Autopsy 2025 Rd 24 Blues win but this won't be going in the time capsule

[gunslingr]

We lost a pressure rating percentage point since the game finished! Both teams were on 165 when the stats flashed up straight after the game and now we’re 164

 

[RudyBlue]

Not sure but the ability doesn't come out of thin air. If he keeps up the hard work, should be a regular.

Some genuine forward half class demonstrated.

Can he do it in a high pressure game would be the question

 

[SolGoodman]

Look at our boys

The 15m rule is an absolute shocker.
Earlier in the game, there were 2 kicks in a row that looked identical. One was called not 15, the other a mark.
I think it was the last chain of play from Don's kick in, the player kicked it about 10-12m from the corner of the square and it was paid a mark.

Is Frankie a flash in the pan or something to look forward to?

He was on two pretty good lists and he’s probably just shown patches but unable to get long enough game time.

He wasn’t exactly tearing it up for us for most of the season.

I’m pretty sure its clicked for him.

 

[Dramoth]

I like the run and gun we had tonight. Essendon didn't really show up. Some of the fringe players were very good. All of the young guys did us well.

The future looks good... even if we lose TDK and JSOS.

 

[The Return of the Paf]

An extremely meh game salvaged by Frank the tank masterclass and Billy and Flynns best games for the club.

Been a year to forget, but the youth have us believing.

Believing what?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Tell you what.

If the Dogs, Suns and Swans all get done for drug cheating in the next week, we could do some real damage in finals.

Is this a #blumour

The last month of footy.

Best small forward in the comp? Could argue

 

[gunslingr]

Awww, straight after a full game and Hewett is playing kick to kick in the rooms with (I assume) his son

 

[DangerousD]

First time I’ve watched F Young play and thought he belongs at the level, a great game for the lad to finish the year with.

This and the advantage (often what advantage?) are doing my head in this year.

Believing what?

We're not a hopeless footy club, I promise ya.

Big change is needed, but our youth is a hell of a lot better than we thought at the start of the season.

 

[YeoShuey]

Moooo for the poll.

Bye TDK. Thanks for everything.

 

[Moon]

TDK looks like he's struggling to hold back the tears ... not a good sign.

Blimey ... even Motlop had a pretty good one. You won't hear that from me too often.

Well done lads ... a Wins a Win.

Exciting times ahead

Since the calm & rational meeting I’ve enjoyed watching us play.

Vossy stuck with youth & we’re getting results.

We could have gone down the path of playing half injured money players, which never ends well.

Guys like Moir, Young, Carroll, HOK, Wilson, Young & White, there’s talent there.

Put Lord on the Ricky Mott post season diet, he’ll be good too.

HOF & Jagga we’ll hopefully see more of & we get the big names going again, we’re going alright.

No complaints here.

Just about to turn 24 and only played, ironically, the 44 games. Could be one of those slower burn types.

Quarter 3: Fox shows the stat that Carlton is a younger team than Essendon. Quarter 4: Fox put up some slobbering graphics tribute to the Baby Bombers.

Well done to the young blokes for making the past six weeks vaguely enjoyable. I’ve seen something to like in all of them.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Q. Has there ever been a player in history to be forward line coach and goal kicking coach and plays each week?

A. Frank.

 

[btdg]

Really nice to finish on a good note. Tough to back up for round 23 on a 5 day break and they got the job done well.

Only two teams can say they finished 2024 with two straight wins - Brisbane and Collingwood. It's likely only two teams will be able to say the same this year - us, and whoever wins the premiership.

Some nice performances right across the team too. If nothing else we have found a few this year. Hollands and Cowan looked great off half back. Evans and Young as older options brought something to the table. Motlop emerging. Carroll, Cowan, O'Keefe, Moir and even Wilson look like they can belong out there.

To have blooded that much youth and still end up 11th is really nice.

 

[AB_Blue]

Frankie Evans field kicking and kicking for goal is unreal

Agree since they backed vossy everything has felt calmer
