Charlie's off the boil.
But he's just as likely to a kick a bag next week.
That's the kind of player he is...
Can't wait for his 'complete' game.
I still don't think we've seen it, but we know he's capable of it

I can't find the latest figures, but as of the 8th August, Charlie was leading the Coleman. So for most of the season he was on fire. But lately everything seems a little off - his leaps, his running patterns, positioning, body work. kicking for goal. He looks very ineffectual compared to the earlier games IMO.

Sleeping on it still didn’t make it better.

Shattered by that result.

Let's face it, we got away with a few close games early in the season. It was only a matter of time before we lost one.
Short memory.

Collingwood game last time around

And this time last year, we had just completed our review...
We were still going through the Ross Lyon stuff up.
We still hadn't signed Voss, Cook etc
We still didn't know if the playing list had what it takes.
We were still scratching our heads as to what this club had become.

Know the feeling, actually had a hard time sleeping!

Gutted, a popular and accurate feeling expressed by many of us BlueBaggers.

A tremendous effort under finals like pressure. And a painful lesson learned re the final 2 minutes. But so many players will have learned so much from that experience, indeed what is required for 120 minutes to get to the top of the tree. Invaluable.

Jekyll and Hyde stuff. What we witnessed from a very undermanned side last night was a team, commitment/discipline/attitude/persistence/dare/talent wise, that can match it with the best. A far cry from the previous few weeks.

As a critic of Setterfield, credit given where due... he lifted and was an important cog. Did his job well.

Overall? Naches, as our Jewish friends might say. Along with gutted!

Now to bring that, and more, next Sunday arvo.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It was great to see, in the middle of the match, Stocker getting a run in the middle...

Well done, young man!!

It's been a roller coaster ride since then. In less than a year I  suspect we have the answers to many key questions.

As exhilarated and as devastated as I am right now, it will come down to this. The final roll of the dice against the old enemy. Win and we're where we deserve to be. Having a taste for finals. Although last night was a sampler.

Go Blues

Charlie has come up against the Geel, Melb and Bris defences, 3 of the best in the comp. Next week will also be a challenge.

Fisher has seriously improved his kicking with the non-preferred foot - so there might still be hope for a few of his teammates.

Was good to see him in the thick of the action, looks a bit heavy and his kicking needs work, those laconic kicks need to hit the target more.

Was going to say Grundy but that would cost alot in $$$$.
Yes but just pause for a moment or two and think of our side with Grundy as the no 1 ruck.

I have just watched the replay.  Leaving aside problems caused by poor foot skills and an inability to control use of the ball at the end of quarters, the real problem is the stress put on our midfielders by having to play to a losing ruck match after match.

  What a difference it would have made tonight if we had had a  tall, mobile ruckman who was able to give our mids a better than even chance of getting first use of the ball.

If we have to go into next season with Pittonet as our main ruckman then we are almost certain to have the same inconsistent results during 2023 as we have had this year.




Got smashed in the ruck, Gawn and Jackson monstered us all night.
Probably a credit to our mids we did so well as they had no support from Pittonet.
Jack was more value imho...

Whoever was on Spargo did a great job and Langdon was really nullified as well.  Lots of players 'did their job' against quality opposition.
