Autopsy 2022 Rd 7 Blues down the Roos by 50

[F_therest]

We changed our game plan after 1/2 time. Move the ball quick and look inboard

So good to see us finally look to go through the corridor or switch to the open side...and we looked great. Lets hope it continues.

Also reckon it was clear the whole game that our defenders were attempting to roll off their opponent and get a third man up to spoil/intercept. Saw a lot of that tonight, Young in particular was great with his intercepts. Think our defenders had become a bit reactive in the last 3 or so weeks, just worrying about their man but tonight they were proactive.

Lot to be said about how we finally crushed a team, and a bogey team, no less.

Even more to be said about Saad, Cripps, Young, Harry and for me too, some deserved loved for Plow.

Last, but absolutely not least, how about Jack ******* Carroll on debut if you don't mind!

Happy weekend baggers!!!

Good post but not mentioning JSOS must have been a brain fade.

A game we had to win and did it well. TDK is really important and played well tonight.

 

[rp84]

For newnes quite clearly. You'd hope it's not even a discussion. Carroll was so good today. Best Carlton debut since Andy walker (quite likely hyperbole but it was a ripper from Jack).

Newnes was excellent tonight. He ain't going nowhere.

 

[Bobmonkey]

how did stock hurt his shoulder?

The Thomas hip and shoulder.

 

[thylacine60]

Not sure, something with the shoulder, praying to footy gods it's not long term, genuinely haven't been so flat about an injury since judds knee

wut?

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Just checked, Carroll had 95 points in SuperCoach, was rated more effective than Cerra. Traded him in when Hewitt was ruled out, will be keeping him on the ground after that performance.

Picked him up as well. Still got George though, hopefully he will be back for next week.

 

[Rustica]

Plowman still offers something down back. He has experience, will hold his spot for now, especially with Gov out for a while.

We did miss Hewett in the midfield today, he is so underrated. Obrien should never be dropped again, runs, runs and runs. One side of the wing is his now

 

[Mr_Plow]

I'd have Saad in our top 5 players this year. Maybe even top 3. Been superb.

Top 3. Cripps, Saad and Hewett.

I don't want to be so sanctomonious,
I don't want to be such a negative jerk,
But I don't think VFL is good for you....Carrol

Yeaahh! One of the great Aus rock n roll songs. Gosh he looked good did young Jack.

Good win, lot of good contributors.

Don’t underestimate Plows game either.

Helped Young’s game no end.

Yep. Handing out milk bottles and pineapples like it's 1984.

Not sure Plow should have been dropped from 1s. Trust him more than Williams.

 

[sosos]

Those second half forward 50 entries were a dream come true.

More of this please.

The amount of times he was burned when he was in the clear on his favoured side.

Fairly frustrating grrr

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Plow wad excellent. One of the best games I've seen him play

It's a weird thing, but he sells candy like few other players.

 

[rp84]

Very happy with the win but not particularly thrilled about facing that crows forward line on the rebound next week with our tendency to play Swiss cheese football.

Jones and Plow made a pretty good defensive team last year. Hopefully Young and Plow can form a good defensive pairing. Once Weiters got over his yips, our back half settled down and Plow and Young were very impressive.

 

[Foucault1989]

Top 3. Cripps, Saad and Hewett.

Docherty would be close as well

 

[JustaBattler]

Any win against that mob is a great win. Carroll announcing himself as a player almost makes up for the disappointment of Stocker's injury ( but at least he gave a good one to get get it) Young's big block on Zurhaha was a nice watch - a bit more of that and he gets added to my mongrel list tick box.

The forward line that kicked 3 goals to 3/4 time vs GWS?

 

[sosos]

What I like most is that we buried them.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Docherty would be close as well

Very close. Saad's ability to literally not lose a contest and superior ball use has him slightly ahead for me.

Yeah I certainly wouldn't argue against that. Saad is a sensational footballer

 

[Beyond Blue]

It was very nice to have a comfortable win as it’s a sign the team is learning how to handle expectation of winning after years of losing.

Obviously the second half was a lot better than the first half in particular with how we played without the ball.

Saad, Cripps and Doc were outstanding, a great return game from MK and it was also very pleasing to see the likes of Young, Fisher and Martin play well.

Roll on next week.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

I'll happily take that. You can count on one hand the number of times we've beaten them by 4 goals or more since the early 1980s.

Given Dad played for North it's sad to see them fielding a side with so many non-AFL grade players.

No it’s not

What’s the word on Stocks?
