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

[footyfan1978]

Feeling pretty damn groovy gang.

Sliced & diced ‘em for a half, took 45 minutes of Foreman body shots, then them knocked out with 2 quick body shots.

TDK’s pack marks in the last, Supreme.

A mighty win.

Near perfect summary.

duck 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.

It was incredible. Best since the final against Tigers.

I love how as an entire club we are still so nervous and learning to win together haha

Not to mention De Koning's effort off the 5 day break. He hung tough against GWS, probably broke even on the day, but Preuss really worked him over physically, around the ground, and he would have woken up sore on Monday morning.

To then come out on the Friday night and play a blinder against a proper ruck-pairing, he's obviously an incredible athlete, but his body and his preparation must be spot-on as well. He seems to be thriving on the extra minutes as first ruck.

The King is looking big these days...really starting to fill out particularly his shoulders and arms.

The best feeling in the world, buy the paper, listen to the radio, sit back relax and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Love ya Blues.

LOB had another important game. What a kick hes got on him,.and increasing confidence too

That kick to fisher was legit crazy!

 

[Blues177]

Anyone know how long since we won 4 in a row?

Round 5 - 8 2016 under Bolton.
Actually won 6 out of 7 games between rounds 5 and 11 including finally beating the cats at Etihad.

Nailed Heeney in a couple of big tackles in the middle. Did his job I reckon. But, as I've said... we can afford to rest him and bring in Dow for the couple of games surrounding the bye. After the bye, we need to be rotating the midfield a bit more to keep them fresh for the finals.

Any calls to drop Cerra are ridiculous. Has played 8 games this year better then Dow has played in his whole career.

I get your thinking but we are way to early into being decent to be "resting" anyone.

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.

2 weeks in a row now he's drilled drop punt goals from the boundary. Opposition coaches will already be scratching their heads about this young ruckman. He is so unorthodox yet fundamentally so sound as well.

Nowhere near the final product but so so promising.

Just wow!

If you told me at the start of the season that we'd be 8 - 2, I would have called you crazy. If you told me we'd be 8 - 2 with the injuries we have, I would have driven you to the asylum and checked you in. What a start to the year!

Crazy atmosphere at Marvel tonight, haven't been to a game that loud in a long time..so good to see everyone up and about.

Fantastic drafting getting Durds in 2020 and Motlop in 2021...both our first picks but they came quite late in the draft.

They will play a lot of games together both are natural small forwards both have anticipation and poise.
Motlop is special he’s hard he’s legs wobbled in the first quarter from a big hit but didn’t go down he was disappointed with his misses because they all looked easy gettable goals not freaky snaps to most they would be freaky snaps he slows time like the great players.Durdin has such great balance always ready to dispose or tackle rarely loses his feet always in the contest.
They are both so young they are just going to improve for years our recruiting is spot on

What's Greg Williams' current role at the club? Nothing mentioned in the club website.

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Cottrell, O'Brien, De Koning and Weitering were the difference in the last quarter.

 

[Bokan]

What's Greg Williams' current role at the club? Nothing mentioned in the club website.

He's on the board as football director - essentially the most hands on board member in regards to actual on field stuff vs off field

good wins these last 2, were winning vs quality down key men

 

[My Hat]

Great win. Lots to like, but I reckon a special shout out is due to Andrew Russell and the high performance team. To be able to play like we did in the second quarter after a 5 day break, and then have enough in reserve to hang tough through the fightback? Yeah, reckon they're doing plenty right.

 

[azlou]

I'm in the same boat. Showing the form we all hoped he could reach but I had basically given up. Good on him, hopefully can keep it up

I could take an oar in that boat great to see

 

[Markyd]

Pitto may need to be worried TDK growing with every game... may be the number one ruckman by years end! Some of his marking tonight was exhilarating.

 

[Blues_1864]

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

Tom McCartin might have thought he was a proper full-back, but tonight he was rudely disabused. Also puts Taylor's performance last week into context.

Really strange that they waited so long to switch over to Rampe - I don't even know what Rampe was doing in the first half. It might have cost them the game. Which is just too bad!

I wonder how many will get this?

Zac Fisher is Elite.

Elittle!

Not even 23 yet. He's 'just a baby' in ruck terms.

Being challenged every week against seasoned opposition and tonight absolutely held his own. Every one of these games is a long term investment, when he'll be destroying opponents in 2-3 years consistently.
