Autopsy Rd 4 Blues beat Suns but it wasn't pretty

[an unbiased carlton man]

Winning ugly is a characteristic of a good side. Don’t write this win off. No Williams, barely a Saad. Barley a Cripps. No Curnow, TDK and many others that are best 22 players.

Wings? Where we're going, we don't need wings.

H was 20 yards away from that and ends up with the kick.

Had a look: Murphy was the next closest, but not sure how things work with an injury substitution for the kicker (think situations where a midfielder would stream down the field to make position).

When was the last time we were above hawks, tigers, pies and bombers?

Somedays you play well and lose, somedays you play shit and win. Take the 4 points.

Don't think either side got out of 1st gear.

4 points is 4 points. We won ugly and our defensive efforts at the end of the game got us over the line. Cottrell and Parks impressed again and Betts entails everything we need within the forward line pressure. We probably didn’t take hold of the midfield battle as much as we needed to and expected to but a hard fought grinding win is good for the group especially on the road.

2-2. Bring on Port.

We all agree to never speak of this game again yeah?

JSOS is a heart and soul player, gotta love his work and effort.

Hope he can get up next week.

 

[CoachB]

Take the 4 points, double up on the recovery, move on.

Most exciting thing of that game was trying to see if Kennedy would get more possessions in 5 mins of game time then Dow did all game.

dow and setters together

 

[SammaGilberto]

Hope Jack's injury isn't too severe and yes.. best to move on from this humid mess of a game. 4 points, **** yeah!

 

[BigFrizz36]

Sun's will win plenty of games up there this year. Bank the 4 points and move on.

 

[SBYM]

Some games look like that.

Meh.

CARN THE FORKING BAGGERS!!!!!!!!

 

[Bringbackeddie]

2 wins in a row - better than the alternative.

You’d have to say neither of those teams is going to do much damage in September if they play finals.

Totally shite game.

 

[jj1978]

6th on the ladder, above Richmond, and Pies lost to a depleted GWS

 

[BIuebagger]

I hope JSOS is ok. He is so important to us and applies so much pressure for his size. Plays for the jumper. Need him in.

 

[Arr0w]

SPS bog, great vision and composure tonight

 

[footyfan1978]

We all agree to never speak of this game again yeah?

Let us try this approach.

 

[rampar]

We won but teague shouldn't bother reviewing this game. Suggest he reviews the Port and St kilda wins and what manic tackling and pressure looks like.

Dow and setter dropped.

 

[thylacine60]

No one's going to know that we won ugly in round 4 come round 23. Bank the points and move on, well done blues.

great point

 

[Mondyboy]

Cottrell and SPS were huge all night. SPS has gone up a notch and Cottrell is the winger we’re looking for. Just needs to improve his disposal.

One thing at a time please.

Exactly, it's a sign of good teams, winning when you're not at your best.

, looks down on confidence, has lapses, but puts his body on the line

setters is none of the above. He plays like he doesn't give a fk
