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

[HereComesJuddy]

Desperate to get Walsh back after that showing and gee wasn't Kennedy missed.

It was nearly "no Kennedy, no Carlton" today

Bizarrely, Giants are probably a more frustrating team for their supporters to watch than Blues are for ours.

Love the effort of the team, and my god they are as tough as nothing else.
I just really, as in REALLY need them to put an opposition team away when the chance presents.

...

Games like this are why the above happened. 10 point win? Should've been 40.

10 points is a thrashing for us

 

[Accidental genius]

I fear we're in a loop where our constant dump kicks out of defence means no one is presenting properly in the middle third of the ground, and our dump kicks into F50 means our forwards have lost the art of separation and functional leading patterns.

McGovern kicked some loose balls into the corridor but at least he is one of the few to attempt it. Once it starts to work more often than it doesn't we're going to be a force to be reckoned with

i thought gov did some good things

Fisher would be dropped, Kennedy to the VFL seconds

 

[Accidental genius]

He stood up well when it counted in the last thou.

yes he was better in the last but we need him to put in earlier so that we dont end up struglling to win in the end. we really needed to put them away earlier.

 

[Jabba73]

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

Steady on philthy rich, sounds a bit like a cooking vessel commenting on the dark shade of another cooking vessels appearance.

Two years ago, we lose that game.

That is called progress.

Last season we lose this game. Name the season in the last 15 years and we lose this game.

This is a new Carlton!

Owies back to basketball

Ugly win or not, you guys should all thank me and the covid I caught this week. In previous years I would've driven up from Canberra for this game (and had plans to do so with my 6 yo daughter today) before driving home after we lost by 80 or 90 points. Didn't go and we eke out a win. Coincidence? Yes

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Barracking for this club is like having kids.

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

I couldn’t watch anymore after LOB cough up kick, know the feeling

 

[David Sylvian]

Won on the road.

 

[Arr0w]

What’s going on with Harry - in a rut

Taylor is a gun. Harry will rip North a new one

 

[Accidental genius]

Won on the road.

yeap take the win for sure. as ugly as it was we got over the line.

This is a new Carlton!

If this is the new Carlton... Thank you but I hate it.

 

[BrianSetzer]

We were as bad as I’ve seen but we still managed to win. Much rather this feeling than the other way. Hope they can work out what’s not working.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I roasted him on a couple of occasions on the game day thread, but honestly thought Fisher was pretty influential in that final quarter, did a couple of potential goal saving acts and thus still deserves to be in the team next week.

Really frustrating player to watch at times, but I am glad he showed poise when we needed in the final stanza.

 

[thebluenewdeal]

One of the green maggots had a punt on this game.. all I can say is thank you and goodnight

 

[The Sultan]

Ugly win, ugly game, we would’ve lost that in previous years… will take it

 

[BigBreakfast]

Owies back to basketball

Owies back to basketball

He kick 2 goals ffs!

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

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.

Only difference is that we are second on the ladder, not second last

 

[BigBreakfast]

If this is the new Carlton... Thank you but I hate it.

Hate being in the top 4?

+3 goals last week.

 

[teknodeejay]

So much negative to be said but I will say something about Fisher.

He was bloody useless for three quarters.

And then in the last quarter he gave everything he had for the team and was brilliant.

Where the heck was that in the first three quarters?

LOB cannot be the sub again next week he’s not match fit sitting on the bench for 3/4 every week. VFL time for him.

Cowan did very well today I thought. Battled on and held his own against bigger opponents and under pressure.

Silvagni justified why he’s a great clubman and should be in when healthy.

Next time can we kick 20.10 and just be done with the game by 3/4 time? Geez.

Not convinced about where we are at yet but will hold more positive hope.

I guess we would have lost that game last season ala the Gold Coast beat up we copped.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Taylor... I'd easily give 2 mid firsts for that guy. He is unbelievable
