Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 22 - Blues v Hawks Sun Aug 11th 1:10pm AEST (MCG)

[PerthBoy86]

Geez how many goalless quarters for Carlton the last few weeks? They're just boring to watch, them being in finals is bad for footy. If they play like this we'll pump them next week.

 

[Chism]

Ah, simply missing personnel.

No surprise that this is the go to excuse.

Basically a VFL team out there the past two months for Carlton, I agree.

It isnt an excuse it is the truth. You can cover 1 or 2 but not what we have.

Opposition supporters will revel in it and good luck to ya! Deep down opposition supporters want other teams to be injury riddled as it helps their own teams fortunes.

 

[HairyO]

Lol at the umps there

Agreed. Sicily dragged to the ground and never even touched the ball. No whistle.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Hasn't been his issue today but was going at 48% by foot up to this game which is crazy low for a guy who gets so many uncontested touches.

Was so good earlier in the year but has really struggled to find form lately

He hasn't been kicking well since his back injuries hit. Was still playing well but his kicking went downhill quite a bit

 

[Delisted]

He paid one though???

No shit

 

[Chism]

#carltonhaveinjuries

Embarrassing excuse.
You are missing like one good player from when you were a top four team.

Don't give me spuds like Cerra and Cottrell, they are VFL fodder at best.

Ok mete.

Add Tom DeKoning / Docherty / JSOS / Martin / Cerra / Cottrell among others we are vastly different.

To win flags and finals you need to be healthy exactly like the Lions / Cats / Hawks and Dogs who are healthy and surging when it counts.

We are a heavyweight boxer in the 12th round currently! Season is done.

Docherty is in his 30s on a 3rd ACL. You can't seriously be listing him as an important in at this stage.

Cerra's form this year has been pretty poor. I'm not sure he's currently bringing a lot more than Kennedy or Hewett, who have been sub when Cerra plays.

Martin is made of glass.

JSOS and Cottrell? Oh dear.

TDK is one important absence but plenty of clubs right now have those.

Geelong yesterday were missing SDK, Rohan, Cam Guthrie and then lost Bruhn in the first half before Ollie Henry got injured in the 3rd term. Not a big, important injury list but neither was Carlton's heading into this game.

 

[Delisted]

Booooooooooooo!!!! Carlton fans booing their players?

Voss?

 

[Monco Matt]

Go Hawks!! Lovely watching the Carliwobbles return, must be August again! Hawks just too tough.

 

[Osho]

Still a half to go. Hawks don't always finish strongly. Carlton can't play worse.
Though they do look out of breath already, run off their feet.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Anyway I've seen enough in this half to know this is over. Blues are still dogshite so I'm going to the beach.

Enjoy the win Hawkers

JSOS, Martin lol

Martin will next play as a 30 year old who has always been made of paper. If you are missing him maybe your list isn’t that good to begin with, and need to start putting things in place to replace him.

Might as well add Fantasia in…

We have 2 on the bench, we ain't coming back from this lmao

 

[kozi]

Good game plan vs a defunct one

Hawks deadset toying with them

 

[HTPunter]

If you’re going to post about your clubs injury list you should post who they’d replace from that weeks game. People act as if there is 25 guys in a best 22 - surprised Cuningham isn’t named as a best 22 player this week now he’s missing

 

[Chism]

Cant talk about that.

Injuries mean nothing apparently!

 

[YeoShuey]

Has Curnow done anything noteworthy yet?

I think Collingwood broke him ending that goal kicking streak last week.

 

[HTPunter]

Good game plan vs a defunct one

4 forwards v 2 defenders is not a personnel issue. Purely a set-up/style issue. Voss can’t produce a plan B style when they are being cut up.

 

[black is White]

He's always been known as a poor kick. Injury has made it worse.

 

[LongSerong]

Shameless mentioning of Richmond every time you're on the screen Jack

 

[catters05]

I’m not superstitious or anything but all this bullishness on the Hawks just smacks of another fourth quarter capitulation a’ la Port & GWS.

Would be pretty bad for that to happen, especially with blues being down on the bench as well

 

[VinnieB]

Bloos clearly focus on recruiting low IQ players who struggle under expectation.

 

[My Tilly]

Geelong have lost Guthrie, Bruhn, De Koning, Rohan, Conway and are still finding a way.

Your excuses are typical of the culture at Carlton.

Carlton have 35 players in their best 22, so have been missing 8-12 every week.

 

[Delisted]

Wonder goal cele Ginny will do when we 10 goals up?
