Autopsy 2022 Round 14 Slow starting Blues have disappointing loss

[morningbrown]

Boyd, Saad, Doc, Walsh, Hewett, Cotts, Fish all excellent. The rest were average to very poor. Shocking umpiring but we were crap for 2 and a half quarters.

Really up against it to even make finals with the way the ladder is looking and the games we have to come.

 

[__Bobcat__]

Gutsy effort baggers.

 

[ferrisb]

Boyd's best game so far (in his short Carlton career)?

Thought he was really good one-on-one, clean off the ground and made good decisions when other players were panicking...

 

[Roksman]

You guys did well to hang in there given we had 76 inside 50's.

Funny that the narrative all week was that Carlton's defence would get stretched yet they held up well given the circumstances - was actually lost in the clearances, Carlton smashed there surprisingly.

Good chance we meet in the finals? Wouldn't bet against it.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Saad is the best. Chuck out the rest.

 

[BlueTang]

Do we know what happened to Durdin? Any chance they just fudged it to get the sub on?

Nope, he went down holding it in the third in the pocket

 

[BlueGum]

Reckon system and effort won it tonight, Carlton too niaive in the wet in the first half

Half a season v 8 years. Our system needs a bit more drilling. Getting there.

 

[SolGoodman]

I don't usually like to, nor complain about the umps, but they genuinely felt shit tonight.

Boyd and Saad brilliant for mine, Doc too.

On to next week.

Cant afford to let any team kick the first 6 goals. Tigers handled the conditions a lot better tonight.

Few of our players would want to have that game back.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

efforts there, need a couple players back and to sort a few structural things out but I’m as confident as ever that we can be contenders with a fit list.

 

[BlueTongue]

First hand shaken after the final siren, Lynch shaking an umps hand.

 

[__Bobcat__]

Windscreens can piss right off

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

Considering the wet condition totally suited Tigers, & umpire decisions against us, & us over using the handballs & our injuries list.
We could have won this game if we kicked all the gettable goals. At least 3 - 4 easy set shots missed.

With close to our full strength side we beat them easy.
Oh well, on to next week.

 

[SolGoodman]

Oh and hope karma hits Bolton hard. #flog

Likely to be 8th on the ladder by the end of this weekend after that loss - feeling pretty gutted.

Anyone know how serious was Durdin’s injury btw?

 

[DangerousD]

Missed most of the game, the loss is disappointing, our manner in which we payed in the last 10 or so minutes lacked composure, several instances we rushed, played on from bad positions and were frantic like it was the last 2 minutes, in these instances there were 5 or more minutes on the clock.

Regardless of getting close, Richmond always seemed to have more players at the contest, I just saw their inside 50 numbers which were huge.

A solid second half but lost to a better side.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

The positive take away is that Boyd, Cottrell and LOB look like players now.

Too bad they aren’t 15cm taller though!

I reckon the Cerra out hurts us more than we believe, he allows us to forward handball and outnumber at ground level because he sets up so well on the back of his work rate.

Young stood up massively in the 3rd and 4th - not only nullifying Lynch’s impact but getting plenty of the footy himself and being generally good with ball in hand.

Our injury list is deplorable and it hurts to see us lose to a team I genuinely believe we are better than. That’s footy though.

Full credit to the Tigers they pressured us and made us cough it up in dangerous positions over and over again. Didn’t need to work as hard as our hardest workers because they worked better as a unit.

I’m angry at Weiters for that stupid unnecessary bump.
I’m angry at the AFLs stupid Covid protocols that cost us Jones.
I’m angry at Fisher for doing bugger all for his best mates milestone.
I’m angry at our coaches for not getting them to play smarter wet weather footy.
I’m angry that Curnow played a stupid stupid game.
I’m angry that the umpires pull continuos inconsistent crud out of their arse.
I’m angry that we have LOB, Martin being gifted games and don’t put in enough.
I’m angry that the score review th is that was touched with clear definitive purpose.
I’m angry that we may miss finals.

 

[slowhand clape]

We’ll beat Freo and the Saints.

 

[Blueballs38]

If that Newnes kick wasn’t touched we would have won … footy gods hate us. Big Durdin knee injury and a tiggers goal shortly after.

We just can’t cop a break! I’m trying to be the bigger man but RFC did get the rub of the green with the umps tonight, we started like rubbish but just when Newnes scored that “goal” all I could think was geez I’m proud of these boys. ****ing BRAVE! * take note that’s what brave looks like … we showed it in ample parts tonight.

**** the injury gods!

Anyone know what happened to big Durds?

 

[smlz]

We didnt adjust to the conditions in the 1st quarter and that pretty much set the tone for the night.

Thought the backline did about as well as they good considering.

Boyd outstanding

 

[ESKIE]

I’m feeling angry

 

[I bleed Blue]

All the momentum was sucked away from us when Newnes kicked was touched then went coast to coast for a goal for them.

We run away with it if that wasn't touched I reckon.

 

[Warsaw]

The replay on Fox - that wasn't touched.

****ing screwed over.

Ok. But kept playing for a bit? Subbed off in the last.
