Autopsy Rd 12 Newnes wins the game for Carlton after the siren!

[Wily trout]

Nice to see Brad Johnson and Jordan Lewis try and praise Carlton, words coming out like vinegar out of their dribbling chins

At least Johnson was honest in saying clearly he doesn’t like Carlton, but loves footy and that, that ending was what he loves about footy.

I’ve been trying to get over Blight’s kick after the siren for decades.


I now have.

That was one we were owed.
Great to be on the end of some lucky officiating for once this season and you see it does make a difference.
What a kick from Newnes I thought he was no chance !

Agreed mate, magnificent kick, backed himself in and slotted it sweetly. GREAT job and to think I was one of the filthy campaigners that wanted Newnes dropped.

I hadn't seen much of Luke Ryan before, but he was unbelievable tonight.

Best player on the ground IMO.

That's okay, I've paid so little attention to Freo that before tonight I thought Ross Lyon was still coach haha.

 

[F_therest]

Same.
Seeing him bump the Freo guy (I want to say Aish?) showed some grunt that too few in the team have.
Not dirty, but physical.
Loved his goal too.

How was the celebration?

Cottrell's got a bit of Mitch Robinson about him and that's not a bad thing

What....a...KICK!!

 

[jj1978]

Wonder how many teams in history have won a game after only leading after the siren rang to end the fourth quarter?

We kicked the first point of the game

Best celebration was definitely patty. He was literally looking around for someone to lift

He’s good.

Just let wanted to post this here, as me and my partner are in raptures right now (her side Carlton and obviously my second side) - you may have just witnessed divine intervention, haha.

My grandmother unfortunately passed away today, from this f*cking horrible covid 19 disease. It's been a tough day as we were close, but footy has been a great comfort all throughout.

Point of this post, is that with about 10 minutes to go, I looked up to the sky and asked my nana if she could help us over the line. 10 seconds to go and Docherty kicks it out on the full. Me and my partner both think it's over and we commiserate.

Nek minnit, a down the field free kick is paid, and no-one really knows what it's for. Moreso, Newnes who is an experienced player takes the kick, and Gibbons who is young doesn't.

Newnes kicks the goal, and the rest is history.

For the record, I'm an agnostic, but I do believe there's things we don't understand. I said thank you to my nana, and it kinda brings me a bit of joy to see something so bizarre/unusual unfold.

Go Blues!

Sorry for your loss Shadow.
And a big thanks to your dear Grandma for the assist!
Commiserations mate.

Happy for Fyfe to spend most of the game up forward next time we play Freo...

 

[thylacine60]

needs to be an enquiry and I'd be happy to lose the points if it meant getting some consistency back into the game adjudication........pretty sure.........

 

[Arr0w]

These are the games that launch it. Memories, moments to learn from and working your arse of to achieve a goal. Crippa’s interview after the game = invested. That song with the whole club in it! Culture building stuff.

Yeap

Coming from behind, in wet conditions, away from home

You don't win games like that if you don't have belief, good culture

Tom Williamson turning into a very serious footballer.

Take the win, but Freo were unlucky

We had 4 more scoring shots, 1 less I50 and more disposals, that’s a tough call

 

[Mr_Plow]

Cottrell is pretty unrefined, but his intensity and drive is huge. Covers a hell of a lot of ground.

Seems like a natural defensive winger.

He's Ed Curnow with more class.

 

[ESKIE]

is this one of you guys ?

 

[Juddrockz]

Beautiful kick by Newnes to pinch the game. Glad it was in his hands,actually.
The Baggers needed that win.

Yeh dow straight in for cottrell who was worst on ground by a mile.

Worst on ground? No way. He did what he needed to do. Saw ball, get ball, bang ball long in wet conditions. Stuck to his opponent. Don't let the disposal efficiency get to you when he was in the trenches. Great goal too.

 

[passmark]

Maths not Teagues strong point.

 

[TerryWallet]

Cottrell laid an intentional aggressive bump in the 2nd half. It was great to see. I'd like to think it added to our momentum. Well done.

He's only a battler, but if you can bring some aggressive intent then that is a needed skill.
