Autopsy Rnd 8 Blues get the 4 points but .... yuck

[ferrisb]

Also happy with Setterfield.

He was really composed in tight today. And was clever in fighting for territory once the rain came.

Really building towards the pre-season hope we had for him.

 

[Rustica]

56 free kicks says it all. The game of Aussie Rules is becoming unwatchable by the week. Happy for the W but holy shit

32 free kicks to 24

 

[Pablito]

Happy we got the win.

That was the worst we've played all year though. Just shows you how bad North are.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Other than ending the drought against North, I will never speak of this game again.

The afl..
Wtf is going on. Holding the ball has me confused as fu**. Game as a spectacle is dog sh*t

Nothing to be confused about... you hold the ball you get pinged except if your opposition is Carlton.

 

[BeligerentBlue]

Never in doubt

Setters early, Kennedy as well, but Plow was BOG

 

[95blues]

How funny though, last week we lost by a missed Cunners kick, this week we win the same way essentially after he iced it.

And both times he ignored a potentially better option.

 

[KJP7]

Mark of an improving side is when you can play terribly but still win. We just found a way

 

[branedotorg]

Got lucky there I reckon.

Need a forward line.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Disgusting game to watch after QT. Skill errors galore from both teams and 56 free kicks in a shortened game, what a horrific spectacle

Take the 4 points and run I say...

 

[jj1978]

Did Weitering lose a contest today?

Just unbelievable again.

In AA (absolutely awesome) form...

SPS lost one for him

 

[HBF]

We won. We got the four points. Now let’s never speak of this game again.

I think thats a great idea

 

[T2B_]

**** I hate Norf.

 

[Juddalenko]

Weird game. Da da da da da I guess. Win is a win. I’ll take it over a bogey team. 2nd qtr was like St Kilda game. Umps had a mare of a 2nd half. Better team won. Love Doc reaching his milestone - felt a bit like when Rhino reached his 50 games.

 

[Blueballs38]

im so confused about Newnes .... is he best 22? does some awesome things and then some really dumb things .... then again u look at SPS and think ... yeah Newnes rocks

 

[bigm386]

We won absolutely nothing from that game. North are terrible and we made it hard.

The good:
We won
Kennedy and Setterfield stepped up
Pittonet was good
Willo had moments
Newnes had some good moments
Weitering, Plowman and Jones look good today.
Curnow did a good job on Simpkin.

The bad:
Selection committee Moore should never play again
Senior players again didn't do enough
Something needs to change with Doc. He has had a horrid month.
McGovern injury or not does not deserve a game and is nowhere near it.
Our set shots are still crap.
Marc Murphy brings us 0 defensively and horrible entry into the forward 50. High kick and hopes. Enough is enough.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Ugly, clumsy game in the end but we got the points so we take that and move on.
we need another natural goal kicked up forward to help out, We should’ve blew them away earlier but just couldn’t finish our work.

 

[Curnivore]

Did Weitering lose a contest today?

Just unbelievable again.

In AA (absolutely awesome) form...

Never looses a contest, few kicks average.
Plowman is fast becoming the new Heath Scotland for me. Just so reliable

 

[No1Suspect]

32 free kicks is that a record?

 

[HBF]

What a legend Doc.
Raising his bat as he's coming off the ground.

 

[RPCB]

Great win today. Was a hard slog but got the 4 points. 4-4 start to the year, much improved than winning our 4th match last year in Round 17.

I’m so glad this is over.
