Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 9 - Blues v Demons Thurs May 9th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

Will be interesting to see if Carlton drop off now. They've struggled to put teams to the sword

It won't matter unless Melbourne turn up. They could but even so, if Carlton hold their level it's hard to see 5 goals being pegged back in these conditions.

 

[Fitzey]

and that's a pretty low bar

Worse than that day down in Geelong.

 

[spudmaster]

I'd like to change my tip

 

[Blue_1nvasion]

5 day break versus 7 showing already? You wouldn’t have thought so.

5 day v 6 day break

 

[Osho]

Blues supports need that... take a load off guys

Geezuz!

 

[Chaisa]

13 I50's without a single score. Yikes.

 

[danster168]

Carlton have been brilliant. Doing all the things you’d want from a team playing in the wet against a stingey defence.

Because we have played well Melbourne look very poor.

The game will shift at some point and Melbourne will need to capitalise as we have.

a lot of dump kicks landing in your laps though. a few lucky frees. everything going your way. Even a lucky ball popping up to Cottrell leading to the first goal. Spud kicks like pittonet kicking straight. Game is over but I wish the dees showed something. we've been hopeless.

 

[Randomizor]

This either needs to be a comeback or a blowout. A 3 or 4 goal win is the most boring outcome now.

Been our biggest weakness and it is very true.

Rarely do we blow teams out or capitalize on an early jump. Fully expecting the Demons to come hard now as we have our usual crap qtr.

 

[The 747]

As Nathan Buckley would say "The Blues have good D" tonight.

On an unrelated note, Hollandia beers go alright.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Melbourne pretty putrid so far, but they'll hit back.

 

[Osho]

Carlton haven't even been good. we've just been horrific. dump kicks just landing in their laps.

Yeah Blues are rubbish with their 5 rubbish goals.

 

[beerbandit]

Worst quarter the dees have played in 50 years.

Nah I remember a game in 2011 when you lost by 186 points. That was a 4 quarter effort

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

It won't matter unless Melbourne turn up. They could but even so, if Carlton hold their level it's hard to see 5 goals being pegged back in these conditions.

Could happen if they turn it into an arm wrestle and gradually reel them back over the rest of the game

 

[eaglespremiers]

Worst quarter the dees have played in 50 years.

Did you miss the first half of the Prelim against us in 2018?

 

[JD888]

Blowout please!!!

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

A few have. But we are trying to take territory where as the Dees still look methodical. They will switch it up this quarter.

 

[RandB]

maybe putting someone on walsh would help. the guy is completely open at every stoppage.

Goodwin won't notice for another quarter.

 

[DamoESP]

Will be interesting to see if Carlton drop off now. They've struggled to put teams to the sword

Yeah it’s why this game is anywhere near over. We’ve got a history of going to sleep and letting teams back in

 

[Plugger35]

The scoreline doesn't really reflect the game, Melbourne are right in this in general play but they just haven't been able to score.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Oliver can get the ball but he has a LOT of disposals that don't do much at all.

 

[Mr Meow]

Melbourne's forward line looks back to spud level this week.

I'm not sure Pickett and Fritsch are liking the wet conditions.

 

[danster168]

Goodwin won't notice for another quarter.

lol I knew in the first 3 mins. Goodwin will take til 3/4 time by which Walsh has 40 and 3 goals.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

5.0 start without figjam King Charles doing anything. Good first quarter.
