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

[Ahuitzotl]

I don’t think I’ll watch that one again.

And I stand corrected. Dissent is a free kick, according to rule 18.8.2(d). I suspect Coniglio said a bit more than the ump let on.

That ground was a dogs breakfast. No idea how a game can be played before the main game on that surface.

Thank f no major injuries came from that ugly game is all I have to say

 

[I bleed Blue]

Barracking for this club is like having kids.

You love them dearly. but my god. Sometimes you could just..

 

[BlueTang]

After the weekend we will be in the top 4, lets hope we stay there for the rest of the year

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Go Baggers
Thank **** for that….

 

[Blueballs38]

I will say two things … **** I love this clan ….. but serious
stop giving me heart attacks!

 

[T2B_]

Soooooo.... who ISN'T watching that replay?

 

[dylan_mike1]

I really like how Motlop is developing. He has taken a good step up from last year. Looks like he will become a player.

who is brave enough to dissect that one?

 

[Jabba73]

Learning to win ugly is the next step, we have taken it.

Now we need to learn how to finish sides off while we are on top. No good leaving them within striking distance, will come back to bite us again. Killer instinct required.

 

[KJP7]

Massive sign of growth, today had banana peel written all over it.

We played a better system for longer and got the points. Did what good teams do

 

[Warsaw]

Played about 30 minutes collectively through three games of quality football, but have yet to lose.

A lot of work to do, Walsh can't come back soon enough (and by that I mean only when he is conditioned and 100%) but you bank these points early, so that you can make a more informed opinion about progress and gameplan in June.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Would rather win ugly than lose sexy.

but I wanna win sexy! Is that so much to ask?!

 

[Jabba73]

who is brave enough to dissect that one?

Wouldn’t mind chopping into small pieces so it can be disposed of more easily.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

So many mixed emotions.

Dominated. Not in the scoreboard.
Put ourselves in jail. Got ourselves out of it.

Ultimately, I’m happy. We’ve shown immaturity, yet maturity in the same match.

Last year, we’d have lost this game. But we found a way to pull ourselves over the line by sticking to what we know. Again, equally parts happy, confused, pissed off. Such a strange game. Yet happy to get the 4 points.

Should’ve won by 10 goals ultimately, so we deserved to win. Well done blues.

Yep and some of our most mature players, Weitering, Doc , Saad, play with complete immaturity and go into full panic mode, yet young blokes like Holland , Young etc stay composed and show maturity.

 

[Accidental genius]

LOB came on early and could’ve proven his worth to play a full game. He had the chance and floundered it.

he just doesnt have what it takes unfortunately. has some skills but other areas are too weak. just got to hope he can make improvement.

 

[David Sylvian]

Conversion please. More fumbles than an Auskick game. Too many darts watching thru the screen door.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

We would have absolutely definitely without any shadow of doubt have lost that game in the past few years.

With the missed shots (10 more scoring shots) we did our very best to give them a sniff.

Trust me today was a good sign of progress , top 4 still on the table

 

[Bringbackeddie]

I don’t recall ever being so annoyed after we’ve won a game. Feels like the same old shite we’ve been watching for years - except one small thing - we actually WON.

Motlop played his best game imo. Career high possession count for Cripps. Charlie’s two goals were fantastic. Hollands and Acres are doing a great job so far.

Time to give someone other than LOB a chance at the sub role.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

he just doesnt have what it takes unfortunately. has some skills but other areas are too weak. just got to hope he can make improvement.

No more please had so many chances

 

[GinTonic]

Horrible game of footy and we were lucky to get out of gaol thanks to a dubious free kick.

Our game plan is putrid, for a team that has two Coleman medalists we’ve had quite a few goalless quarters under Vossy. We are also two men down playing both Fisher and LoB.

Positive is that we are 2 wins and a draw from 3 close games.

 

[philreich]

Geez Blues fans - your goal kicking is almost as crooked as a Crows CEO!!! But well done on the win.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

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.

 

[Accidental genius]

i would have thought those conditions would suit players like fish. He was very underwhelming.

 

[Tjblues]

This is one I think we need time to digest to really grasp the positives. Dirty old game where not much went right.

But it’s another win. A gritty interstate win. Lost to Gold Coast at a very similar stage last year and gws haven’t proven to be pushovers so far this year.

Newman, Cripps, Charlie, Mots, JSos our best for mine.

Fish and O’Brien will really not enjoy the review.

A massive shout out to Acres who clearly wasn’t right and kept battling and played an important role.

Also Gov. 1 bad kick but did way more right than wrong today and stood up under pressure.

Finally Hollands. I feel like we’ll stop mentioning him at some point because we’ll get used to the fact that he’s an unbelievable competitor and fights well above his weight class. But he continues to impress me more and more.
