Autopsy 2024 Rd 15 Blues too cool for Cats

[Blue_Fusion]

Seems to have cut the absolute howlers out of his game recently - the going for unnecessary speckies and turnover kick types. His athleticism is easy to see when he spoils from unfavourable positions.

Kemp was just a kid who needed to play more to gain more xp. Now he's levelled up

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I guess he forgot the 64 pt loss to the Suns lol

Not comparable.

That was in Darwin with half their guns out.

This was at the MCG and they had a much stronger side on the park.

Is Tommi still around ?

Not sure he had health issues.

What a great day!!!

Aussies had a win in the T20, Storm had a win up in QLD to remain top of the ladder, and I went to the G to watch the boys demolish the pussies.

Plans for Saturday.....head to Princes Park to cheer on the VFL boys and watch Cooper Lord's first game in the navy, then home for the roast dinner and watch tonight's replay.

As an aside, I'm not sure how Elijah's game looked on the TV screen, but being at the game there were times that you shake your head in disbelief....absolute freakish skills. Gerard Healy was a massive rap on him during the course of the game - reckons if you went back to revisit the 2020 draft, he'd be even higher than his pick #7.

Yep the kids got it strength to work through multiple tackles for a handball.
Kicking goals from 50.
Elite vision and descision making

Is Tommi still around ?

Saw the great man last year.

and that’s as complimentary as I’ve ever heard an opposition coach.

Powerful performance, won every aspect of the game.

No weak links, mature and polished

 

[Benaly28]

So Scott says we’re the best they’ve played in awhile……did they play the swans last week?

Just saying.

Cowan genuinely should get the Rising Star nomination this week. Surprising that he hasn't had one so far.

I think Luke Darcy is on the nomination committee- so fat chance.

 

[reg_lower91]

Was having the discussion with my brother at the game as to his standing in our history if we manage to clinch the silverware - captain through a very difficult time and during our most sustained period of no success. Has carried us on his shoulders, achieved the ultimate individual prize and has stuck fat. If he can captain this team to a premiership he’ll be right up there in the convo of the greatest ever Blue

I distinctly remember an interview he had when west Coast were trying to pry him away and he re-signed. He said something along the lines of "yeah I could chase the money, but bringing success to this club will mean more".
If he brings us premiership #17, that, to me, makes him our most valuable player in the modern game. Arguably one of our most valuable ever.

Cincotta going through the 2023 All Australian team and destroying them one at a time. Wow.

I said exactly that to my wife

 

[Uncle Fester]

There are statement wins, and then there is this.

Never seen the Blues look so dominant.

That dangerous bastard hope tingles

You must be young. Us oldies saw a lot of this in the old days its why the last 25 years have been so tough

 

[CarmenSandiego]

When talent meets hard work. Welcome to the big time boys

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Best thing!

10 minutes to go in the last quarter.

We were 38 points up, game was over.

Normally this is the time to let a few cheap goals get through, but still get the win.

Instead we kicked 5 goals to 1 to finish off the game strong.

Best sign ever.

 

[Prem17]

Crippa with 41 touches and can't get 3 BOG.
When the last time a Carlton player got over 40 touches and didn't get 3 votes.... or even 1 vote....

did what we had to do against a team that hasn't had it together for a while. they're in the 8 but maybe not much longer.
we had our way with them in the last quarter. we won't have it that easy out of the middle very much for the rest of the year, we'll come up against better ruck and midfield set ups. but we made hay and put a team to the sword.
ran in waves and it looked awesome.

both sets of fans annoyed at the umpiring which suggests it was even if confusing. in some ways play was let go and in other moments the whistles are red hot. kemp has been getting caught with the ball a lot lately kind of like young but barely gets a chance to get rid of it or even hold it for very long. otherwise he was fine.

owies looking at a 30 goal year, pretty good for a third banana and having to share with williams. cincotta dangerous in the forward line as well, amazing. hollands involved enough and his goal showcased his endurance. orazio good signs, should have had a goal. durdin's spot looking shaky, nearly took a repeat one-hander tonight. tough getting a permanent gig if you're only playing a quarter. our backs have been sneaking forward the last few weeks. kemp, mcgovern, newman, cowan... massive hoof.

bit of a stamp on the competition, but a long way to go. i've watched the afl highlights video a few times now, kind of need to light up a cigarette after that.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Loved that play where Owies and Fogarty were running flat out to our forward 50m, Owies handballed under pressure to Fog, then Fog returned the handball to Owies who straightened up and kick a goal..

As the noise calmed i yelled out “sheldon, to marcou to ashman, gooooooaaaal” every old carlton fan in ear shot turned to me smiling and laughing

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Was there tonight. Incredible performance.

It's all been said, but De Koning is becoming a serious, serious problem for every other team in the comp. He is so good. The argument could be made that his last month of footy has been the best of any player in the AFL.

 

[Prem17]

CH7: In news just in, Geelong have officially changed there club song to Under Pressure.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Here in Venice just got off the plane and saw the scores I knew we’d smash these geriatrics absolutely wrapped
Can’t wait to get back and watch the replay

 

[Thrawn]

When is the last time a coach beat Scott & Scott b2b?

 

[Wickzki]

Missed the Lions comeback with Covid.

Asked the missus to pick any game on the fixture.

She picks this one.

Book flights and accommodation.

Research fixture. Carlton Respects game. Missus works in DV. Big tick.

Organise to catch up with most Melvourne based family and friends over the next few days.

Son is asked to pick any shirt in the AFL Shop today. Picks a Charlie Curnow

shirt. Kid is a lite attached to the Suns (thinks it's cool we semmhavve family there) as well as Blues and has had a Lions AFLW player coach him for two seasons so big soft spot there. Picking Charlie was a proud Dad moment.

Missus surprises me wearing all Carlton merch with the "Stronger Together" message on the front.

Weather is perfect Friday night footy for the dursuration at the G.

And then the boys deliver arguably the best win against Geelong since the 1995 grand final.

It doesn't get much better than that.
.
Going to make the Carlton Respects game an annual tradition for us if I have any say in jf.

I love my family, I love all of you and I ****ing love this club.

Thank you Baggers.

 

[Mentallo]

I still have my doubts guys, those 2 preseason games in Feb...........

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Three trains and a bus to get home to The Rat, but it was worth every minute!!!

Singing the Dadadada on two trains, Flinders St Station, entering a bus in Melton at midnight, the Baggers are up and about and September bound !!

And my membership guarantees Little Dirty and me to the Big Dance!!!!!

 

[TD2010]

Just logged on, but want to say I've seen three premierships and then lived through THAT period, but we are officially back. All you young folk don't sweat it no longer, we are a serious team now.
