Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 6 - Blues v Giants Sat April 20th 4:35pm AEST (Marvel)

[Worm4]

great game, both teams banged up so the rematch later this year could look very different

taylor is as important to gws as weitering. cant be understated how much he is missed

blues missing a lot of run and ball use with saad mcgovern cerra williams all injured. cool to see us flick back to clearances with all those players out from our turnover gameplam

Cripps was huge. If he doesn't pull 3 votes out of that game, then I must be on another planet

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Blues biggest issue is they’re playing a French ruckman

Pittonet is Italian.

I know that may seem unusual for a Carlton team … but alas.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Really who goes out for those 8

If we were discussing players, their best footy along with where it fits in the team dynamic:

Durdin for Motlop
Fantasia for Fogarty
Kennedy for Martin (not as convincing, but can be argued)

Cowan for Saad
Young for McGovern
Carroll for Cerra
Kemp for Docherty (more versatile)

Pittonet would be occasionally rotated in and out of the side.

lol why is a freo supporter in here throwing shade?

And this is the reason Stocker is getting a game at St Kilda and not at Carlton.

Carlton nothing short of scintillating when they turn it on. They were back in business last night and will be very hard to beat if they can play like that consistently. Definitely in premiership contention!

Freo by the sea - very salty!

 

[Dumpstar]

Just say it everyone. Forget the umps who are on the take. Forget Champion Data who are on the take.

Say it with me. Carlton are a good team.

Name is french/waloon fwiw

 

[TENACIOUS]

Facts don’t care about your feelings

True… The fact is you just got pumped by West Coast

BT said he's French. BT is my source of truth.

 

[Elixuh]

As opposed to your Irish ruckman ?

Big O is the descendant of a convict who stole 3 sheep in Donegal. His family has been here for generations.

Carlton on the other hand plucked Pittonet straight out of a fromagerie in Rouen.

 

[ajs071]

reading all the post here and it is clear as day that oppo Supporters are really struggling to comprehend Carlton genuinely being in contention. All they have to make themselves feel better is to say that we are cheats and that we have the umps on the take. What a bunch of nuff nuffs seriously.

This might be your best post.

Oh s**t.. you’re serious?

Why not, if its there its there.
The only reason to not highlight it is if you dont want it brought to attention.

This week alone, Adelaide lose to Essendon when by their own admission an obvious htb goes unpaid in the dying seconds directly in front of goal and they justify it by saying the umpires missed it, yet the behind goal footage shows an umpire with an unobstructed view 30m away looking directly at it.
Pies get a run of 10 frees from late in the 2nd when Port were 31pts up that results in a 50pt swing.
GWS fail to be rewarded a free kick in the entire 2nd half against Carlton to go with some interesting free stat manipulation on the AFL's official website.
Brisbane get pinged a 50 when the Geelong player fumbled the ball after taking a mark and then an absolute wtf moment when the umpire stops play for a ball up and pings Brisbane for 'holding' for pulling a Geelong player of another Brisbane player which happens at almost every ground tackle stoppage.

Thats just in a 24hr period, what do they all have in common?
Vic club being getting favourable umpiring.

Then theres the old 'home ground advantage' from 'voice of affirmation' that we supposedly get from our 'genuine 12 home games' that Vics regularly trott out to justify their own advantages, yet of the 7 games SA clubs have played against Vics in the 6 rounds so far, 4 free kick counts have been won by the Vic clubs.

Its a ****ing discrace and you know it.

[beema limapep]

You went missing very quickly once the Blues got on top. Lol.

Nice of you to notice! I got bored lol

 

[Chief]

No, but I think its about time we started a thread to highlight how often it happens, the momentum swings in scores as a result and who it benefits.

Would subscribe.

Bigfooty seems to be filled with miserable types who are constantly hellbent on making sure fans cannot enjoy a win and they must shit on the club no matter what.

It really is sad.

The type of people you cannot bear to be around in real life after your team wins.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

wow

Am I wrong?

For MY enjoyment!

 

[Worm4]

Randomizor hope you're ok !

Thats nice of you to ask. We should always check on people to see if they are ok

 

[Triniboy]

Neither have Carlton over the last 30 years? We can’t exactly win things from before we were in the competition. Not every team got to play during the weaker VFL era

weaker !…disagree…probably a bit young to know the vfl was the pinnacle of football, most of the best players across the the land played.
unlikely current day Freo could beat the best teams in that area !
