Autopsy Roast & toast vs Carlton, changes for Geelong

[Sir_Loin]

Carlton * flicks its collective bean over its Super Awesome Contested Beast Unbeatable Midfield *
Richmond * has Prestia *

We only have one midfielder and he's too good for all of theirs put together.

Destroyed them. Lost count the number of times he ran through a contest, cool as a cucumber, won a contest or clearance and got the ball going our way. Absolute freak

Baker as well, had another cracking game

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Just a note on Dan Rioli.
He didn’t get a heap of the ball tonight, but every touch was absolute class.
He has matured enormously as a footballer.

And slotted a nice goal sneaking forward. Have to say, hasn't his kicking improved out of sight since going to the backline. A Dimma masterstroke

 

[Siberian Taiga]

Roast: Bolton needs to be told in no uncertain terms that such smart-alec lairising is unacceptable to the club and that he needs to apologise to the football public, straight after Patrick Cripps apologises for what he did.

Toast: That's not happening Shai, so we'll call it a suspended sentence. Permanently.

Think he was always a decent kick but never really had the space to show it off in the forward line

Love his work down back, playing like he loves the game again

Probably the cleanest ground ball player in the comp. Rarely fumbles. Great skills and decision making. And tough as nails. He’d be up there in the b&f votes this year.

 

[Tiges1229]

So why do we lose momentum ? Can’t the coaching panel see a pattern forming , if we can seriously arrest that we can def win the flag . Surely they must talk about it now it’s seems to be happening every week . I can understand small momentum shifts during games but we just let teams back in .

 

[jc12]

Our flag hopes literally relies on Prestia being fit. Rarely has played a bad game since his first season with us

 

[GoTigers2015]

Can't have a tiger player pumped up by the media when they perform well.

 

[Spagman]

Dunstall complaining about that touched behind after the game was just the icing on the cake. F**k off you fat campaigner.

 

[richoatthedisco]

s**t it’s dire when you say that though, reminds me of dark times. All we had was Coughlan then he got injured. Then all we had was Foley and then he got injured.

Then we had lots of decent ones.

Then those decent ones became a superstar team.

Now back to just one? Uh oh

We won three flags in four years in large part because we had three of the best strike mids in the comp in Dion, Dusty and Cotch. No one has three. Melbourne only has two. We had three. Could never understand even Richmond fans talking down our midfield just because we didn't dominate clearances. We had the best midfield (and the best backline) and Jack and Tom, that's why we won three flags.

We'll just have to go get another couple. I think we're in a position to make that plan A, B and C in our recruiting this off-season.

was absolutely unbelievable tonight. 13 clearances, 19 contested positions. Seriously unbelievable. Honestly if we can keep that up i wouldnt oppose keeping dusty forward more. I think nankervis's improved tap work is helping. Seems to generally be halving the contest and his taps to advantage are much better than they used to be. Seems like he just whacks it as hard as he can to space and backs in the speed of our mids to run onto the ball. Thought that was really nice. Dependance on prestia is a bit worrying though. if he gets injured we will struggle.

Dunstall complaining about that touched behind after the game was just the icing on the cake. F**k off you fat campaigner.

It wasn’t even that controversial. We’ve had worse decisions go against us and it’s not even given a second thought.

I like Dunstall generally but lately I’m wondering if he’s on the cannabis oil. Being a weird campaigner

 

[Grockadoc]

God, everyone is sooking over the touch. Wby is it when a decision goes our way, it gets questioned as the wrong decision but when it is against us (Warner), it gets defended to the hilt.

we are living rent free in everyones heads.

Exactly. Called out all frees missed for the blues but was quiet whenever they infringed without being called. The front on oush to Broad who tried to.mark leading to a McKay goal case in point. Dumbstall called it smart. You CANNOT push a player in the chest when they arw marking the football.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

we've won the frees 3 weeks in a row wtf is going on

reckon dimmer finally said something to the AFL after getting on the cones

Had a sesh with the umps

Not getting bang for buck with inside 50s, won that 76 to 51.

Hopefully we can fix that in the second half of the season.

Anyone heard from Teague lately?

Blues fans are the ****ing worst when they think they’re on a roll. Always good to give them a little back handed slap to remind them they still haven’t done anything since their cheat years

I’m not on twitter so can someone please savage that clueless imbecile for me ?
Thanks in advance.

Whateley spent half the SEN post-game on Bolton's showboating. Christ I hate that Geesook campaigner.

 

[Livonski]

Huge win. I really thought we were no chance with their big midfielders.

Superb first half, looked like they changed it up in the second half with three guys making a wall across the ground a kick behind play. That cut off our attacks and on the rebound they had it coming in quick to man on man.

I think hugo could do with a rest.

Balta didnt look too bad after the game. Im thinking precaution and maybe not miss much. Maurice impressed and has to play next week.

I saw him come down the race post game. Seemed happy as Larry. No ice. Weird.

Was he talking about how great it was?
