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

[NavySteel]

At the game and the incident occurred up the other end from where I was.
Was there anything in the Hawkins/Weitering incident that sent weiters from the field with the blood rule?

Looked like an eye gouge on replay

 

[TerryWallet]

Still have to slap myself that Cowan is only just 18 (and 3 months).

He's so feckin powerful for his age!

Reliable too. Hardly made a mistake back there in 2 big games on the G. Such an impressive beginning for him.

Remarkably, i think Vossy would already have him penned in, not pencilled. He seems comfortable out there and to not be a little liability in these games is outstanding stuff.

Great work by Austin to pinch him for only a flat future 2nd. Should be a late 2nd too.

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

Crikey haven't we found one in Ollie Hollands. love this bloke. effort. awareness . skill. tank. etc etc.
(kick a goal son!) Just a great great get. premiership player.

anyway good win. absorbed the pressure as vossy said. needed to get that worked out now and start pulling away from teams when in positions to do so.

Richmond actually didnt impress me a great deal (crows will em touch em up) so this game had me concerned but now we know where we're at .

and to think Walsh comes back.

Saad? take a bow.

 

[The Dochs in]

Tried to spoil his face …

Tried to spoil through the back of docs head as well. Is a bit “clumsy” is hawkins…

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Whatever Geelonk are paying Jezza Cameron it’s a bargain

His kicking for goal is unbelievable, particularly from outside 50, all in clutch moments. Worth every penny.

 

[branedotorg]

My highlight was all the times Hollands tackled stanley/sdk/blicavs, not in the same weight class, like one of those tiny dogs that thinks it's a wolf.

Stuck 'em reasonably well too, for a 2nd game twig.

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 unlock the thread, go in and get it out.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Yes. On TV. For the sponsors.

Like I said. The AFL is the AFL.

No. The media paid $4.5 billion for the rights. Pretty much our whole wage bill is paid by the distribution that we get directly from this.

I think that it's fantastic that we get some Thursday and Friday night games where the whole country is watching us. There will be plenty of Saturday and Sunday games as well so everyone will get the opportunity to see us.

 

[JustaBattler]

Nice win.

I've lived in Brisbane since 1980. I've probably escaped your grift.

Did you see the Saints live during the occupation of the Bjelkes?
That’s something !

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Durdin is a star in the making.

Don't thank me but I fixed it for you.

I didn't, but I did see Jailhouse Rock at Boggo Road.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Night all, happy for ya’s, but really stoked for Vossy, he really enjoyed that, he tried to play that scenario out last week and got smacked in the last 30 seconds, he has a plan and I’m gunna back him in!

 

[JustaBattler]

A bit worried that McGovern seems to have forgotten how to mark a football.

Not sure if rusty, low on confidence or simply exhausted with a newborn baby.

But would like to see his sticky mitts return ASAP.

he took a couple of clutch marks in the 3rd and 4th quarters - the worst thing he did was listen to Docherty calling for the ball and kick it straight to Cameron ....

 

[F_therest]

Great to see Ed back in the side and having a real impact.

He was cleaner than most below his knees when the pressure was at its highest - provided important vet leadership.

I don't know if Ed ever gets beaten in a contest...

OK obviously he does sometimes, but geez I feel so safe when he's in a contest these days, he typically either wins the contest and gets the ball out or sticks the tackle. Always in our top few for distance covered as well.

I’m in!

 

[windows1]

Hollands looking at Cameron, and then still putting himself in front and spoiling for the ball. Oh my goodness, what a player we have found. Really warms your heart. Love him so much already

Has the same inherent problem that his idol S Walsh has……

Needs to try HARDER.

 

[F_therest]

Yeah, the beauty of that "get in front of Cameron play" by Ollie was how it was natural and no fuss. He didn't have to steel himself and just go because "he had too this time". He just did it so naturally. And did last week too.

Oh, and his running power is just awesome. He and Walshy are gonna give us so much as a tandem.

Every time the coverage shows distance covered in the 2 games this year Hollands has been no.1 in the game...incredible for a 1st year player, must be extremely gifted aerobically.

Love it, I want to see a Carlton team full of run and overwhelming the opposition.

 

[Mondyboy]

Durdin had the best 2 possession first half in the history of the AFL. His pressure set the tone.

His goal was freakish, but also reward for the work he’d done to that point.

Amazing that he’s not played a preseason match. He looked so fresh.

Anyway… Ollie Hollands. Loved him from the moment I saw him play in the Vic Metro / Vic Country final. My love has not abated. He is a gun.

Hollands played his role.... one wing covered.

 

[Osc1]

I’m genuinely impressed. That was fantastic. Overcoming our weak spots in one week.

And that third quarter was just

 

[windows1]

Very impressed with the work of Austin and his team.
Plucked Young Boyd and Acres for virtually nothing.
Durdin Motlop and Cowan for second rounders.
Then there’s Hollands … yeah

Hewitt

 

[jpfalvo]

Great win.

Hollands put his body in the way and came up trumps. 2 weeks in a row. Just love.

Harry was huge on the wing. Big marks. Acres earnt his dollars as well

I think pittonet was a huge in. Midfield heartbeat.

My favourite moment of the night was in the third quarter and they put up the distance run statistics.

It showed Hollands at 10.7km (or something).

BUT HE WAS NUMBER ONE.

Full on close up of Ollie Hollands.

AND HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS JUST WALKING IN THE PARK, NOT EVEN A SWEAT.

This man is a beast, desire and capability all wrapped up in one.
