Autopsy 2024 Rd 4 Blues win in miraculous escape

[Dramoth]

These games are such a big reminder of how far we’ve come as a team.

This game was never on our terms, not to mention Fremantle arguably got the rub of the green yet we still found a way. This team is tough!

Freo were given the winning numbers to a super lotto jackpot and still ****ed the numbers up!

 

[ferrisb]

Take the win.

But let us never speak of that game ever again...

to help with the clearances..
Seriously tho, absolutely smashed in clearance. What did we learn and how do we correct it?
Not sure Carroll the answer
Edit (forgot we had Walsh to come in )

 

[F_therest]

Great game. Maybe not the highlight reel but geez that was hard and tough.

Freo smashed us in the middle.

Geez Elijah looks sore.

This is where injuries to Doc, Walsh, Cunners and now E Hollands hurts.

All the heavy lifting left to too few - mainly Cripps/Cerra/Hewett. Relying on Fog and Carroll to play pretty big roles now.
Also Kennedy but with Martin (and JSOS) injured we need him as a third tall forward hybrid.

Walsh back will be a huge boost.

 

[Matty411]

Never in doubt!

Haha we stole that. Take the 4p and run back to Ikon.

But seriously, absolutely rich by them whinging at the death after the free ride they had all game. Had the rub for the whole day. They lost it by failing to capitalise via their stupid Ross Lyonesq game plan. We never had a path to win but hung in and did what good teams do.

Stoked. This team is our bunny. I hope Pearce has nightmares about Aish's hair touching the ball.

Williams at the end, amazing stuff. He’s starting to hit his straps.

Yeah, that was magic…could count on two hands how many times we took the play on in traffic and Williams showed ALL of his class

Had 1 or 2 suspect moments, but I thought that was Kemp's best game for the club

His body work off the ball, holding his opponent out of a marking contest and or allowing a teammate to intercept was amazing

The drag in was bad. But otherwise he was very good. Very solid.

Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of Fremantle's actions.

I do hope we start punishing teams and putting our foot on their throat going forward because I'm sick of the umpire argument made by oppo supporters.

 

[RPCB]

The Fremantle player didn’t like the idea of Cottrell kicking another winning goal in his career, after he did it against Sydney, so he thought time to abuse the umpire.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The kids are pumped!

 

[F_therest]

Sam Walsh is exactly who this team needs!

Loss of Cunners too which is underated imo.

Watched replays of all our games and he was better than I thought on first viewing...he's different to our other mids, he's a classy one touch player and a good runner that adds to our link up plays.

Too much currently left to our core mids and arguably too much responsibility on Fog and Carroll.

 

[Accidental genius]

Missed the game but great to notch up another win....4-0

We've also broken the losing run at AO

 

[agro]

TDK super on Jackson all day - and Charlie worked his way back into the game rather than dropping his bundle

 

[LanceRomance]

Freo play too defensively. The Ross game plan was exposed over 10 years ago.. not sure why they thought it was worth another crack.

Lol

 

[myblueroan]

What just happened!



UNDEFEATED

Cardiac Carlton happened again.
Furious vacuuming followed by furious walking...
Yelling whilst walking happened and

YOU BLOODY RIPPER!!! happened also while walking.

 

[ESKIE]

I love Crippa..

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Those who wanted Cottrell dropped, front of class please

Did anyone say he needed to be dropped? Think the convo was he needed to lift and today he did which we are all happy about

 

[David Sylvian]

Great win, smiled all the way thru the captains interview.

We’d have to go back to being a bad team for oppo supporters not to attach us to the umpire darlings tag. It happens with all good teams. Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Geelong. Now it’s our turn.

That was me !! Whipped around tidied up, had the dog running around with a footy…

 

[Dramoth]

I like this a bit futher down the thread

 

[RPCB]

The kids are pumped!

Beautiful. Like a Picasso.

 

[reg_lower91]

You will see that again and again... clubs will try and wrestle and stifle us. But we will keep coming.

It's a sign that we're good I suppose. Happened to Collingwood last year. Teams know their good and play their GF against them, but you still find a way to win. That's the most impressive bit for me in an otherwise disappointing day. We were down but never near out. Love this character.

 

[agro]

I’m so sick of the close ones.

Like it’s not even enjoyable until after the final siren.

I need blood pressure tablets.

We won by 10 points what are you complaining about

 

[AT97]

Last few pages of the game thread make interesting reading.

Great win Carlton…didn’t give in.
