Autopsy Rd 18 Blues go down fighting in Simmo's farewell game

[T2B_]

it was the Carlton fans chanting “Kreeeuze”

Can't believe a Blues fan didn't know that. We've been Kreeeeeeuz'ing him from day dot.

 

[TerryWallet]

That was one of our better performances tonight.

But beaten by the 2nd top team on their home deck where they've been all year.

Well done Kruez and Simmo. Honourable exits by honourable players.

 

[bigm386]

Do you ever stop complaining?

When we stop doing the same pathetic shit ever week yes.

You enjoy losing the day before the game?

 

[BlueZombie]

Well, all I can say is - hurry up trade period where hopefully we'll snag a goal-kicking centreman.

 

[Arr0w]

Another bad period/qtr, at least we know what we need. Stop the momentum quicker, players with better footskills all over the park

Last year we would have been spanked by 10 goals after that 2nd qtr

Plow was terrific, so too Walsh

Simmo still putting his body on the line

Solid platform for next year

 

[thylacine60]

Drinks instant coffee i heard.

no

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

On a not sad and positive note.... what a weapon Harry is looming to be.

Bloke is a jet and is still only 22 years old.

 

[Wily trout]

Second quarter sucked big time, but we fought it out and pretty much won the second half , from a team wanting to win the minor premiership (do we still call it that)? For the first time. Loved Simmo’s Game, Plowman was superb, Walsh wow, Martin was everywhere, Harry vice hands. I liked Gov down back and pushing up the wing, Eddie getting some important touches, Ed rock, Sammo seemed to play with more aggression over the ball. Anyway those are some of my thoughts.

 

[NumberEight]

"Good effort" "Not bad except the 2nd quarter" "tried hard".

All that stuff has to end next year.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Good tribute game from his "best mate". Broke his own short-step record tonight in the second half. I have no idea why a club that had this person as captain has been a soft-touch for the last 20 years.

 

[WFGodot]

FFS give Cripps the surgeries he needs! Yes plural! Poor bastard!

 

[Stamos]

Got beaten by the better team handily. Umpires didn't help but they weren't the reason we lost. We can't wrestle momentum from opposition teams and it's worrying.

Congrats to simmo and kruez.

And now the fun begins, silly season is officially upon us!

They kicked 4 goals from shocking free kicks and won by 17 points so...

 

[McConville]

2014 -2017 we were above or around the same mark as Brisbane. What a difference 3 years makes if recruitment, development and coaching are done well.

 

[thylacine60]

great we've re-energized rich's career in a matter of hours..........

 

[Cripptonite]

Proud of the way we fought out the game. Lost both our captains, away at the Gabba. Umpires gifted them 5 goals from dubious frees. Boys responded from Teague’s half time bake. Well done boys.

Walsh and McKay will be stars of the competition.

Thanks for everything Simmo! You are a deadset legend and will never be forgotten by Carlton fans.

 

[Own The Future]

So we chair an opposition player off after a loss, but don't chair a club champion off after the same?

What a strange club this is

My guess is Simmo and Kreuz turned down the offer.
Neither strike me as a “look at me” type.

 

[HBF]

Not enough love for Plowman

BOG for me

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Thanks Simmo and Krooze

 

[Pablito]

Great game today from Kennedy. His work in the contest is top notch.

 

[Juice030103]

Walsh is some player. Smokey for the best and fairest

 

[Mentallo]

Can we lobby the AFL for 3 30 minute periods next season and ditch the 4 qtrs crap?

 

[Kramer1]

Martin is not 100% and shouldn't have played

We watch the same game?

Martin was manic at the contest the entire night...a lone hand at times.

 

[BlueBayou]

Club needs to start calling out the umpiring ... the inconsistencies are ******* glaring. Same sh*t different rules for us ... sick of it.

This.
Loudly.
From the rooftops

Can you imagine Clarkson or Hardwick putting up with that BS?

 

[Juice030103]

I said at halftime to go out fighting and that’s exactly what they did. Had many out today. Add some players over the offseason and it’s finals bound for sure

 

[Mondyboy]

I forgot to mention Kade. Love you man! You were epic tonight. Was a Kade Simpson in a bottle effort.
