Autopsy Rd 7 Blues lose after the siren in a thriller

[kingkingston]

Well at least Eddie Betts got his 300th goal for Carlton and did it in Eddie Betts style

 

[AB_Blue]

Why does Gibbons decide to kick long?
Surely our players know the time left?
Not one player running into space for a short kick? Even a backwards kick to kill time...
I'm dumbfounded.

I’m sure they will Learn from it

I feel like a fight someone square up

Im doing my staffs pay roll at the moment and their time sheets had better be goddamn perfect

Plowman showed his importance in team structure and how he plays his role today. He’s having quite the year alongside Weitering.

Walshys best game this season too. Fantastic shift.

plow was ****ing immense........

I'm still recovering from Peter Burgoyne doing the same thing to us 20 years ago..........

Would a strong molasses and oat shake help at all?
Might watch a good sports movie to cheer up. One where I know the end is awesome.

I'd fully love it if people could stop using 'r*ped' to describe umpiring in football. Thanks in advance from your friendly neighbourhood Flying Vampire Pigbat.

It hurts but we should really be excited by what we are seeing. Was hoping Pitt would monster a rookie ruckman, but that really cost us today.

What we are seeing is sustainable. With guys like JSOS and Fish waiting in the wings. If today we played the best team in the comp, its time to get excited.

At least this time it wasn’t at Moron Park

Yep and yep....

Riccardo, Dixon and Sticks have all broke my heart after the siren....

Riccardi's was touched....that is what hurts the most

 

[The Grover]

It was mainly the kicks though. We kept kicking it over our forwards or on top of their heads and easy pickings for the Backman. Our kicking from defensive 50 to the wings was atrocious all game and kicking into the 50 was even worse.

It’s not the kicks, it’s much easier to make ground moving forward than going backwards.

So be a bit further back and get a jump at it.

Pitto’s marking attempts were embarrassing.

The other talls were pretty good until last qtr.

I’ve never gotten over Peter Riccardi’s kick after the siren which came off Simon Wiggins fingernails, swung back in and went through to win them the game. After we came back from 6 goals down at 3 quarter time, too.

**** EM UP WOOKIE GET EM

 

[SBYM]

lol at people moaning because Plow got beaten in one contest by Robbie Gray.

 

[Gw2_James]

What is up with sps this year? He doesn't do much at all, he needs to be replaced.

 

[slashin_velvet]

Weitering should have gone to Dixon. He was a massive factor in the game and we just let port take advantage of it. Disappointing

Westhoff murders us all the time. You put Weitering to Dixon, then they have a much better kick for goal taking all the marks.

Blight in the 1970s also

 

[blue6ers]

We need to learn how to control the footy and waste some time.

 

[Rustica]

Its so ****ing frustrating. We win and we have arrived, teams and opposition supporters take notice. Now they are just mocking and taking the piss again. I ****ing hate losing these sort of games. Rather get flogged by 10 goals

 

[kingkingston]

Should of lost by 5 goals in reality

heck no

 

[F_therest]

Massively disappointing, the lack of composure at the end will provide a lot of teaching moments.

Brilliant games from Plow, Weiters, Gibbons and plenty others. Walsh is getting his teeth into the season now.

we’ve had a tough run of games, we’ve played most of the eight. We get Freo, Nth, Hawthorn 3 of the next four weeks (with maybe Adelaide on the way home). Rack up some wins and we’re in this season up to our eyeballs.

We're 2-2 in games under a goal...would be nice obviously to get to 3-1 but ultimately can't complain.

With all these close games we should be better at closing games out though with all the practice.

Melbourne - Got level but didn't capitalise on opportunities
Geelong - Lucky that they kept missing shots they should have kicked...were also 2/3 men down
Essendon - Also gave them a kick after the siren, saved by the distance
Port - Again give them a kick after the siren...and they kept intercepting, we couldn't get any field position. Also 2 men down in the last.

To be honest we haven't finished any of those games particularly well and luckily hung on to win 2 of them. Need to get better in these situations.

 

[AB_Blue]

When Gibbons, kicked the ball down the line why wasn’t there a Carlton player there to punch the ball over the boundary line, instead they took a soft uncontested mark, and went forward

We had 3 actually. They were all out of position and flying for the same mark

****. Thought we had it. We are up and about. Wish Cunners kicked through it

Cunners needed to kick through it or pass it to use up more time, instead of a nothing kick that made it easy to run through a point.

Gibbons played well but needed to slow it down in the last few minutes.

Kennedy’s last 10 mins not great ....handball centre clearance to no one allowed Port an easy possession.

SPS showed some composure in the last 10mins not many others did.

 

[Davey33]

he gets beaten alot in one on one's doesn't he?

well he was when it counted, right?
