Autopsy 2023 Rd 9 Blues tease but go down again

[dragonsblues]

I’d trade McKay for a first round pick at end of season unless the coaching brains trust proves in the second half of the season they can make this forward line work.

If we did that, Carlton’s luck would be Curnow would get injured for 12 months.

 

[BlueBayou]

a sample of bewilderments from tonight. -

• How any team in my lifetime could score one goal in a half and expect to be significant? It may have happened in the dim past, but not since I've been cognizant of the sport.
• How young Cotterell has not been in this team till now? In the votes for mine.
• Why the very F#^K would you sub off Hollands who was having a career best game and easily winning his wing. We would have been better served subbing off H. Durdin and Owies were better targets up forward, and they are half his size.
• Why warrior and braveheart Ed Curnow would be the impact sub defies the laws of logic. F. Air Would have been as effective a choice.
• WTF has happened to my Rock at FB?

Season over I fear. It's a long way back from here.

(Edit: I now seem to recall a game I witnessed (at Western, now Whitten oval) when the Baggers kicked 4 for the game in a premiership (?) year. Horrid rainy day with a gale blowing across the ground. The Blue Blooded thorougbread's were out mongrolled by the scraggers on their dungheap. (Might have been Jimmy Buckleys first game as a 16 yo.)

Another Edit. - Crippa. You have ZERO skills on the left foot. WTF would you elect to kick a left foot around the body snap at goal? Just kick a drop punt. You may miss, but you wont get pilloried for it.

Just on a side note I’m shocked at how poor Acres disposal is.

And in the past fortnight the commentators have said he has been great.
Gold fish memory central/stats lie …

 

[gab213]

Where to now

Forgetting about the game soon and focusing on important things like...Mother's Day Lunch.

 

[BigBreakfast]

My heart is actually breaking. Literally!

 

[T2B_]

Almost guarantee if McKay went somewhere else, somewhere with competent coaches all around the joint, he'd freakin dominate

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Lol. Thy must be on the gear. Lol. I love his commitment to the Club but enough is enough. There is something wrong psychologically and structurally with this team.

More in the cerebral cortex - it’s not getting a look in.

Would certainly be guns in a proper football environment.

But it’s tough in a basket case of celebrated mediocrity.

Just remember though it’s all about growth, connection and those other buzzwords.

Jump on board and join the journey towards just participating.

Insipid roll overs guaranteed followed by laughing and joking with the opposition straight after the siren.

the before game shyte and after game joking with oppo is the ugliest of all

It’s not - you will be fine

 

[windows1]

It's those types of decisions that will kill Voss. Not the poor skills.

Frustratingly stupid.

Would have been nice to bring Boyd on. He may have bothered to go within 20m of Jones in Q4.

Carltons just incompetent as a whole these days mate. Other clubs use the exact same "buzzwords" and win flags.

ermmmm well he was injured ...............I know really not a good enough excuse ..........

 

[Fridge42]

He was good tonight - if not for he and Newman - would have been over at the half .

He had at least 4 kicked on him

 

[thylacine60]

Replace rash with another 4 letter word.

Acute post. Extraordinary insight.

 

[No1Suspect]

For the love of ****ing god, stop cuddling and patting these piss weak fluffers on the back for effort and tell them to bring the mouth guard to training. Enough is enough.

Thousands of dollars every year for this rubbish.

 

[Accidental genius]

it feels like we've gone back a couple of rungs on last year?

It also feels like we are getting worse as season wears on?

 

[KohPhi]

My heart is actually breaking. Literally!

Meh... it's just footy.

 

[The Coach]

Yep, I feel the last post in the Lions autopsy thread by me today, turned out to be self-fulfilling

 

[thylacine60]

It wasn't great was it? Came over with a "good riddance to your up and under delivery" send-off from Freo fans.

 

[bloodsweatnbeers]

Not one to vent after a loss but something is really grinding my gears...

Not the reason we lost but how on earth can a selection committee choose Ed as the sub? He just does not fit the job description .... time for some accountability from those selecting the team.

We are not a serious football club picking Cripps, Kennedy, E. Curnow in the same team.

 

[AB_Blue]

Never seen a team work so hard for so little reward.
Great effort second half but not enough gas.

This

You cannot question the effort….buy in is there…

What stands out is blokes like Cottrell and Owies hitting targets and kicking set shots when guys on 800k can’t hit the side of a barn

McGovern is a fugazzi…doesn’t stand up under pressure when it’s him or bust for the side…t

That mark attempt that lead to the game sealer was unbelievably poor.

Durds was a ghost out there…Acres has had 2 shockers…Hollands needed a rest 2 weeks ago

Motts was good up the ground made one poor decision that luckily at the time didn’t hurt our momentum

Charlie y his way into the game but when you get donuts from H and JSOS you can’t expect Charlie to kick 7 each week

We desperately need TDK in the side……JSOS not getting it done

Wieters is in a world of hurt out there…:he’s mentally shot and I’m wondering if him being out there is doing more harm to him

Thought Newman and Young redeemed themselves from last week…….

Honestly this result was fairly predictable…honest effort but not damaging enough with the ball and we shot ourselves in the foot

Would you believe me if I told you they've been 'working closely' with a sports psychologist for a fair while now...

It's a plant from another club.... only explanation

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

I hope that poster who mentioned putting the C on English in SC this week went through with it LOL. That English bloke is a quality player Pitto was good tonight toiled hard hampering his influence.

 

[windows1]

Weird people getting into defenders...I thought Newman mcgov Saad and young we're good.....weitering well another story

Suggest you watch Q4 again and keep your eyes on Saad wandering around on his own while Jones cuts us to shreds.

 

[Mondyboy]

I’m getting ever closer to the hate watching stage of the Voss era.

It’s depressing.

I wonder if the events of late last year have left mental scars on this group.Somethings just not right.
