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

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Just finished watching the replay since Sunday nights game live, thought I’d get some more perspective on Cincotta’s head to head role on Merrett and a clearer understanding of their ‘missed goals’

Merrett had 21 game possessions, 9 of these were not on Cincotta they were on other direct opponents 7 centre bounces and 2 on Walsh at the back of the square, most of the CB possessions he got were through his direct opponent drifting into the contest, he stayed back leaving him completely alone…

Cincotta directly head to head discounting the centre square possesses held him to 12 disposals while kicking 2 last quarter goals, 1 on Merrett to top it all off…

As far as their 16 points, breakdown was 5 rushed 2 touched and 3 from quick run/snap types that were 50/50 shots that go either way, 6 set shots that were all definitely kickable…

Thought and mentioned on the night that we controlled the game except for the 3rd quarter although we stood up defensively well…

Big shout out to Hewey Boydy and Kempy who i couldn’t fit into my votes but all were great and had big impacts on the night…

Just a shout out to Vossy.

To make some crucial positional changes over the last few weeks has changed up our side.

Cincotta/Zac and even using Elijah through the middle more and TDK becoming that 4th mid with that crash and bash has been genius.

If our bottom six players continue to play their roles the rest will take care of itself.

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.

No room for Fog ?

We pushed them wide, let them have cheapies sideways which gave us time to setup down back and sit on the turnover.
Controlled the corridor for the majority of the game. The few times they got through the middle they generally got an uncontested mark in the 50.

So odd watching a Carlton game, where the other team is busting a gut and we are playing conservatively and then bursting with speed. Start of the 4th * defensive unit were out on their feet, bang bang, game over, go conservative again.

I can’t think of a Carlton game I’ve watched in the last twenty years where we were so controlled and organised.

Interesting narrative from the weekend
Team A
3 goals down at Quarter time -lose their best player
5 goals down at Half time
8 goals down 1/3 of the way through the last quarter game over
kick 10 more points than opponent.
More possessions but lose clearances
Season over and the teams a rabble.

Team B
3 goals down at quarter time
6 goals down at Half time
8 goals down 1/3 of the way through the last quarter game over
kick 10 more points than opposition
More possessions but lose clearances
Brave effort just need to tidy up shots at goal

That’s a great take - have to agree.

I’d love them to burst for a little longer at some point

Too much fun to watch.

Always has been. Even for the full back of the century gong. One way or another, the job was going to a Carlton player

SoS better than Southby. 200 goals from full back and played against the great full fwds. Southby dropped off a tad after 1973

 

[Revenant1965]

Brilliant. Wonder who AFL will have singing at the GF...? Wouldn't it be good..

Sums up the ridiculous media commentary perfectly!

Can’t recall another game in the last 12 months when I was so relaxed throughout.

Exactly this.

I said the same on the main board, and I assume the rabble there assume I'm just being a contrary arrogant flog or something (in fairness you get a lot of those over there) but I'm being 100% honest.

There was a brief flicker of doubt when * got an easy goal late and it was within 3 goals, but then we quickly put the foot down and got one back and it was all good. Otherwise I was very relaxed throughout, even when * had repeat inside 50 entries, the way we kept structured had me feeling confident we'd absorb and then eventually counterattack.

Another take away from watching the replay.

How good is Eli at hitting up the short option. Always takes a good option and just beats the zone. A great kick given he has a strange ball drop.

In what world is Durham in consideration for AA? Delusional

 

[SOS Rules]

Having looked at the replay we always seemed to have their measure and we often had * kicking into a clogged up forward line versus an open forward fifty for us. This explains our scoring efficiency.

So good to have an even spread of goal kickers. It was a good team effort all round which is what we want consistently moving forward into this season.

I wish I had all your confidence and was able to relax - I was sitting on the balcony Level 3 - MCC - didn’t breathe a sigh of relief till we kicked those opening goals in the last quarter.

I can never relax unless we're 40+ points up with 5 mins left in the game.

I always have that Leigh Matthew’s theory in my head , if you have more goals then minutes left that’s when your safe

Yeah same.

Although I also think if they need 5 or so goals and they've only scored '5/6/7 goals etc' with 10 mins to go, I start to relax a bit more. The weekend was the perfect example.

Didn't work for the hawks against the power.

Right on. My only update would be Fog for Motlop, who would be off the bench rotating……but bang on.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Might have meant KPD. He'd be in the top 3 since 1970 (with JSOS and Southby) for mine. Maybe Fev wasn't going back as far as Southby?

EFA with Doully and Southby
