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

[jooce8891]

That's what I liked... and he was good today Added that much needed bit of speed around the ground.

Also good to see that he hasn't lost any pace after his ACL.

game by game for him, will probably need to be fit for the rest of the season to earn himself another contract

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Straight kicking, centre clearances, effective small forwards, solid defence and all-over-ground pressure brings wins!

 

[Dramoth]

Yeah you'd think Dow will keep Hewett in the 2s. We look so much better with more diversity in our midfield mix.

A bit of pace and zip in the middle. Hewett and Kennedy are the same sort of players. Good readers of the ball and the way the play is setting up and get to the right places at the right time. Dow getting the ball out of congestion with a burst of pace or quick hands is what we really need in the centre. If he gets a full game and really turns it on, I reckon he keeps Hewett out of the side until Kennedy needs a rest.

So before I was rudely interrupted by those opponent’s in the cheap seats I N28 - go Blues!!!

 

[Accidental genius]

Who did Dow come on for and when did he come on?

 

[Forty3]

Walsh had twice as many score involvements as he's had the last month (I think). He's back

So too is Weiters who has real chemistry with McGovern and Kemp.

God damn special to hear this song today.

Goes to show, if you play your best runner from the midfield to receive hands from our clearance players whilst running towards the forward 50 what a difference it makes.
Rather than running at the midfield from the forward line, back to goal.

Loved the changes. Loved the result. Loved the game.

 

[JuddgementDay]

It was actually a fun game

We had it in the bag after midway if 2nd qtr - so no stress by the fan nor players.

Rinse & repeat thanks

 

[Wickzki]

I said we'd win in the preview thread.

People laughed at me.

Now who's laughing!

Was a damn nice day in the sun for footy too.

.I tipped them but saw clear areas we had advantage..

Did not anticipate us winning the ruck battle today. Thought that's where the difference would be theirway

Happy with the rest of my preview despite being 13 goals off

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

Cripps was good today but you can't deny his previous 6ish weeks haven't warranted criticism.

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

 

[RPCB]

What he say?

Just basically saying how the boys love going to work and how close the group was. He repeated it twice. I took it as a subtle message to the media.

 

[Mondyboy]

Who did Dow come on for and when did he come on?

Martin. About two or three minutes into the last quarter.

Hope we keep Tom and Kemp into the midfield next year.

I actually see a lot of Nat Fyfe in him. Tall and big bodied midfielder

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Kempy brilliant!!
Midfield a lot better.(got the mix right today)
Cunners! Awesome he got through.
Dow - brilliant for 15min

Go baggers

Good win, but let's not get carried away.GC were horrible today. They didn't really turn up. Still happy, we won though.

They definitely turned up but we stunned them in the second. They took the foot off and when you’re 1% off any team can make you pay. We did that today and never relented. Every time they’d kick a goal or two in a row we applied pressure rather than trying to just become bees to a honey pot. I liked the 1st quarter and second half more than anything. We we’re adjusting to the situation with a lot of composure and freedom. Still think we’re a long way off from the 8 though. Even so, it was a great day to be blue bagger!

[Korn]

winning is so easy

 

[Graffy4242]

Such a good spread of goal kickers

Great to see Weitering back to his best bossing his opponent.

Totally mate. Really need to re sign him. Both.

God that felt nice. Hardly any passengers today. Matt Kennedy is a beast. Walshy is back. Crippa leading the team. That is the bare minimum moving forward.

 

[Accidental genius]

Sounds like our list is not so bad after all.

Loving the kemp played well story. I really like the way he goes about it. Like I said in preview thread he may make some mistakes but that’s got to be expected. He will get better. He will be a very good player imo.

 

[norway blue]

10 goal win is very impressive against suns who have been quite good so far this season. I was worried about their hard running type players but seems we were dominant all the way through.

We crushed them axe .

with one of the great 8 touch 0 goal games. Had his fingerprints all over that first half
