Autopsy 2024 Rd 8 Disappointing loss for Blues

[Bringbackeddie]

Jeez we need some troops back. Gov in particular along with saad. just have no creativity off half back. Martin also another one who I think adds a lot just as another lead up forward.

Yep - Martin in the side and we win tonight (and against Crows 3 weeks ago)

 

[passmark]

It does help the 8 day break compared to the 6 day break

Rubbish

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

It’s not a disappointment it’s expectation… normal play has resumed.. 2023 second half was an anomaly. We’ve just hit their season on track and put demons back into ours.

Cerra, Acres, Fantasia, Cunningham, Hewett, Durdin, Williams were all abysmal.

Cripps, Walsh below standard.

Curnow is getting on my goat this year with some of his thought process.

Heat is back on and Melbourne will smell blood.

Half and small forwards who provide no movement. Only transition in straight lines never change angles. Melbourne's defense will DEMOLISH that. Charlie clearly carrying a niggling injury so even easier for May etc.

 

[jooce8891]

and we really signed durdin on until 2026 hahahahaahahahahahaha

 

[BlueZombie]

Gee we’re poor. Anyone genuinely thinks we’re a top 4 side is delusional.

Comment of the night amigo.

 

[ESKIE]

What's the club winning with these players?

Strange loss. Only by 6 points. They had 23 more I50s, 86 to 54 tackles... they seemed more composed... but only 6 points... it says we're not far away, even though it feels like it...

What rev said !

 

[MckayMagic]

Disappointing to lose the same way two weeks in a row. Our ball movement from the back half has been horrible. It’s slow and super predictable we kick it out the same way every time. Need some run out of the back line and it’s not happening

 

[Criptonite]

I hate this club!

 

[BeijingBlue]

what does Zac Williams offer?

Lewis Young in slow motion the entire game they should have played kemp at least he try’s to take the game on.

Why make Kennedy the sub, instead of Fantasia who shouldn’t be playing as he does as much as a player not playing.

But our biggest issue is a movement out of the backline.

There is no one in our defense with any speed. We cannot break lines. Missing Saad terribly.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We are really missing Saad

We’re playing our bottom 6, & 4 of them are in the back 50.

Is what it is.

 

[jj1978]

What can you say? Our sh.. football is so sh.. it's laughable. Trouble is that we see the extremes in the same game far too often.

Fantasia (atm) is the worst player to pull on a Carlton jumper since Warnock.

At least Warnock had the excuse of being concussed. But Fantasia is done and he got 2 years… FMD.

doesn’t have it. Please drop him and never play him again. Sure he's a nice guy, nothing personal. Just never want to watch him playing for us again

 

[RAPPA]

Fantasia, Cuningham and Durdin. Not offering anything at the moment. Time for Durdin tho.

 

[T2B_]

On the other hand, maybe it'll give some of our players a kick up the arse and be humbled. Can't be taking on tackles constantly, hacking it to nowhere.

 

[Accidental genius]

Voss is why we have Fantasia and why he keeps getting selected.

Absolute s**t.

absolute waste of time fantasia -

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Proves even Bombers are going better than us that’s what concerns me

 

[King Cripps]

we should calm down
Started the same last year where we struggled but came home like a house on fire.
Still think we are going to do the same

 

[HarryFlashman]

Hard to understand why Kennedy was sub.

Doesn’t fumble enough, provides great hands & strong mark bailout option at centre half forward & kicks with penetration- ie he makes to many team mates look bad if he’s on the ground so he rides the pine

 

[Criptonite]

Williams, Fantasia, Durdin. I never want to see in the Navy Blue again.

 

[Bostonian]

No IQ.. gets sucked into a pi55ing contest for strength all the time.

He's obviously given the green light by the coaches to keep doing it.

When something happens week in and week out then it's obviously part of their plans.

 

[Coops93]

I didn't learn anything new in this loss about our side. The same issues reared their heads again.

Lack of threats inside attacking 50, poor entries and method going inside 50, and not much of a backup plan if our 1 wood doesn't win it. We're far too dependent on winning contest.

 

[Red_man2008]

Worst game I’ve ever seen. Been to two games live this year (**** you for suggesting it’s my fault). Kennedy as sub needdd to come on for Fantasia or Durdin at half time. We got SMASHED at the clearance when statistically they lose it by massive margins each week. I’m so pissed off.

Maybe another 9 week losing streak will help these squibs.

 

[Pablito]

No. We should have won that but were outplayed, outcoached and outwhateverelse. We are nowhere near as good as the top 4 teams and need to get rid of dead sh...t wood before we are able to get anywhere near the top teams.

Wrong. We're missing SOS, Fogarty, McGovern, Saad, Martin and Doc and we're only a goal off the reigning premiers.

Not to mention the 6 day break vs 8 day break.

 

[Wickzki]

Reasons we lost

1. Dumb footy

Daylight.

2. Umpires.


Not listed: the other team.

 

[gillon]

H 60 out, bomb it long and at least hit the lead

For all the doom and gloom on here, you guys probably win if Harry just bombs it to the goal square.
