Autopsy 2024 Rd 16 Blues tame the Tigers easily

[Manhattanite]

Pies, *, Tigers, Saints all losing, great weekend

Honestly the second best part of the weekend after our big win was that the Swans juggernaut lost - I don’t see anyone else other than them getting in our way and while we have to take it one game at a time, this is a two horse race (for now)

Motlop is no walk up starter now and Cotts might also have to fight for his spot.
There are going to be some interesting late season calls. Even Martin is not completely locked once back from injury.

Cottrell for Ollie Hollands is a no brainer to me. Ollie just seems to get shrugged off to easily.

I prefer Williams and Owies in the team, but if either pull up sore and need a break Motlop will probably get a call up.

Smashed them with the best ruckman (arguably best player) in the league having a lie down this week. I’ll take it.

What a great win! Little grumble...can we please stop referring to richmond as *itchmond, it's rather offensive and not a term needed in society.

No

 

[Gethelred]

WalshistheGOAT what say you about Orazio?

Isn't just being right - and basking in the golden glow of being right - better than calling someone out for being wrong?

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Maybe just a pipe dream BUT could we win the premiership/Brownlow and Coleman?

Yes!

Anyone else hear the smartarse remark from drongo BT late in the game...

"there will be deals being made in lygon st tonight for finals tickets....and...some paper brown bags"

Ch 7 needs to sack the lout

He’ll need a brown paper bag to keep he’s job at 7 at the end of the year.
Now he’s mate keeping him in the job was sacked

Blues can finish top at end of the home and away season...like, for real!

And Collingwood...for me it's a 3 horse race.

Collingwood still with good players to come back and right now nobody is beating GC up north.

Perfect weekend sans Kennedy possible injury.

 

[Thrawn]

Any news on Kennedy?

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Great win by the boys!
Really changed gears in the second half and mauled them!
Really happy for fog and raz to put a few on the board! Thoroughly deserved.

Gee I hope Kennedy is ok! Dam shame as he’s been playing some great footy and we’ve just got the band back together

 

[KnaveyBlue]

BT just finishing the game with a troll. What an arseh*le

It barely even made sense, he was just so desperate to work in a paper bag reference out of nowhere.

 

[Blue Ratts]

Any news on Kennedy?

pretty sure he will go for scans tomorrow

 

[Blues177]

4 goals to Orazio, happy for him, great effort.

Awesome second half performance in those conditions.

 

[AceAndy]

pretty sure he will go for scans tomorrow

Hmm that doesnt sound good

We've been having some friendly banter about him. Check the pre-match thread. My last comment was that I hoped that next week Orazio was at risk of getting dropped having had 15 touches and kicked 2.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Afl site says hammy. Not knee ?

Newman another very good game. Took some strong marks and some of his passing was exquisite.

And hopefully a father-son in 18 or so years!

 

[Accidental genius]

cant say enough about our newer players - the synergies they've created is on a new level

bopping up at crucial moments and getting the job done

Ch 7 needs to sack the lout

I picked it up on the live thread, he needs to be called out by the Club on an official basis, last week it was Walsh's integrity, this week the club's, minimum ban him from the rooms for the rest of the year

 

[cookie monster]

Cottrell in for Ollie is a no brainer. Will make us that few extra % better.

Ollie needs to learn to be cleaner with his possession, and get another pre season in the gym.

Gee I hope Kennedy is ok, he has a really good outing and his contested marking is important for us

 

[Manhattanite]

Fantasia hitting the scoreboard makes a world of difference!!

And Fantasias heat map shows he still was in the defensive half 42% of the time as usual and still managed to get open for the four goals - as Cottrell said they play a mostly unrewarded role but sometimes there’s a game with multiple highlights

But despite the four goals he will be making way for Cottrell in the next month because Cotts is even better playing the Cotts role than Fantasia is and I don’t think we need Fantasia to play as a small forward either

its a great position to be, having a senior squad looking strong and assured and classy and explosive and consistent......

....and then integrating 2 young players this year who are making us better. Not just getting blooded, but making us significantly better.

Elijah and Cowan are huge inclusions.

CARNA BLUES

Fantasia was due I thought. Been doing stuff without kicking the sausages.
Perseverance is the trick. From players and match committee.

This is a team.

Newman another very good game. Took some strong marks and some of his passing was exquisite.

I’m friendly with someone involved with coaching at Melbourne. They rate him one of the smartest backmen/players in the league
