Autopsy 2023 Rd 20 Blues beat flag favourites and move into the 8

[ferrisb]

From having the worst wings in the AFL just a year ago to this...

 

[Ezayyak]

Being at the ground you can see how much the team has matured. When the pies would launch their counterattacks off half back, you notice down the ground that the players were not going sucked into the next contest. They left it to the players in the vicinity to deal with. The defence would get into position.

Time and time again the Pies would charge off half back but then were forced to slow down because we had plugged all possible holes in our back half. They very rarely got any overlap once they got it past the centre.

Our defence has been magnificent and the continuity off having a back 6 play together is making a massive difference.

 

[The Sultan]

What was with the call out to March bank during the speaches… have I missed something ?

 

[BlueTongue]

Geez the AFL site has no idea re our bests. Moore named as their best while Charlie isn’t mentioned. No clue.

Wow - that is classic.
Despite having the number 6 next to his name, directly above the 'Best', you'd think winning the Dick Pratt medal might shed some light on his game...

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Been critical of Kemp, and while he had some suspect moments, thought he had a much better defensive mindset

Great sign of growth

I thought he was average tonight, pretty much all of the many marks the filth took contested or marked in their forward line he was very near to have an influence

Every time it matters we come out on top.

Millenium match

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Oli Hollands made the softest of errors early and showed what sort of a kid he is and smashed in not only for the rest of the game but for 3 possessions straight away.
He is made of the right stuff.

is my most frustrating player. I love his grouseness like tonight but I wanna see it sooooooo much more often. He is THE difference between us being a maybe to look the truck out.

Wonderful showing. We got them grabbing at us instead of running over the ground like untouchables. Moore/Murphy grabbed out of fear because Charles is DA MAN.

One last shout. Nic Newman

Ventured to the Dark Side and told them what I thought........

Expect to be 'sentenced' but just couldn't let some campaigner crap on without any retort. Had the temerity to call us "laughing stocks", I reminded him the 2 flags in 60 years didn't give him the right to the moral high ground......

Campaigners everywhere

 

[Blue Reaper]

Dow made some poor decisions with the ball, but, best defensive intent I have seen in some time

Well done paddy

Took a little bit to get used to the tempo and intensity of the contest, but seemed to find his groove after his first few disposals. Contributed well.

They haven't beaten us in a GF since 1910......

was terrific yet again. Puts on blocks for Charlie, directs traffic in the forward line. Has been awesome since his return.

2nd bog, brilliant game.

I rarely worry about outcome short term, to me it's more about mindset which translates longterm

Kemp still struggled with positioning, but did have a defensive first mindset

stepping up to the plate in the midfield in the absence of Bam Bam and Walsh was crucial tonight.

And clearly is one of the most liked and popular guys and club man after the game with the special presentation after his 150th game.

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Newman is a STAR.

Anyone with an opposing view is incorrect in the way they think.

 

[windows1]

Has anyone given Concetta appropriate credit? Guy worked his arse off. Kept the clamps on Mcreaery. He didn’t get out the back once. Sensational.

 

[Osc1]

I derived immense satisfaction viewing that game.

 

[ctwenty1]

What was with the call out to March bank during the speaches… have I missed something ?

Yeah-has been struggling to play for us for the past four seasons or so due to injury. So just acknowledging the fact he got on the park

 

[Manhattanite]

The author also didn’t put Charlie in her best.

Not only didn’t have Charlie in our best 6 but had Moore as their best

The fact that he’s again come back from injury. They did the same when Cuners came back. But they all clearly love Marchy.

Great win and I relieved a mouthy Pies supporter who's as tight as two coats of paint of 100 bucks, I enjoyed him congratulating me through gritted teeth.

It was the official "Alternate dimension where Charlie didn't play" bests

Edit: They've changed it now. Still have Moore as Pies best though .....

 

[Stamos]

My highlight of the first half was Motlops tackle on Cameron. Game was as hot as * and the guy who’s not noted for his steel drags down a wilderbeast front on.

Also a lowlight.
You can't get a more blatant holding the ball free kick, but the maggots let it go.
