Autopsy 2023 Rd 2 Blues hold on to beat the reigning premier

[CCurnow3votes]

I have spent several hours today writing my preview for the Giants game next week. It was in draft in the preview thread for the Geelong game. Now I can't access it. Can a mod help me please???

I’ll write it for you.

Blues win…

 

[Beyond Blue]

Just so glad we won after James Brayshaw said Geelong had a strangle hold on the game when they took a 9 point lead in the second quarter.

 

[Gethelred]

I don’t wanna see Martin back until he actually shows something. He would be a good sub but we need 4 quarter players

Durdin for Martin is the difference between the sides.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Hollands wants it

Thrives on the contest, the last QTR contest and spoil running back with the flight of the ball is what you hope/dream of what your players stand up for…
Already earned a ton of respect from us fans and teammates already…

Not enough love for acres game tonight. 26 touches and 11 marks, worked his ass off and took a couple contested marks too. Ball use isn’t his one wood but rarely loses a one on one and like George works through contact to always find a handball out. Really impressed with his response from last week.

The amount of times Newman made a bad situation into a good one was astonishing a phenomenal game.

Gave Rohan an absolute bath too. Had a great game

 

[The Toad]

This wasn't a 4 point game on the ladder, or the old 8 point game. It was a 20 point game in terms of what it means to our belief should the same situation present itself again. It shows we do have the game to win big matches. We have improved.

How dare you post sensible, intelligent stuff on here. WTF is wrong with you???

 

[Sam The Doc]

Ooooooooooohhhhh YESSSSSS

 

[Smegger]

Once again Hollands and Cowan fitted right in at AFL level. Remarkable efforts. Hollands played like a 150 gamer tonight!

Saad was a firestarter.
TDK's second efforts were fantastic, tackling hard.
JSOS leading hard to the contest.
Charlie's come alive!
Harry's marking in the last was sensational.
Crippa doesn't look 100% but battled on as usual. Tough as.


If last week was flat, tonight was high gloss. So proud of the team's sustained efforts. Still a few to hit full fitness/form for Ultra.

Durdin for Martin is the difference between the sides.

Durds runs in straight lines over & over again - Martin in 30 second bursts. Loving Durdins work

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Vossy talking about having genuine forward pressure being the difference this week. Wants it to be a staple of our gameplan.

"There was never a monkey on our back"

Speaks well Crazy Vossy

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Changed the title. Voss reckons there was never a monkey on their back. That's my supporter perspective. I'm going to back Vossy in here.

Quick caveat that Geelong were clearly not firing on all cylinders tonight, but glad we fought it out. Best game I've seen Kennedy play, and McKay put up midfielder numbers covering the ground tonight.

Charlie, Durdin and Motlop bringing the attacking power tonight, with Owies getting on the end a bit to finish. Still have my concerns with his mobility, but you can see that he's making good decisions.

Two rucks clicked into place for us late as a screen for McKay to take a few grabs, but otherwise it's going to require TDK picking up a lot of forward craft to account for the heavy legs he's have after centre bounce work. Pittonet was more mobile than I've seen for a while, but he was also far more selective. Balance isn't right there.

Docherty's fitness is a little bit of a worry to me, and it immediately drags down his disposal by foot. Hope he can iron it out. Newman still probably the first defender I'd replace, but like Owies still making good decisions... just rarely hurts the opposition when he does so.

Grain of salt with this result, but happy we got the win.

Ah jimmae...Newman has been rock solid both games. He's tough and locks away a forward. I don't recall any mistakes by foot.

Key cog of our backline.

Love this photo so much, two kids that look like their 16 going out there and competing against men. Hollands running back with the flight with Jeremy Cameron

bearing down behind him and he spoils that contest. Last week, the 2m Tom Lynch in a similar situation.

late was epic. We held on. Far from perfect at the end. But, against the reigning premiers, without 2 of our best midfielders, take the W and go from there. Without Jeremy Cameron

, we would have won that by 10 goals. He was ridiculous.
Still, great win against formidable opposition.

 

[NavySteel]

Walsh will explode out of the blocks when they let him off the leash - put him down for 40.

I forgot we had now hewett or Walsh.

Wow!

Ollie hollands effort infront of Cameron

Wants it

 

[CCurnow3votes]

How great to see the team play two distinctly different styles over two weeks - very defensive last week. Frantic & take it on this week.

 

[Wickzki]

Changed the title. Voss reckons there was never a monkey on their back. That's my supporter perspective. I'm going to back Vossy in here.

Great mentality. Proud of that belief

 

[BARGE ARSE]

Thought the tandem ruck was very beneficial, including Pitto getting a career high three marks.

Hope this becomes the norm going forward.

 

[ferrisb]

Yeah, it's mid-round 2 but IDGAF!
