Autopsy Rd 12 Newnes wins the game for Carlton after the siren!

[Red Bull]

Probably had the better of the game for 3 quarters yet only somehow managed to fall over the line, our lack of composure is unsustainable.
Williamson showed good signs tonight, the more he plays the better.
Cottrell has the natural want to compete, a trait that will serve him well.
All the way with TDK !!

Ah, 93 was it. I was at the Hawthorn match.

Had to listen to the radio call from Rex Hunt for the * game the week before. I swear it was at least 5 minutes after the siren before I actually knew who had won.

Lost his marbles in the end Rex, to busy making up stupid names for players than calling the game in the end, sad cause his banter with Sam early days was gold back when the only nickname he used was the Cranium.

I think the subtle (or not so) "...after what they did last week" is the salient take-away from the quote my friend.

right

yep, crossed the line to the point no-one had any idea what was happening on the ground..........

Jordan lewis never has anything good to say about us

He has the communication skills of an alarm clock

Almost felt sorry for the Freo fans leaving the ground tonight after the last 2 games against them here.

Almost...

 

[Dadda Dave]

see the quarter time score?

Yeah I did ,also saw at least 1 dodgy goal ,maybe 2 in that same quarter for Freo so there wasn't much in it ..we blew a million chances ..
But anyhow we won..

This. It is why hated Rex Hunt as a commentator.
The scores FFS, you big dickhead. The scores....

We look so much more dangerous with Fisher in the team.... Weaving, zigging, zagging, always moving the ball forward.

Weclome back, Prince of York.

How TF did I miss writing 'he's such a slippery Fish'?

Sorry all, will hand in my dad joke badge immediately...

TDK is great at centre square bounces, he's less effective at stoppages.

Has a fantastic leap on him so hopefully they can coach him to try to body up less at stoppages and instead use his vertical leap more.

we shit it in........!!!! sort of.........

I know Weibot has a couple kicked on him tonight, programming mishaps maybe, but I thought he was still one of our best. Not as many chop out marks but, the wet was always going to stifle them. Fist to multiple contests and was generally clean enough when he got it given that there is always pressure on. All key forwards know they are in for a rough night when the cyborg heads their way.

Spot on. Absolutely nothing comes easy for the forward against Weitering. If he gets beat, like Taberner got him in the goalsquare, that's just fair play. Otherwise, Taberner's other goal was a bullshit free kick and Jones doing his weekly Jones thing.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

His gut running is off the chart

He nearly have scully when he was at his best.. interesting next year if he can get near his records/- will have more impact In games anyway ..

I don't get the unsustainable comment. Williamson will improve, Cottrell is new, TDK will only improve. The composure will come as these guys play together.

 

[Dadda Dave]

we sh*t it in........!!!! sort of.........

We shooda by 3 or 4 goals ..

 

[RAPPA]

I'll kick you up the ass if you do

Straight through the middle like Newnes’kick

who has the ball - and if it's ok, which end of the ground is the ****ing thing at?

Weclome back, Prince of York.

Just wish he used some of his weaving zigging and zagging to get past Conca instead of that horrible handball that missed the Carlton player by 10 metres.

 

[Mondyboy]

I rate Adelaide as the next key game for rotation after Gold Coast.

Look, as it stands, we've got Martin, Cuningham and McGovern due back and Dow banging down the door, so the rotation looks pretty much like a best 22 scenario, with just a couple of tweaks.

We need fresh legs for pressure purposes, or we'll be completely out of gas by the Sydney game.

Teague did hint at others likely getting a run during his pre-match presser on Friday. So I think you’ll get your wish. I can certainly see Eddie and Simmo being rested.

Very very lucky..but bout f...ing time.
But dont let it gloss over some areas of concern.
The 1st half was poor. 12 inside 50s to 24.
Midfield again very average for too large a part of the game.
2nd half we had 29 inside 50s. But forward line didnt do their job. And why did we have kennedy and newnes down there..with betts and levi too slow.
Betts gibbo not doing enough.
So poor chunks in the game, mfield not playing well enough all game, small forwards just not doing their job and the poor basic simple skill errors and bad decision making is killing this group. They have ago and are very resilient. They def have improved but these issues are still very much there. Its almost like we got to get 115% out of the group cause they f up so much. Its frustrating cause we all now know when they get it right they can give it to anyone.
Just hoping as they get more games as individuals and together as a team these issues become less and less. It has too for us to take the next couple of steps.

 

[FairKouta]

Bit sad martin doesn’t come back for the suns game

 

[Blue Ratts]

Sorry all, will hand in my dad joke badge immediately...

Dunno, its all in the whiting

 

[KnightsBlue]

all night?

All week

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Still can’t believe we got this one. Feels like we are never on the right side of these results.

Not sure how I’ll go falling asleep tonight so cant imagine how Jack will go! Must be on a ridiculous high and good on him.
