Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 24 - Blues v Saints Sun Aug 25th 3:20pm AEST (Marvel)

[Mr Meow]

So if we play good footy then we win, and if we play bad footy then we lose.

I like this approach.

Yeah it's not rocket science.

But if you looked at the original post I replied to, they said it "would be a miracle if Carlton win". If St Kilda bring their best footy then sure, otherwise it's not exactly the world's biggest challenge.

Comfortable victory for the Saints. Blues are rubbish.

 

[RAPPA]

Saints as outsiders in the odds is easy money

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Blues should win this easily given they are playing for a Finals berth

Would be a huge choke if they don't

 

[Wosh]

Teams are up

 

[NetworkNerd]

Curnow and Saad back

Blues by 13 goals

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Saints comfortably. Risking Curnow is playing with fire

 

[Hawkboy62]

Which of the Jeckyl and Hyde Blues teams will turn up, particularly if it turns in to a struggle? A smashing run and gun win last week against a weak side. What about the week before with the haunting pictures of the 15 coaches in the control centre and Voss, and no-one having a clue? Ah, I forgot the injuries!

If GWS roll the Doggies I'll be on the Blues (and Freo) train . Not 1000% sure they will win but if they do and face the Hawks I think they will win. Learnings!

Freomaniac I trust you have offered suitable prayers to the altar of Ross Lyon this week. You need him now more than ever!

You damn know I love Ross Lyon more than anyone. LoL

Hoping Ross Lyon does a coaching master class

 

[Monco Matt]

ok Saints, just win by 155 points thanks. No excuses just get the job done. Cheers!

 

[Red_man2008]

Saints win and they earn pick 7+8. Saints lose and it’s 5+6. Let’s see if Ross wants to hand freo a finals crack.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

If the ol’ 66’ers can’t beat The Blues reserves team tomorrow - it’ll show the last 58 years building up to this moment is all for nought.

That will be sad!

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Hi ... we are the Carlton FC and we have a big box of lame excuses

 

[Freomaniac]

That will be sad!

Regardless of the result it will be a low scoring game

 

[Red_man2008]

Carlton will only be making up the numbers in finals if they win tomorrow. Saints have more to lose. Fremantle get one over Ross. They jump two positions on the ladder missing out of pick 5 and 6. And they’ll miss out on the bottom six double ups in the 2025 season potentially playing north west coast and Richmond twice.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Saints will have a field day. We will know how serious Carlton are after the first 5mins. If they have 5 goals, game on. Anything else, bring on Mad Monday; cue in the rack.

Hawthorn’s spanking of North if Freo win has ensured Carlton will miss the 8. Even if the Blues can somehow find a way to win against the Saints, their current predicament makes it hard to see them venture deep into the theatre of September action.

Hoping Carlton can someone keep their end up and be competitive but Saints should be too good.
Saints by 10 goals.

Funny though lol

This game is HUGE for the Carlton Football Club. It will answer a lot of questions about them.

• Are they a new group finally capable of overcoming adversity? Do they have the internal fortitude to get this done? Or do they wilt under the pressure and wet the bed again?
• Can they overcome their other bogey team in the mighty Saints?
• Can they put to bed their well earned reputation for choking when it really matters?
• Can Sam Walsh

  hit the fat side of a barn when kicking inside 50?
• Is the tactical genius of Vossy's kick it to Curnow game plan going to be too much for Ross Lyon in the absence of Curnow? It's a real curve ball.

Or ......

will it be 2022 grim reaper game all over again?

will it be 2022 grim reaper game all over again?

Have you looked at the team we're running out with today? Curnows not even playing campaigner.

Put Brodie Kemp down for 7 goals by quarter time on Cal Wilkie and Josh Battle.

The odds look about right if both teams replicated last week's form. St Kilda very marginal favourites. But they may just phone it in like they did against Brisbane, so who knows.

The only shock from today's game will be if either team wins by 10+ goals.

Roll up roll up! Get your pre-game excuses for failure in now Carlton Posters.
Now is the time to do it. Don't wait till after the game! That just gets embarrassing.

Sorry witg but the reality is NO excuses will be accepted. This is the Saints you are playing!!! Time to show us all who you really are Carlton.
