Autopsy Autopsy vs Carlton - absolutely bashed the shit out of the Blues

[Gasometer]

How did your new parking out of town and taking the train the last portion go today?

Lol

It didn’t

Found a new car park top of Little Collins and it worked a treat. Out of there in 5 minutes. That one last time took 40 minutes.

 

[grimface_87]

So as far as I can tell that was the largest margin turnaround in the same season of all time (and would have been even bigger if we had gone n with it)

-82 pts + 11 pts = 93 pts turnaround

Edit: ok so ignore that my quick research after too many beers with phone about to die was nowhere near correct

See hcd199 's post with a much better analysis of this

 

[Caracas]

Maybe it was a decision based on protecting his condition

That would make sense.

 

[archereleven]

I’m referring to today. I didn’t see it as a pure sling tackle

Both were great tackles and both were penalised for 'optics' that's all I'm saying.

 

[Gasometer]

Wow what a day

The pressure machine continues!

Wardlaws attack on the contest brings perceived pressure; this guy in 2 years is going to be elite

FOS, H, X and Jy

I think what’s impressing in this stretch is the lesser lights improving in Stephens and Pink


It was great to be genuinely up and out of the seat cheering in that second quarter

What a day!!

I forgot MCKercher

 

[ferball]

An omen for sure! Hope your girl enjoyed the win ferball (and you too!)

It was great.

Thanks.

Carlton fans in tears? Excellent.....

 

[archereleven]

We look like a different side when we’re hard at the man and hard at the ball.

We look not so great when we try and play like millionaires.

We have a 156 year history that backs this up

 

[McKuursma]

Loved the fact that a big-bodied opposition team tried to rough us up, which we met then beat on the inside for the most part, while our gameplan/structure held up when our decision making was passive. A very mature outcome with obvious upside still to come. We can take scalps in the back half if we improve execution on transition, don't think we're far off at all

 

[Spud11]

This team is growing together. And Clarkson’s mojo is coming back.

 

[franjon]

Exactly. Fisher was brought on because they wanted him to have some decent minutes against Carlton. He was fine but there was no need to make the change when they did and Wardlaw, despite not having a great game, wasn't so bad he needed to be dragged.

He wasn't fine at all. He was fresh, so he got the ball, but pretty much just turned it over.

 

[Black Diamond]

Three good quarters then one dodgy quarter.

Is that worse than playing three good minutes then one bad minute through the entire game? I don't know.

I'll take it. Sorry I could not watch it.

Welcome back brother spud

 

[Rod Stroker]

Clarko looks despondent, he knows what we let slip. Won't let the players be happy with just the 4 points

we didn't score in the last quarter. only 3 I50s, in isolation it was a very poor quarter

 

[Cool Kangas]

Who’s next? A serious question. How many wins to make finals?

Lol

 

[Frank Thring]

Here comes Mr Negative…

CMON THE ****ING KANGAS, SHOVE IT RIGHT UP THOSE campaignerS.

Positives.
Damaged those campaigners and probably killed their coach. North The Coach Killers.
Come out fighting in the middle half of the game despite being smoked in the first.

Negatives. Tried to lose it but who gives a ****. Go kangas

Told ya we'd beat them

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Anyone else watching the Darling chase down tackle on loop?

 

[Loose_Cannon]

Just finished watching the recording (life took me away for the afternoon).

Winning is much better than losing. The next best thing is how salty Blues fans get; the melts are fantastic.

I'd take a few more "ugly" wins to round out a year that has been a definite step forward, and one win where we just put the foot on the throat and really smash a team. 84 points in three quarters, I thought we'd crack the tonne and hold them to ~65 which would have been huge. But a win is a win and IT FEELS GREAT!!

 

[Samsquanch]

I'm not upset with a win. In fact I'm rapt but it could have been 50 or 60 points. Imagine the diurnal turnaround if we had gone on with it?

 

[archereleven]

Bring on Good Friday 2026. We will storm past these pricks.

Nek minut - Cottrell kicks 6 and Carltank win by 69

 

[Rod Stroker]

At the ground today, it was noticeable that players were slipping over more than they should be. Was frustrating.

I thought LDU was scragged a lot today and never got a free.

 

[Frank Thring]

What a day!!

Headed up to the Gold Coast to watch the game with the Qld Supporters club, downed a few beers, got a win, met Arnold Briedis at the function, and won a Bailey Scott signed jumper too.

Your night resembled our performance. Fantastic up until the last bit

He never gets frees and he also doesn't get the benefit of prior opportunity either.
