Autopsy 2022 Rd 10 Blues and heart surgeons rejoice. Carlton beat Swans

[Benaly28]

Ralphy spoke to Lloyd who confirmed McKay will be back within the original 6 week timeframe given. Not a 10 - 14 week injury.

Harry who?

Wow bloody wee!! Finally out of Marvel and the streets are mayhem with Blues supporters going off their nut!
Toughed it out to the end and blew the lid off the stadium after the siren.
We're the real deal people!
Well done Baggers

Think someone has to gently tell mots if he's going burn teammates he has to score.

Love his energy and enthusiasm, especially after that bit hit early on.

He's played 2 games... not burning your team mates will come with experience.

I think Cottrell is the kind of player that is going to grow on me like Dennis Armfield did.

We finally fixed our KPD shortage.

Cottrell to CHB!!!

Harry who?

Dr Harry.

Need to diagnose the underdogs.

 

[KnobHead]

Disagree.. still making poor decisions and can run the kms but not hard enough or physical enough when required. He makes 4-5 stupid decisions a game and often puts a teammate in unnecessary heat.

What were the 4 or 5 stupid decisions?

Maybe it’s just me, but have been watching football for a long time and apart from Bruce Doull, I see players make mistakes every game.

LoB was very good tonight. He competed hard in the air and made a couple of smothers. Presented particularly well in the last quarter and didn’t mess around with clearing kicks from a high pressured Swans forward line.

**** how good was the crowd and atmosphere??

I watched on TV, but was spine tingling hearing the crowd yell 'BAALLLL' every time a Carlton player laid a tackle...especially in the second quarter.

Atmosphere was fierce, would have felt very hostile for the Swans.

Confidence is so important for younger players, and it's significant that TDK was able have such a strong late influence in a hard-fought win.

Will be huge for his sense of belonging and self-belief going forward (as will that beautiful goal from the pocket). Might just start putting it together consistently now, and almost certain to take mark of the year in the next week or two.

He'd already had a huge game at three-quarter-time. Embarrassed Hickey and Ladhams. And then he laid that unbelievable final quarter on top.

For me, De Koning is the biggest thing to come out of tonight's game - he is totally unrecognisable from the kid that Goldstein smashed less than 12 months ago.

 

[Aphrodite]

Well... he asked for it!

Declined

I really liked the game from Cottrell.
However….
Twice that I saw tonight he turned his back to the ball at bad times. Once was in the defensive goal square and we got away with that one.
The other was when the swans picked off that Durdin kick. There were two blues to one swans defender. Cottrell and Silvagni, I think, so the switch was on. Cottrell turns his back to the kicker and the defender is able to hedge because Cottrell is no longer a chance to get it. Not the best kick from Durdin and it is chopped off and run away for a goal. If Cottrell keeps his eyes on the game, stays engaged and remains an option he makes the Swans player choose him and the poor kick has more chance of still getting to SOS. Others might not have seen it that way but it’s something I noticed. Just reckon it’s a small game awareness thing that he can fix. It’s very nit picky but I think it played a part in an opposition goal and could’ve cost another.

I know it's been mentioned in one way or another, but when the time comes, how do you fit McKay, Marchbank, Martin, McGovern, Williams, plus Cuningham Pittonet, Honey etc into the best 23....

 

[Beyond Blue]

Cerra 13.. never in the game tonight. Needs to get involved more but it is a red hot midfield

He played his role keeping their top liner midfielders from getting off the leash.
You don’t always have to fill the stats sheet to contribute.

Being tossed into the crucible has forged him and lifted his game. Since Pitto went down, Tom has started to really step up.

And... a beneficial side effect of Pitto going down, was the throwing of JSOS into the ruck. He might get outpointed in the air... but when the ball hits the ground... he turns into a midfielder. Just like Kreuzer used to do!

I didn't do it... I might have thought about it as a joke.

It's funny how Charlie is the best tall forward AND small forward in the league at the same time...

Fish with the mutha ******* sealer! Yew!

Keeps kicking clutch goals. In very good form at the moment!

 

[katmanblue]

I felt like we were trying to go too quick in the 3rd and 4th. There was no structure up forward. Playing on from a mark or free kick meant we got into trouble and invariably turned it over.
