Autopsy Rd 22 The Teague Train Refuses To Derail - Blues by 10

[FRUMPY]

Maybe an underrated game but how good was Setterfield in defence, stood up extremely well, so good to have that versatility.

I didn't know who would go back and was surprised to see him in the back 6 but was a great move. Took a few good grabs and didn't look out of place. Some of his kicking late was very good and composed options.

Sammo was very good and his disposal spot on. And as someone else said before, Murphy's kicking is back to his best. Just absolute elite ball use.

No Weitering, Jones, Marchbank, Doc, Cuningham, Charlie nor Willa.

Gibbons hurt shoulder and Newman very sore. Crippa in hospital before the match with an ear infection.

Kreuzer was huge. Casboult very solid in defence.

Lot to like from others:
- Setterfield in defence
- Lang tackle pressure
- Dow playing his role and good hands
- Harry’s goal and putting opposition defence under pressure
- Murphy and Ed strong bodies in the middle
- Walsh keeps going, pass out to Lang
- Mitch building, get a pre-season into him
- Simmo, Plowman and Daisy solid
- O’Brien some good run and link play
- JSOS all heart and big last quarter.
- SPS won some important contested ball

Thanks Carlton, thanks for making me love the footy again. Radio talk back, buying the paper, watching all the footy shows again, bring it all on. Feel like I've woken out of a 20 year footy coma. Love my Blues.

Kruezer was enormous today, B.O.G. You just won't find a bigger heart in football.

Fantastic win with so many players out, especially in defense.

Teague is so good. You guys are genuine top 8 material next year. I'm one for good footy and you blokes are playing good footy

 

[cfc4life]

Kennedy struggled? Did you have your set turned on?

Yes he struggled, a few contests where he had the sit but could spread enough for the mark. He'll bounce back though.

Simmo says " A big ****-off " to the muppets on BF giving him grief and S**T last week.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

cfc4life- zero idea and zero understanding of footy. Has a long way to go.

I thought little Fish was the only quiet one today.

Yes ...Ken oath he was ..best game for the club to date imo.
20 touches irc..

 

[The Bighouse]

He looked really good today. Best he's looked all year.

Good to see bar the fly on the line.

Over estimates his left foot kicking (put it away when you can kick on your right, has been doing it all year without results).

Thought he was going to line-up down back when Weiters was out with Kennedy a big up forward (played well too).

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Murphys kicking today was sublime

His kicking and tackling lately have been 2011 Murph

 

[athensblue]

I still think Darcy Lang is pretty junk ... But that three consecutive tackle effort was excellent. I don't think I've seen that from a Carlton player ever.

Mad Dog used to do it all the time
Was good to see from Clubber though

 

[The Edukator]

Theres been a lot of love for dow and lob today. I dont get it? I have faith they'll improve because they show enough glimpses but they consistently make bad decisions, turn the ball over by foot (lob supposedly a good kick but I'm unconvinced) and missed targets within 5 metres by hand today.

Am I the only one seeing this?

Great win otherwise. Crowd noise by the blues fans would have you think they're was more than 51k there today.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Just read the stats, Nic Newman's game is even more impressive than I thought, especially the circumstances

Think he deserves more love on this board. A real BP Quiet Achiever type.

 

[bluemahogany]

Darcy Lang's tackle pressure was team lifting.

I was genuinely in disbelief at that effort

 

[Accidental genius]

was anyone aware of teague's very good coaching (as an assist) ability before he arrived at the blues?

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Still can't get over how good Simpson's play was to set up DeLuca. Incredible stuff.

Had to be to make up for his horrendous turnover the previous time he had the ball. But agreed, it was sensational.

 

[Blubagger71]

I remember panning our guys last year, even early this year, for our l lack of physicality and ability to stick a tackle. Hasn't that notion been dispelled with fervour! Our forward pressure almost changes our need to find a forward like Papley in the trade period. Still take him though. We muscled at least three goals that I can remember. We are truly defined by relentless pressure now. Cat's methodical style will be a good test of that pressure next week. I reckon we take a leaf from the Lions and we can roll them.
The enigma of Kreuzer continues. When fit he has to be amongst the best going around. It's just that caveat of fitness. Really liked Harry as as mobile ruck around the ground too and he seems to lace put more targets than when he is taking set shots.

Would love to see Cas back. He has been invaluable in so many roles this year, Daisy might be in the same boat although, I feel confident he will get a gig somewhere next year. Hopefully he doesn't wallow at Suns.

Loved Murph today. Showed his class around the footy and disposal was sublime. He and Simpson defined the significance of the old guard to the side.

McGovern what can be said. Only blew was that potential Simpson goal but, even that shows his confidence to attack the footy.

JSOS is fast becoming an animal of epic proportions as a team/link/effort player who rarely snatches headlines. Look forward to him putting on some bulk to support the smarts.

Lots of other great contributors to too numerous to mention all of them. Great Bluebagger effort in an emotionally significant day for so many: Thomas, Cripps, Newman and Teague. Great job, lads. Let's get the Cats and knock them out of the top two next week. My mate is an Eagles old boy, would love to put that smile on his face and mine.

Question is.. only player to have gone backwards under Teague is Fisher.. he’s totally lost.

 

[Accidental genius]

jack was so impressive today ..imagine when he is in his peak in a few years time

 

[The Edukator]

Mad Dog used to do it all the time
Was good to see from Clubber though

Despite his 3 tackle effort it would still appear that some.. Pity the fool.

It's called 'The JSOS'....
