Blues v Pies - Post match analysis

Didn't disgrace ourselves, but didn't really distinguish ourselves either.

A lot of things that could be said, but I'll mention just one ; too many pie floaters. We kick the ball to the right place, but the trajectory is almost parabolic, giving the opposition ample time to come in and spoil the mark.

Pretty average result. Neither team would be overly happy with that.

But another game, another loss.

Didn't disserve to win
We don't work hard enough
Murph needs to find a way to shake tags
Had our chance to get back in it but fluffed our chances as bloody usual
Dumb decision making
Poor skills

Umpiring in general is joke.
What the hells happened to the holding the ball and pushed in the back interpretations ?

Lowest crowd between these 2 teams at the MCG since 1921!

That says a lot about the modern game, and a lot about the sunday night fixture.....and a bit about the weather.

In the new edition of the umpiring manual those pages went missing.

Another week another game we could've won fluffed.

Murphy, Henderson miss two easy goals, straight up the other end for a goal. 23pt turnaround all up, we lost by 15.

Disappointing loss but we weren't as bad as I feared we might be. We lack poise and polish but we fought it out to the end against tough opposition IMO. We definitely need more class, especially in the midfield and our tackling and pressure on the opposition ball carrier is too often very weak.
Reality always wins in the end.

With Murphy held and Judd and Gibbs not dominant we looked very one paced through the midfield, Curnow, Carrazzo and McLean are all plodders.
Warnock was soundly beaten by Collingwood's P Plater, our foot skills were poor as usual, Armfield and Menzel had shockers.
Walker, Tuohy, Simpson, Robinson, all good but Collingwood were much better on the break and used it just a bit better than we did.
Can't fault the endeavour, they're busting their guts.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Menzel is going to win our goal kicking by the looks of it.

Nothing to get excited about a side from we got close.

Agree with all the above.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

How shocked did Warnock look when he took a contested mark from the kick in?

We push everyone, top to bottom, just don't get around to beating anyone.

Too many light bodies that cant break tackles and make tackles stick,  a couple of slow players that cant get away from players and too many poor skilled players who also make dumb decisions.....ie Curnow.
When you are a very average kick like Curnow you need to keep it simple...hand it off or look for the safe option...
