Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 8 - Blues v Lions Fri May 5th 7:50pm AEST (Marvel)

[citizen-erased]

If McKay was 5”10 he’d be a KFC lifer, not even sure he’d ever make it to store manager

He'd likely drop every box of chicken he picks up and put the potato and gravy in the fryer

 

[Chief]

Without the one sided umpires and some flukey kicks, this should have been a 10 goal margin. Will take a 4 goal win against mediocre opposition.

Media fawned over them after playing against the WAFL Eagles.

Lol WTf?? Don't ever change, main board umpire whingers.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I’ve been through some s**t times as a Bulldog and I’ve never seen a crowd empty out like that.

All teams supporters have their signatures and Carlton’s is 100% leaving early. They are quickest to pull the trigger and they do it en masse. I think it started during those long horrible mid 2000s when so many games were over so early.

 

[citizen-erased]

It's nights like this that you miss Finey's late night talkback on SEN.

Would have been glorious wall-to-wall Carlton meltdown central tonight.

I miss listening to that in the car park of the G waiting for the crowds to leave. Good times

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Not as close as I thought, but a fair effort from Carlton.

 

[4Seasons]

Not Vossy, he'll be gone when they miss finals.

Bookmark it.

Carlton are stuck with Voss.
The list is more than mature enough to be making finals, they have constantly sacked coaches, they big noted themselves that Voss was so experienced.

If they sack Voss they’ll need to go full rebuild again.
And Carlton fans genuinely said, only a genuine idiot can’t see them winning multiple flags.
Not one, multiple.

 

[Chief]

They didn’t want the blues supporters to feel even worse tonight.

Much better quality flanno’s out Ipswich way

That TK Maxx lifted the Ippy fashion score 40-50%

 

[HairyO]

It really is embarrassing how few were left by the end. Haven't seen it that bad for only a 4 goal loss for a long time

Havent seen a crowd clear out like that since Enright's 300th.

 

[Wosh]

It's nights like this that you miss Finey's late night talkback on SEN.

Would have been glorious wall-to-wall Carlton meltdown central tonight.

Oh man, Finey was the bomb

Well done Brissie, very strong.

 

[Freomaniac]

How bad are West Coast if they got flogged at home by 108 points by Carlton last week!?

That's nothing.

If you think that's bad , try being a Dockers fan in 2011.

Dockers lost to the demons at the MCG by 90 odd points.

This same demons outfit coached by Dean Bailey was smashed by the cats in Geelong by 186 points.

Yep Dean Bailey was sacked after the game

 

[aussierulesrules]

To the Carlton board!

 

[Monco Matt]

Too good Lions. Never looked like losing that game. The Blues still have the same midfield problems, not enough depth of class, plenty of clydesdales but not enough stallions.

 

[YeoShuey]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Carlton end up 9th again.

 

[Deathray]

Carlton’s field kicking under pressure is woeful. Imagine having 2 gun key forwards when some teams don’t even have 1 and still being a middle of the road team.

 

[citizen-erased]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Carlton end up 9th again.

Bold strategy. I dont think we're on drugs this year......dont quote me though

 

[JasRulz63]

A difference between this Lions team and the ones from previous years is that there seems to be a defensive identity with this team, even though it doesn't sustain across the whole four quarters at this stage. For the first time, you can see what they're trying to do defensively.

 

[Milux]

Did someone forget to tell us we can't travel? Where's all the cocky blues fans after the 108 point belting of a poor WAFL team.

 

[Freomaniac]

Their reserve team's percentage is 32.0 and their average losing margin is 100+ points in 4 games. They're below a club that started the season on -8 points due to a salary cap breach.

In saying that, their injury list is the worst in the comp

Yeah it's bad...

Also aussierulesrules , the eagles WAFL side had 32 goals kicked against them 2 weeks ago

 

[Chief]

To the Carlton board!

 

[Freomaniac]

People have a short memory. I can remember Fremantle under Ross Lyon.

How so? And which season mate?

! 1 goal and 2 behinds. 183 metres gained (Hipwood had 304 and Daniher had 411). Not to mention that he tonight looked like a manual car being stalled by a first-time L Plater.

 

[YeoShuey]

A few teams out of the 8 who i’d consider have better game form than Carlton. Guess we will see what happens.

Plus a Brownlow medallist.
