Autopsy 2024 Rd 11 Blues eclipse Suns with roof closed

[Blues of 77]

Still think the guy is carrying something.

But one day he will kick 12 or more in a game...

When he switches on he is unstoppable....better delivery inside 50 would help too!

(and a lot less predictability)

Agree with you completely. Charlie is far less effective this year than last. The stats (and number of goals) flatter him. Looks lazy currently and appears to be focused on the 'highlight reel' goals rather than working for the team. Falls off way too easily and fails to chase opposition like last year. Can't help but feel he is carrying something.

Happily take another 2 or 3 of that version of Charlie, suspect other sides would as well

I'm sure you're right on that front. But I'd happily take more of the Charlie of last year. It's all relative when we know what he's capable of

Loved Cowans effort and his attack on the ball.

At the game, I found myself yelling 'target him Lachie'. I reckon there will be a few opposition players starting to step out of his way over the next few years !!

Because of your yelling?

It would be difficult to sustain a high level , week on week, year on year

he can be an extraordinarily selfish footballer at times...

Walsh had 16 handballs yesterday. I don't follow stats, but that would probably be a high number for him.
To me it looked like he spent the first half of the game bombing into the F50, attempting the glory goals...then Voss tapped him on the shoulder and suggested there is a handball option that might benefit the team more.

Ollie’s tackling was much improved this week. One of his best games. Good to see him around some stoppages as well.

Forward setup is so much better with Hollands, Williams and Fogarty. Just need a genuine crumbier (Mots?) and we’re set.

I actually reckon we played really well. The Suns put on 160 points last week and we really limited their ability to score. Don’t want to complain too much about umpiring, but we tackled with intent and probably didn’t get the reward we deserved for it.

The back 7 looked as good as it had all year - Boyd was a bit lazy with his disposal this week though.

Good primer for Port.

Solid win, very good second half.

Loved watching Zac kicking 4 goals, looks like he really enjoyed playing down there. An unexpected good move by Voss.. a Barassi type of masterstroke.

Shame that we don't have an indigenous team name.

This must be what Russel Arnold felt like playing for Sri Lanka.

Played with Russ. He spent some years playing grade cricket in Sydney. Mental and great guy!

Exactly right, I thought Walsh made better decisions (overall) yesterday, in that vein. His handpasses were much better than his kicks, and much better than previous weeks.

he was mentioned before the game by Voss as someone trying too hard and too much. I think it's part of his focus as coach at the moment.

 

[Blues177]

Motlop sometime last year I believe

Yes, 4 goals at Marvel against Port. He was a late in!

 

[Limestone]

Great game by Kennedy
22 Disposals 5 tackles 4 clearences 1 goal + ruck work

Thought his blocking, shepherding, taking player out contests in the forward line was fantastic .

yes, I thought Boyd was poor.

Does Marchy automatically replace Cowan, Kemp or neither?

Wanna see at least 2 full vfl games for Marchy but I guess the club know what they are going to get with him and highly rate him.

So if he is fit they will select him I think.

Some of our good transition work included running the ball out of defence through the centre corridor.

Also recall one passage when Cincotta had an empty forward line ahead of him chose to kick to a contest on the flank. We won the contest and importantly it gave us time for the forwards to run to position. Pretty smart play.

Seemed overall we made some good decisions moving the ball forward. We also made a couple of bad decisions, notably kicking it deep to Andrews instead of a short pass to Charlie screaming for the ball on the 50m line.

So much improvement left in Carlton.

Importantly we have the time to work on it with a balanced set up.

I think we will win the next 2 weeks, giving us a great run at top 4.

Yes our forward line

 

[DirtyLeeds]

One of those games where CFC did what it had to do to win; like how the Adelaide game started, but they didn't read the script, and we kept playing like we had!! No doubt that the Suns are going to win a Flag, sooner than most expect, but not yet. That made yesterday a good result as the lads did the job.
Charlie was very frustrated in that first half, and it was Hardwick who allowed him off the leash when he threw Mac into the ruck, all but changed the game. Suddenly Charles was marking the pill, and clunking goals, how easy is this.......
We looked like a genuine flag threat when we took the game on, when Crippa charged through the centre and Williams finished off with the goal
Game, set, match

Masterstroke = listening to the Big Footy Coaching Panel !

He was bloody awesome

 

[AB_Blue]

A quality player but always room for improvement and those blind kicks into the forward line are a worry.

Fantasia delivers it better to our forwards than Walsh..problem is Walsh demands the footy and is usually in a good position to hit the kick.

Understandable.

He was a Russel in a world full of Aravinda's.
