Autopsy Autopsy vs Carlton - absolutely bashed the shit out of the Blues

[Flawed Genius]

Powell exceptional when it was hot

Giant efforts from Parker Xerri LDU Simpkin Darling Pink Kerch Fisher Sheezel Daniel

Great win. GREAT win. Completely shut them down for three quarters, gave them absolutely nothing through the corridor and hurt them really badly going forward.

The signs are so ****en grouse for the future.

Are we really young tho? I keep hearing this narrative but looking at the team's average age and average games played reads differently.

Look at median age.

 

[Jonnoo]

I’m taking quarters 2 and 3 as a positive and moving on pretty happy

Who cares? Collingwood are ancient and might win the flag. Just win, that’s what’s important.

 

[Elite Master]

4.5 wins for the year. When was the last time we had that? Best wooden spoon side ever year right?

The good old days of 2021.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

We won that and should have been dead rubber in the last quarter. The fourth quarter we need to know the opposition will come out firing and you need to blunt it and counter attack. We did the first but during the first part of the last quarter but chipped it around instead of countering.

 

[Caracas]

Come on. Get around our guys. 5 effing years!!!
P.S. I’m moving nowhere. I’m rewatching that for the rest of the weekend. Our backline is back in the game.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Not overly concerned about that 4th quarter fade out.

Young team, coming back from a long Perth road-trip...

Pleased with the win. Pleased with the football we played for 2.5 quarters.

Carlton are shit.

I think Clarko was looking a bit annoyed because he knows Carlton were also coming back from Perth, so there was really no disadvantage in that regard.

The blowing of big leads is a stink that was instilled in the Brad days. It's in our culture and we need to fix it asap.

 

[zoomba23]

Not sure what you mean.
I’m asking when was the last time we had that many wins? I think it was the year we were declared the best wooden spoon side ever

My bad. Misinterpreted

 

[jaxsyn]

Four and a half wins

A game off 13th.

 

[Flawed Genius]

What a miserable bunch of arseholes you lot are.

Haven't beaten this lot since 2021, even longer since it's been on the G. All the young players showed stacks, we put the Blues to the sword physically and mentally for three quarters, and continued the form we've showed over the last two and a bit months to get a W. Casual 93 point turnaround from GF too.

And it's all misery and mewling in here. Oh we should have won by more. Greedy bastards

Carlton were only in Perth for 36 hours.

We were there for 10 days.

Makes a difference.

 

[Disco Dew]

Remember these blue campaigners have pantsed us in recent meetings.

 

[tricknologist]

I felt a letdown was coming in the final quarter given how physical we'd played up until that point + a lot of the players were probably too in their own heads about choking the lead. I just didn't expect it to be such a poor effort with us failing to score even once. It was disappointing, but the game was a step forward nonetheless, especially after what Carlton did to us earlier in the season.

 

[Makeshift Park]

It was one of our two most surprising wins in 2025, and yet that last quarter was one of the 10 worst I've seen us play this year.

I think we're absolutely entitled to want more.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

**** the sad sacks in this thread get around it boys a win against the blues! Enjoy what we’ve got not what we could have!

 

[Dinkers]

Oh that was a brilliant win, yes Carlton are shite.
But let's be honest we need to crawl before we can walk, then run for 4 quarters.

But was hoping to start the autopsy - Clarko's campaigners.

We hit hard, we fall on our opponents, we're clumsy and our intent is to hurt, and about ****en time. AFL shouldn't be a place for softcocks.

We're getting ever so closer.


The end

 

[Ichiro #51]

Great middle 2 quarters. The best we’ve played for god knows how long.

But that last quarter will haunt us. It was that bad.

 

[Flawed Genius]

How goods McKercher thrashing it through the top of 50 and lacing em through. Oh but he's a cat and no good and should be traded

How goods Powell conducting a symphony in the third and destroying a high powered Blues midfield. Oh. But drop him for Phillips for some reason

How goods Darling playing through a gash on his shin, laying run down tackles and shifting the momentum. Nah no good let's drop him too

 

[Roosurgence]

**** me Clarko teach these guys to win, not shut a quarter down from the start and give the opposition a sniff.

****ing dogshit cocahing.

Any thoughts on the coaching that had us 46pts up at 3/4 time?

 

[speedy]

Only this team could sap the enjoyment out of that. **** right off.

 

[JGreezy]

We're on 18 points but we've been so close to grabbing a couple more and being on 24+ points and being in that 10th-12th range on the ladder.

Our performance is definitely on the improve. You can a path to the top 8 next year with more development from the youngsters.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Toby Pink goes alright.
Tom Powell apparently no good at footy?
We made them hurt. Hard hits & tackles.Few sore Carlton boys tonight.
We had that buffer for the last quarter because we dominated the two before it, 9 goals to 3.
Chom a warrior, but needs a break (from footy, not another bone).
Darling & Parker have been imortant additions (ala Luke Hodge helping set up Brisbane’s rebuild).
Wish we had more games at the G.

Still no improvement? I’m sure at least a couple of the usual suspects here will say this win is still not real progress. Still going on with that? Or can you see we actually are better than last year? You know who you are.

Go Roos!

 

[Hojuman]

Is Curtis the only player who gets penalised for tackling too god-damned hard ?
