Autopsy Rd 2 Blues up for the fight but still lose to Port by 16 points

[FRUMPY]

Just gotta hope we bring this effort to a game against swans, sun's, saints, bombers, dogs etc. Games we could or should really win if we play well.

You must have been watching a different game to the rest of us.

Always does [emoji849]

Ya know Cripps made as many mistakes as Murphy, he just handballs more so it doesn't look as bad.

You're taking the piss right?

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Anyone saying Murphy should be dropped can go wash your dirty mouth out. Not happening, nor does he actually deserve it. Plenty of runs on the board.

Runs on the board count for little in the here and now.

 

[FRUMPY]

I like the progress we've made but the trend is we keep getting killed on the rebound.

The moment the ball is turned over we look lost.
Need to fix that.

Wietering solid today. Liked SPS too.

Port look strong this year.
Let's beat Sydney

Football 2019 it's called

Cripps is a bit bigger and a lot slower mate.

Bigger yes...but slower?

 

[Blue and Blue]

Do you mean the margin that came about as a result of the momentum shift which came about as result of his missed goal in the 2nd?

No I mean give it a rest mate..your just wrong.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

I don't believe gibbons should be dropped. i just said he's being dropped before Murphy

Below are each players stats averaged across both games this year.

Murphy
.5 Goals, 27 Disposals, 3 Marks, 1 Tackle

Gibbons
0 Goals, 13 Disposals, 2 Marks, 4 Tackles

That is the dumbest and shallowest comparison I've seen. Cbf arguing with you anymore. Those players play completely. Different roles in the team and you've ignored efficiency and all sorts of things. On current form, Murphy is being dropped first. If either are.

 

[BeligerentBlue]

I’m interested to hear from the Polson haters this week.

4 goal assists, 1 goal and a great chase down tackle.


Murphy on the other hand, 4 crucial turnovers in the last quarter when the game was in the balance.

I was already upset with murph for nearly getting cripps killed with a pop kick last week. I don't know what is wrong, should be our cleverest at this point.

 

[Wily trout]

Killed at the stoppages, backline did well, umps shit yet again

This sentence reads very funnily if you imagine your avatar is saying it!

This has been our best start to a season for quite a few years according to the squiggle.

Straight up the guts two weeks in a row. We are a huge chance against Sydney this week. Reckon we will build during the year as 3rd and 4th year players keep making big improvements.

 

[Moody Blue]

Loved Weitering, Harry and SPS.

Liked McGovern and Plowman.

Hated Phillips and Murphy.

Phillips is a witches hat. Better off playing another mid in the square and sacrifice the hit out.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Polson is not AFL standard; not a forward, not midfielder, not a tagger. Should not play another AFL game this year unless injuries dictate his availability as absolutely necessary.

4 goal assists and a goal. C’arn.

 

[Colonel_Klink]

We must remember too that we were down a few good players. I believe we have the team now.

 

[TheCoach16]

No reason why we cant beat Sydney next week.

No reason we should’ve lost today or last week either...

We’ll play some good footy for two quarters, and we’ll get done again.

We are a good side! We have a good team. They just refuse to play four quarters. Simple.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Not our best side out there but again we pushed a team that didnt expect to be pushed.
Go Blues.

Runs on the board means sweet f all if he's actively causing a negative impact to the team's chances of winning.

 

[manureid]

Well done today. Cripps is amazing. Hope to see you take a few scalps now.

 

[juzza316]

Runs on the board count for little in the here and now.

He was poor, but not going to get dropped. His runs on the board count for those that actually matter, eg the coaching staff.

 

[Nori]

Really pleased they didn’t risk Charlie after the Knee. Last year he might have gone back on and ended up with a serious injury.

 

[Sir Crippington]

All players make mistakes, but why does it seem Murphy's mistakes are more costly than others?

Because they usually are.

 

[4thchicken]

Lost the game because we got hammered in the ruck/clearances - Phillips shows ability on occasion but clearly not enough.

Positives
SPS - most pleasing thing is that he is a lot more attacking with his kicks/gameplay this year than in previous.
Walsh - another game, another 20+ possessions. Will hit 30 possessions a few times this year
McKay - excellent hands. Showing some great signs
Weitering - starting to consistently deliver upon his promise
Other positives - cripps/jones/mcgovern/Thomas

 

[ForYouBlue]

The gov is a character that's for sure. Love him already.

It's obvious we are on the up, but losses never feel easier.

Umpires mother's won't look them in the eye.

Fingers crossed for Charles.

Ed struggling in forwardline and Murph struggling in the middle... Surely that was an easy decision...

 

[HBF]

Tonight should also serve as a lesson to anyone who thinks our midfield doesn’t need Coniglio or Kelly.

We do need to bat deeper in the midfield no doubt. Too much is left to Cripps.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I miss Kreuzer.
