Autopsy 2023 Semi Final Blues win a thriller!

[carlton_99]

Not enough is being made out of McGovern in that final contest with Acres. He did incredibly well to turn around and look at the ball as he jumped so he wouldn't get called for a block. Incredibly high footy IQ move so late in the contest

Ollie Holland in the last two minutes.. cool as a ***** cucumber

That desperate tackle to hold up Hunter in the last 40 seconds was so crucial.

 

[ESKIE]

How’s lever in the last 20 secs wtf

 

[Blue and Blue]

probably been posted but worth another look as g healy slowly dies in the back of the box.........

Fantastic stuff but it really shows theres no bias...they all just love the game and ride the wave like all supporters.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Not a bad first final to take Kramer Jr to.

Taken my 7 year old, 5 year old and baby both last week and this week.

What an experience for them.

Absolutely blessed to be able to be with them there for that. There's grown adults who support * who have never seen a finals win. They've had 2 classics in two weeks.

Took 15 mins to get down from level 4.

Blues fans singing the song the whole way down!

Same here ferris. Was sitting at the top of level 4 bay 32. Last few minutes of play were surreal, Blues supporters erupting everywhere.

The club song never sounded as good, coming down the stairs the acoustics the smiles. My son and his mate couldn’t believe we had just won our second final, ****ing brilliant.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Woke up in disbelief, cant stop smiling.
This isnt just a win,
It's our club fully back.
That crowd, almost went deaf.
Been in some big ones but last night the loudest ever.

Ball looks easily a goal there. Angles are a funny thing.

Freo fans on their board legit wanting Bell sacked for his handling of Acres lol

 

[BlueBayou]

What songs are culturally inappropriate?

Anything American

 

[Juddrockz]

Ughhhh,i just woke up from a dream...... LET'S F...... GO!!!!!! We did it!!!!
What epic scenes at the game last night. The roar after Acres kicked the sealer has left my ears ringing,even this morning after 2 hours of sleep haha.
What a time to be a Blues supporter. Enjoy the ride we're on Bluebaggers.

Need to give credit to Motlop. First full game final and he stepped up. Two huge goals. Big game player.

 

[myblueroan]

That's his two teams we've polished off in heartbreakers the last 2 weeks.

That is priceless.
Dwayne looks even more shattered..who is his team?
Glimpse of the Blues radio box...can't wait for highlights from there.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Popping in to say congratulations. That’ll be all.

Cheers mate. See you in the grand final.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Voss just underlined and put a massive tick next to Ollie Hollands name.

Knows the young man can stand up to the pressure of finals footy.

 

[myblueroan]

Agree.
100% about the shirtfront and unrelated whatsover about race.

I never boo players, but very clear why people did that. Pickett needs to re consider some of his careless/reckless acts.

Parents at princes park tennis club all looking very dusty

Not sure if already posted but here’s the SEN Blues radio last minute

 

[bluemahogany]

I honestly had dreams of Cripps putting in a performance like that in a final, and he delivered. Reminiscent of his coach in the 2002 grand final getting absolutely crunched and getting up and setting up the goal. Hit after hit he kept getting to the contest and setting us up.

TOO BLOODY CLOSE TO THE POST FOR MY LIKING!!!!

PHEW!

 

[myblueroan]

Not sure if already posted but here’s the SEN Blues radio last minute

How good!
I think I may possibly be Andy Maher. Pretty sure I said everything he said with the same lost voice

 

[Brezsa]

My morning thoughts 7am over here.

1. I really want to see the down the ground footage of Acres goal & for a min or so before it. Gov & Kemp were the closest to him. How did that happen? What was our set up.

2. Tom Morris was doing Dee’s radio for SEN, where is the footage of that weasel calling the Acres goal. I think I’ll enjoy that

 

[BigFrizz36]

T

That is priceless.
Dwaynw looks even more shattered..who is his team?
Glipse of the Blues radio box...can't wait for highlights from there.

Dwaybe played for the cats but came from Port (I think before they were in the comp).

I've always felt that he hated us, smarmy enough to try and cover it.

 

[GoBlues!]

Need to give credit to Motlop. First final and he stepped. Two huge goals. Big game player.

What about Kennedy, that goal 40m out, tight angle drop punt brilliant goal. And the 2 goal assists to Owies and Walsh… in a low scoring game with our key forward held, those efforts were great.

TDK, kicking the first 2 goals and that desperate kick forward at the end for Kennedy to run onto…really stepped up big time last night.
