Autopsy Rd 8 Blues deserving but no reward again

[bigm386]

Yep that hurt. The umpires were embarrassing. A free kick count should never be so lop sided.

Really proud of JSOS. He showed a lot. The boys did well when everyone expected us to get belted. So that's ok

Lol thread title says blues deserving...they deserved to loose

26 /8 lol

Helps to have a high profile pres who'll whinge like theres not tomorrow if they don't get the rub.

 

[Blueballs38]

24-8 a number of goals went their way because of them .... when are we going to get the rub of the green?

Great effort and response to last week.

Just died in the arse in the last 15 minutes. 26 inside 50s to collywobbles in the last qtr. Young mids couldnt keep it up.

We win this game next year.

 

[FRUMPY]

26 to 5 inside 50s in that last quarter. WTF

They had the ball the whole qtr. Just couldn't get out hands on it and control the play. That's the game there. Pies have bigger bodies and more experience.

[What else we can do]

What was the free kick to Grundy for? FMD

 

[serenityNow]

Extremely proud of the effort this week after last week's game. Well done blues

Extremely pissed at the umpiring of this game.

 

[Wily trout]

It is really, really, really hard Being a Blues supporter sometimes. So very proud of three quarters and 2/3 of the last, but gee we looked terrible in the last 5 minutes. I know where we are headed I just wish we could hurry the #%¥€ up and get there. So many positives from today, just hope we bring that next week and aren't a bit crushed after this one.

 

[rog1995]

Great effort. So proud after last week. So much to look forward to.

 

[bluebrew]

Cannot do AFL any longer watching games like that makes me sick. Angry for letting such a stupid sport make me feel this way.
i have a choice ciao. God bless and cya all there has to be a better way.

 

[jezzajay]

Those goals from them in the end they were pulling out of their back sides...
I don’t care what anyone says, we were in that game as much as they were yet free kicks 8-24...what is that!? I’d like someone to make sense of that.
I appreciate the effort after what we saw last week...feel for the boys for not getting that across the line.

 

[ShanDog]

Hate the thread title. Should be the real story - Blues robbed at the death by s**t umpiring. It was ordinary all day and that's fine because sometimes you have to deal with that. But in the last 5 minutes, bad calls literally change the game and that's what they did on THREE occasions. Two non-frees to Plowman AND one of those goals was clearly touched.

Get ****ed. ******* pricks.

I'm sure when I'm calm I'll be a bit more stoic about it and the team's performance, but for at least the next couple of hours everything can go * itself.

 

[FRUMPY]

Fantastic effort.

Cripps is a god among men.

Fair play to Murph, that was a game I expect from a senior player.

Well done Cas.

Stocker. Let’s stick with him.

Caleb Marchbank you’ve got a spot in my 22.

Murphy was very good and what we want but after stocker and Walsh put their head over the ball and it was his turn to go, he didn't. One hand, lost the contest and they kicked the goal to go more than a goal in front.

Not good enough from a 'leader'

As bad as the umpires were - Inside 50s were 20-5 in their favour.
Didn’t really give back line a chance.

Yep that's the real issue, whether it's a lucky bounce/snap/ump decision, it's going to through through eventually with those numbers.

 

[TonaldDrump]

How was the Elliot touch not called?

Who the * even reviews these goals?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Just ran out of legs.

Cuners came of age today, super impressive.

Plenty of players had their moments, but this Collingwood team is up there with the best.

Boys showed real heart though.

 

[Wily trout]

I'm am actually really happy for JSOS, thought he was BOG for us in the first half, or very close. Could be one of the big bonuses of the season.

 

[pinot]

The boys did well. They will get there.

They are already there - been there for a while.

This is a highly talented group being misguided.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Wow when a team(collingwood) is coming home hard 26-5 inside 50's in the last and the umps are on their backs riding them home you aint got much chance in holding them off .
Truly astonishing .

 

[AB_Blue]

26 to 5 inside 50s in that last quarter. WTF

Massive amount of repeat entries

Umpiring didn’t help

Deserving, more like mentally weak. Although 24 to 8 free kicks doesn’t help.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Couldn’t get our hands on it in the last. Good to see them respond after last week’s shocker though.

And if you don’t wanna boof Crippa do u even Carlton

 

[FRUMPY]

Paddy Dow needs a spell in the 2’s. Looks like a deer in the headlights every time he gets near the ball. His set shot for goal miss was criminal.

Was pretty good today (some of his kicking excluded)

Problem is we have too many who play 2 or 3 qtrs. Dow, setterfield, Fisher, cuningham etc.

Some or our players out there need to be better. Need to be stronger at the core. In the last five minutes you have to :

1. Stay on your ******* feet
2. Lay a ******* tackle and when you do, don't let the other ****** break it
3. Get to the ball when it needs to be met.

Our players don't do this. It's about being better than the bloke in the other jumper when the ball is there to be affected and we simply don't ******* do it.

This.

JSOS is a maniac in the contests. Just never ever gives up. He always manages to at least halve the contest and stick his tackles.

Countless times our tackles are just weak and are.broken so easily. And learn to tackle to affect...tackling the hips does aboslitlrly nothing if they have free arms and still get a handball off to teammates. It infuriates me.
