Autopsy 2024 Rd 0 - Harry kicks the winner vs Lions

[CCurnow3votes]

Great fight by the players. It shows alot of growth has happened in mindset over the last 12 months. You can have all the skills in the world but if the mindset isn't there you will never be a finals team.

First time I've seen something to work with from Carroll. Let's hope it's the beginning of something for him. I thought he added a different element to our midfield when he was in there, which I believe we need otherwise we are to easy to read

I also think that even tho he had a stinker of a game Docherty should get some credit for the second quarter turn around. He brought structure to the backline and directed everyone to their role. It calmed things dramatically

Also small shoutout to Young, he wasn't a stand-out and made some silly errors but I think he played a role and was our best Defender in the first quarter. Hopefully that builds some confidence in him. Daniher isn't an easy ask to play against

Young was solid. I thought it was his best for a while.

He has what Kemp has not - defensively.

I’d love him to stay with weiterbot .. when back in the matrix

This team is tough. Digs deep.

Polar opposite of the last 25 years...

There I was, composing a post in the game day thread, bemoaning why we had so many players who float through games, a touch here, a touch there and not much else.

I was especially looking at Cunners, and before I posted, I thought I would check out his stats. He had one disposal almost to half time. I took a screen shot, and went to upload it to my post.

But before I did, I realised so many people were climbing into the players, I really didn't want to add to the pile on, so I held off.

And suddenly Cunners went bang to start the big comeback.

And then look what happened.

Well done boys, you shouldn't need to, but you have again taught me the lessons you had taught me already:

Never give up.

I love Doc like we all do but having Carrol roll through the middle gave us a different look.Docs best position is half back and we are stacked there.I still think he’s best 23 but not sure where he fits if Voss decides to play Carrol moving forward.

Just a side note our depth is stacked.

FWIW - some of the locals were saying it was the loudest opposition crowd they’d ever heard at the Gabba!

Yep, reckon the blues fans were absolutely louder a number of times. Certainly made more noise as we were coming back

 

[Graffy4242]

That was our 2023 season condensed into one game. Go blues.

I was going to post the exact same thing!!!!! * I love this club

 

[thylacine60]

Without wanting to put ridiculous expectations on the boy, Carroll has a bit of Pendlebury about him.

 

[Neese]

Best part is that I cannot see us losing the next 4 and will probably be 5-0 the first 5 rounds.

I have never seen a win at Adelaide Oval. Hoping this year I will.

Definitely some Voss imprinting there

 

[blues4flag]

Fog. Tackling machine, and so clean at ground level. That pick up and give in the build up to Carroll's goal.

 

[ferrisb]

Credit to Orazio late too, he put on a pretty flat chat chase on some Lions bugger running out of our F50.

I was half expecting a very loud ping.

Clean up, aisle Thyne...

Carlton to finish 8th

If they can build some chemistry playing together then it allows McGovern/ Kemp to play the intercepting Defender roles u can see them being more suited to. This is what I think is Kemps ideal role because he struggles as a lock down Defender but does nice things around reading the ball and attacking.

Hopefully today gave him some big confidence and the coaching team highlight the good things he did

 

[thylacine60]

the only bad thing about tonight is that Fagan might get sacked and replaced by a competent coach.

This Brions list is so talented, with such a huge home ground advantage that anyone who isn’t a doddering old fool could win a flag.

they've lost once there since cleopatra was doing the chemist warehouse ads and missed a flag by a kick........harsh from the west.....

incredible turn around re his career. he was no doubt getting delisted before he came into the team last year, now look at him, so integral to our forward half pressure

 

[My Hat]

Fantastic win. Harry BOG for mine, looks set for a big year.

Was it just me or did Saad look like he touched that Cameron goal in the last quarter? Thought the ball deviated as it went past him, but nobody on the ground seemed to react.

And a shout out to whoever it was in the preview thread who pointed out that you generally need to score 85+ to beat Brisbane at the Gabba. Whoever you were, sir or madam, you were spot on.

 

[Accidental genius]

How good is it having footy back and we start the season with a bang!!

Cant wait til next week now

 

[TerryWallet]

What a bloody terrific effort to knock the Lions over up there. Such an important 4 points for us and no 4 points for them.

Sensational by Charlie and Harry to dob 7 snags and win us the game. It is still goals that win you games afterall.

Great confidence games by Brodie Kemp, TDK, and Jack Carroll. I love seeing young players stand up.

We are a completely different team when we get the ball quickly to the moving Saad, Williams and Gov.

Well done George for leading the midfield.

One of the best confidence building wins i've seen. We can play poorly and we can play brilliantly. Usually largely dependant on run through the corridor. We won't win every week, but by geez we're learning how to win again.

Loved the way we put through nearly every important shot at goal. None more so than the last, but not solely the last.

Very enjoyable comeback win.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'm only worried about next week at this stage. I don't like to look too far in advance.

He has another crack next week - has a naturally relaxed nature that begs a finals opportunity

 

[Revenant1965]

So many great players (special shout out to H). But what was really encouraging for me was to see the likes of Carroll, Young, Fog etc not only play a role, but to perform in the way they did. Awesome game. Great team effort. And the crowd. Special.
