Autopsy Rd 15 Blues by 4. No Cripps, No Charlie, No Doc, No Harry, no ******* problem!

[Blue and Blue]

Walsh was terrific. I said earlier if his kicking had been on today it wasnt a close game at all.
He almost kicked two at least and set up many others.
Thanks SOS and CFC for taking the best player of the next decade.

If all the Silvagni boys have 3 sons, then they all have 3 sons. We will eventually field a team of only Silvagnis....

What a sight to behold.

We just have to bred them with athletic Women of different heights to get ruckman Silvagni and forward pocket Silvagni


EDIT: Rsos, HFFsos and BPsos is how we will call them.

If you like your football team team to be all wide arsed bulls, with the occasional high flyer, ok.

Do we have to change the name of the club?

I played with Highett West with sons of a family who had 16 children. We joked it was Burgess West, Tough boys the Burgess clan, they had to be just to get fed.

David Teague just calls it the way it is no BS.The Carlton football club has a hard decision to make at years end.

If we win a few more, it won't be a hard decision at all!

Its a long flight back from the west when you are tired and sore.
Nothing better than getting in that seat with the job done. Hours to share that succesful post game time in close proximity with team mates and coaches. The good things that can er, germinate from that cannot be underestimated.
Kids are finding out they can mix it at AFL levels and do their thing.
Ed Curnow, captain, midfield, very very impressive.
Murph, respect.

 

[Beast__Mode]

So happy for three players in particular. Murph, Jack, Kennedy.

A game, a half, a couple of moments. Either something to build on or to remind us of just how damned good they were/are through some seriously shitty times at this club.

Why not win a few more games this year? My young fellas insisted we sung the song with our arms on each other’s shoulders after the game. A nice reminder that footy is supposed to be fun - not some weekly rationalisation of pathways, trajectories, etc.

I loved that moment and wouldn’t mind a bit more of it.

I beat you to this quote about a month ago. Couldn't agree more. Thought he played a different role inside more today and still got 30 touches. His efficiency was down from his usual lofty heights, he had been sensationally efficient for a first year player.

Yet let's wait for the media to squark on about his lack of disposal efficiency compared to other first-year players that get it half as much in twice as much space.

He won't win the RS due purely to it being a media award - but who gives a **** I wouldn't swap him for any other first year players - not in a million years - is exactly what we need and the best genuine first-year player since Jesus.

Just watching it on delay, impressed by how good our fwd 50 pressure was.

I'm sure the weather/slippery ball was a factor, but we locked the ball in well and Freo defenders resorted to myriad hack kicks or rushed ball exiting their D50. Resulted in many repeat entries for us.

We have been letting teams waltz out of the backline too ******* long. This was an amazing improvement.

I like it. I like it a lot!

 

[ferrisb]

Anyone else feel that Teaguey likes to put money on our opponents to be up 30 points at 1/4 time only for us to win the match?

If he keeps it up, easiest decision in my mind

 

[windows1]

What about all the much maligned guys today?

Weiters
LOB
Murph
Cas

PS Setters resolved my (minor) concerns about him today. Gonna be a gun.

 

[ferrisb]

If Teague could figure out how to get us to score in first quarters, we'd go 25-0

You're right on setters. He picked up a skidding ball late in the last opposite the broadcast side and dished it off to curnow who fumbled but the pick up was elite.
2020 pre season is massive for him

We had 17 i50's straight at one point...17!

Teague has mentioned in the presser a 'tweak' he had made is pushing up more than under Bolton and trying to lock the ball in our half...we are seeing the benefit of this.

Under Bolts we regularly lost the i50 count by quite some margin...that has changed so far under Teague. And i'm much preferring this style of play.

 

[Heres Waite]

Apparently a 6-6-6 breach by us at the last centre bounce. Makes it even more sweet to see the Freo supporters whinge hahah

There’s only 5 blues players in the photo. What does this guys photo meant to prove?

 

[norway blue]

Awesome against the odds win a long way from home. Across the board team effort . Glad Kennedy played a solid game . Coming back in the last minute and holding on. What a game. They never gave up.

Still can't believe we managed to win that. So rapt.

No excuses for the boys to be too reliant on Crippa from now on - we've seen they don't rely on him anywhere near as much as it had seemed until now. Which can only be good for Crippa!

 

[Dominator68]

Impact of the big tractor massively under-rated again. He killed that lard-boy all day and gave our midfield an armchair ride. Haven't seen stats but reckon it was 20 odd hitouts to advantage. Huge in the result

Fat boy pushed him square in the back about half a dozen times. Gerard Healy onto it in the commentary but moron umpires did nothing. Kruse smart enough to change his start position at the boundary throws to counter dirty tactics.

People forget that this kid is coming off a knee reconstruction, no preseason and hasn't even played 15 AFL games yet.

He's coming along nicely.

Technically they are supposed to be on the edge of the square not off it. But **** Fremantle.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Someone remind me of the year, maybe '93? We were in a a similar, but nowhere near as bad situation as far as the position of the club is concerned, We went on a road trip to the West and beat the Weagles in a thriller. 1 point maybe? My recollection is that sos played forward, at least in the last qtr, and took one of those typical diving marks and goaled for the win. It was the beginning of the rise up to a Premiership. It was the catalyst of belief in their individual and collective abilities.

Deja Vu repeating itself?

95 when Earl flattened Worsfold I think?

 

[branedotorg]

Paddy Dow......most relieved person in the universe......ever!

7 touches from a full game a nice goal and that huge mistake.
Not one for the personal scrapbook for him.

Why are you so short sighted? Undefeated for a mere single season??? pffft
