Chin up blues fans, I'm a pies member but I really enjoy this channel and am envious of the community you have here on this platform from the fan cams etc. I watch it all the time, came here from swoop and pommy content. Blues will be back, could have gone either way and still a top 4 side easily. The list is crazy good 👍 I remember watching these vids this time last year when everyone thought the world was crashing down and now you're one of the scariest sides and will probably win a flag soon.
Thanks very much for your kind words brother I'm very disappointed with the result but we couldn't seem to clear the pill from the backline and through the middle in the last quarter you guys did your homework on keeping Cripps and to an extent Walsh from getting first hands on the ball
McGovern, kemp, Martin and hollands back next week please. Out young, fantastia, durdin and Williams can have a spell. Kennedy not the sub as well what a terrible thing to do to him. He has done everything asked of him and he's been in our top 10 this year.
On the crowd stuff, from my own perspective and where I was situated Shane Warne Stand lvl 2, the crowd is personnel based, you either have a crack and cheer the boys on or you don't, passive supporters that only get up when it's a close game at the end or maybe after a goal are part of the issue, even as little as a "c'mon Crippa!!!" throughout the game can do wonders, as someone around you will feel the energy and likely follow suit. I like to consider myself a loud and proud supporter, which I was last night, we don't have a collective chant that rolls off the tongue together, similar to what Cooooliiinggwwoooooddd has (as much as I hate to say it), we are missing something universal that can drown out a stadium and opposition supporters. The "Carlton *clap clap clap*" is not it, we should get around it cause we don't have a lot else don't get me wrong, but we need to devise a phrase or word we can collectively silence our rival supporters yet give our boys a lift on the field too. My 2 cents
I’m a Pies man. I’ve watched you before and unlike many shows of this type I find your’s balanced and respectful. I’ve been saying for a couple of years about the Blues that I reckon you’re lacking another key back and a line breaker or two. That’s not to say you can’t win it this year. Reckon Jack Martin is a bigger loss than many people give him credit for.
Just nowhere near as good as we thought we were at the moment. We have to stop comparing ourselves to the back end of last year. We haven’t been that team this year (eg. Lack of pressure) We’ve really felt the losses of those out injured the last two weeks. We had it in our hands when we hit the lead in the last quarter, either step up and bury them and make a statement , or step off and say it’s all too hard. We crapped ourselves and stepped off. We’re just not good enough. Not a top 4 outfit yet
Next 2 games are a must win if we want to make top 4 let alone top 2 If our forward entries don’t change, then forget it. Long bombs doesn’t work. Charlie need to lead into space and get ball delivered in front not on his head
I almost never say the game was lost at selection, but this game was lost at selection. And then again later when Voss moved the magnets around a bit and they fell off the fridge. Your tone reminds me of you doing a review of a 2021 game. The feeling you expressed at the beginning of the Fan Cams was exactly what I was feeling. Seemed like it was all going so well...until it wasn't. Then the wheels came off and there was no getting it back. When I'm watching a game, I often find there's a theme or a leitmotif running through what I'm mumbling to myself or shouting at the screen. This time it was "What happened to...?" What happened to contested football? What happened to proper use of clearances? What happened to ball pressure? What happened to smalls blocking for the talls? What happened to Patrick Cripps? He looked like he was running in molasses all night. Zombie New Dad mode. What happened to the intent to get back into the corridor and using the width of the ground? What happened to the intent to tackle? Although to be fair, it should have been 62 if you count the blatant umpire failures to call obvious HTB/drops. Of course, that was not the difference in the game by any means, but just another element of frustration. What happened to the intent to do a handball march across the field? They used to actually practice that and did it earlier in the season. Flashback to the Teague Era when these boys played down to the level of the opposition and let them dictate terms. And the defensive press is still too high for too long. Drives me crazy. Newman basically a midfielder now, Weitering and Boyd practically HHF, and people wonder why we can't get back at times. No wonder wings are often fullbacks instead of working the corridor. Several new @$$holes better be torn after this, and that includes in the coaching box. I did not expect Zac Williams to lay an egg like that. Gave the first two goals away singlehandedly, the second one doing exactly what he had just been told was going to get called. And not much good the rest of the time. Young did alright, and I know he's going to be the whipping boy again. But the backline as a whole is an unholy mess and Weitering isn't solving anything by trying to be everywhere. Communication on handover and movement is a disaster. Whose fault is that? Kickouts still a major problem, led to a few goals against once again. Pittonet was fantastic, taking marks, interceptions, blocking, part of handball chains - not his fault his teammates have brain freeze once he drops it in their laps - almost best on ground. That was Acres. Can't say enough about his effort to put the team on his shoulders when no one else was trying to win. He was everywhere all game. He even had an English Premier League goalie moment. Walsh has his head up his @$$ again. But aside from all the negatives, once again we play like cr@p but are within a goal when the opposition does their best. I don't even know what to do with that now.
As fans, we have to admit that even though we loathe Collingwood, we’re scared of them. That’s why the noise just wasn’t there, we were just so tense all game. Deep down, we were waiting for the Pies to break our hearts, and of course they did (good teams don’t let you get away with things). We don’t quite believe as a fan base as much as we thought we did.
We were ordinary, no outside run or dare. But we lost to last years Premiers by 6 pts. And last week by 8 pts to the Premiers from 2022. We are thereabouts and still have a lot of improvement to come. I prefer losing to the filth now than later in the year or finals. You dont win flags in May so relax. Missing pieces in the puzzle are McGovern, Marchbank and Saad. We also look better with Martin and Motlop in as well. Cerra and Cunningham looked a bit lack of match conditioning. They will get better. Hurts now but have faith in Voss. He will get this right.
