Autopsy 2024 Rd 13 Blues shoot down the Bombers to move into 2nd

[Accidental genius]

We've come a long way since the start of the rebuild

significant improvement since midway through last year and its getting better, more consistent

few more layers as well - turnover game now improving - something we havent been good at previously

 

[Uncle Fester]

Elijah is an absolute natural. Is only going to get better, is a pleasure to watch.

Old school carlton lair. Just love it. Our premiership teams have always had someone like him

 

[SammaGilberto]

Any news on McGovern?

Not listed in the match report as injured so possibly nothing but Voss will speak soon and update I'd assume.

 

[bigm386]

Essendope folk will reference the missed goals, but the opportunities we allowed weren't uncontested marks in the goal square.

TDK was immense.

Cincotta is a lock for our best 22.

Loved E Hollands game. Really need that contract sorted.

Durdin coming on for a quarter at least had some impact. Which is better than some of his 4 quarter efforts this season. Hopefully can build.

Any news on McGovern?

According to fox 'precautionary'

 

[All Australian]

Finals like atmosphere and intensity. Might be why Essendon crumbled. That Tassie boy goes ok.

 

[GenYBlue]

Nothing is as sweet as beating Essendon

We are such a better team with our personnel back.

TDK our most improved this season by far - unbelievable!

 

[DEliades]

Gov in good spirits post game. Seems fine.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Dekonig, Curnow, Cincotta, Hollands, Hewitt, Williams great

. 20+ years
Curnow, that was old style centre half fwd. The palm to williams in the last, the kick to owies in the 2nd. the kick to mckay in the 1st.

Now for the concerns. Mids need to up the level.
Walsh has lost half a step, to my eye, since the back injury.
Our midfield will get towelled by the Swans mids in a final

 

[Korn]

When was the last time we had a proper shut down tagger? Cincotta is playing some great footy at the moment.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Great stuff Blues but plenty of areas to improve on.

My thoughts below

1- * do not think beating up on teams ranked 9th-18th is gonna be good enough this year !!

2- Setterfield, need to find more form & talent in the reserves

3- Langford when injured take a week off and don’t roll out against us half fit again or maybe you’re fully fit & just over rated !!

4- Don’t trust Aust Post… the Package never turned up !!
Did the AFL have tracking or sign on delivery activated…..

5-Ridley, interceptor only, do not call yourself a defender!!

6- Was Gresham a late out ??

7- **** * & Brad Scott !!

 

[The Defender]

Early, but think Cerra comes in for Carroll

And sub him out 3rd qtr

I love that the narrative is going to be that * were good enough but just kicked poorly. Keep thinking that *

Just had a read on their board and, to be fair, their supporters aren't really saying that (apart from a couple).

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Would like someone to introduce our team to long studs. Not being able to keep their feet is ordinary at this level.

It's games like this where Cripps and Walsh get well held that you should be grateful for the depth that Hewett, Kennedy and E.Hollands provide. Getting Cerra back after the bye will add yet another dimension.

Two thumbs up for TDK. Starting to come of age now.

Liked Owies game. Didn't show on the scoreboard or stats sheet but hit plenty of contests really hard.

Cowan excellent closing Martin's influence in the last quarter.

 

[Christou2Kouta]

If I could genetically engineer a player that Weiters would be guaranteed to destroy, I’d make Peter Wright.

[Baggers]

Bloody ecstatic with that.
Will take a 5 goal win against * every day of the week.
TDK, Cinc & Elijah - enormous.
GO BLUES!!!

 

[jj1978]

Old school carlton lair. Just love it. Our premiership teams have always had someone like him

He should swap numbers with Ollie as he looks more like Sticks.

 

[branedotorg]

Good to see fox is now devoting ten minutes to Jack talking about Dustin Martin...

 

[Aphrodite]

Suck pretenders/frauds

 

[CCurnow3picks]

He is utterly owning every 6’6, 106 kg, goalsquare bully.

And he’s doing it from chb.

A goddamn general.

25kegs in each leg

 

[BigBreakfast]

Fox talking about Bot as the second best defender ever for Carlton, behind SOS. Accolades for him are nice. Hard to believe he is in his 9th year.

There was this lad called Bruce though… Fair player he was.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

For the price hollands best recruit of the year only behind Grundy for mine .

Cripps and Walsh need to get on the TDK train and stop waiting for pitto to turn there game around . Hewett was sneaky good tonight and cincotta what can you say -- down in a lot of areas but controlled tempo for large periods very good win.

Good time to have bye coming off a ten day break should be full strength squad bar doc maybe cotterell after bye

Nearly ready to book my plane ticket

 

[LemmingMaster]

Kemp still a concern for me, brilliant one minute, ordinary the next

But, still on the up

I understand your concern, but what he offers on offense is amazing. They've also put him in the last line and allowing Weitering to play that more intercept marking player.

I just think he offers so much more than a Young, Durdin, Marchbank that it is worth persisting with him in the side.

 

[Matty411]

3 votes TDK and likely 10 coaches votes for that one.
2 votes Elijah goddamn Hollands
1 vote Cincotta

One for the role players, that one. They threw everything at us and still couldn't get close.

Keep focused and we'll have our own home final for the first time in forever in 2024. Maybe even #17.
