Autopsy 2022 Rd 13 Blues rain on Bomber's parade - 'Sheedy blames AFL for brave loss and demands an apology'

[Blue1980]

Very concerned about the wording here. Not sure about the general clientele on here and whether anyone would like to be involved in said orgy.

Well it will be the whole supporter base in general

 

[BigFrizz36]

Well it will be the whole supporter base in general

Thank God for that.

Feel indifferent about this game. Won, but should've won by 10 goals. We put the cue in the rack halfway through the third and are very lucky we weren't playing a decent team. Voss had every right to bake them at 3 qtr time and the fact it got not response was a little concerning.

Cripps overplayed a couple of times but I don't blame him. Trying to spark something in a very flat second half but nothing popped up.

On the other side, we did win. McKay looked great.

Doc was very good, as was Saad.

Not much to say about this game really. Take the win but understand it's not a great one. In a way that's a positive as the last few yrs any kind of win was huge. Can't wait for us to learn how to play with a lead and put teams away, we're still clearly very uncomfortable playing in front.

The weather is looking miserable and yet I have a positive glow about me - do you guys feel the same? Why’s that

Finals bound baby!!!

the smell of cut grass and 5,000 watching training

She has the same eye condition as one of my best mates. His got about 10% vision, and only in black and white. So he goes for Collingwood. His parents sent him to normal school so he learnt how to survive without special consideration. We hardly ever remember he is blind, despite the fact he’s often called a blind campaigner.

Umpire is he?

 

[branedotorg]

I won’t enter the debate as I consider it pointless, but they are remarkably similar

Sam is missing the all important falling off a stage after winning a premiership KPI

 

[Aphrodite]

Or alternatively

"Sheedy blames afl for * brave loss and demands an apology"

Request granted.

 

[Uncle Fester]

I think my kids learned some new words when fish dropped stringer. great for us, but ye gods could you imagine the horror for * supporters watching that.?

 

[Uncle Fester]

He’s better than Peter dean. Sorry to disappoint you old heads but he is

Sorry mate. lets agree they are equals. Deano was a remarkable footballer, as is Doch

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Arguably the most complete game I've seen Newman play and provided great support to Docherty by providing another outlet from D50.
Doc would have to bordering on AA selection.
Hewett & Kennedy might not be the most fashionable players, but they're both bloody tough.
Tried to play like billionaires after half time rather than play percentage footy and really grind the enemy into the turf.

Easily the best game Young has played since coming across. Some of his intercept work was very good and liked the way he worked up the ground. If Sam Durdin

works out, once Weitering comes back I think Young could well be the defensive 3rd tall we've been searching for. Certainly found enough of the ball in the air and off the deck and used it well enough to be able to play that role.

(yeah I know .. did a lot wrong in that time too .. but this was nice!)

 

[katmanblue]

anyone else notice the final quarter (I think) went less than 25 minutes last night?

Was 25 minutes too long. Froze my ass off.

[thylacine60]

I only watched the first half again and even that was the kayo mini...........don't judge me!

 

[Arr0w]

I am labelled a pessimist on here, but a Carlton Premiership is possible maybe not probable. That is a remarkable state given where we have come from. A fit Pittonet, Weitering and no more injuries is the minimum. We will not win a flag without Weiters and Pitto. Voss needs to be brave like Parkin in 82 and put Cerra or Walsh on a wing against a brayshaw type. I suspect Melbourne will pull it together with an MCG premiership a motivating cause. Don't put too much emphasis on 2 midseason losses and a media beat up concerning a resteraunt scuffle. Someone has to play the Dees on the last day in September, and Carlton are as likely as anyone. From there a premiership is possible.

What have you done with the real MJ

 

[My Hat]

Watching the replay on Fox.

Cannot for the life of me workout why Charlie would go for a left foot around the corner set shot, from a slight angle 15 metres out.

Very odd.

He did the same thing a couple of weeks ago from a similar spot and put it through. Personally I don't mind it*. I'm sure he's practicing it every week -- even if it only gets to, say, 80% as accurate as the same action off his right then it'll probably still be more reliable than a right-foot drop punt.

* I reserve the right to change my opinion if he keeps trying and missing...

 

[Juddrockz]

Underrated element of our success in 2022: we're hardly slipping over anymore (Harry's possibly assisted slip last night notwithstanding). If we go far in September I wanna see the boot-studder hoisted up on someone's shoulders and sprayed with champagne

Yeah,seems they have really addressesed the correct boots to wear for the slippery,wet conditions.
The issue has improved out of sight.

 

[Skull Face]

You.make.a.good.point.

I don't know why my fat thumb always hits the . When the spacebar is the biggest button on the screen

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I reckon Cripps had an underrated game. Got tagged and only had 2 possessions in the first quarter when we got smashed in the middle. Turned it around with 26 possessions and 8 clearances in the last 3 quarters. Ended up leading the game for clearances and score involvements plus kicked an important goal. Was massive. I reckon we hold him to a pretty high standard.

Yeah mate... 35+ touches and 3+ goals or bust

 

[F_therest]

Why the hell is this shitshow of a club being handed out all these Primetime slots while sitting 3rd last on the ladder 1 win off last…
WTF AFL… Thought clubs had too earn the right, what’s happened to that..
Should be given the graveyard shift…

Shocking decision that doesn't seem to have any logic.

But think of it this way, I don't think essendon want it either as they'll get embarrassed on prime time TV.

 

[Bluechip66]

Stringer was much like a wombat all night...well padded, a bit agro, not adept at kicking a football.

Apparently eats roots and leaves.

true story!

 

[AlecDuncan]

 

[carltonchelsea]

the respect he shows her - even to the extent of asking her if she would like to talk about her vision rather than speaking on her behalf as if she wasn't there

She appears to be a very intelligent young lady, that’s what I noticed, sometimes hurdles in life aren’t what they seem.
Kudos to Brian and CH7 and the Durdins for allowing us the access!
And yes, I did well up a bit, Corey is a great brother and so obvious in his pride!

 

[GoBlues!]

Hey mod squad. Should the thread title be Blues reign on Bombres's parade?

Or as myblueroan would prefer…Blues rein in Bombers parade.

 

[Ash24]

Not sure if it's already been posted, but how ****ing good is this to see...

 

[marcmurphy3]

Interesting stat I just looked up regarding Young.

Number of games this season with 5+ intercept marks:

4 - Ballard & Collins
3 - Gawn, Adams, Sicily, McGovern, Taylor, Young
2 - Andrews, Stewart, McCartin, Allir, Kelly, May

Not bad company to be in. Also factor in that he missed 3 games.
