Autopsy 2024 Rd 13 Blues shoot down the Bombers to move into 2nd

[Dramoth]

Sometimes putting players in a position to just hunt the ball absolutely makes them. DeKoning into the middle. Williams up forward. Even Cincotta at times gets himself in a position quite a bit to just go the ball, even though he is playing a negative role, he's still a forward and that shows. Builds confidence and gets the player into the game.

I'm waiting for a similar thing to happen with Durdin, I know why we gave him a big contract, he's got a lot of talent, just needs some confidence and motivation.

His cameo last night would have helped with the confidence. And his motivation should be to make the second small forward position his.

Jobe's best effort last night -

'He's completely ambidextrous on both sides'.

They (* fans) rave about Cox like he’s Bontempelli; all I see is a baby giraffe with a red sash. Very ineffectual.

Kemp's body on body work is a worry...loses to many in the air.

He just looks smaller than most of his opponents.

He's almost crying.
The lip is wobbling! LOL

Bottom lip protruding so far, it looks like he doesn't have a top lip.

The * supporters on BF aren generally pretty good, the general pop of Essendon fans in the wild are terrible, entitled and culty (re: Hird, Sheedy every new draftee being a future Brownlow winner).

Pretty sure that "l" should have been an "n".

Always have a bit of a giggle when I see it; oh you didn’t do the thing you were supposed to do but if you diiiiiiiiid, you would have won

I’m sure we won expected scores during our poor start last year. Didn’t make me feel any better.

I also bet we won expected scoring against Crom. Again, doesn’t feel like a win to me.

Someone put up the Cats preview thread, I have a feeling

Commentators keep saying Williams plays the Jack Martin role but I think he's playing the small forward role really well.

He's been a game changer up forward.

Jack Martin is a third marking tall such is his marking abilities one on one. A rare talent. A brilliant tackler too.

That’s why he was a No 1 pick.

Has the mobility and smarts to play “small” too. Hence why Owies likely makes way for him - Owies a decent option, but Jack is just classier.

Now…as for his body holding up??

What was even better was the drug cheat Jobe Watson having to bite his lip and provide complimentary special comments.

Jobe's best effort last night -

'He's completely ambidextrous on both sides'.

I laughed out loud when I heard that gem from the “Lead syringe user” Watson.

The guy is an absolute peanut.

After leading his team into the biggest scandal in AFL history he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a football ground - much less a commentary box!!!

Clearly he should be thanking nepotism every day for the pay check he receives - it’s certainly not for anything he contributes to the commentary.

And as Hoyne says on SEN this is the key metric all premiership teams have

Hoynes an a grade imbecile and wouldn't get a job as a junior data scientist at atlassian.

Interesting view.

Why do you say this?

Walsh may not have had a great game but he still collected 13 ground ball gets. He’s number 2 in the comp.

Blues have now played a full home- and away season worth of games (i.e., 23 H+A games) since coming up against * in 2023. They are 18W 5L in that time. Such a massive turnaround - hopefully we can keep it up in the second half of the year.

Owies, Carrol and Durdin not best 22 if Martin, Motlop, Cerra are fit

 

[myblueroan]

That kick to Elijah in the third was just… wow

Since he moved forward,
fastest turnaround on feelings toward a player I've ever experienced!

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Interesting view.

Why do you say this?

Because of the litteny of mistakes and the way he uses his platform to push views that you simply cannot come to.

Their modelling that continually spits out terrible conclusions - but in this case turnover may well be consistently decent amongst premiership teams but how is it 'the' factor? 'The' factor is whatever that team is best at. Not some random stat he's proclaimed as 'the answer'. It's a 0 accountability game because of the way he hedges these 'conclusions' too. champipn data is a data collection agency pretending to be analytic gurus.

Good solid win last night by the boys.
We just slipped between 2nd and 1st gear as required, at least that’s how it looked to me.
Tdk/cinc/lij all fantastic games.

Gee, how’s the oppo going to stop us when we have(hopefully) a fit matin and possibly mots up forward!! Can’t wait to see it.

Shout out to weiters for absolutely destroying wright. Usually kicks 5 on us.
