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!

 

[Osho]

Good qtr. What I want on a Friday after a long hard week by the pool.

 

[Beerfish]

Carn pies!

 

[My Tilly]

Another slow start for Collingwood. At least they're only a couple goals down opposed to being 3-4 down in previous weeks.

 

[Chaisa]

Carlton look the goods. Doing a lot right.

The one thing I will say is that it does feel like Collingwood's midfield isn't getting smashed, and if they can match or beat a side in the middle they're nigh on unbeatable.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

How does Curnow stack up against the greats of the 21st century as a KPF? He's on track to win his third Coleman medal in a row. Would he be more of a FF or a CHF in previous eras? The roles are kind of blurred in the modern era. Jeremy Cameron is the best example of a modern CHF IMO whereas Tom Hawkins seems more FF.

Needs to win some flags or he’s just a slightly better Fev.

Jezza basically plays as an extra wing/mid. Look at his numbers just as an around the ground player. He could play mid if they wanted him to. He’s started on the wing a couple times this year.

Hawk is a Full forward from a previous generation. There isn’t really a comparable guy to him because all the guys of his ilk already retired years ago or they evolved to be different types of forwards.

Charlie is a gun and probably the best modern Full Forward.

Idk what you’d call Jez? I guess Centre Half Forward?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Too fumbly, making poor decisions, no where near our best.

We're applying pressure,as are the other mob. But they're cleaner with ball and making better decisions.

Not looking good.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Carn pies!

Happy to be Collingwood's and Essendon's greatest rival. Though, with that sort of love, you should probably give up ANZAC Day.

Yeah, he’s good. CHF for me cos he loves field kicking as well.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Happily not following a club that gave a R1 and R2 for Schultz. Freo with daylight robbery on that one.

Not looking good.

With Carlton's key forward quality differential, Collingwood need to be the much better team on transition and punishing turnover to win. That's yet to materialise. It feels like if the Blues keep this pressure up the Pies will just struggle to get going.

There’s a long way to go.
Cameron a big chance.
Would have arguably won it last year if not injured.

 

[Xtreme]

Collingwood just about finished in 2024

A loss against Carlton makes their quest to defend their premiership all that more harder.

 

[Elixuh]

Charlie curnow is a magnificent specimen

If you were designing him you’d made his head a little more in proportion to his body

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Surely once players become fit Williams is not in the blues best side. Real weak link down back last week and early doors tonight has been a liability.

Pies seem stuck in first gear this season.
No where near how they could shred teams last year.

What were Collingwood thinking giving up a first round pick for Lachie ******* Schultz

Thats Collingwood trades in a nutshell.

Overpay for players coming in, and get reamed for trading players out.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Flags shouldn't be the sole determinant. With 18, soon to be 19 clubs there will be LOTS of players play a long career and win nothing.

Bob Skilton only played 1 final in his career, a loss. And he's a legend of the game.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Over umpired crap. On track for 60 free kicks.

 

[Astro_]

This is bottom 4 stuff at the moment
