Autopsy Rd 3 Blues beat Giants - We're not putting that one in a time capsule

[HereComesJuddy]

You're forgetting Silvagni

JSOS' 1st quarter was outstanding imo

 

[Schoonerman]

It’ll be interesting whom out of Doc or Cripps gets 3 votes from this game.

It’ll be either Cripps or Newy
imo

 

[F_therest]

True add JSOS to the list.

Also Whitfield, I swear it was like he had a Carlton jumper on today, quite a few really bad turnovers. Offset the great game from Kelly.

Cripps 3, Kelly and Docherty 2 or 1 each.

They all played great games.

 

[katmanblue]

That 60 metre goal was a serious Clanger. Lol.

He does kick to the he opposition quite a bit.

I'll answer you rather than two peanut gallery members I blocked years ago:

If you know the ball is going to go somewhere a lot of the time, and that player is hard to stop in the direct contest - eg. breaks tackles, has speed, strength, read, whatever - you might find yourself in a position where your best move is to not try to get a hand on them, but to shutdown the quality and opportunity of where the ball goes next.

For a forward, you often drop a player in front and focus on pressuring the ball carrier. For a midfielder, you sit on their nearby team mates and get in the way of their exit from the stoppage, at the bare minimum sending them off on an angle, ideally on the wrong side for them to kick cleanly on. You have the defensive playmaker sit off them with space and time to react.

Tell me, how many times was Cripps able to exit a stoppage and get onto his right foot for a clean kick?

Cripps had a game high 11 score involvements…

I listened to this in the car driving home for 3 quarters, thus the threadbare autopsy (thanks Gethelred for having my back). Sounds like there is no reason to watch the replay, aside from seeing my fave JSOS going well in the first half.

2 ugly games, one good game. I'm not convinced by us in any way.

We’re not playing nowhere near where we would like but we’re 3rd and have 20 more games to improve….

Oh and BTW we get SW back soon.

Been a while where I’ve fallen asleep watching a game to then wake up and not miss any goals.

Out: Whoever is handing out the grippo, must have mixed it up with jizz

In: anybody who can lower the eyes and hit a target (or not blaze away madly, either works in U15 footy, surely would help in our games)

 

[Jimmae]

Just checking, do you rate dow over LDU?

No, but I also don't rate us completely writing him off. For what it's worth, I don't think the match committee has.

I wanted us to draft LDU over Cerra and Dow.

 

[JustaBattler]

Sadly it's too much along the lines of he single-handedly racked up fantasy points, though it's not that bleak. Even if you attribute all of the extra clearances we had over GWS directly to him - and I will pay you that at the centre bounce - he had the worst kicking efficiency on the ground (29%), all while having 17 kicks.

The only other player who was in the ball park of being this awful with the football was Coniglio, but he had a really mediocre day. Basically both of them sprayed a lot of attacking opportunities as they struggled to exit the contest.

The two rucks provided Cripps a little more first use, but this was so constantly directed at him that the opposition had a simple plan to negate its influence. This is the stoppage equivalent of how we kicked to Fevola under the Pagan era. Voss snapped Carlton's hand off when the opportunity came to get Fevola, what a surprise that he's done it again with Cripps.

Loves his favourites and his focal points.

Despite the fatigue-induced clanger factor

Cripps was BOG by a fair margin ( certainly bOG for Carlton by an even wider margin) - he ran himself into the cow paddock they were playing on was instrumental in winning some much ball in tight situations - had to play for Kennedy's absence and Hewett's obvious on handed game and pinch in for Acres as a receiver out wide because Acres was literally playing with one arm.

As for winning CBB what do you want him to do - not see ball get ball? Carlton wasn't playing against a weak midfield today or didn't you notice?

C'mon already enough with the pizztakes.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Motlop took a Giant leap with his composure and influence today. Building beabeautifullyHes

He's going to be a gun. I love watching him.

Looks like Andy Samburg gets a rest for round 4 then

 

[The Flying Doormat]

That has to be your worst take ever

April Fool's?

I've already pointed out he was BOG, it's just his 42 disposals look more impressive than they are. It's a nice number, but it's an indictment on the coaches for funnelling that much ball through him instead of crafting some new solutions.

We had centre bounce looks where the entire premise was to pave the way for Cripps to run at it regardless where the ball was hit, and GWS was happy to let us do that. It was like a dumbed down version of Judd-era West Coast. We are big dumb.

 

[carltonchelsea]

He didn't swear though? He had his arms out and said "hows that not a free kick?".

I’d bet my house that there was a f’ing thrown in there.
Regardless, you can’t do it anymore, free kick, it was probably the last straw for that ump, he’d had enough.

 

[Large Hawaiian]

For the record, he performed well once Fisher was sweeping. He was getting worked over by Greene until then, hell the whole defence was under siege until we subbed O'Brien in.

Spare me.

 

[Jimmae]

Spare me.

Can you tell me how many times they played on each other? I'm serious, I don't know, and I don't think anyone else does either.

Saad had a great game, so did the 3 forwards and 6 midfielders that constantly went back into defence. What did they do there?

Supporters, commentators, everyone that watched the game knows

 

[Benaly28]

Shite ground and conditions made our skills look second rate.

We did have 29 shots at goal.Split 10 of those 50/50 we win by 6 goals.

Tackle count was low (39) last week (69) mindset and pressure was off.

it seems like so long ago, gee that first quarter looked like a shoot out and we looked average, they were cutting us apart

I must say kudos to the coaches (normally criticise not being able to turn things around), it turned back into a dour struggle, thats our game plan right

I would appreciate it if we could convert on our limited opportunities (game plan still needs us to kick sausage rolls)

Or maybe you could say that the easiest play in CBB was Pittonet to Cripps - I think the game was a pretty tough contest between midfields - there was a lot of ground ball gets and serious contested play going on iyt was an arm wrestle - Carlton had Cripps and Cerra as the only two fit mids - with Ed and then Docherty covering for Hewett in CBB who was just a big body in there today...

You can only play a game plan that your fit players allow for - I don't have a problem with the coaching in this area tbh - no need to say how good it will be to get the run of Walsh back in 2-3 weeks time.

I know for a fact that a player was given the responsibility of minding Toby Greene, I’m equally certain that person was Nic Newman. I also know that Toby had 5 touches for the game. I’m going to triangulate those facts and come up with the conclusion that Nic Newman played another effing good game. Once again, spare me.

 

[HyphensBack]

Gotta echo the sentiment - Newman was very good today

Lot of dropped marks

Tip my hat to Acres - obviously playing injured but kept having a crack

JSOS - 9 marks, that’s the 3rd key forward role I want him playing

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Newman rinsed Green and did well on the counter. Best on by a country mile !
