[FRUMPY]

Some stats:
Carlton +57 possessions (395-338)
Carlton +25 contested (155-130)
Carlton +50 uncontested (253-203)
Carlton +4 centre clearances (14-10)
Tied Inside 50s (47-47)

Cripps 159 metres gained.
Hewett 192 metres gained.
Walsh 221 metres gained.
Kennedy 306 metres gained in 1 quarter.

What this shows is that the game plan is slow, chippy, stodgy. We aren’t good enough with ball in hand and by foot to play that control style. We lack any dare. We lack any speed both by foot and speed of ball movement. Unleash the shackles and give this team a chance or it’s going to be a death by 1000 cuts. Absolute no man’s land.

Confirms why I always roll my eyes at stats

This is why we tried to go slower earlier in the year, for this reason. It's hard to create a game plan which is akin to putting lipstick on a pig.

 

[The Sultan]

We need to take a leaf out of collingwoods book, play a bit more like them.
I vomited a bit in my mouth writing that

Surely pretty much everyone on the list has played games of footy where pressure was applied. We need to find a way to beat teams that apply lots of pressure

 

[bigblueboy]

Walsh looked incredibly sore in the last quarter.

Point made, but harsh to highlight Cripps when majority of his position are in tight flicking out handballs,
