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

[Sector 7G]

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?

Fev would never have seen Southby or Doull play. So he really only has SOS Sexton and Jamo and Tbird as competition

 

[BigFrizz36]

EFA with Doully and Southby

Doully did play games as a KPD but his absolute best was on the HBF.

I remember hearing Parko tell the story that he continually had to shift either Buzz or Johnno to the other side of the ground as they would both automatically line up on the same forward flank side that Doully played on because the service was so good.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Just watched the replay, did Jonathan Brown really say he left the game thinking that Essendon were the better team?

I thought I may have missed something first time around but really, we controlled the game for three of four quarters, largely held up well when Essendon did take over in the third and then emphatically finished them in the last. Bizarre interpretation to say the least.

Always loved him for the way he played but as a commentator, he has no friggin idea

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

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

To be fair, I reckon it was hard to split Geoff Southby and David Dench at norf. Both guns

Doull would regularly play on the best Centre Half Forward of the era in Royce Hart - and generally had his measure - and played at Centre Half Back all through the 70’s - it wasn’t till we recruited Val “Woof” Perovic that we had the luxury of shifting Doull to the half back flank.

At 6 feet 1 I think that most would agree that his best spot was half back flank.

Interestingly he was named on a half back flank in both the carlton team of the century and the AFL team of the century.

Like I said he played all through the 70’s at Centre Half Back, where he played bigger, taller and heavier opponents and rarely (if ever) was beaten - and played there in our 1972 and 1979 sides - he did the team thing and moved to the half back flank in 1980 when we recruited Val Perovic.

Us old timers have no problem with him at Centre Half Back.

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.

Add Fog and that is a very handy forward line.

If we could just stay fit for the rest of the year we've got a rock solid back line, the mids include 2 brownlow threats, our ruckman is in AA form and the forward line with Mots+Martin looks brilliant.

Just stay fit!

Are key forwards Kernahan+Spalding better or worse than Harry+Charlie?

I initially thought you were referring to B Doull.

No surprise in someone holding that view - lol…………..

Dench was a freak, he could comfortably play in this era

 

[Funk]

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

So Cincotta has been dropped?

One of those pairs have three Coleman’s between them.

The money the AFL slips them to support Essendon.

Undoubtedly, but why? Essendon absolutely destroyed the AFL’s reputation …. why did they make us the scapegoat for something everyone was doing and almost destroyed our club yet backed these obvious drug cheats to the hilt before and after they were found guilty.

I understand they had to protect their brand but once the evidence to any sane person became too overwhelming, which it did, the moniker brave just stuck with that s**tstain of a club.

Never met an * supporter I liked if I was completely honest. That club and their supporters can all GAGF

Good question........Not much in it which says plenty about our current twin towers.

But need to bring home a cup to be placed above Big Earl and Captain Kernahan IMO.

That is a very good point.

Should be tidied up later this year.

Doull could have been commentating matches for the past 20 years. Just sitting quietly in the back of the Ch7 box. Still better than Jobe.

 

[Worm4]

and the other 2 are premiership players.
Kernahan was out the box, and Spalding took his game to another level once he put the navy blue on. He wasn't much chop over at melbourne

Some good analysis, and no one got sucked into the Essendon were 'unlucky' narrative.

Bartel sees things others don't. Would make a great coach.

 

[Sector 7G]

Funny how everyone has been talking how Carltons defence has been leaky this year. How about how leaky * defence was 16 goals from 40 entries.

Last quarter we had 7 shots in 7 minutes. All were very gettable.

Doull sitting in the back. Every 15 mins he would say hmmmmm. " that's a great observation, Bruce" still better than current crop

Robbie’s singing the Blues after McKay meeting

English pop star Robbie Williams has once again leant his voice to the Carlton bandwagon signing the praises of Harry McKay after coming out on top in the battle of the twins.

Loved it!

 

[Dramoth]

Being king hit can do that to you

Just look at Aitkens.

 

[Coops93]

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

I feel like that theory is a sliding scale.

6 goals in 6 minutes is a comfortable spot.

2 goals in under 2 minutes, though, and I'm so confident.. Not just us but any game.
