Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 5 - Crows v Blues Thurs April 9th 7:40pm AEST/7:10pm (AO)

Actually did. First quarter was elite.
Only 10-15 minutes in the second that Adelaide did it

Been in complete control since that point though.

Murray running it over the line is as blatant a free as you will ever see, if in doubt read the rules . It falls under (c) he is clearly already had time and space to dispose of it , it's irrelevant then that he is now under pressure View attachment 2577817

Wasn't it a behind?

 

[voorhees]

Carlton will walk away fairly happy.
no blow out and decent effort

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Scrappy win in the wet, did what they had to.

A 8 goal win should have been the minimum

Yeah, that was a bad miss.

 

[Miluxx]

How about some of those kicks going i50 for blues in the 3rd. Im certain the message wouldnt be just spear it as hard as you can at your team mates or bomb it high to the goal line so it gets spoiled through. The players are deadset dumbies.

Nah. Can't lose it in the 1st qtr. Well maybe you can but not when you're only 7 points down at qtr time. Carlton did start well though just not good enough.

I don't think so. McAndrew tapped it back into play I thought.

Was looking that way until the rain came

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Penrith lose

Voss doesn’t stink bad enough to get sacked

Great night

 

[Tas]

I feel like Adelaide are worse than we thought, or Carlton are better. I think the crows are probably decent so my guess is Carlton are better than this first month or so has shown.

They might take a couple of scalps if the better sides aren’t careful.

The midfield is a bit hit or miss.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

I reckon Rankine should save the goal kicking celebrations for later in the year given he single handedly destroyed their finals campaign last year.

 

[Cyclonus]

5 goal win in the wet is okay. Crows needed to keep going late in the last but shut up shop. Annoying.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Same for both sides that second half was ugly wouldn’t call it “getting back on track”

Scrappy win sure but that’s optimism at its finest

 

[Cyclonus]

I don't think so. McAndrew tapped it back into play I thought.

They reviewed it, ump said he thought it was touched behind, then it was called a behind on screen. Confusing because it looked like it didn't cross the line.

Wet weather usually evens things up (despite what some say). In the dry Crows should've won by 60+. They're a genuine top 8 side, probably 5-8. Carlton are still a rung above the genuine bottom 4, just terrible tactics, game/energy management, been unlucky maybe. Can't see them winning more than 8 games this year though.

 

[Xtreme]

An honorable loss for Voss

Let him finish his contract

Don't discount Nicks to rollout that same game plan in the Finals even with Rankine, he continued with it this year.......

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The midfield is a bit hit or miss.

Rely on Dawson a bit still though Rachele is a find there way more consistent than Rankine the midfield version.

Is Dawson fully fit yet?

Protest!

Give him a 5 year extension now!

tough conditions to assess

Yeh I assumed he misspoke. Definitely didn't cross.

Carlton can only play a half and goes to shit, very wet weather after half time did help them.

Or, the crows are worse than you thought, and the blues are exactly as bad as you thought

Dawson doesn't seem fit yet, being played down back a bit. He will get there.

Rachele and Rankine are more forwards, they can do damage in the middle but lack some consistency in the middle. Missing Curtin a bit.

Still good enough to get over the majority of clubs but i think they are a fair way off the contenders.
