Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Tigers v Blues Thurs March 13th 7:30pm AEDT (MCG)

[Toomuchtime]

Blues have shown for years they are a bunch of pea-hearts.
Every time the gauntlet is thrown down, they fail to deliver.
Final round of 2022 all over again.

[Sarcoidevo]

Blues with no 1st round draft pick

Oh deary me

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Mick Molloy so tanked he can't talk in the rooms on Ch7 hahaha

Be the change you want to see in the world

 

[Plugger35]

carlton looked so slow and flat footed

They also looked unfit, Richmond overran them in the 2nd half.

 

[Captain_Bender]

Voss won't last the year

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Harry McKay is the antithesis of clutch.

What a legend!

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Where are the Blues supporters?

Might have to go and see if they are hiding on their board

 

[CarnTheScray]

Darling has kicked 532 goals you ****ing clown.

McKay has kicked a similar ratio of goals and will have kicked around that amount by the end of his career.

I think you misunderstand the comparison.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Not sure the point of recruiting a 32 yo Nick Haynes who was not in the seniors much last year.

Him and McGovern spoiling each other leading to a goal was cringeworthy

 

[WilloTree]

What an amazing victory, well done to the young tigers.

Where do Carlton go from here?
They looked genuinely terrible.

To be fair they were missing a few this week. Kennedy, Owies, Martin, Carroll..

 

[kickazz]

Game was a bit messy. Umpires need to be more lenient on paying contested marks. Would make for a much better game. A couple of clear ones were not paid, and they could pay a few more, would make the game better

 

[MJG14]

That was a very enjoyable watch. Carlton absolutely melted under pressure with horrific skills and they looked slow at times. Not sure crazy Vossy will last much longer!

Thought that McIntosh and Nankervis were very good.

Carlton just got too far ahead of themselves too early.

At 41 pts up, they were playing expecting the ball to be heading forward, they played on the attacking side of their opponents, looking to make the break towards goal.

Then Richmond lifted, and Carlton didn't adjust until too late. By the time they did, Richmond players had gained self belief, while Carlton had gained nothing but self doubt. By that stage, the game between the ears had already been won/lost.

If anyone is to blame here, it's Carlton's coaches and senior players for letting the team lose focus when winning and not adapt properly when the tide was turning.

Full backing of the board by June

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Thanks Tigers that was perfection.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Nick Haynes... What a terrible idea.

He looked cooked 3 years ago.

McKay has kicked a similar ratio of goals and will have kicked around that amount by the end of his career.

I think you misunderstand the comparison.

No comparison to be made, Darling would have been your best KPF the last 15 years.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Since 1993 more like it

Is that wrong? I've got him covered by 10 years.

 

[happy_hawks]

Voss = aura/can't coach
Yze = no aura/can coach

Yze was highly regarded at the Hawks when he was an assistant. All this "presence" discussion in the media is such B/S. Just like Kingy arguing Lions needed to be ruthless and move Fagan on, that ended well.

Quite a few throws and deliberates ignored

Curnow didn’t play.

Seemed like it.

He literally had zero influence!

 

[Carringbush2010]

Voss won't last the year

Well for the good of the comp let's hope he does.

Goals in a Grand final: Boyd 3. Darling 1.
