Autopsy Round 6 2024 – Carlton vs GWS Giants, Saturday April 20, 4.35pm AEST, Marvel Stadium

[MelbourneGWS]

Falling a bit at the last part of the first quarter - umpire bias throughout the quarter not helping either

 

[BarryAglett]

A combination ripe for an umpiring special.

Umps loving those Blues

 

[BarryAglett]

Fix those centre clearances boys!

 

[Adam Giant]

Fairly awful performance so far.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

How was that not a 50 for Jesse?? Serves them right that Jesse scored anyway

 

[MelbourneGWS]

6 in a row!! Our boys are on fire!

 

[Giant Strides]

Don't slack off now, boys. Really need to pick our game up at the centre rucks.

 

[BarryAglett]

Our ball use kills them when it's on. When it's off we get scored on.
Some nice signs if we can get through their pressure and not get punished with the extra handball.

 

[GWS Goose]

I think we'll get a couple good runs at them, we need to put it on the board just like we did there.
Despite a couple late. Great quarter and very nic to be in front at halftime

 

[Giant Strides]

Similar to last week, the two Lachies have the most disposals and metres gained. Our counterattack is revolving around them. Toby Greene

3 goal assists is being influential up front. But taking a bath in the contest - have to step up that aspect. We're compensating with our pressure game, but can't continue to lose clearances so badly, or it will cost us the game.

 

[BarryAglett]

...but can't continue to lose clearances so badly, or it will cost us the game.

Yes - it's becoming a "thing" lately.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Kingsley’s pick of Aleer is looking good. Aleer is leading with 10 spoils so far - more than double the next best player in this metric

 

[Adam Giant]

Centre clearances bloodbath. I don’t how we’re leading this game.

 

[Section226]

I would rather team mates encourage Cadman to go for goal 50m out than the short pass.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

VFL Umpires also being influenced by the crowd..how is that a kick for Carlton :-(

 

[sydney_gws]

We need to lift again

 

[Drummond]

Really need to stop this momentum now.

 

[GWS Goose]

Not a good quarter, but we are being belted by the umps

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Kingsley needs to do something to motivate our boys in the last quarter - doesn’t help that in addition to playing a fired up Carlton and Curnow, we are battling a vocal confident home crowd and biased incompetent umpires who are letting the crowd influence their decision making at crucial moments.

C’Mon Giants

 

[Giant Strides]

That's a killer, missing that shot on the bell. Needed that to arrest the Blues' momentum, and get some good vibes back for the last break.

Combination of losing clearances outright, umps handing Blues the upper hand with penalties while giving us nothing, missing some connections and turning it back over to the Blues, and just not being able to defend Curnow/McKay/TDK - basically 6 goals straight to them in that quarter.

 

[Section226]

The clearances / midfield have been a problem for a while but today, the Giants are being badly exposed.

Does Briggs need a break???

 

[Giant Strides]

Nup, we've lost this. How did we leave someone free in the F50 there?

 

[Simmofreo]

That’s the ballgame peeps

Callaghan 's depth perception is a worry.

His kicks across the field to a team mate supposedly in the clear get intercepted or at least spoiled.

Hand passes to team mates under extreme pressure.

I was almost going to make a thread on him. I still might. Where’s he at and what’s his future? I was sure he was going to be a gun. Still should be. But he’s not quite coming in as quickly as I thought.
