Autopsy 2023 Round 1 DRAW. Ugly Blues still can't close out games

[gunslingr]

Opted to kick to a contest instead of an open man. Dumb footballer.

You saw a few open men within 50 metres?

 

[HyphensBack]

I thought Ed was good, provided some grunt and run

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Buckley is right.

We should have lost by four goals and didn't.

Defence was great.

Attack, not so much.

Buckley has been extremely negative about carlton all preseason so no big surprises there.

 

[reubsblues]

Fisher and Silvagni literally got all the possession and goals in the first qrt
And literally didn't absolutely nothing for the rest of the game

has to be the most over hyped player in the history of the game his should be delisted immediately

 

[Wickzki]

LOB, you are not a rookie anymore. It’s your job to hit a target there! Control, patience ffs

Hard to hit a target when your teammate constantly loses his footing.

What boots is H wearing? Never seen a player lose his footing more than H.

 

[Bostonian]

McKay needed to trust LOB to hit him there, or Motlop needed to hold it up. Both scenarios = Carlton win.

Good game regardless, I’m not devastated but I am frustrated.

We’ve found one in Cowan. Hollands is a running machine and will do better in smaller games when there isn’t 90k screaming fans.

The great?
Hewett, Harry, Cripps, Doc, Young

The good?
Charlie, Motlop, Gov, Weiters, Saad, Newman

The bad?
Fisher, Martin, Owies

Lots to like, lots to work on too.

+2 is better than 0

Cripps didn't turn up until the last quarter. Not great at all.

Saad and McGovern were terrible tonight.

 

[BigBreakfast]

The target fell and he still hit it

Rubbish. Too many bounces, easy to hold off and reverse. Opportunity lost, LOB not the only reason, just the most pertinent. Acres marks and it’s a win too.

 

[SBYM]

Buckley has been extremely negative about carlton all preseason so no big surprises there.

He was giving us a pat on the back.

 

[Milsome]

Lobs done. Seriously he will never ever make it. Trade to stkilda

He hit the target. Harry fell over and he still hit him!

 

[HyphensBack]

I don’t like our strategy to allow them to kick it 20-30m repeatedly, it might be buying us time to get back but it didn’t cause we didn’t. Stop the easy outs

 

[Beer n Skittles]

It appears we achieved absolutely nothing in the off season other than somehow making a worse game plan.



Diabolical.

Nah last year we’d have lost that. Incremental improvement

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Very lucky not to lose, when you are down the inside 50 count by +21

We chased tail all night did well to be in IMO

 

[Wickzki]

Buckley has been extremely negative about carlton all preseason so no big surprises there.

I think that what he said was actually complimentary. To play like s**t and not lose (despite the choke goal) is a positive sign.

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

Geez the melt downs on here are embarrassing, calm the * down!! We didn’t play well but 2 points is better than none and it’s round 1 whether we won or not there’s a lot of work and growth to do!!

 

[jj1978]

Why do we have Jack Martin in our team?
Remind me.

Enigma or has the match committee orgy photos.

 

[gunslingr]

What. Was. LOB. Thinking. Needed to kick 1-2 bounces earlier. Harry was out. FAAAARRRRRR OOUUUTTTT

I feel there's more chance you were at the game than some of the other posters for some reason (and can therefore back up the "FAAARR OOOUUTT"), but I will say LOB didn't exactly have great control of the ball moments before he actually kicked it

 

[jj1978]

What a shot show. Acres? Hear footsteps? Pussy!

Now the trade value makes sense.

 

[morningbrown]

Buckley has been extremely negative about carlton all preseason so no big surprises there.

After the crap we served up tonight do you blame him?

 

[Benaly28]

You can say all you want about how stupid we were tonight and coughed it up again.

Inside 50’s 66-45.

It’s the right result on the whole game.

Now onto the players who should never put on a Carlton guernsey again.

Martin/Owies.

Now onto tonight’s dumb players:
McGovern/LOB/Acres/Saad

Brutal but true.

Plenty of teams win games they don’t deserve because they’re not filled with fragile peanuts.

I know. But we are, so I guess we take the 2 points.

’s last marking contest was deplorable. Saad autocorrects to sad. Appropriate.

 

[Blue4Life]

Didn’t realize acres was playing till he dropped the chest mark on his own and blew our last chance at winning the game

 

[Foucault1989]

Buckley has been extremely negative about carlton all preseason so no big surprises there.

Agreed Buckley can get fudged.

 

[Fabab]

Garbage,same bombing the ball in and it goes to ground we are nowhere to be seen.
Owies not good enough to play afl imo,Young looked good and if umpires paid the frees to charlie we win.

 

[Bostonian]

It's like there is a competition going on here to see who can make the biggest over reaction.

In the pre game thread there were so many going on about how good the tigers were. They were $1.60 favorites. We should have won but we didn't lose.

No one tonight is the worst player in the league. Surely everyone knows that we'll get better than tonight.

P.S. BOLTON IS THE BIGGEST DUCKER IN THE LEAGUE.

So explain to us all what our game plan is then...
