4th on the ladder

How good Charlie

#PCRIPPS3VOTES

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Charlie really hitting his straps now, outright 2nd in the Coleman and not only kicking goals but providing an aerial threat just outside forward 50.

#1 for goals, score involvements and MG
#2 for inside 50’s

But most importantly, we sit 6-2 after 8 rounds of footy a game clear in the TOP FOUR

Love this club

 

[Blue and Blue]

Building nicely.

Carna Blues

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

I can’t remember the last time we were too 4. What a good game. Bring on next week.

 

[Accidental genius]

we bossed them really. eased off a bit in the 4th but hey im very happy with that win.

 

[Beyond Blue]

The boys are starting to play like men.

So many good players today - too many to name - but a big shout out to Boyd…I watched him live a couple weeks ago against Freo and came away thinking he wouldn’t make it at this level but after today I think I might have to admit defeat.

I really hope he can build on it because his use of the ball today on the overlap is exactly what we need to score from D50 which has historically been a problem for us…and just maybe he’s made of the good stuff given what’s he has been through to get to his AFL dream.

We are 6 and ****ing 2….

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Great win
Would have happily taken that margin before the match…
Little disappointing we couldn’t go on with it in the last, looked like the boys had runout a little of petrol tickets…

Just on some of the youngsters and lesser known players for us tonight…

Young continues to get better still a few things to work on, important player for us atm…

Durdin great pressure tackling and turnovers, speed carry and disposal really good,, he’s a player…

Boyd great pressure, one on one very solid, win some important touches and contests at times..

DeKoning great game, terrific work around the ground, linked up well some good taps to advantage…

Carroll he’s so poised doesn’t panic touch of class about him,, going to be a great player…

Wonderful team effort…
Go baggers…

 

[passmark]

I think that was our best performance for the season.
First time I’ve actually thought we wouldn’t be headed after getting 20 points up.
Almost polished.

 

[Markyd]

Cerra was silk, his foot disposal…elite!

 

[Blueballs38]

No, he's just a very limited footballer.

We need far better wings on both sides of the ground. It's a real deficiency in this team at present.

I'd hope we'll start drafting for that position going forward.

I really want LOB to succeed but feel his confidence got shot somewhere along the way (previous coaches) and it’s really limiting him now. He either starts to believe in himself (as Voss has shown great faith in him I think) or eventually someone will overtake him, right now that’s a certainty. That missed goal in the second sort of summed him up for me at this stage.

 

[BeijingBlue]

Solid effort and looks like we ran out of puff in the last. Charlie is a joy to watch, Kennedy was huge and Cripps was, as mentioned above, imperious. Liked Fisher's game and Durdin has a real spark. Not sold on Owies. Good pressure but for a noted basketballer, his marking and hands are a weakness. Just holding his place.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

I've read about how Matthew Kennedy doesn't fit into our midfield, many highlighting his weaknesses while ignoring his strengths.

He is comfortably best 22, hard working mid who is a natural. Beautiful mark and kick.

Loved his game again.

His goal from the boundary was so good!

 

[Healer]

***k Yessss, Go Baggers
Damn that had me reminiscing.
Dominating every line, crushing defence, surgical attack and lots of individual brilliance.
Lids off, I'm getting my swagger out and dusting it off.

 

[Mondyboy]

The last quarter wasn’t great, but frankly everything else was magnificent. Hard to be upset about that unless you’re a perfectionist or a curmudgeon

How dare Charles take votes away from Crippa!

Blues 6 wins & 2 losses
Fourth on the ladder…

Any chance you can enjoy the win.

Oh we’re 4th on the ladder btw.

 

[Mondyboy]

Adelaide kicked cheap goals against GWS as well in the last. That’s apparently their game plan.

[JuddgementDay]

That was a solid win.

I thought pre-game, we are likely to win by 6 goals.

In the end we won by 48 points…
And yet, that’s a tad disappointing - I’m sure Vossy would agree - we want MOAR

Apart from that.
Six and two - finals bound baby!!!

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Getting strong Paul 'Molly' Meldrum vibes about Jordan Boyd

I really want LOB to succeed but feel his confidence got shot somewhere along the way (previous coaches) and it’s really limiting him now. He either starts to believe in himself (as Voss has shown great faith in him I think) or eventually someone will overtake him, right now that’s a certainty. That missed goal in the second sort of summed him up for me at this stage.

If he had angled out a bit more away from the goal before kicking that, he would have nailed it. I do think that he needs to start learning how to kick with his right though. Fish has been working on, he doesn't do it often, but he is getting that into his library of skills.

How I learnt how to kick on my left was just muscle memory training. Learning to drop the ball with your opposite hand, the learning to connect to the ball. Then kicking it 5m, 10m, 20m... and so on. It did sort of help that I am about 60/40 ambidexterous

 

[Mr_Plow]

Great stuff, bullied a vastly inferior team. Charlie dominant, Cripps too strong, Cerra silk.

74 inside 50s for our score is a little disappointing, we just don't generate enough from our crumbers.

Otherwise, a very strong performance all round.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Love the dual threat Curnow provides. Competitive and strong in the air, deadly on the ground.

Thought De Koning was really good today. Reckon he’s worked really hard at his game and it’s starting to show.

Overall our tackling pressure was outstanding, we were just relentless suffocating them around the ball.

 

[BigBreakfast]

How good is to be a Blue Bagger right now! Years of pain making this oh so sweet.

Great leadership, Cripps and Doch in particular are killing it!

Tall and small forwards mixing it up.

Backline solid if not spectacular and supported by pressure up the ground.

Plenty going through the midfield and contributing, youngsters shining too.

Gravy players to finish off the hard yards

Grit players doing plenty of hard yards.

Feel like some zip and silk are there, might be a growth area.

Onwards and upwards.

4th with a bullet. Hard to miss finals now…

 

[Michael Jezz]

Great win
Almost our first 4 qtr performance in many years
Outstanding performance from our bottom 10 players: Newnes, Fisher, Boyd, Cottrel etc.
More love for Matt Kennedy please

 

[Wickzki]

Good enough.

Thought it'd be another potential danger game.

Good win.

Top 4.

Bring it on.
