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

[azlou]

He looks one preseason away from being lethal....

Adapts quickly to his opponent in the ruck, it seems - see centre clearances tonight.

There were some "almost" contested marks. He'll take those next year.

We have a player.

Twinkle toes gets front position without wrestling

Are we honestly the worst team when it comes to forward 50 entries? Honestly if I see our boys blaze away into the fifty or kick it to a 2 on 1 and hope for the best I'm going to have a bloody aneurysm. Who can we actually rely on to use the footy well going inside fifty?

 

[BlueBayou]

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

I didn't see Cottrell cough up the ball a dozen or so times, directly to the opposition, I didn't see him give hospital handballs which sell his team-mate into trouble, I didn't see him miss tackles at crucial times

I did see Marc Murphy do that though.

Possessions are not everything

 

[Beer n Skittles]

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

Not sure how the team chooses which 3 quarters they'd like to play either

 

[Accidental genius]

Couldn't hit the target in the second, 10m out, slight angle, not surrounding defenders....

55m out on arc and boundary junction, however..... No problems!!

oh well...shit happens. he is a cosistent goal kicker which i like. and he tackles and they rarely slip out when he wraps them up. we desperately need to play better as a team. we make it hard work but full credit we did not give up. it was like we smelt blood...maybe because we did it last year as well. building belief with each win. specially these sorts of wins.

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!

All the best shadow, condolences to you

thanks for posting

Won with Weitering beaten. Good sign. Thought the umpiring was fair all game but went our way towards the end.

No worries about that after what we've been put through other weeks.

So can we put to bed a couple of myths?

1. There is no conspiracy against Carlton.
2. Umpiring can affect the result of a game.

Don't think Weits was beaten.

First Tab goal was no free.

Second mark he got was 50/50 - had Weitering's throat.

Third was Jones - Attempted overhead mark fell right into Tab's lap.

Well done to Cripps who played responsible team first football in that 2nd half. We need more of that, we don't need heroes trying to be someone they are not.

Get the ball and give it to our outside ball users in the midfield, players like...

****.

LOB? Martin? SPS?

 

[BigBreakfast]

I agree with your comment re Murph tonight. So am now abusing my-self for having been relentless on him needing to retire; I'm an idiot,

I hope more are equally as humble, Opine.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

And me frumpmeister

Me too, thought Gibbons would go left foot around the corner if he could of got it in before the siren blew.

 

[windows1]

fu** I love this club

And I love YOU Arrow you mother ****er.

 

[Blues4lyfe]

I am literally lost for words right now, thought we had lost that game, Newnes you bloody legend what a goal, i woke my 3 year old son up screaming when he kicked that goal, his not going back to sleep now but it was definitely worth it, my hearts still racing a million miles per hour, we were gifted that downfield free kick at the end but they were also gifted a couple of shockers which resulted in goals for them, so i think it was even at the end, but saying that i thought we deserved to win we dominated the game after quarter time just inaccurate kicking was costing us. Thought Walshy and Ed were our best players today, Crippa was alot better in the second half, also like the look of Cottrell looks like his got abit of mongrel about him, Great win Bluebaggers, sorry for the long post just ecstatic we won, have a great night all.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

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

was a few worse that Cottrell, Betts was easily wog, SPS was ordinary and honey had no impact even for a duets game player.

 

[passmark]

Haven’t seen it yet worse than this bloke?

No. That’s Eric Trump with dyed hair.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

That Newnes kick... He even had a camera up in his grill. Enormous concentration. Well done.

 

[NavySteel]

oh well...sh*t happens. he is a cosistent goal kicker which i like. and he tackles and they rarely slip out when he wraps them up. we desperately need to play better as a team. we make it hard work but full credit we did not give up. it was like we smelt blood...maybe because we did it last year as well. building belief with each win. specially these sorts of wins.

It was in jest -- FWIW I think he's done pretty well this year.

I'm just so happy right now.

 

[Mentallo]

Suck shit to Rory Lobb who gave the umpire a gobfull after Newnes kicked the goal but was more than happy to flop and accept a free kick from the umpires in front of goal in the first qtr.

 

[FRUMPY]

Relax Frumpy. We won.

??? I'm relaxed.

As I said middle last qtr, win or lose we were still really shit

true. is it fitness? I think its the gameplan like teague says need to manage the damage when the other side has momentum

as long as the last is one of them we are ok

 

[Juice030103]

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

It’s almost like our main ball user was injured or something...

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

You are back for one day ... and this.

 

[BlueBayou]

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.........

Finally, you and I agree Thy....

 

[Christou2Kouta]

The man love between Crippa and Fish celebrating the goal and win

I was worried Crippa might accidentally uppercut Zac back to Victoria he was so pumped and throwing his fists about.

 

[Accidental genius]

these fox boys love talking garbage ...ffs why arent they showing the pressers??
