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

[NavySteel]

Sps had a mare early. Clutch tackle in the last quarter redeemed his night.

So much ability, just want to see him unleash himself.

Doesn't back himself...

Think Bolts got into his head, i.e. play safe, and don't screw up...

Needs some licence to flair -- he can do it.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Yeap

Think you and I were discussing this while watching that championship game

He’s just turned 20.

....and the ground he covered today, first quarter he was deep on the line as a defensive mid, then he’s getting forward kicking goals.

Mids kicking goals are gold. He could play safe through the middle like your Shiels, Treloars, rack up big numbers, trot between the arcs and get a pat on the head every week.

But this guy is something else.

Did I mention he only just turned 20??

 

[murphster]

Again more effective, once we got it inside 50, despite the number of behinds

Yep same number of inside 50s 42 a piece, 18 shots to us 12 to them.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Cant believe people are saying we got lucky. Free kick was definitely there and it was nothing but Newnesys skill that won us the game.

2 of Freos first 3 goals were from dodgy umpirong decisions... should have beaten them by a couple if you want to play points. Doesn't matter though WE WON!

How good is it to have a season alive with 6 games left?

TDK showing the athleticism I reported when he tucked against Grundy in the preseason. Was a ‘wow’ day. He may always be a high impact low possession player. I can assure you the mids would prefer him to Kreuxer or Pitto. That LEAP.

Can't see him being omitted

Put a very diplomatic post on the Freo board. Copped nothing but grief

pack of fu**en sooks. Makes me enjoy this even more

what do you think of our posters sooking after a win?

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Was there in 93, 12 years old. He just needed a point. Cried for a week.

Ah, 93 was it. I was at the Hawthorn match.

Had to listen to the radio call from Rex Hunt for the * game the week before. I swear it was at least 5 minutes after the siren before I actually knew who had won.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I know. Never again.

I'll kick you up the ass if you do

 

[Benaly28]

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

Agree however tonight’s conditions played a part.

Ryan also played a part. Teams are forward tagging doch we should try and do the same

 

[JustaBattler]

Its taken me aa while to recover from the last few minutes of the game but geeez

Newnes kick was absolutely perfect - takes enormous courage to settle yourself and make that kind of kick much kudos to Newnes for that hope it lifts him and his confidence.

Really liked what I saw of TDK.

Homey is all class - just didn't get the bounce of the ball his way on the few occasions play came his way but for a first gamer - me likey.

Cottrell is an uglier version of Mitch Robinson - I like him.

Kudos to Cripps for leaving the lairy stuff and getting back and playing some sensible Cripps style football in second half too.

Best thing I've seen in a game was the reacrion of all the players after the win - made me smile and happy.

We were kissed on the D*** as they say - whats not to like about an after the siren win from a kick on the boundary and no run up after a dust-up with a cameraman - amazing.

 

[Mondyboy]

had a feeling you followed freo........

They were tears of joy. As distinct from the tears of pain he shed when Robbie G slotted it.

 

[NavySteel]

Newnes had 8 tackles. Most on the ground. Just saying.

And a goal.... The most important stat of the night.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Play redemption song for Jack.

Jamming.

Bop shoo wop shoo wop.

Doesn't back himself...

Needs some licence to flair -- he can do it.

bit rich blaming bolton for sps and his awful performances of late................

 

[CaressMyBlues]

Think he means son jokingly, but anyhow he's referring to Walshy.

How do you know he's joking?

Someone that tends to run in circles instead of straight lines should never be in defence it’s an accident waiting to happen.

 

[ferrisb]

We look so much more dangerous with Fisher in the team.... Weaving, zigging, zagging, always moving the ball forward.

Weclome back, Prince of York.

 

[Newton Blues]

You certainly have the balls to put newnes on the chopping block for dow after newnes winning kick... even after having decent games all year. Come to think not sure balls is the right word

I think we works harder then anyone. Does all the defensive stuff and wins enough of the ball. I just think if we are a finals side his ball use is not good enough and he makes to many poor decisions. Dow isn’t the best at these either but I’m hoping he cleans it up to become the Dangerfield type we need to take us to the next level...

 

[carlton2dabone]

Hate how some people are talking about the umpires robbing Freo.

Umpires gifted Freo a shot free 10m directly In front of goal in first quarter.

We on the other hand were gifted a shot 50m out from goal right up against the boundary after the siren.

We had a much much much much harder shot at goal to even up the ledger from contentious umpiring.

 

[BigBreakfast]

can I bid on that?

Name your price.
