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

[Blues_1864]

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

I thought Jobe actually provided some balance (in his own special way), which is an absolute indictment on the rest of that commentary team.

Yes Cinc!

The Cincotta Clamp > Essendon Edge

 

[lukep_86]

Cerra-Carrol (easy)

Durdin-Motlop (easy)

Martin-Owies(harsh)

Cottrell-Ollie(harsh)

Agree with all of this. Durds works hard but Mots will give us a lot more, including plenty of x factor.

Is there anyone else who could make way for Ollie? He's been good but Cotts comes straight back in. Definitely harsh but it's a good problem to have.

365 days ago we kicked 6.16 to lose to Essendon by 34 points and fell to 15th on the ladder - a full game inside the bottom 4

It is unfathomable how much our fortunes have reversed. I am taking a moment today to soak in not just the current form but how far things have swung. For contrast - round 14 last year vs Gold Coast I (for the first time ever) declined the opportunity to go because the crowd and vibe were so toxic, (and to be honest i was also pretty awful around the footy too...)

20 wins and 6 losses since; a preliminary final last year and currently second on the ladder with a fun draw on the way home.

Such a credit to Voss (and can you imagine that perspective 12 months ago today) buy he has become an absolute master. He's tuning this team like a DJ at the moment, subtly shifting players around and tinkering and eqch game there just seems to be this moment where it all 'drops' and we blow the opposition a way for 5-10 minutes.

Anyway, what an absolute wild ride the last 12 months have been. Hopefully it is the start of something - even a fun era of contention would be great, but so much credit to the club for turning this around so well.

I went to the Gold Coast game with the last of my children I could convince to still attend.
I turned to him at quarter time, with us being 10 points down and said: “I think we are stuffed mate”.
Simply could not predict what happened next.

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

Stop the Press: Teams that win Premierships have better skills than other teams and take advantage of the lesser skilled teams mistakes....

100% agree.

I think Williams has taken Motlop’s role.

EH has taken much of Jack’s role and also fills in for Cerra at CB’s.

When Cerra comes back I think EH will spend more time forward - EH can take a grab and also beat oppo on the ground.

I don’t think he’s taken their roles I think he plays a very different role in our forward line.Motlop and Martin would transform our forward half.

HF:Martin/Harry/Elijah
FF:Motlop/Charlie/Williams

Good luck with the match ups.

I think I remember that, she turned into a seal, didn't she?

And so brave... leaving before the final siren to avoid the rush

The kreuuuuze coaching him to be what he always wish he could of been if it wasn’t for various injuries and reasons

Puma needs to add this pic of Williams to their advertising, showcasing the great elasticity of their onfield products (free kick Carlton?):

Not Charlie, no free kick.

 

[jj1978]

Vossy is showing some really great signs that he has learnt a lot since his first go round as a senior coach where he went to far the other way and was too strict. I was against getting him the first time he went for the Carlton job. But now... he's perfect for it.

I believe he went for the job 4 times. Pagan sacking (probably more courted), Mick Sacking, Bolton and Teague sackings.

 

[jj1978]

Jobe's best effort last night -

'He's completely ambidextrous on both sides'.

Wonder how many head knocks Jab got in his career, half the time he couldn't complete a sentence and then would realise what he wanted to say and whisper it quietly like he was talking to himself.

Agree. In only a few weeks Williams has shown an ability to crumb off the tall forwards and kick goals, and also win the ball on flanks/pockets and centre the ball - probably better or more consistently than Durdin and Motlop have shown to date.

Owies plays differently and is a lead up marking small forward (that double back and pass from Charlie was one of the plays of the night).

I think Williams, Owies and Fogarty have complimentary skills and are currently working well together up forward.

Can see Cerra and Martin in for Carroll and Durdin respectively, but I wouldn’t see the need for more than two changes just for the sake of it.

Got to say my favourite bit of the game was when the draft tamperer fluffed a kick out of the backline.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Could it also be because it’s a Sunday night.

I don’t think I’m alone in that I generally have a few drinks Saturday night so by Sunday night I’m knackered.

Thanks for your input

Zerrett really does throw the ball a lot though

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Very composed and quick to scan for the best option. Bestie and I said last night that he rarely stuffs up.

And on top of that just pops up and takes an intercept mark lol. Kid was born ready I reckon.

 

[Benaly28]

I tihink we can safely say that Kemp/Cincotta/Boyd are all best 23 now if they weren’t already.

I don't think Jack Martin is an automatic inclusion, not while Williams is tearing it up in his role.

Not sure Williams is in Martin's spot, think it's Kennedy that's a pseudo tall forward.
