Autopsy 2025 Round 18 Lions by 37. Poor skills and lack of class

[jj1978]

I think Brisbane have had the best list for 4 years now and gets better every year.

They really should be flag favourites.

Challenging run home for them but what an outfit when they get focused.

They play Dogs, Suns, Pies and Hawks and Dockers in Perth.

I reckon I’ll watch all of them just to see what they’re capable of.

I hope they bury the Pies.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

I've completely lost interest in watching these efforts. Has Charlie just simply given up?

Were you watching?

He was better this game.

A few skill errors but competed well.

 

[RedFury]

Voss next week:

Out: Cowan, HOF, Moir
In: Acres (after doing nothing to earn it) plus 2 more kids he dropped just last week.

 

[Kernafides]

Cripps good, Hewett great, cow great......moir was not good failed to do his job......tdk abysmal......defensive transition awful.....everytime we turned it over they scored.....coughed up the corridor

 

[Blue__Balls]

Where?

Just before he kicks, that's why it goes 40m left.

 

[BlueLocke]

Need to fix our goal kicking yips because we sure as shit can’t defend the length of the ground during opposition kick-ins.

 

[The Coach]

Carroll made some mistakes tonight but he also did some pretty good things.

Development is not linear but I do think we have some decent young players for the next generation.

10+ new players this year is a record I think?

Carrol can be a player for us - just not sure it is as a backman. He really should have his peripheral vision checked as that first sack was by a guy barely to his left.

 

[The Dochs in]

After watching tonight I think we should build Voss a statue. How we have won any games with the skills we have is a modern day miracle.

 

[agro]

Sssshhhhhhhhh!!!
Jesus!

Someone said he done a hamstring in game day thread

 

[chuncey]

I hate singling out players (and when we are this bad it’s probably unfair) BUT how does Fogarty get a game every week?

He reminds me of me when I played footy. Rarely got it and couldn’t do anything with it when it fell in my lap.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Cowan probably be my next favourite player when Cripps retire.

 

[Wickzki]

Motlop has really turned a corner

My fear for Mots is that he's taken on a lot of the bad attitudes from the older players in the team. A lot of his efforts are half efforts, inconsistent.

Has more ability than what many here will give him credit for but needs to pull his finger out if he wants to be a long term Carlton footballer or an AFL player as a whole.

 

[jj1978]

Durdin, Fog, Motlop the worst small forward trio ever.
Cripps, Hewett, Cerra the slowest midfield trio ever.
Team - the worst tackling side ever, and collectively lowest footy IQ.

 

[RedFury]

Probably hot take: lack of quality options when disposing of the ball is playing almost as much a factor in turnovers as poor disposal is.

 

[agro]

I think we should bring in Levi Casboult

[TENACIOUS]

Oh well, as expected.

The whole club is cooked. Geez I hope we make the right football department and player decisions at the end of the year.

I’d rather blow the list up and create hope, then continue under the illusion we’re good enough..

Their problem is keeping focus.

Hope they tear Oldiewood a new one.

 

[reg_lower91]

We've had 17 quarters this year where we've kicked 0 or 1 goals.

Average of 1 quarter a match.

10 consecutive matches where it's occurred.

Summarises how insipid this club has become.

Back the youth in for the remainder of the year - there is literally nothing else to salvage at this point.
We wont win another game regardless.
We don't even have attendances to protect.
Set us up for some future success And solely focus on playing the kids.

This ^^^

 

[Blue By Blood]

Motlop is a midfielder who can push forward. Whether he’s good enough to do that at AFL level is debatable, but that’s his go. He is not a small forward.

Yep. Same with Durdin- he's a midfielder in a small forwards body. And that's what I take issue with.. our recruitment of small forwards has been terrible. We've turned it into a numbers game rather than just drafting a natural one. Draft or trade for a genuine and natural small forward or two. Those two are our best that we have to keep but they aren't natural small forwards.

Fogarty I've seen enough. Can't be keeping a guy who's just a defensive 'small forward' who can't kick goals from 15 metres out. Evans won't survive the cull. White probably likewise. Fantasia too injury prone. We have to keep Mots and Durdin but boy oh boy are we still crying out for a natural, classy, zippy, well skilled small forward who gets front and centre at the ball drop and hits the pack at speed.

 

[jackn]

There are a few positives - Cowan, HOF and Moir.

Which one makes way for acres next week? Or will it be young?

 

[BlueBlood15]

More of the same. Expected nothing more or less. Counting down the days until August 15. HOF and Cowan both good. Not much else to write home about.

 

[Blues2013]

I think we should bring in Levi Casboult as a Goal Kicking coach.

Fev!

 

[bigblueboy]

Motlop has really turned a corner

Nope. trade material at best.

 

[The Coach]

Motlop is a midfielder who can push forward. Whether he’s good enough to do that at AFL level is debatable, but that’s his go. He is not a small forward.

Has not got the work ethic for it. He still chooses whether he wants to chase that opposition player that just ran past him - he then appears to do a lot of chasing because he did not chase hard after that first runner
