Autopsy 2025 Rd 6 Blues fire on all cylinders to thrash Roos

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Went to the North board, and they weren’t even bitching about the umps. They were busy folding the club.

 

[katmanblue]

Just call me Soothsayer, Mr Soothsayer to you

Love me some Buckethead.

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Anyone else notice TDK during the song? Made me nervous

What happened? Was he singing 'Oh when the Saints' while wearing a Collingwood jumper and holding the 1966 premiership cup?

 

[katmanblue]

Knee on knee clash. Didn't look great.

On the replay it looked like it was in the middle of his shin.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Just watching now. Loving the continuation of the changes. north are shit but their pressure is good. Still love any chance they can to snipe and cause pain.

 

[Blue Reaper]

One of my very very good friends who shall remain nameless is driving the Matty Carroll bandwagon. Tickets can be purchased via #ticketchick

Salutations to your very very good friend. It’s a good wagon to drive.

 

[NavySteel]

is this some form of weird sarcasm?

Nope. He did some good things no doubt, but to my eyes at the ground on the real contest and one on one in the ruck he didn’t look like he was overly smashing Xerri. He looked ok around the ground, kicked a good goal and took a good mark. When I looked at the stats at the end and he ended with 11 possessions and 50% of the hit outs Xerri had it kind of made sense. I though it was that our mids were so hungry today, we were able to win clearance off their tap or win it back through tackle. This was the most impressive thing today, and all with smaller performances from Crippa and Walshy.

Maybe my lens is skewed because he’s basically touted as a +$1mil footballer right now and I don’t see it yet. He’s done good things in other games too and maybe he’s building up to something but it’s still just glimpses for me. Sorry if that’s an opinion against the general flow. But there you go. Carry on.

 

[BigFrizz36]

He's having a blinder of a start to the year. When people wonder why Matty Kennedy is no longer at the club, look at Hewett; they couldn't both be in this team playing midfield. Hewett's the better midfielder, I think the club made the right choice.

And picked up Harry O'Farrell as part of the process. He's going to take a bit of time but there's a lot to like there.

He's got a bit of time with the form of Jsos.

 

[NavySteel]

Absolute rubbish comment!

Maybe “destroyed” was a bit too much, but I didn’t think he had a standout game. That’s what I wanted to say. But it’s just my opinion.

 

[NavySteel]

Thought Young was very good.

He was good. Some iffy disposals but generally made the right decision. Thought it was one of his best games in blue.

 

[Blue1980]

Is Georgie Boy 1 of our top 5 this year.

TDK
Weitering
Curnow
Cripps
Hewett???

Must be close

Hed be winning our best and fairest, so yes. Walsh still building, and Harry missing so far too

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Took a nice spekky! The boys played well!

 

[NavySteel]

Took a nice spekky! The boys played well!

Yes he did! Was a beautiful full-team effort. Was just awesome!

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Norf Board Autopsy thread title - North lose to 26 man Carlton




82pt shellacking - triggered much

that's what happens when you play to scrag snipe hold etc. Cripps wasn't in the middle much but when he was you could see how annoyed he was by it. Clarko bringing the thug part of his hawthorn legacy across and none of the successful parts

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Anyone else think we look better without H?

Thought last week there was more fluency once Harry went off (unfortunately).

I thought in the second quarter especially when Charlie was resting we looked like we were seriously missing a tall to kick it to. Seriously missing one.

 

[LemmingMaster]

We really need to beat someone other than Eagles or North, but good signs.

Carroll has been a great addition to the side, we really needed a lefty with kicking skills.
White - Loved his work again, gave off a goal or two as well.
Motlop - Have to give him credit this week, really put in the hard work and was rewarded for his efforts.
Hewett is currently our most inform player, having a great year and should be leading our BnF.
JSOS - My god the shift to the D50 has been an inspired move, just looks at home and is only going to get better.

A lot happier with our front half pressure this week, that really set up the win.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Went to the North board, and they weren’t even bitching about the umps. They were busy folding the club.

I did feel we were on the better end of the umpiring all day, but certainly in the second half.

 

[North Side]

Gotta say as a player I cringe at from time to time (especially after he dropped that first mark running out of the centre to the beautiful TDK reverse tap to Motlop, who at speed kicked the almost the perfect pass to him) I digress...Young really stood up when he played within his means today. Lots of good decisions by hands in our attacking half.

Plus he immediately got the free after that dropped mark with work rate. Cheers Lewis Young

Our pressure was crazy today. By far the most satisfying factor IMHO.

Irrespective of the oppo - pressure is something you can always bring. It comes from within & isn’t a reflection of who you play.

Nobody can say - yeah the pressure was great but is was only North.

That’s something the group can take forward as a non-negotiable.

If they bring that heat every week - they can beat anyone.

Was waiting for the pressure to drop off in the second half but it didn’t, great to see it maintained for four quarters.

 

[Sonny Jim]

Took a nice spekky! The boys played well!

I so wish Motlop had of held that grab, would have definitely been a contender for Mark of the Year if he held it.
Out of nowhere too

 

[Sonny Jim]

Was really impressed with Lewis Young

today, too.
I've been quite critical of him up until this year but this season he's really starting to believe in himself and just how far he can go and I'm happily eating my own words.
Well done mate, great game today

 

[GoBlues!]

On the replay it looked like it was in the middle of his shin.

Knee to Weiters shin.

North players literally taking the shinboner spirit too far ffs…

 

[Uncle Fester]

There must have been another game in an alternate universe as TDK had Xerri's number today.

It was an interesting battle. They both had highs and lows

 

[Skull Face]

Much better win than last week, the real test begins now to see if the confidence gained can follow through into tougher games

 

[WalshYouLegend]

I’m very disappointed…..
