Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 7 - Cats v Blues Sat April 27th 4:35pm AEST (MCG)

This would have been worse for Carlton if this Geelong home game was actually played in Geelong

?? Lotto numbers for tonight please

 

[PCORF]

Stengle is such a clever and unselfish footballer. Criminal that we let him go.

I agree. I knew we made a huge mistake (yes one of many mistakes over recent years), we should have sorted him out instead of giving up on him. Collingwood had a similar issue with De Goey, look at him today.

Very impressive win from Geelong. They were outplayed in many aspects but kept their composure all game leading pretty much all the way by taking their chances when they got them.

 

[carlton_99]

Around stoppages there were plenty of soft Carlton frees, and two lead to goals in that last surge. Geelong had 10 frees and were scragged most of the game at least as much. De Koning was decapitated late for no free.

Carlton lost the game from terrible field kicking and poor goal conversion. That's all.

We should have won despite the umpires if we kicked well. Doesn't mean they didn't have a significant impact. And please if your argument is free kick numbers then there is no point having this discussion

7-0

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Blues small forwards once again proving why they are the worst in the competition

 

[Satan]

Carltons comeback reduced cats percentage

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

To the Blues board to read 30+ pages of how they got screwed by the umpires.
The melts should be classic reading.

Then head to the Hawks and Richmond boards, they'll be dirtier than the Blues on it.

 

[Captivating]

Good game.

Welfare check on kreuze_missile may be in order

 

[carlton_99]

Bottom line if that sort of umpiring happened for us over 4 quarters like today this thread would have shut down BF.

 

[Worm4]

Literally nobody thinks that but Carlton supporters

Literally most people think Carlton are a better team than Freo

 

[LordLucifer]

Forget about some crappy umpiring decisions, if you can't capitalise on some set shots for goal that all professional players should kick, then you don't deserve to win.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Great game. Geelong just a bit more clinical and steady when it mattered. Don’t think Carlton would have lost anything from that. Plus they’ve still got good players to come back in.

Just hope Carlton are stuffed after such a tough game, when they face up to the Pies, with only a 6 day turnaround.

 

[Tristan34]

The umpiring was horrendously one sided for four quarters. Congrats on the win but you were watching a different game to me if you thought we were getting soft frees

Maybe you should watch the game with both eyes.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Geelong may be getting the rub of the green, but Carlton are not helping themselves with their kicking

Yep, burned a lot of grass on too many field kicks and wasted a lot of shots on goal.
Well done to the Cats though. They played great and very deserving of the win.

 

[carlton_99]

You’re right that’s why Carlton won the free kick count but couldn’t win the game

If your argument is free kick count I'm not bothering to discuss this with you. It's gonna be like arguing with a 4 yr old

 

[Mr Meow]

Geelong was outplayed and we didn't have a defence nor small forward line.

It was expected with our half back and small forward line decimated.

..at the end of the day Geelong was Bluetalised in the middle.

Aaaand here come the excuses.

Carlton played a Melbourne-esque game today of dominating territory and inside 50s, but using the ball as well as GFL side. It doesn't stand up against efficient sides.

The good news is that could easily be rectified throughout the year. But you can't get away with butchering it and choking in front of goal on the big stage.

 

[Bunnings]

Wow seriously, if it wasn’t for the umps , Carlton win that easily,

Carlton fans should rightly feel cheated after that

They gave them 4 frees at the end to get them close, nice troll..... Cameron was waltzing into a goal in the 2nd after a dodgy call also, you clearly didn't watch the game, so thats ok.

 

[joe444]

Carlton: 14 frees
Geelong: 10 frees

3 howlers (where they scored 2 goals regardless) does not make an excuse for a loss.

 

[Mr Meow]

We should have won despite the umpires if we kicked well.

Spot on. Bad kicking is bad football. I would add poor decision making, lousy defending and cringe-worthy playing for frees onto that list.

Thought they were pretty good today. Missed a few both ways and some iffy 50m penalties, aside from that alright.

Coming from the Geelong fan alright mate congrats on the win

Its not an excuse we had 40% of the salary cap on the injury list.

Really, worse than , say richmonds small forwards ?
