Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 15: Carlton vs. Freo

[bratblue]

It begs the question, why have that type of player sitting on a HFF?

Some seriously strange moves

Kennedy looked the goods there. Teague can certainly see things that Bolton couldn't.

16 clearances is elite. Well done, Ed Curnow!

Think 20 contested possessions too. 32 all up. Just what we needed with Cripps out.

[PaulP]

10 goal kickers, and nary a forward among them.

Not a bad goal by Murf at the death.. At least he won't get bagged for another week.

That was his best game in ages. Confidence shot up about a million %. Calmly stepped inside the defender to kick that banana. Great sign. Epic game.

Ed was equally brilliant. Sheer will power - kept slamming the ball forward all game.

SOS on Fyfe was awesome. 7 tackles and nailed that set shot from the boundary. Has to be his best ever game.

Samo and Fisher were good.

Walsh was awesome - 30 pos and 8 tackles. We need to get his wrist X-rayed - he can't be 19.

Quick question: Why do we have to give the opposition 30-40 point head start before we kick in?

[jeza]

Can I just add - 2 of Freo's goals were clear tackles of the Carlton player on the line.

1 more was Walters ducking his head.

It would have been a cheat of a win had they won it.

What a roller coaster today.
Goalless first quarter, a fight back, got our noses in front near the end to have them take the lead with a minute left, but some smurph magic got us over the line.
I think I scared the neighbours with the scream I let out with that last goal.
And the best part is it was against freo. I hate freo, they’re like West Collingwood to me.

I scared the shit out of my wife with that last goal from Murphy. From all reports he had a ripper, led from the front. Wonder if spanner will give him any credit.

Gòoooooooooo Bluesss

Sam Walsh - 30 disposals but disposal efficiency of 33%
Wasn’t a day for disposal efficiency though - whole team went at 60%
Kennedy at 100% though. And next best was Dow at 85%

Yeah was a scrappy game but Walsh didn't have his most polished game. Needs to straighten up his kicking for goal in particular. For a 19 year old - that level of effort is incredible though. He just keeps running.

great viewing and a great team performance

a lot has been made of the old firm of Kreuz, Casboult, E Curnow, Murphy, Thomas, Jones & Simpson, but I thought JSOS, Samo, Dow (bar one poor decision to play on), Fisher, Obrien, Marchbank, OBrien all had great games after quarter time.

Plenty to work on - we need more from Mitch, Walsh's disposal needs work and Plowman makes way too many mistakes, ditto Newman. Kennedy was important but still way too slow. Can we get more from Setterfield?

Blue skys ahead with McKay, Cripps, C Curnow, Cunningham, Williamson & Docherty (when fit) & a developing DeKoning/Stocker will make us hard to beat. there's 8 players that could walk straight into our side!!

[Baggers]

Gee it's good to see moves being made when we're in strife. That move of SOJ onto Fyffe turned out to be a ripper... as JEZA said, gotta be SOJ's best game in terms of contribution and impact. Quelling Fyffe was a huge effort.

Also good to see LOB show some mongrel and back himself.

So good to hear commentators singing our praises.

What a fckn ripper win.
