Autopsy 2023 Semi Final Blues win a thriller!

[teddy-hopkins]

Docherty.

Cancer. Twice.

Torn ACL. Twice.

Dislocated shoulder.

The guy doesn't know how to give up.

What a champion.

Brilliant post.
Doc - absolute legend of the club.

Geez Acres only just kicked that goal

I don't know why he didn't go back and waiste 30 seconds? Had to be drama until the very end. The Carlton way

 

[charred_fate]

It’s almost impossible to appreciate how insane and wild that was.

That was really farkin wild!!!

Wildest scenes since the ‘99 Prelim.

No voice. 6am. Unreal.

Up the bloody Baggers!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SBYM]

It sounds like you live OS?

SE London...

Took last Friday off, was impossible today.

Good thing our next two wins are on a Satdee...

 

[SBYM]

Mrs SBYM just came in and asked how many times can someone watch the same replay...

lol

I wore out a VHS copy of '95...

Now that shit is digital...

 

[simioni11]

God they're some salty opposition supporters, yes we got lucky but our goal was to make finals ️ we win 1 final bonus but to make the prelim is unbelievable, up the ****ing baggers

That was perhaps the most wild game I've ever seen. Like a fever dream, but a good one.

There's so much I'm proud of. It's the type of game I'll remember like an epic warrior poem filled with heroics.

Weitering standing defiant and stoic for every single minute of the game,never losing concentration once, like the badass cyborg that he is.

Cripps, Doc and Acres playing through pain, and still getting up from every tackle to face the fight.

Walsh running across the ground like a demi-god, unstoppable, unbeatable.

Pittonet going head-to-head with Goliath, and taking the giant out of the play. TDK starting to puff his chest out as a titan others will be worried about for years.

Motlop's class. Newman's fight. I could go on and on.

And as much as we'll remember that last play that led to the goal, I'll also remember in the dying seconds Hollands desperate tackle and Cerra urgent smother to stop the Dees going forwards.

What a night!

I'm still trying to work out how both Acres and McGovern got on their own in our forward line once Weiters took the intercept mark backward of wing to switch play. Melbourne wingers just let them go it seems.
Also , the cerra smother with 20 seconds to go was massive. If he doesn't smother that , melbourne were out on their own with a loose man forward.
So much dissecting.

it feels good when things go our way for once

How brilliant was TDK?

Robbie Williams certainly thinks so.

That kick from Dutchy to Doc was inches perfect.

Weitering knew he has the legs to run that initial mark. Amazing effort from Ollie

 

[jimsta10]

I thought the maturity and persistent to attack not once but twice from their back half in dying minutes was a brilliant move. You can’t teach that stuff….

 

[Kruezing]

Just got home … gnite all

 

[David Sylvian]

Well well well .. WTAF! My NBA loving, to cool for AFL, peach fluff growing, screen addicted teenage son, dragged himself out of his pit and watched the second half with me. Tense watch, managed to not yell too much. By the end we were both hugging, dancing and smiling after the siren. Thankyou for winning. Means a lot.

 

[jimsta10]

Thought Newman was a bargain pick up, then Hewett, but * me Acres has exceeded my expectations

A third rounder?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

It’s the first time I’ve been to the footy with my wife since the 99 prelim. She is my lucky rabbits foot.
She’s committed to going to every game with me from now on.

Off you two pop to Brisbane then

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Can’t explain all the emotions of the final minutes…

Weiters to Holly to Doc to Acres who goals to put us back in front was just magic…

Everyone just going nuts, the siren finally blows creating the greatest all in huggs and high five between blues fans I’ve ever experienced…

Bloody Prelim, Mighty Baggers….

 

[jimsta10]

I couldn’t sleep.

I apologies to my dot like 4 times.

Made him go potty like 6 times this morning.

Congrats Blues on your win. Great to see Crisp ( a loyal legend ) get some reward for effort.

Also I can not stand the demons Oliver, the sour faced little twitt!

Congratulations on the win Blue Baggers. I hope you guys can get past Brisbane and then go on to spoil the Pies party. You will 100% be insufferable afterwards and we will never hear the end of it, but still, go Blues!

How good is it waking to a sore head. Job is not done yet, but gee, that was fun. Admiration to the likes of Doc, Cripps and Acres playing hurt. Loved both the guts and cool heads of many players across the field. Walsh! Bring on the Brions.
