Autopsy 2023 Rd 16 Blues don't give a ruck but thrash Hawks anyway

[NavySteel]

But

Not really with the extra game 12.5 won't be enough so the seasons over and were simply playing for next year at this point.

Be nice to build some form and confidence through the back end of the season though

14.5 will…

 

[Curnowhan]

Excellent win today- we put them to the sword in the first half when it counted. On to next week (hopefully with Weiters in the side)

 

[Blueballs38]

Boys are finally showing all we give a **** about …. Pride in the jumper.

 

[JustaBattler]

Remember 3 weeks ago when people said hawks had gone ahead of us?

Arent you glad you wised up enough to jump off the nuffie train?

 

[NavySteel]

JSOS massively undersized brilliant effort doff my hat to you mate close to our best.

Was everywhere.

One of the best utility games I’ve ever seen from him

Not for the ladder, we screwed that already, how we shape the game plan and list going forward.

Great team effort, selfless stuff all around. Harry huge. Cripps, Walsh, Cerra all outstanding. Martin and cunners make us much more dangerous forward of centre.

Want to see them back it up against some serious sides. Hopefully this is the start of the “real” Carlton.

Let’s see if he’ll do enough over the next month to get a contract extension.

Next week will be a good, solid test. Freo is a much side at home and has an excellent ruck duo. If we can get TDK/Pitto back and maintain the selfless footy, we are looking like we did in the first half of last year

 

[Accidental genius]

Imagine how much we would have won by if Paddy Dow played!!!!

Not sure if taking the piss but it’s so unfortunate he can’t be part of it.

Solid win but the most pleasing aspect was the intent, pressure and selfless acts as a team. Enough numbers at the contest, then surrounding each contest with extra numbers

The inclusion of more contested types, many with more speed has been crucial

Forgetting the names but the blend of ball winners, xfactor and role players seems very balanced at the moment

Will be interesting if Young and or Jsos remain in the side if Pitto and or TDK are ready to return

I never thought the hawks were ahead of us, in any scenario.

We are a mid range side, who were really out of form.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Very nice.

Everyone played their part, systems worked & we linked well.

Can’t even guess the last time we beat Hawthorn by 10 goals.

 

[Wickzki]

Corresponding game last year we give the Hawks that window in the third and they make a game of it.

Finally seeing the improvement we hoped for.

Go Blues.

Team looks well balanced.

Like fog in the team.

Young in back line is a bit of a concern.

Young = head-lit deer.

They were, players finally decided to play for the jumper and their pride!

Dropping him might have lit his fire.

 

[carlton_99]

Great win. 86 tackles despite dominating the ball is seriously impressive. Very good performances across the board. Hopefully onwards and upwards

 

[FoeverBlues]

Love the small combination of Martin, Cunners, Fog and Owe

Shows we can use young in a kind of JSOS Jack of all trades (Lewis of all trades) role.

 

[Red Bull]

Nice to have the variety of some clever, skilled mid sized forwards available.
Too little too late i fear but i guess winning whenever you can is better than losing …

THIS.

We've looked much better with the current forward mix.

Fisher Durdin & Motlop way too small to contest overhead and lay tackles.

I think Durdin & Motlop are competing for Owies spot. Fisher can play ressies until we ship him off west.

Martin is dangerous. Fog actually tackles. Cunners did some good things early (quiet late) and deserves a month to find form.

Certainly never looked like the game was getting away from us. Maintained control just about the whole game.

Awww the babies in the huddle.

Very sweet rendition of the song.

Exit sweet babies - enter ravenous beasts

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

Great win by the club. Beat Fremantle or at least really give our all next week and I may believe we are back to our best or close to.

That's the best game Cripps has played for a long long time and we look light years better with him at his best (not surprisingly so).

Cunningham we just need to pray he can stay on the park. He's the X factor we need.

I think Hawks were 20-4 hit outs at one stage. Down 7 goals to nil. Can we finally all agree rucks are overrated in the actual art of rucking, you are better off with a player that can mark and link up around the ground.
