Autopsy 2024 Rd 18 Blues fail to fire for their skipper

[agro]

Charlie just a poor kicking game. Should have kicked 7-8 goals and result would've been very different.

If Dogs had kicked straight in first quarter - red rover

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Well, that happened.

 

[Moon]

Better to get a form slump out of the way now than finals time.

Thing is ... if we drop out of the Top 4 we're stuffed

Even 4th ... do we really want to play Sydney in Sydney? No way

 

[Soapy V]

Pace and speed of ball movement ….two things to work on

I’d like us to go back to winning clearances and contested ball

 

[agro]

Newman had a shocking day and had 4 goals or so scored directly off him being slack/dumb.

As Tom Jones says “it’s not unusual”.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Tonight’s poor players who should not be getting a game.

Marchbank - irrelevant
Boyd - missed EVERY target
Hollands - the younger one has no vision
Newman - went missing for anyone half
Owies - did he even play after the first 10 minutes

Cotters there too.

 

[bigblueboy]

Not sure Hewett would have made 1 iota of difference TBH. He is no superstar, nor does he bring speed, which is why we got cut up on the outside. Solid player yes, but hardly a game changer. We lacked overall intent and application.

Which is exactly what Hewett brings …

I’d like us to go back to defending scores. We are leaking badly from stoppages. The balance is awful.

 

[bigblueboy]

Voss way too upbeat in the presser.

I hope the players don't get fed this garbage behind closed doors.

I thought he gave nothing away … particularly the question about Charlie. Read nothing into it.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Changed the mix to 70 green to 30 on the brown.

Got some Joe Walsh on the run.

Going down like a hippo in a cyclone.

It’s all good.

 

[agro]

Make no mistake. North will fancy themselves.

Two poor games in a row is not the form you want this time of year.

This! Instead of going into this game in self preservation mode - North will set themselves for their “Grand Final” as Carlton have gone back to “flaky” mode.

 

[Captain Judd]

If Voss was a player he would be dropped, regarding his performance in the coaching box. Last 2 weeks he’s been outcoached and poor team selection. How does Cottrell warrant an automatic selection is beyond my understanding.

 

[WalshYouLegend]

We just don’t seem to win on the smaller grounds against the speedier teams. Can’t play on the MCG every week. Hope we can sort it out soon before we lose our opportunity for a flag this year.

 

[jpfalvo]

I also think that people who administer football clubs, (are suddenly revered as coaches), when they should shut their mouths & let the playing group solve problems.

Which has happened here forever.

We’ll be ok.

Care to elaborate

After the Richmond game everyone especially the media were talking us up.

Players are not robots don’t think for a second they didn’t drink their own bath water and still are.

We have achieved nothing yet and should not even be thinking anything other than winning games of football.

We need to comfortable being uncomfortable.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

The one he ignored a few clear guys in the 3rd will stick with me a while … horrendous so selfish

Willliams showboated at the end of Q1 twice, E. Hollands too during Q2.

Charlie always showboats unfortunately.

A lot of pretenders out there today - feel for our Captain who was let down by many of his team mates.

 

[DangerousD]

Didn’t see todays game, really disappointed for our club.

Negatives. Voss continues to pick a team based on his vision of how a side should play and not based on form, output, fitness. Back to two rucks, garbage.

Positives. With 5 games to go we are second on the ladder, win 4 finish 2nd, win 3 finish 3rd or 4th

 

[le dominateur]

Mind boggling.

Push Walsh to a wing, play Cincotta on ball, play hewett, rotate cerra through there, and play one ruck.

Apparently Walsh cannot be played on the wing.

If you put Walsh on a wing what is your CBA rotation - it cannot be Cripps/Kennedy/Hewett as your core 3. They would get thrashed on the spread

Were getting thrashed out of the centre and then getting thrashed on the spread regardless

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Eugh...lots to unpack.

Our complete lack of power runners make it so hard to gain separation on the tighter decks. Cripps actually has the quickest burst which is an absolute indictment...and our transfer of ball struggles accordingly. WBs moved the ball with comparitive ease. Cerra never looks like he wants it enough...see Gibbs, B.

Kemp is neither arse or elbow. Not big enough to be a key, not sure enough once it hits the deck. I already trust Cowan infinitely more. Give Kemp a run on the wing and Ollie can come back when he has something resembling an AFL body.

Pointless potting Marchbank...we know what we know.

Boyd doesn't have enough brownie points to have kicking games like that. Was absolutely deplorable. Game changing bad.

Belted in the middle. Two rucks was nuts...if 25000 Carlton fans could see it, why cant the MC. Flat footed mids...you might think two blokes hanging off Cripps creates space for others. Nope.

Too many stayers not enough sprinters. I couldn't give a fiddlers fart about Cotts and Ollie's running patterns...if you can't find the ball occasionally and apply GENUINE, phsical shut down pressure the other way, then head for the race and just keep running.

Availability remains the best kind of ability. Williams, McGovern and Martin are ten ply and the toll of carrying them is beginning to show.

Won't blame Charlie for the loss...especially given easy misses at the other end, but FFS, at least make a token attempt at a set routine. With great salary comes great responsibility.

Adds insult to injury that we are denied a chance to bake the umpires for their absolute shit show because we had so many passengers.

Sorry Crippa. You absolutely left it all out there today, and most of our guys left you hanging. Would drop 10 if we had some fit cattle.

 

[Benaly28]

The Cripps video on the Carlton website.

We are blessed to have him as captain you want to go through brick walls for him too bad some(most) today didn’t.

So you would go Cripps/Hewett/Kennedy as your primary three on ballers?

Will probably need to win all our games.

I was there last year at the Prelim, blues were spent by the time they got there. A little bit of a lull now but Voss will have them primed for finals.

Pitto deserved another chance but two rucks doesn’t work, better to find out now. De Koning is going to be top 5 player in the comp.

I watched Buddy kick 2 goals 11, Charlie is a gun, he kicks straighter and you win on an off night. He will kick a dozen in a game before his career is done.

Cripps deserved better for his 200th, but if he is a premiership captain I don’t think he will give a **** when he looks back on his career.

Good luck for the rest of the year, if the Hawks can’t win rather the Blues, missus has a smile on her face and that generally leads to a good day for Brucie
