Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 3 - Blues v Dogs Fri March 28th 7:40pm AEDT (Marvel)

[guruisatiger]

He played for our VFL team lol.

So still wasn't on our list

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Yeah because you fluke close games vs us with umpires assistance. 2024 in gather round was one. 2020 with that fluke Jack Newnes goal was the other

Cool story dude. I'll add that to my list of things that I still don't care about.

Freo fans 'rivalry' with Carlton is a one sided affair

 

[Freomaniac]

Walsh trade to Freo for Serong sounds fair, right?

We're used to getting overs from them for unders.

Cain Ackland for Aaron Sandilands seems like a fair trade lol

Agreed. It's one sided if the umpires heavily favours Carlton. LoL

 

[Freomaniac]

I didn't think the umps had any real impact on tonight. A couple crap calls either way and a few missed ones.

Blues ran out of legs again which ultimately was their downfall, barely noticed the umps for most of the night.

Blues were expected to win tonight. They were expect to go undefeated by the Victorian media LoL

Did we go in the favourites did we? But more importantly shat does this have to do with my comment about the Umps not playing a major part in the result?

 

[YeoShuey]

Cain Ackland for Aaron Sandilands seems like a fair trade lol

You're right. I'll downgrade it to Caleb Serong for Matt Cottrell. Seems way more fair for both sides.

Stay salty

Carltons midfield kicked 0 goals

When was the last time the entire midfield didnt kick a goal

 

[St 07]

Serious danger game for us. You never know what crazy vossy is going to throw at you. Lewis Young fwd? Harry Mackey resting? Charles Curnow? and don't even get me started on the football. Well done to the Baggers, it's a refreshing depression

 

[Freomaniac]

Your best small forward (if you actually have one) for either Walters or Fredrick or Shai Bolton. LoL

 

[Freomaniac]

Carltons midfield kicked 0 goals

Probably North Melbourne when they kicked 1.8.14 vs cats in Geelong. Todd Goldstein wasn't a mid. He is a ruckman lol

 

[Freomaniac]

Stay salty

You had mystical powers just like Essendon lol

 

[Carringbush2010]

Carlton's three talls kicked ten of their eleven goals.
They have the worst small forwards of any team.
Even at West Coast we at least have Liam Ryan.

Liam underrated imo.

Don’t sleep on the fact they decided not to re-sign their best small.

[Carringbush2010]

TDK is an absolute jet btw

Carlton have plenty of stars, the role players line is a cop out, every side got plenty of role players.. they aren’t shit, you gotta be decent to play AFL, they turfed Kennedy for peanuts who was one of the best players on the ground tonight

It’s the coaching, give the keys to Chris Scott and that side is competing for a flag or any other decent coach

Keep Vossy @ the blose!

 

[Freomaniac]

Tied with N Daicos on 9 already,

Send Ken Hinkley to Carlton lol

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Blues were expected to win tonight. They were expect to go undefeated by the Victorian media LoL

Not sure what Victorian media you’ve been privy to!

 

[Osho]

I have a soft spot for Voss for some reason, not just because of his playing career, perhaps it's a bit irrational.
Perhaps it's because of Patrick White, who is also out of fashion, to our intellectual detriment. Perhaps Judd should take up coaching to have life imitating art and us reading more in wonderment.

Anyway, for 3 qtrs last night the blues were playing a more precision game, picking out leads and finding loose targets. It worked, even though Dogs dominated possession with their frenetic bee buzzing high possession flicking hand ball game style they have persisted with for a decade now, which often doesn't bear fruit, and which caused a mini revolution in ball movement in 2016. It caused you'll recall most clubs in the summer of 16-17 to start drilling in training close-in flicking handballs as a way of transitioning the ball from inside to outside. The method is still around today, but most clubs don't take it to the Dog's extreme. The Dees famously crushed that trend like an international proletarian movement in 2021 in a blitzkrieg that could have caused Belgium to surrender.

Ironically while the Dee's blitzkrieg pilots have recently grown a bit overweight and slow like Hermann Goering himself did, the Dogs manic circular ball flicking to release a loose man still persists to this day like the anachronistic "socialist" and " communistist" does in the names of a selection of countries.

Last night when it got quite hot the Blues resorted to the default "kick to a contest" and they were losing many of those contests. A freakish Kemp performance helped them earlier in the game, and papered over the lack of scoring options, while the Dogs had plenty of goal kickers. The Dogs prevailed like a whirring machine in the night that never turns off and keeps you awake and annoyed with its persistence.

The dump kick default returned for the Blues in the very moment they needed to maintain their more precise kicking and running to space. The kleptomaniac even after years of clean living reverts to thievery if they think noone is watching. They failed their own test. But there will be another test next week, and they'd better stay tuned into the new program for a full 4 qtrs to have any chance against Collingwood, who are the France of the AFL, with their flair, history, sheer size, and their fondness for the guillotine.

Maybe the ARC have the untouched feed to use. Foxtel have a 4K broadcast at 25Mbps while I believe the original untouched feed would be at 80-100Mbps. But at 50fps you are still missing action between frames.

When they play the footage after a score review was called we are seeing what they are seeing. They just have what the broadcaster has which is the problem with ARC.

"Most broadcast cameras operate at a phase alternating line (PAL) standard of 50 frames-per-second while a few super slow motion cameras operate at 150 FPS or even 300 FPS on special occasions like grand finals.

Even with super slow motion cameras the likelihood of blurry vision occurring depends on exposure time when filming live sport. A lower exposure time is more likely to reduce motion blur for replays that adjudicators rely upon. However, television producers want higher exposure time for the cameras they set up to shoot live sport to ensure vibrant colours accompany the action."

Soccer, Tennis, etc have their own cameras they are used exclusively for reviews, they don't use the broadcaster's feed. AFL is just cheap, this is why we have this shit system.

I think this is the true level of Carlton. Just not very good.

Yes 2 from last 12 and those wins v North and Eagles is a clear and apparent formline
They are a bottom 6 side

 

[Mr Meow]

Bevo deserves some credit for how he has the Doggies playing minus 2024's League MVP, his All Australian midfield mate and two of their main goalkickers from last season.

They could easily be 3-0 and look to have good buy-in across the squad they put out each week.

 

[Pistol Night]

Send Ken Hinkley to Carlton lol

I already know the new slogan down at Ikon Park "Can we do it? YES WE KEN"

 

[QuietB]

Do Carlton have any meaningful rivalries now?

I guess round 1 was for the spoon so Richmond means something.

Tell me why a Hinkley/Voss "wife swap" situation wouldn't work between Port and Carlton. It all just makes sense.
