Autopsy 2023 Round 14 We needed this! Blues break the drought with big win over Suns

[Blue and Blue]

Pretty much the first time I've ever seen TDK play and I walked away thinking - this guy can actually play.

Good on him and should he desire to leave come season's end, efforts like today certainly will push up his price!

He won't be going anywhere.
Good that he is starting to get the required fitness. Still young for a ruckman.

 

[Accidental genius]

Woweee….91% kicking efficiency

 

[gab213]

Good to get the win, a good team performance.

Need Boonie tonight

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Six pages, for a 10 goal win, after the last two months?

Where is everyone?

I was on the golf course. Haven’t watched game yet…what’d I miss?

 

[passmark]

I know they fell away in the second quarter but our pressure was terrific in the first half.

Is Dow the best SUB in the game?

Certainly adds a diff dynamic to the group.

 

[BrianSetzer]

Always one of the first to sook when we’re losing. This is a wonderful feeling, we don’t ask for much, just keep playing like this lol. Up the baggers.

After reviewing 6 shitful tapes, this weeks review will make for some much needed, good, positive vision for the boys to latch onto. I hope it has the positive effect to kick start a mini revival for the sake of their confidence.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We need more love for Brodie Kemp, the wild Echuca Boy !!!

He is kind of a big deal !!!

We've been saying !!!!! Gun!

 

[Revenant1965]

Enjoying watching the replay. Boyd long sleeves? Many of the good things that can be said have been said. I am enjoying a dram in celebration. Loved the quicker play. Seemed such a good mix of players. Such a good team effort.

 

[branedotorg]

There was trade talk, wanting to get rid of him and losing the captaincy!!! Skip puts his body through hell for this club, it’s okay if he has a couple rough weeks!!! The effort is always there with Crippa

With respect, no it's not, if it was no one would be thinking about his role going forward or thinking back on when he had a major role in coach sackings.

The reasons may be legitimate but he's not like Pendlebury, delivering a consistent high level, week-in-week-out.

 

[Skull Face]

Finally kicked straight and built momentum off the back of it, probably a month too late for it to happen but lets see if we can't build some form and confidence off the back of it and play some good football for the rest of the year.

For how much of a disaster this year has been if we can get back to playing well enough to pick off a couple of (Port, Pies, Saints, Demons) and make some changes at the end of the year to fix what went wrong i'll be content enough.

With respect, how do you know what he does to prepare himself each week, the toll it takes on his body, how hard he works during the game and the effort he puts in? And “major role in coach sackings” you know this as fact or we basing this on bigfooty talk and rumour?? Comical

 

[MckayMagic]

Amazing how we kick straighter when we are taking shots from the middle of the ground and closer to goal a lot better style of play out of stoppages really tried to come forward and give our forwards a good chance

 

[Ezayyak]

In my opinion the difference today was two things

A fitter team with a bit more skill and pace in general than we have been able to field in a long time.
And a team that has bonded around the idea of playing for each other and that stopped worrying so much about the result and focussed on the football for each minute of the match.

Didnt see any difference in style (or so called gameplan) except we kicked goals instead of points.
Amazing what a few goals will do.

Disagree. A very noticeable change in game plan. Players running hard to take the short diagonal kicks. Players running on the diagonal overlap to receive the handball. We stopped playing the long bombs to the wings where you'd normally find Harry and Charlie.

We lowered our eyes inside 50, often trying to find the shorter option instead of bombing it to the two talls. It was actually a very noticeable change.

now your being subversive.....

 

[I bleed Blue]

Needed that nourishment.

Played with heart and intent.

Hopefully we can regroup after the bye and keep playing attacking entertaining footy.

If we lose whilst playing a good brand of footy so be it.

Hit your opposition hard. Hit them often.

Hit the scoreboard frequently and put the pressure on the other team.

Run and over lap. Forward release handball

Finals are all but out of the equation but let's get some momentum going into next year.

 

[Accidental genius]

Ahm…we’re only 1.5 wins outside of 8th.

Just saying.

 

[Revenant1965]

Oh, and 69 tackles, 11 inside fwd 50...

 

[I bleed Blue]

Ahm…we’re only 1.5 wins outside of 8th.

Just saying.

Alot of the teams above have a game in hand. Will be 2.5 (basically 3 games) after next week.

 

[reubsblues]

Intensity, effort, tackling, work rate,
pressure acts
Were elite for the first time in a very long time
And the other thing that I really noticed today was how we really got around each other like when i player was on the ground there team mates really made a point of getting over a picking them up. Today was a game where all of those things have to be the our minimum standard and a non negotiable

If you think Cripps delivers consistently as a player and a captain then I think we take very different things from watching games.

Let's leave it at that.
