Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 8 - Blues v Pies Fri May 3rd 7:40pm AEST (MCG)

[Chief]

Right: Unless it's a bad one against Carlton, I don't wanna hear constant whinging about umpiring from you lot!

 

[Corn Cobbers]

We won 11-13 games after that tanty.

Sometimes a tanty is necessary

Charlie to fill his boots.

Facts. These Geelong theatre goers wouldn't know passion if it sold them a $1 block of land on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Assuming Cerra, Cuningham and Fantasia return, you're only missing McGovern, Motlop, Martin, Fogarty and Saad from your best possible team in 2024, it's really not that crippling especially when you've got 2 Coleman medallists, a Brownlow medallist, Ayres medallist and AA squad full back ALL in career-best form

Wouldn't even put Martin in the conversation. He is not in Carltons best 22 . Can collingwood please take him off our books ?

 

[Worm4]

Are Collingwood treating this week's game as a bye , managing a few of their star players ? Asking for a friend

 

[Chief]

 

[No SPIN]

You need the soldiers to compliment the star players, heck you guys were even saying that Frampton played his part in your GF win last season.

Ask Fagan what he thought of Frampton's game - I'm tipping he'd say it made a huge difference to undermining their prospects.

 

[No SPIN]

Well kinda, yeah.

When we have a full list to choose from or close to it I'd back us to be competitive with anyone, but I think the very best teams still bat a fair bit deeper than we do and have better capacity to cover injuries. Case in point with our issues in defence at the moment - Saad, McGovern and Doc out, thats half our absolute walk-up start backline and we just aren't good/deep enough to cover that yet.

you had a full list against Coll in RD 10 last year and lost.

 

[No SPIN]

Carlton based on form should win this by about 2-3 goals. Collingwood's midfield is their weak point and that's Carlton's strength. Unlike Geelong, Collingwood have been quite average defensively this year. Since Carlton are one of the best front half teams this year, it should result in Carlton dominating territory and ultimately winning the game.

Although Collingwood punish turnovers quite heavily so Carlton better limit them if they want the 4 points.

I suggest you listen to a podcast of Hoyne on SEN last night.
He said Geel are ranked 1 on Champion Data for scoring from turnover which was the reason they beat Carl - on the same stat Coll is ranked 3.
Coll is ranked 6 for defending turnover Carl ranked 13.
Geel lost clearances but stopped Carl from getting pure clearances, on most occasion thereby nullifying the advantage.

we don't want downhill skiers.

If you read what I'm talking about that's what I'm saying, you need your soldiers.

 

[Robertio]

we don't want downhill skiers.

You gave a 1st & 2nd round pick for one last year.

 

[bourbons]

you had a full list against Coll in RD 10 last year and lost.

No Martin and no Fogarty from memory, and lost Weitering early in the game.

Not that I'd be of the same opinion that I am now even if we had 0 injuries for that game, we weren't exactly traveling that well in round 10 last year to put it mildly. Almost a full season of exposed form later I think things are a little different.

 

[No SPIN]

If you read what I'm talking about that's what I'm saying, you need your soldiers.

I read it - I was making the point that it was not only Coll supporters who thought he did his job and contributed to our win.

 

[No SPIN]

You gave a 1st & 2nd round pick for one last year.

When it comes to effort and intensity our guy wins hands down.
You’re thinking of the one we traded to the Hawks.

So now you’re putting a disclaimer on your earlier comment- all good.

Hoyne on SEN last night said Geel are ranked 1 in scoring from turnover which is why they beat Carl.
On the same metric Coll is ranked 3.
Also said Coll ranks 6 for defending Turnovers while Carl is ranked 13.

Coll has the game style to expose Carlton.

Like you did last year?

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Can't stop lolling at the Carlton "luck" talk

Blues just too predictable, if the Pies are any good we'll get the same result

So another 17 point loss?

 

[No SPIN]

Like you did last year?

Correct in RD 10.
Our defeat was when we had deviated from the game plan during our pre finals slump.

But you saw it in all its glory on GF day.

Hang on hang on now that’s unjustified and I will not have this slander of our good name and our supporter base….



I paid $1.50 for that block of land you heathen

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Correct

Yeah but…you do remember what happened last year right?

 

[bourbons]

So now you’re putting a disclaimer on your earlier comment- all good.

Would have thought the fact we're playing pretty different footy than we were in the first half of last year would be fairly obvious to everyone

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Yeah but…you do remember what happened last year right?

How could we forget?

You need to watch a bit of Martin mate you got no idea about him.

You were making a different point to my point.
