Autopsy 2024 Rd 8 Disappointing loss for Blues

[CCurnow3picks]

We are truly average despite having the best FB, FF, CHF and midfield in the comp.

We’ll rally at some point this year and but miss top 4.

If you waiting for better you’re wasting your time.

your not lying down are you ?

 

[Opium]

Our midfield is too one paced. Dont think we have the right balance.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

44 points against from stoppage and now we are 16th in the comp. ****ing horrendous

 

[branedotorg]

Cunners kicked it 3 times in to the forward 50 which resulted in marks and goals. Wasn't great, but it was his first game back too

He wasn't great but he and E Hollands get a pass from me. Grade C.

(Fantasia F, Durdin D, Curnow D, Harry B, owies B).

 

[Accidental genius]

I know its his first game back but Cunners was another one that had a terrible night - good games are too far and in between - when not injured that is

Pendles in clear space in our d50 and cunners guarding space 15 m away all by himself

Lots of examples like that and not just cunners - too many passengers tonight

 

[Coops93]

Durdin 5 disposals @ 40% efficiency, 0 contested possessions, 0 tackles, 9 pressure acts, 0 score involvements

Fantasia 4 disposals @ 75% efficiency, 4 contested possessions, 2 tackles, 10 pressure acts, 1 score involvement

Certainly can't just single out Fantasia here.

Ive doubted Durdin for a while now. I'm just not sure what he actually provides at the moment. Supposedly he's pressure forward but I dont see it, neither do the stats, and he's certainly not a goal threat.

I see potential but not seeing him provide anything at the minute.

I called this a month ago. The GWS win was an anomaly. Until we acquire an assistant with tactical nous and some speed and class, we are nowhere near it.

Collingwood were leagues above us tonight from watching it at the ground.

Nostradamus

 

[BlueZombie]

I’m not voting on this s**t. None of em deserve one.

same.

 

[CupperTea]

Fantasia out Motlop in
Young out McGovern in
Cincotta out Saad in
Durdin out Martin in

Marchbank may find a spot also.

Harry why the F did u not kick it long to the top of the square

 

[Opium]

44 points against from stoppage and now we are 16th in the comp. ******* horrendous

It's a midfield issue.

 

[Prem17]

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

Maybe, but that's not the issue atm. It's our lack of system and quality ball use.
At least 4 times tonight guys had a half ar..... dab at the football with their foot in a contested situation instead of putting their head over the ball. Each lack of effort directly led to goals.
Lewis Young was guilty at least twice.

Cincotta played well. Did his job on Hill

 

[Benaly28]

Surely Williams and Fantasia don’t play next week??

Add Durdin.

Certainly can't just single out Fantasia here.

I didn't even realise Durdin was playing. For a forward to have ZERO score involvements is embarrassing for him.
Its round 9 and still no MOTLOP. Must have the worst hamstrings in the history of AFL footy

 

[Faz 2000]

Hewy needs to take his first option - hangs on too long at times

Finding the balance between first option and panicky sky balls off the back foot.

We get it wrong a lot at the moment.

SO few examples of a Blue running shoulders out towards goal with open grass. Almost none, in fact. Everything is around the corner or up the chimney.

Funnily enough, Hewett and Cripps seem to be the ones who get out the “front” most often and they are not the guys we want doing it. Got to get run-by options and quick hands. The Owies to Cuningham score being a great example of how to get speed on the ball.

mumblingpie too.

 

[Red_man2008]

I cancelled my blues membership tonight. First time in 27 years. I can’t cope with this. What do I really get out of it. Misery. They should pay me.

 

[AvantGardener]

Our midfield is too one paced. Dont think we have the right balance.

Especially when we only play 4 mids, but have 6 small forwards and make a mid the sub instead of on the bench.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

I feel like Hewett has been exposed a bit this season. Ball in hand he's been rather poor. He's our best defensive mid for sure but this season he's been poor ball in hand and isn't breaking tackles like he once did. If he doesn't break a tackle he's not mobile enough to step through so he's got nothing else.

He was exposed tonight - but has been great this year prior.

He needs to find the outside with his first opportunity.

 

[Benaly28]

Boring ball movement after quarter time.

Coz this club is stupid as ****

 

[Accidental genius]

One positive for me from tonights game is Cincotta - he was good.

 

[Worm4]

Hewy needs to take his first option - hangs on too long at times

Agreed, he is too slow to make a decision when he gets the footy
