Autopsy 2023 Semi Final Blues win a thriller!

[teagueyubeauty]

Healey and Dunstall were mega p****d that we won. Tough Tiities for them!

Dunstall has a very soft spot for Carlton, couldn’t believe he’d be pissed I just think that’s his work game face

Looking at it now. Which one are you? Did you get in behind BT and do rabbit ears?

Haha. I wish. No, I meant Jsos was in the rooms.

OMG the Gawn touch! The biggest brainfade of the year. Oh so sweet to see them fall to pieces instead of us this time.

Similar to Esava one when we played the Cats a couple of seasons ago.

Wasteful Melbourne still learning the hard way as Carlton party like it’s 1999

The Demons will wonder how they lost after dominating in the air and on the ground, and then allowing the Blues in at the death

His words at the end there.......I hate this song, I hate this song so much.................

We should just randomly post the song and mention him throughout the year. So that's he's constantly getting it in his feed.

Goal went through, jumped up and went ballistic in the nose bleeds. Got bear hugged by a stranger then started synchronised jumps until I had to lean back as I had lost my breath for a moment before jumping up again. Had to lean back again thinking I had done my back but it went away and the festivities resumed.

Sang the song but I had to leave immediately to try to get home asap because I was driving to Adelaide first thing next morning.

Got stuck in a stairwell with a mob of pissed off Melbourne fans who kept looking at me like they wanted to start something but they all just took deep breaths and looked away knowing that they had blown it.

Was a surreal 10-15 minutes trying to get out of the ground and reading the posts of the song being belted out all the way down other exits makes me a bit jealous. But now I think it's all part of rich tapestry of a crazy win and I wouldn't trade it away thinking of those Melbourne fans faces , especially after the torture they inflicted last year.

He wanted Jacob waitering off the ground soooo bad..... Suggesting the AFL had to look into this....... And you knew this was all about revenge

Revenge for what?

 

[thylacine60]

Ah really? I think the speakers are louder up on level 4, now that you mention it. We were front row, level 4. Could only occasionally and very faintly hear the crowd noise through the music.

MEB was on Level 4.

Did we get an explanation about Schache ?
Why was he sub and why play NO MINUTES?

Goodwin royally rogered that situation.

Especially weird as McD was hardly tearing it up.

Cerra was a quiet achiever last night just no fuss and very calm under pressure .
TDK has changed his trajectory from a steady climb to a space launch the way he is going he will win us games by himself in future ..

Couldn't agree more.

And he is just so cool and calm, looked completely unfazed by the pressure of it all and there was plenty.

Many other players understandably had their nervy/anxious moments but NOT THE KING.

I’ll report back when the search party returns.

How pathetic/immature is it (all home teams/competition) that bc it was Melbourne’s home game they only played the song once. I can cop that, even though it’s immature, mainly bc I’m not that interested in hearing the song repeatedly through the speakers, but to then play random music to drown out any chance for the massive Carlton crowd to really make the most of the moment was shite from whatever angle you come from (including marketing for the AFL).

There’s no question the crowd would have got some massive chants/the song going and it would have been an epic moment (and marketing moment).

Very disappointing and really lame/immature that we think denying a club’s fans a chance to properly celebrate by controlling the post-game music is a worthwhile benefit of being the home team. Let the fans make the most of the moment.

100% agree, they didn’t show the Carlton team singing the song on big screen. But had some Melbourne membership BS on.

being the finals the AFL should have some say and input. Bring back the longest kick at half time etc. keep your pox home team fan interaction pox for the H&A season

Cerra already a star....

On TDK...said that to my son during the match.
This guy will be unstoppable when he starts to clunk them.

Max Gawn published a “Captain’s Diary” the year they won their flag and relayed James Harmes’ thoughts on Walsh. “That is the hardest player I have ever played on,” he told his captain. “He just runs, runs, runs. I am completely rooted.” Walsh ran further and harder than anyone else on the MCG last night. He streamed forward in the first 15 seconds of the final term to level the scores. He’s now played in two finals and been afield in both of them.

(I assume there's a typo and it's meant to read 'best afield')

Melb tried unsociable footy and now realise they’re not the Hawks or Tigers.
Got found out and just turned the ball over , gave away 50’s and a got a suspension .

I thought in the last if they got an extra goal we’d be about done, but they never did.

Then after the Motlop goal, I had this thought with 4 minutes to go “we are somehow going to do this”.

That goal to acres and last minute pandemonium, 99 prelim redux!

Yeah Melbourne were nine points up towards the end. One more Melbourne goal would've been the final nail in our coffin.

We got that goal though to bring it back to three points. I felt we had a chance then and that Melbourne would get nervous.

I've been a supporter of this club since 2003. That win was the best one i've ever experienced as a Carlton fan tbh.

 

[Stamos]

Can't say I'm unhappy that it was 'tough guy' Viney who made the monumental ****-up kick to Weiters to set up our last goal.
Had an easy handball to Pretraca out, or kick it over Weitering to Smith.

A bunged up Weitering hits a cross field inch perfect bullet to a first-year Hollands who takes the mark, turns, and hits a lace out 30 bullet to a bunged up one shoulder Docherty who takes the mark and hits a perfect kick to a two on one - generated by McGovern who gut ran from defensive 50 along with Fritsch to be with Acres who leaped with a busted shoulder and took the mark to score the match winning goal - in his excitement not only nearly hitting the goal post but failing to understand that soaking up 30 seconds was the 'smart play'.

Well games like this are won on heart and monghrel determination - that is actually the smart play in winner take all and loser see ya next year situations.

I have never seen a play like this under those circumstances from Carlton or many other teams ever - just trying to put that into words doesn't do it any justice- that was players all of them each and every one of them playing well above and beyond - and some on are calling the win 'luck'.

Weitering> Hollands>Docherty>McGovern+ Acres> BANG!

Awesome just awesome.

I say BS to the whole 'luck' narrative.

Last 20 seconds, Lever really botched it. $hat the bed and didn’t want to go hard for the ball. That’s two semi finals where he has absolutely stuffed it up in the dying moments.

Lever doesn’t like body contact.

 

[The Sultan]

McD played?

All jokes aside did he play ? Checks notes…. Yes he did, 6 disposals no scores.
Probably should’ve rolled the dice and brought shache on.
