Autopsy 2025 Rd 9 Injury plagued Blues defeat Saints

[BlueLocke]

Thought Weitering was, by his standards, a bit off (despite the 10 marks).

That’s why you love having Silvagni and Haynes though, it’s actuallly a layered backline in 2025.

TDK should Re-sign with you guys tomorrow no amount of money would make me want to play under Ross Lyon

 

[branedotorg]

I am buzzing. That was grit. Things went against us everywhere, and we still held it together and worked for each other.

Chalk and cheese between our effort this week compared to last week.

I remember many games where umpiring went against us and the team would start second guessing, overthinking and losing.

We didn't let a very poor umpiring night get inside out heads.

More please

The second half was a bit dull but tonight seemed like the first time in a long time the players seemed to know exactly what to do.

It was as well executed plan.

You lean back.

Puff the air out.

Take a notch off the belt,

Great game. We had it won early, then had to completely change structure due to injury, had to knuckle down and held on

There is something about this team I don't remember seeing in a Carlton squad in 20-odd years.

Dare I say it, I think we are well coached. Our defence is rock solid. We moved the ball well. We can play fast and chaotic or slow and calm and seem to have good game sense. Our center clearances are chefs kiss. We never seem to give up last minute goals. We have held leads comfortably late against both Geelong and St Kilda. We actually held on after losing 4 players to injury.

It's not a premiership team, clearly. Too many young guys and not quite enough depth. But it could be the team before the team, if that makes sense. A mid table team with flaws that adds a piece or two, has a couple of young guys find their feet, and challenges seriously next year or the year after...

 

[myblueroan]

jack silvagni has to be the most improved player of the year.

Good possie for him. Duck to water.

 

[Dramoth]

Thanks Blues, and thanks Tim Lane and 5AA for giving me some balanced coverage.

Tim is still calling games? He retired didn't he?

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Fancy a Silvagni dominating in defense for the Blues.

I don’t know if Jaxon Binns will make it, but he gut runned the whole game. He lacks composure, but we need to persist.

His tank was likely pretty important for this game given what transpired.

They all have their flaws but him, Blacres, Ollie, Walsh etc all run all day which must have been critical.

Seems Mots may have more of a tank than I thought. With everyone slowing down late, he was able to put the pedal down a bit and was very handy.

Beggars belief!

Did I miss any horsey

Putrid players.

 

[Mondyboy]

I don’t think so. He’s a depth player at best and I only ever see him getting a look when the cupboard is bare.

You simply cannot pick players who are that bad with ball in hand.

Nice goal though.

I doubt he gets dropped after that game. But you may be right. His disposal is very hit miss and he struggles to lay a tackle. And, yes, he made more than one error. But he kicked a goal, nearly kicked a second and never dropped his head.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Cripps is he injured?

Ross hard tags him with Steele every time. Steele's very strong actually a good mu for cripps

Enjoying this Elijah interview, 6 minutes for the time trial.

I just try and bring workrate, it's a variable I can control.

 

[Chism]

He was quiet tonight but Elijah Hollands is really important to us and we just win he plays.


TDK to me is already gone and just going through the motions.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Another grind. This style won’t get us anywhere in the competition. Nice to beat the saints but it’s nothing to cheer about really. Ross played into our hands making it a stoppage game. Pretty stupid.

From their Autopsy thread

Thought we were probably the better team
On the night. Just butchered it at the wrong time and they had 4 dodgey free kicks that resulted in goals. They won’t achieve anything

So many classics in their Preview & Autopsy threads

I did not know Lij had massive Hollywood teeth.

Good possie for him. Duck to water.

Once he realised it’s okay to be compared to your dad. Getting married matured him a bit.

Man, they were kissed on the you know what all night, they're in fantasy land

 

[Dramoth]

Both his shoulders are stuffed don’t think he’ll be resting as it is what it is. They’ll just keep popping them in with a jab for the rest of the season.

At the end of the year send him off to the same doctor that fixed 1AW's shoulders... if the guy is still practicing.

 

[jj1978]

6 min 2km and Binns does it faster? Binns looked awfully slow of foot.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

He was absolutely terrible in the second half

Wouldn't have won without freak aerobic guys like acres and Binns today. Their off ball running was bloody insanity.
