Autopsy Rd 20 Blues never threatened in encouraging win

[FRUMPY]

Epic comeback by Weiters. Looked like it was going to be one of those nights for him, but he fought back and won the battle in the end.

Man of steel indeed.

Full credit to him (and to be fair the kids who stopped the easy kicks into the 50).

Just backed himself and played to his real ability. Did look shellshocked early but massive response.

No superstar match winner tonight, just a quality team effort. Hats off Mr Teague.

 

[ctwenty1]

I reckon Teague would be just wanting Gov to be fit and then see what his team can do.

Walsh is awesome.
bit what I really loved to see was others doing their bit. The likes of Dow (disposal and poise was sublime), LOB (found the ball and when he had time was damaging), Honey (we’ve found one) and Williamson (that’s what I used to love about him) wee great contributors. It will take more than just Walshy and Crippa to get us back to the top flight. This was pleasing

 

[BlueCorp]

Our tackling intent from the get go was impressive. By halftime we had 51 tackles which our game average. LOB's best game for the club, SOS dug deep and Harry kicking a bag was pleasing.

Murphy isn't giving his best for the jumper or his team mates and we are carrying him over the line. If we have a game with an early injury and he's the sub we are virtually a man down.

Dow 14.6 KMS

Supporters - especially on here - have had a seriously tough year - you deserve this win.

Few players I am looking forward to coming in - McGovern, Williams, Cunningham, Docherty - we have a long injury list and apart from Marchbank - not concerned about many.

We need to go to the draft -

Where are all the LOB haters now?? Please put your hand up

Teague?

Where are all the LOB haters now?? Please put your hand up

Is there that many who watch VFL?

Man of steel indeed.

I actually was never too concerned with Weiters, I've seen this before with him.

He engages WeiterBot mode, analyses what he needs to do to beat his opponent, and puts it into play. I'd always back him.

Wonder toys...

Wonder murph, has had the knack for icing games.

 

[thylacine60]

JSOS take a bow son

Honey, LOB, Dow, very good performances
Walsh and Cripps drove that from the middle

Weiters and Jones bounced back

Charlie made it through

I said last week was an abberation (on the back of the Silvagni emotional week) and will they bounce back?....yeah they did.

That stuff shouldnt happen but it does.

 

[Pentatonic Flat Fifth]

2 highest score of the season for Carlton

3 lowest number of scoring shots

WTF !!!

 

[Mr_Plow]

Once Dow builds a tank will be what we need. Starts each game strong and tapers off. Needs to do some serious running in the off-season.

He's one strong pre-season from ******* exploding into an absolute beast midfielder.

 

[dirk pitt]

LOB 4 inside 50’s = 4 marks, and 4 goals.

Good to see him and Curnow back out there!

Yeah but Cottrell runs a long way, so c'mon man think about it

 

[__Bobcat__]

I don't get the face nappies for the team song.
yet now looking at the team in the change rooms they are closer to each other now compared to singing the team song...

 

[ferrisb]

We lost clearances by 3.

What a spectacular effort with no proper ruckman for 3/4 of the match.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Agree. Get it done.

On that note - anyone else notice the players' reaction in the room?

Teague went over to Murphy, then exited stage left (right).

 

[SBYM]

gotta take it and see it as a big turnaround in form - and please, please, please, this HASN'T PAPERED OVER ANY CRACKS!!!!!

My papier-mâché underpants on the other hand...

 

[FRUMPY]

I know Charlie didn't do much, but that goal was sexy AF.... One step, BANG from 55!

Can't wait til he gets up to speed.

Him and Harry are going to be a nightmare for defenders.

Injury free is all I wanted. The goal was . Looked to be moving ok but wrong spots (fair enough after missing two years). He'll get a little bit better each week. Anything he does is a bonus.

Newnes and Murphy have to be dropped next week. Have given absolutely nothing all night

Until that last 10 minutes, Murphy had been on the pine for almost 40% of the time he was active in the match.

Newnes had defensive work to do this week, and he cocked up so much of it. That said, can't fault him on covering ground or trying to contribute.

 

[jj1978]

We won which is awesome, but saints played like they thought we were easy pickings. But great to start balancing the ledger again against this stain of a club.

Dow had a bit more gas, LOB deserves to remainder of the season as does Honey.

Loved everything about tonight except

• Injury to TDK - can’t be serious another ruck down
• Last 10 mins
• Murphy just sickened me seeing his attitude on the pine and on the field
