Autopsy 2025 Round 5 Blues 121-50 Pressure valve released

[Arr0w]

This is the same boat I’m in. Can acknowledge that there were things that won’t fly against better teams, but also be stoked with a good performance, no matter the opposition

I prefer similar, others want to focus on agendas, youth first, etc which is fine too, until it's an attempt to drown out varied opinions

 

[Doro]

The difference between fit Walsh and struggle Walsh is the width of the grand canyon. Transforms our midfield. Carroll looked at home at the level. Match practice intensity but good to build a little confidence.

 

[BlueLocke]

Dragged out to the Norf game by the better half today and missed it - still yet to see a bloody win at Adelaide Oval.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Almost all our players got a lick today, but almost all of them had concerning moments which could bring a different outcome against better sides

I'm pragmatic, never too high or low, I don't call for people to be sacked, nor do I erect statues

4 points boost in %, season still alive, currently

I reckon the likes of Jesse Motlop , Cotts and little Durds all feel better about their seasons tonight. Also Will White and Jeff Carroll are thinking that maybe they have careers in this game. That's today's take outs for me

 

[Stamos]

Did the same against them last year then went quiet. He can play, we saw that in 2022. We really need him to get back to that.

By “then went quiet” did you mean to type “dislocated his shoulder“?

 

[Accidental genius]

Ok so….

Matt Carroll is the same person as Jeff Carroll

Apparently fell asleep in a team meeting. Wiggles related.

 

[RedFury]

Lowered the eyes very well today going into the forward line. Didn’t always come off but a lot better signs.

This won't be a well-liked comment but oh well.

One of our big issues this year is composure under pressure. Today there was very little pressure, so players didn't feel rushed and could lower the eyes.

When we play a team that brings serious heat, don't be too surprised or disappointed when the dumb dump kicks return.

I'll take and enjoy the win but at this stage I don't think it tells us much. West Coast were awful.

 

[Bluella]

Jsos is Weitering mini-me.

He’s like a fiddle leaf fig - not to be moved.

See this is the value add I come here for - is the fiddle leaf fig toxic to cats?

Happy with the win but under no illusions that we still have a lot of work to do. Good that the penny has dropped that when Charlie is double teamed we don't constantly kick it to him - Little Durds did his job well to make that work.

[Beyond Blue]

Does that mean Young to defense….

No SOS should stay in the backline. If Kemp is done for the year then we should move Gov forward. I’m not nearly as down on Haynes as other are so I think he can comfortably hold down a backline spot next to Jsos and Weitering. Up forward it’s Young, Charlie and Gov until Harry is back and then it’s Harry, Charlie and Gov. I don’t want Young or Gov anywhere near the back line on a permanent basis.

 

[Coops93]

We're 1-4 and have a percentage of 103.6%

Seriously though, it does show that we haven't been TOO far off the pace in our losses.

If you account for bad goal kicking and go by expected scores we even have a winning record.

But, bad goal kicking is bad football so it's no excuse.

 

[The Bighouse]

I also saw Fogarty in the middle on occasions. Another option for bringing a bit more midfield pace.

Pace….?

 

[Blue Heart]

Just watching the replay and if we could kick, we would be a lock for the finals possibly top 4.

 

[Dramoth]

What about Carroll to a wing down the track, has the foot skills to help with F50 connections, better than Acres by foot!!

I could see that. Has a laser sight attached to his left peg. I reckon that Ollie is getting better playing off the HBF. He’s also starting to stick tackles now.

 

[RAPPA]

Just watching the replay and if we could kick, consistently apply pressure, stick tackles, hit targets and run both ways, we would be a lock for the finals possibly top 4.

Fixed it for you

Does that mean Young to defense….

No I think Lewis Young played his best football in attack this year and relieving in the ruck.

Definitely need Young’s flexibility and big body up forward to replace McKay and Kemp.

 

[jj1978]

I'm convinced that the pressure rating thing is just a figure made up by the work experience kid who sits at the back of the stats box and guesses based on the "vibe" of the game.

They definitely have a work experience kid transcribing by hand all the comms during a game. So wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

No I think Lewis Young played his best football in attack this year and relieving in the ruck.

There was a moment vs dogs I think, when Young marked at 55 out & stopped himself.

His issue is belief - has a big upside if he can start believing.

he should take a leaf out of that ant’s book with high hopes, it work for Rocky Balboa in his comeback fight.

Indeed.

I’m OK if he becomes delusional.

Absolutely this

I could have played AFL if it wasn’t for opposition pressure

 

[SolGoodman]

Taking a moment to appreciate what a season Georgey is having. Phenomenally consistent.

I saw that too.
I bet they were talking about defence! LOL

Such a smart, competitive player, still a best 22 lock
