Autopsy Rd 6 - Huge first half but Blues lose heartbreaker by 5 points

[Smegger]

Posted earlier today that i'm not going to get too emotional until we're a contender.

That loss hurt. ****!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bluechip66]

Damn....I thought we had that...they fought out to the end, which shows the spirit is there..
Especially with 3 down on the bench....

Go Blues

 

[Cliffords Blues]

Very disappointing
We just cannot do 4 quarters.
When we can, look out.

 

[RAPPA]

Back to the VFL, Eleni.

Really gutted. Something went wrong in the third.
Really unlucky with the last ten seconds, we didn’t hear the siren and thought Harry had that mark.

i GUARANTEE you if that was hawthorn the mark wouldve been paid

He’s a young coach and he is learning, but his coaching cost us the game today

I suspect that losing Simpson, Newman and Kreuzer to injury may have had more to with it.

 

[bleednavyblue]

Hopefully this loss burns them and they take out this bitter loss on Norf next week

 

[brixyblue]

Imagine that from half time to 3 qtr time 7 frees to 6 all the way to 15 frees to 7

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Same old story: can’t play 4 quarters of consistent football. Third quarter non-event (again) costs us the game. Should never have lost that after the first half. Very very disappointed.

Fisher needs to develop a right foot. Plowman cost us lots today. Silly kicks and handballs straight to a teammate under pressure when there were better options.

Lots to like, few little things need tweaking. We will be right.

Was Kruezer injured? He played most of that last quarter up forward when we probably needed him in ruck.

 

[bluemahogany]

McKay was ****ing molested all game

 

[sherb]

I went out and we were six goals up.
I came home and we had lost.
How does that work?

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Kreuzer injured, Simpson injured, Newman injured, Cripps injured, gave up a big lead in the third via some of the most slovenly play by any club all season. What a day.

The worst part is, I'm not even sure Hawthorn wanted to win that bad. We just invented ways of gifting them goals.

The only positive out of this game was Plowman, but he'll get bagged relentlessly cos he turned it over in the first.

 

[BIuebagger]

Infuriated. And we should be. A half of greatness and a half of pure shit. Not to mention the blatant disgusting umpiring . I laughed so much when Stevic got the word that it was a dangerous tackle by Plow 10 secs after it happened.

Left it too late. Too too late.

 

[rp84]

Let Plowman swim home

Thing is, he was great except for three critical errors. So frustrating.

 

[StandByyourMan]

He’s a young coach and he is learning, but his coaching cost us the game today

That is a p poor post. Go take a cold shower

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

I was happy when we recruited plowman but he costs us every match...... changed my mind.
I don't want to use the spud word but........and Jones does the spectacular and then the abysmal!

 

[cfc4life]

Oh and f you Marc Murphy, absolute liability who doesn't give 100%. He only needs to look at how much Daisy tries.

 

[Tennant]

While umpiring is woeful let’s not go down that path. This loss is on Carlton for not turning up after halftime and making some horrible horrible mistakes.

I think I need a break from watching Carlton, not good gettiing so stressed out watching them play. Yes they are improving but it’s incredibly frustrating and gets me in a bad mood lol

 

[rampar]

Bolts needs to start questioning the professionalism of the umpires, **** face clarkson does it beautifully

 

[M_I_G]

No Simmo no Carlton ?

I don’t want to downplay how important he is but we can’t rely on a guy who has maybe a year left in him. We can’t if we wanna be serious

Look how experienced these mother****ers are. Half the team have played 100+ games. **** off, ****ing old ****s.

 

[Nori]

Second half they opened up their forward line and got on top in the middle. It's disappointing but Carlton didn't given up and worked their way back into the game.

Basically lost the game by 1 Sec.

 

[SammaGilberto]

We are just no good. Good clubs find a way to win and we rarely win.

"GOOD" clubs aren't made up of KIDS, they have a core group of 100-300 game players that don't wilt under pressure. Just look at the first page and see the age demographic.

 

[ferrisb]

Losing rotations hurts, but I'm ******* filthy.

We had this half in the bag. We have to win those.
