Autopsy 2024 Rd 0 - Harry kicks the winner vs Lions

[T2B_]

Special mention to Carroll came in a did his job .. well done young man .. when we needed you came
In with flying colours .. we have some serious depth

In a side that was fumbling the ball around, his rapid fire reflexes and clean grabbing of the ball was the Midas touch.

Brodie Kemp and Lewis Young didn't lose a contested one one-on-one all night. Pretty big considering the power of the Lions' forward line.
Lewis Young led the team with 11 rebound 50's

Young was great

Wrap your dicks around this.

Never, ever, put your money against the Blues.

Ever.

As much as I would love to wrap my dick around this...

This win was insane. Carroll was huge - totally didn't see it with him before.

 

[YeoShuey]

Whoa easy young fella.

Richmond, North, Freo, Adelaide. Should honestly likely all be wins.

Real test will be GWS the round after but quietly confident still.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Gee we've done some work on how to hold a lead at the death since that day that can never be mentioned in 2022. Very impressive.

Great fight by the players. It shows alot of growth has happened in mindset over the last 12 months. You can have all the skills in the world but if the mindset isn't there you will never be a finals team.

First time I've seen something to work with from Carroll. Let's hope it's the beginning of something for him. I thought he added a different element to our midfield when he was in there, which I believe we need otherwise we are to easy to read

I also think that even tho he had a stinker of a game Docherty should get some credit for the second quarter turn around. He brought structure to the backline and directed everyone to their role. It calmed things dramatically

Also small shoutout to Young, he wasn't a stand-out and made some silly errors but I think he played a role and was our best Defender in the first quarter. Hopefully that builds some confidence in him. Daniher isn't an easy ask to play against

Carroll’s draft highlights screamed Pendlebury to me. He has that habit of almost ghosting his way through congestion.

The biggest positive from tonight's game apart from the win. The kid now knows he belongs!!

And no Teddy Hopkins….

here or there........

 

[WalshYouLegend]

That was our 2023 season condensed into one game. Go blues.

Haha, that is so true….

2023 season also had an atrocious first third, a blistering dominant middle third and a tight contesting but winning final third.

What a complete representation in one game. Well spotted!

The GABBA was absolutely rocking. The crowd got them home.

Couldn’t ask for a better start to the season.

Love this club

We have the best supporters .. when we are in full flight it’s amazing

 

[Michael Jezz]

Insane win!!!

 

[El Topo]

Biggest H&A win since the 90s
Eclipses Essendon 2001 easily

Love how many occasions we've had to say this in the past 12 months

Loved Carroll’s game

Helps when only 90 seconds left.

We were all ready to jump the fence, take the body hit to soak it up…

 

[thylacine60]

What did I say in the preview?

cost of living something need a haircut something something oh shit, there's a brown snake in here something hopeful..........

 

[Thrawn]

The Spanish one was great to hear!

 

[JamisonRun40]

The last ten minutes were stressful to watch. Well done blue boys winning by a point that was impressive. Must admit I didn't watch the first half. To win with two top players out really impressive.

 

[teknodeejay]

I’ve just finished two servings of humble pie after I completely wrote off the team as not prepared for the game.
Enjoy it, those who stuck fat.
Lesson learned.
impressive.

Credit to Orazio late too, he put on a pretty flat chat chase on some Lions bugger running out of our F50. The Lion was surprisingly quick and he couldn't catch him but considering he's made of rice paper it was good to see the effort.

Before half time I was getting ready to look at the 2025 draft thread.
Unbelievable 2nd half !

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Carroll looked unreal in the 3rd, serious point of difference

Also thought Fantasia ran the right patterns, got to the right spots and hassled - those small forward spots really are Motlop and a pick of anyone right now though

I was half expecting a very loud ping.

Shout out to all the Preseason naysayers!! Interesting to see them all over tonight's massive win, great to see. But ffs turn down the panic stations over reactions to a practice game, see it for what it is, we'd have lost by 80+points according to your version of reality!
You know who you are, own your narrative, tonight's team had no resemblance to either practice team.....
Hanwell vindicated!!!!

We have been burnt too many times, throw in the preseason games with the 1st 1 1/2 quarters tonight and you would be forgiven for wondering if that run last year was all they had to offer.

Should be a massive result for the confidence of the group, you are probably not going to have a tougher task then chasing down a 46 point lead at the gabba to a top 2 side.
