Autopsy 2024 Rd 22 Blues finals hopes sink like a stone

[passmark]

I’d play Wilson as well

Couldn’t do any worse.

When was the last time we had a young kid...drafted and developed by the club, come into the side and add something?

Hawthorn have a bunch...we have none.

Its waht I said yesterday - its like we dont have a vfl side.

Other clubs bring in no name players and they bloody perform well.

I couldn't tell you half the hawks players names. We've been rebuilding for last 8 or so years and still got belted by a team of young no names.

 

[reg_lower91]

Not even angry on this one.

Sad. Disappointed. Disillusioned.

There are days where I rue the fact that I ever became a Blues supporter. Today's one of them.

The part that truly concerns me is that I don't even know where the improvement could possibly come from next year. There's such minimal depth and competition for a spot.

Put the injured on ice. Play some kids. Just write the year off and try get as low a draft pick as possible.

 

[Styxx]

At least Binns, Lemmey Carroll etc will play next week

 

[Roddy]

Your injury toll was absolutely dire today, about as bad as it gets. Definitely helped our cause…

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Book your Sept holidays everyone.
We’re done.
Disgraceful effort.

We can still make it.

Keep the faith.

What broke at Q time of that GWS game? Can it really be that team selection bringing in underdone Cerra and Cottrell and dropping Hewett would have this much of an impact? There was a positive switch last year after Q1 against Gold Coast and a negative switch after Q1 GWS. Just cannot make any sense of this

Our form are that point of the GWS game was the best in the league.

It's unfathomable how it can just turn off like a tap.

 

[SolGoodman]

It’s the Goodwin model of coaching. Play the experienced players until they breakdown and then, because you have no choice, play a kid.

Both things Blues & Dees fans agree on, ineptitude of their head coaches

 

[dragonsblues]

Austin has had 5 years to fix it and done nothing, cowan about his only good pick at the draft to boot.

Acres, Cerra and Hollands have been good pick ups so do me nothing to balance the list is a bit harsh

 

[thebluenewdeal]

On to next week. Throw that in the bin, get some healing for a day then move onto west coast. Still 2 weeks of the season to go. We can still beat last seasons H&A record. Hope the club can go after that.

 

[Blue4Life]

At least Binns, Lemmey Carroll etc will play next week

Why would they want to play for vossy

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We are a laughing stock

yeah get ****ed Voss and Russell. What a joke. There's so much said there in one sentence.

 

[norway blue]

So gut wrenching and disappointing . Thrashed on the scoreboard, running ability , skill level , intensity and composure .And injuries don’t help . Just have to find way to regroup against an up an about west coast . Regroup Blues ..

Can't blame them for the result obviously, you expect the players to perform even in an empty stadium.

But its something I noticed early in the game and pissed me off. Just another aspect on the day I thought we "lost", among many.

25 years of shit mate... 25 years.

Football clubs and some fans think support should be automatic. After 25 years. ****ing go out and earn it back Carlton.

 

[Accidental genius]

I've been in many clubs that have been successful and gone sour. As soon as you have players starting to think 'why the **** is he playing' or 'shouldnt he have to go through the twos?' you're cooked. Its a layer of doubt that festers. Feels pretty likely. Looks pretty likely with that 'effort' today and the last 7 weeks.

I just cant put my finger on what happened after the first quarter of the GWS loss, it’s like all the single players were caught having an orgy with all the taken players partners at quarter time!

We went from premiership winning football to bottom 4 football in the blink of an eye and have played one good quarter a game since.

Honestly the only teams I’d feel comfortable in beating at the moment is * and Bitchmond

Someone should ask Voss.

2022 we lose the last 6 to miss the finals after being in the 8 the entire season.

2023 we win 4 of the first 13 games

2024, we lose 5 out of the last 6 to sit out of the 8, after being a game and a half clear two thirds through the year.

This is a recurring trend, the coach has some explaining to do

 

[Blue4Life]

I think Ollie hollands is the worst player I’ve personally seen in a Carlton jumper…just my opinion

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I’d put in on the players.

 

[athensblue]

Charlie lost his Coleman so let's get skip his Charlie

Nothing else this team can do this year

Done

 

[ESKIE]

We can still make it.

Keep the faith.

I am why not….I love Cripps that’s why

 

[Benaly28]

Remember these words..

“You have to play four quarters to beat us”.

He was right teams only have to play one or two now.

Yes but the injuries would always happen.

We expose the list to an overdone pre season causing endless soft tissues.

We had a gameplan that was simply over run.

We have a list with too many devopment spots and injury prone guys

Completely irresponsie model

 

[sosos]

This will finally be the circuit breaker to address some serious issues with our list that SOS left us with.

We need to remove Martin, Marchbank and Cuningham. We need to consider what role Williams can play.

We need to find a small forward who doesn’t go missing/only applies pressure.

We need speed in the middle - so big calls on midfielders.

Yes injury management needs to be looked at, but if we continue to pick up or persist with injury plaqued players the curse will continue.

This is all on Austin. He could have moved on the injury prone players, he could have drafted or traded in some speed, or a kpd, or a third tall.

Sos was working to a long term plan. We couldn't go the distance with it.

Acres, Cerra and Hollands have been good pick ups so do me nothing to balance the list is a bit harsh

Pace?

So much so I want his babes, but if you knew me…..you would laugh you head right off !
