Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Bombers v Blues Sun June 9th 7:20pm AEST (MCG)

[Thrawn]

Could you be even more in denial ? You remind me of the poms cricket team . Essendon were moral victors tonight .

That's ok, his breadcrumb tears are delicious. Must be salted caramel cheesecake.

 

[Skull Face]

Don't have to touch the ball, just set up more aggressively at the stoppages. Ridley peeled up to one of the first contests in the last and left Curnow by himself to get it out the back. Don't think that happens with scores closer.

Curnow found space on Ridley all night, delusional to think you're changing the setup that reduced the margin by 3 goals in the 3rd term when you need to repeat the dose to win.

 

[Ambrosia]

I certainly laughed when it happened at the start of the 4th.

It’s obvious you don’t quite get it

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

All we had to do is convert some of those behinds and it would have put scoreboard pressure on Carlton

Which is the match ups problem, Ridley rolls off instinctually. He aint a one on one defender. Curnow was far less influential when Laverde was on him and should have been the match up all night. Which I said in the first quarter in here and was the match up for most of the middle 2 quarters. The aggressive move was the Ridley one. Unnecessary if we aren't chasing the game.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Well 2MP is physically pretty impressive, the problem is he almost seems a reverse Casboult - beautiful kick, but doesn't clunk marks.

That's a good analysis. Personally wouldn't have him in the team. Converts some good goals but his lack of pressure and competitiveness hurts more than he helps. I'd be running Caddy in his stead and going with an undersized ruck as back up.

 

[Thrawn]

I get the four points.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Which is annoying happend last week against GC too

Need to fix our goal kicking and forward connection over the bye

Gone back to the Gold Coast Peter Wright he's bloody soft for such a big bloke got spoiled by Holland's in the last qrt laughable

I drop him and bring Nate Caddy in. Caddy will injure himself to take a mark

If you're attacking the game you are freeing up Ridley to attack not putting him on the most dangerous forward.

I think you are confusing facts with fiction, would have made sense if you needed rebound from laverde but we all know you would rather Ridley free

Not sure the 4 points have anything to do with you

The setup at that stage goes away from defensive thought at all. You go from playing on a guy to essentially having him play on you. Curnow is a good match up to play off in a hail mary given his propensity to sag off to get out the back. There is zero reason to move Laverde off him when he didn't score a goal on him, unless looking to get an advantage the other way.

Also it's centre bounce, you have to go 1 on 1. Can't be freeing anyone up at that stage through structure.

These aged well

Quite obviously taking the piss I would've thought

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

9.11 to 15.5

 

[fishardansin]

You lost to the better team. Suck it up.

LOL, I don't think either side walks away from that game happy. A plucky side that is over achieving this year lost due to wasted opportunities. A side that needs to be challenging last year, this year and the next if they want to get anything out of their list didn't really look much better than than the plucky young side.

How far have our clubs fallen if anyone is happy with that?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

These aged well

I thought he was just doing the reverse psychology thing.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

He could never kick. He’s Paddy Dow reincarnate.

Dow didn't work out, but he's 10x better by foot than Tsatas.

Tsatas is a distressingly bad kick.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Free kick Carlton
Carlton get soft frees
Carlton only win games because of the umps

That's how Carlton win games though. rely on the other teams to dominate their midfield but then miss shots on goal

Just say 'brave', Robbo. You know you wanna say it.

Didnt reach any great hights the game imo just Carlton were better when it matterd

Tsatas is a distressingly bad kick.

Dow horrible by foot in year 5. Think they are similar

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Unless we face the Dees minuscule midfield where Cripps and Walsh dominate with 35 and 1 each.

Was that Melbourne’s game plan against the Dockers last week except they converted their shots?
