Autopsy 2025 Rd 23 Blues power on to their best performance of the year

[T2B_]

Just realised Harry also had 21 touches which is a career high

 

[LanceRomance]

Gonna be hard to bag out Ollie this week

Ollie has been fantastic the second half of this year.

No tackles today.. which screwed my multi but a Carlton win makes up for it

 

[Blues2013]

Said it in the match day thread at quarter time and saying it again now… yes Port is sh!t etc however our performance today highlights our problems are psychological. When the pressure is off and we play freely we are a different outfit.

We need to seriously focus on sports psychology in the off season. That along with our young crop and its blue skies

 

[Accidental genius]

Let’s hope this year was the disaster year we needed to have …

And go hard next season

Regardless of the quality of the opposition, this performance is going to fill him with confidence, a good thing going into the pre-season.

Lots to like today in what at times felt like a pre-season game.

Austin and Co have done a great job injecting some talented kids into the list.
HOK, Cowan, Lord, Moir, Carroll, HOF etc.

Francis Evans is our best small forward which is both great and depressing

Felt like we reverted back to the 2023 game style. Our transition defence was horrendous.

Nice to get a win for some confidence

Been our best player this year, people are dumb.

 

[Dramoth]

Nick Haynes only 33 years young

He could go another season easily imo.

He's definitely done enough to get another season. Started off shaky, but had really settled into his stride.

 

[Blue and Silver]

So Frankie Evans is out second best small forward then?

Reckon he should go for LeBron numbers

That was the way the VFL side plays. I think that we might be seeing our future game plan.

 

[BluStreak]

We have some real exciting young talent.
Lord
Cowan
Evans
Carroll
2x Hollands
HOK
HOF
Carroll
Young
Moir

Bring in some top talent in this years off season and play with the game plan today, with spirit and freedom. Then it’s going to be an exciting year in 2026.

too true TENACIOUS, soapy has been banging on about them all year.

I wonder if we’ve got an interesting dilemma in that area - a fair few players over recent years have highlighted the club psych as a really positive aspect of the club, but it’s not uncommon for people to think more highly of a therapist who’s on the same wavelength than someone who challenges them

(Zero clue of the truth within the 4 walls of the club)

who is our best?

Absolutely agree.

 

[gunslingr]

who is our best?

Also Frankie Evans

Play long enough and people will start calling him the goat, purely because of not retiring.

TrAde HaRrY aNd WaLsHy ….

Good clubs don’t trade away their best players, the build and add around them.

Game style and the way we played and moved the ball was so much better despite the opposition. Something to build on.

Great day for me, my other passion Liverpool won this morning and now the Baggers this afternoon!!

Working tonight so had to leave at half time, but the first half was lots of fun. Loved the endeavour from most. Loved the young guys contributions. Loved Sam Walsh

. Best game he's played since the finals run. I was worried whether he'd ever get back there but today he looked quicker than he has since then. No reason he can't be even better than he was.

Trade. Too many to keep

 

[Rustica]

Walsh is elite

His ability to get out in front of the contest and out of one is top notch
