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

[The Dog]

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.

Loved his mongrel and agression too

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. Strange days we live in.
Can we get Nana a stat for a goal assist?

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

The ****?

He's hard quick and composed. I'm literally gagging to get 30 games into him.

 

[Arr0w]

Well, except the one where he ran into an open goal from 25 out. Meh.

9-3 for the year I think? Not bad

Nice

It's true that a win glosses over a lot of issues. Pulled through on the back of a couple of fortuitous decisions and a very surprising kick.

The win still leaves us with a chance to play finals, but we didn't look much like a finals side tonight

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Not sure about that. The two frees in their forward 50 in the first were pretty, well, not actually free kicks. And we outplayed them for almost 3 quarters.

Liam’s missed mark gave them a gimme too

 

[BigFrizz36]

FMD how bad is the carlton media/club that don't make themselves available for roaming Ed?

Suspect that the vast majority of the media team are in Melbourne not in the bubble.

Regardless, the ball should have gone back to Doc, not downfield.
We received a gift tonight and should probably hush about the umps for a couple weeks now.

Anyway: that was brilliant composure from Newnes, as soon as he kicked those wires out of the way I knew he had it.

Nah mate, if the free is given at the point of kicking the ball it’s where it’s kicked from. If the free is after the kick it’s downfield. Been like that for as long as I’ve been watching football.

The only query is the free, maybe was though not convinced and if it was against us I would have lost my shit completely. It’s one of few areas of umpiring that is generally consistent so if you are looking at the game as a whole then it’s play on.

I love Perth. A bloke who gets dragged up in a prawn net can take control of a presser.

Haven’t seen it yet worse than this bloke?

 

[Arr0w]

The fu**?

Yeah, keep him in, mini Robbo

 

[FRUMPY]

Also I’m sorry for being critical of Walsh earlier this year, what a gun

Thought his first qtr and a bit was quiet but lifted massively after that

AFL site says Kennedy injured. Doubt JM will get up

Kennedy - while not the fastest guy at the best of times - was noticeably limping as he attempted to chase in the forward line late in the game.

 

[ash_2323]

Great finish to an average performance. How did people rate SPS in the second half? He was copping it at half time, thought he was solid in the second.
Loved Walsh and Ed. Cripps had some nice little touches that had an impact, not so much with his forward 50 entries.

Not sure we want him in the backline based on tonight

Why?

Umpires have no influence on the result you told me ... several times

first cellaring for misjudging tone........in you go...........and take your umpire hatred with you...........

hes hard and quick. but composed?

I was kidding, Arrow. He has popped up for goal/s in just about every game at opportune times. Laughed at someone last week who compared him to Mullet et. al. The balls to go over and own that kick. Love it.

Cottrell is the Ed Curnow heir apparent- won’t be a star but will always be there abouts at the finishing post fighting for a place

 

[Shadow89]

Sorry for your loss. Strange days we live in.
Can we get Nana a stat for a goal assist?

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

What a great post. Thanks Shadow89.
Condolences to you and your family.

Thanks guys, really appreciate it

Reckon she gets two votes behind Newnes! Haha

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Cottrell bang ball long in wet conditions?
Think we were watching different games. Twice in about 30 seconds he gave two dribble kicks in defensive 50 that went straight to a freo player that went about 10metres.
Might be able to run all day, but needs more time in the twos, has no clue at all...bring back dow for sure

14 disposals and 360 metres gained. Yes, he dribbled some kicks but then everybody on the ground did at times. Metres gained tells us he was getting the ball going forward a lot.

 

[F_therest]

We’re now officially fighting for 8th spot.

HUGE “8 point” games ahead Against Suns, Giants and Pies. All winnable. All could decide whether we make it or not.

Yep lots for us to work on but hopefully we get Martin/Gov/Cunners back for the Suns which makes our forward line way more dynamic. By the sounds of it Dow pressing and puts pressure on Setterfield/Kennedy to perform which is good.

 

[Kramer1]

How often do you win a game without a single quality inside 50?

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Sticks Newnes.

Yep.

I reckon Sticks was the last win after the siren we’ve had before tonight....seen a crap load of us on the receiving end in the last 30 years

Our ball use going into 50 leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[NavySteel]

Willo played his best game of the year I thought.
Took it on, created something out of nothing at times, had some good 1-on-1 wins.
Some of his decision making is still a bit iffy, but I liked his intent.

He's had continuity now after 2 years out.

Love how he is backing himself... Was strong out of defence.

If he can stop slipping over, he'll be sweet.

Keep.
