Autopsy 2023 Rd 22 Blues win a thriller. Finals closer.

[RPCB]

Agreed. This win was so good because we have half the team out. Meant a lot that the way we want to play is now understood by all and guys can step in and do their bit.

A lot of our top end players to come back:
Kennedy (not far off)
Walsh (next week?)
McKay
Cerra
SOS
Boyd (VFL)

Weird reaction from me but when I checked the teams and saw that Clayton Oliver was playing, I was happy. Wanted to see how we would fair against a full-strength Melbourne, with us having so many outs.

That's twelve wins this year now. We just need two more wins now to equal our total of fourteen in the 2011 season.

The thing is though that 2011 Carlton team didn't win eight games in a row. We're in a much stronger place as a club right now, than we were back then imo.

They’re brilliant - so are the Dees defensive unit - last night was the battle of the Somme.

Some on the Collingwood board reckon the game was a bad watch. Some people with their rose coloured glasses.....
Absolute game of attrition .

 

[Stickitupthem]

Their are teams every year that sides don’t want to play in the finals
This year it’s Carlton
Beware the juggernaut

 

[BigFrizz36]

I know the second one, never heard of the first.

Long blond hair. Sang Refugee and I won't back down amongst many other greats. All time champion. Sadly on the long term injury list and greatly, greatly missed.

 

[Blue and Blue]

I'd love it if the club took the p1ss and released an injury report early in the week with "Marchbank - broken finger"

That is pure evil genius..................

The boys on Blue Abroad channel last night were celebrating that we'd MADE the finals.

Correct me if I'm wrong but mathematically we can still miss out can't we ??? (admittedly a lot would have to go wrong).

TDK was herculean again

So glad he signed up

He was, I actually think he needs to se an optometrist he misses that many simple marks in his hands…
Tidy that up and he’s going to be a superstar

dees review thread has screeched to a halt at................page 5............

Thinks to himself "maybe I should go over there and post an ingratiatingly nice post".

Thinks of T60 response and quietly slinks away.

Got home from the footy.

4th qtr straight on replay.

Even though I know the result I was still like this

You saying you got home at dawn, watched some footy then went out to fix fence posts?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The mini sucks doesn’t show any buildup just the mark and goal mark and goal

 

[The Sultan]

He let go an arm and tried to go soft. SPS held on the whole way and gave it more.

But yeah 1 week or at least a heavy fine.

It wasn’t even a free kick … he tried to slow the momentum of the tackle the melb player flopped for the free

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Credit to dow, in the VFL he was a dominant clearance mid.

He's now playing a much more balanced team role, I doubted he had it in him

We’d better flipping keep him

Our midfield has been unpredictable to the opposition for large chunks of the last 8 weeks, many different combinations into the centre bounces.
Starting 5 are great players but if there’s one thing I hope Voss and co take out of the last 8 weeks it’s that we be very unpredictable moving forward

Yeah- a few posters in here getting too excited over not much.

What’s going to happen in here after number 17?

WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN IS WE’RE GONNA TAKE OVER LYGON ST YEWWWWWW

 

[rp84]

Fog was awesome

Not saying he wasn't. He was effective and I've enjoyed him in the team.

Need to fit a few very good players in.

It’s wasn’t a petty game - not many flashy highlights.

The underlying quality was in the contest. The two most contested beast teams toe to toe.

I just love the layers we can peel away when we need to - from staunch attrition to flight-full gunning.

I think Vossy knows what he’s got now - needs to guide them through to the big one.

Someone needs to

 

[BigFrizz36]

Was playing on Lever and more or less nullified him while kicking 2 goals. High level game from Owies.

Yep, did notice that. Big job to nullify lever and have an influence the game himself. Love his passion for the jumper.

A great cat B pick up is Matt Owies.

Hewett - 33 Disposals - 23 contested possessions; 8 total clearances.
Amazing game!

Hewett was absolutely magnificent, just tough, hard and uncompromising

I'm an old fashioned defender from my playing days I loved the intensity of what the game brought last night. Plus it was nice to see the captain just monster the midfield

 

[Blue and Blue]

Pardon me while I park the time machine

Sunday morning after a great win.
Carlton is a force.
That warm glow of winning feeling from hair to tips of toes.
That brand of ruthless Navy Blue Footy.

Then I realise its now...................

You little beauty

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Also, how good is the ******* kitchen Cinc doing if you don’t mind!

Back to picking gems from out of nowhere, build a Nick Austin statue he’s braining it

One more win should nail a finals spot down for sure.

Many Pies’ fans are already shitting bricks that they might meet us in the GF (or any final for that matter)! Love it!

I’d be so confident if we’ve got a healthy list. For one, their list isn’t as good as ours (I’d argue it’s not even top 4, so kudos to system).

But, more importantly, they have soft and/or slow midfielders who would turn to water in the face of our warriors.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

All you youngsters, the ones that have stuck fat. The ones who have had it hard as a Carlton supporter. The ones on here.

This is what I used to feel when I was young.

I love Carlton.

Followed Blues from afar growing up, moved to Melbourne in 2002. Season ticket holder ever since. Been a long stretch.