@@iankearns774 Oh Absolutely, but similarly to last year, we just look a few steps behind, something hasn’t clicked just yet. It may be a combination of a-lot of things. Im sure we’ll come good, it’s just frustrating to watch a team we know are 10x better than this.
I was angry / disappointed last night until I watched the fan cams. Then some our so called fans come on saying that Harry needs to be traded, and that the season is over etc etc. This pissed me off more than the loss. Seriously, with fans like these who needs the Pies as enemies....
It's hard not to catastrophize at the moment. Just thought we were past these kind of "off with the fairies" performances. Just seemed very off; not being able to execute the basics even remotely sufficiently (story of the year imo). Kind of sick of it at this point - but I'll always back them in. Astounded by your patience during the fan cams last night ahaha! GBs
I hope you dont mind me posting as an Eagles fan, but I was barracking for the Blues hard last night - as I was in 2022 (more loudly than most of the actual Blues fans, yes I get passionate), so it was so deflating to lose again by a goal. So sick of the Pies winning close ones, I'm sure you guys will bounce back and get your revenge too.
@BlueAbroad yeah I don't know why I spent an hour watching the fan cam - I think it's the sense of community, shared experiences and hopes. I wish we had something like that for the Eagles, you're doing a great job and keep it up!
Im butt hurt over this one. Some selections i cant make sense of and im not an expert however i would like to know why reasons behind Fanta, Young, Kemp, Kennedy, Binns, Hollands......... oh and I'm not against banning alcohol at the venue.
61 inside 50s to 38, 21 tackles to 9 inside our forward 50. They also had 30 more tackles, they just swarmed us, outplayed us and made it a Collingwood game locked in there forward 50 and setup the ground so we couldn’t get it out. Simple, no answers from the coaching staff.
Lost by 6pts and some of those were rushed behinds. We lost at half back - centre line which is why they had so many inside 50s which we kept rebounding. Acres and Cottrell need to hold their width on the wing as we got it out but no one to kick it too. Their wings were always there to slingshot forwards. It hurts but we were in the game all day. We will get better.
I feel you're frustration and I haven't watched anything at all until this morning on Monday.... I haven't even watched the replay of the mistakes in the last quarter not even the Daicos goal or the McKay short kick error/option
A couple of things really stood out. The most obvious was our decision making and ball use. Second was they outnumbered us in around the forward line, the back line and around the ball. So they ran harder, tackled harder and supported each other better. They deserved to win. We are not far away, but it's hard to know who or what is preventing us taking the next step. Is it cattle, or system? Either way, that's where we need to improve.
Watching the last few games has weirdly given me confidence. With a bunch of second choice players in, we’re right in games and can compete with the best in the competition. We’ll win some, lose some but we’ll be there with a chance. If we have most of our best players in, we’ll be clear top 4. Go Blues!
Random thoughts: Similar to Port, we don’t have a plan B. Other teams find the problems and plug the holes (Pies after q1). If our game plan isn’t working, that’s it. Wish they’d train without harry and Charlie as targets, it’s too easy for good opposition teams. That said, Saady, Gov, and Fog probably would’ve changed that game. Our speed/two way running is a problem, so while I understand why Ollie was dropped he comes back in for me. Thought cunners did fine/keeps his spot, he’s important for us, not sure why others can’t see it.
No outside run. Our hesitancy at times was because no one was presenting. We need a third tall option forwards. Need to persevere with TDK and how he works with Curnow and Mckay.
Oh Terry, my how it stings 😩 My view is this, we mustn’t catastrophise. We’re on the right track, we need to learn from this and move ahead. It was frustrating to watch and so deflating to be beaten by them AGAIN, but what are we going to do, jump off them because we were poor? Yes we can be angry, upset, emotional, we’re well within our rights, but we have to process the loss, get some lessons, brush ourselves off and go again. It’s a marathon not a sprint! I hate that we lost but moving on. GBs
The allocation of tickets to our home game must be investigated. The Pies ability to outnumber at an away game for them makes no sense. The deal they have at that ground is not even. Where I was sitting was ALL Collingwood
It’s due to Collingwood having a deal with the MCG that no matter if its a home or away game at the MCG their members all sit at the city end of the MCG
People were forced to buy /upgrade tickets pre season for this one. Highly possible that many of our members wern't switched on to it, and then the allocation was made available to the Pies supporters who bought them up.
@@JimmyRaptis I was in the AFL area. And it felt like I was at a game at the Adelaide oval. Zero blues support. Zero. After the Daicos goal, apart from our cheersquad area and the forward pockets, the entire ground was up. The deal the pies have needs to be revealed
@@Upthegutz I don't disagree. The way I see it any club with 80K members plus should have priority access to their home games at the G. The pies should not have any special deals going on as we and other members are being sold access to a home game they may be unachievable.
Outside of them just beating us with system - locking it in their attacking half by forcing us to kick long down the line, we gave them a lot of soft goals. Daicos kicks 2 goals running through stoppages unmarked, Maynard gets 2 shots on goal with 0 pressure (kicks 1), we allow Sidebottom and Pendelbury to be free in the 4th qtr?!? Steele Sidebottom… and Scott Pendelbury… have we not been watching footy for the last 15 years? Big games have small margins, and they beat us on system and yet we still could’ve won it. When we won the semi final we forget that Melbourne really had the game sewn up… until they didn’t, because we gave ourselves a chance and took it. Have to execute better when our system isn’t on - and grit out those big game wins. We are still a good team. Let’s not leave the games before the final siren, we aren’t that plastic are we?
It hurts. It should and must hurt. The players need to soak it up and remember it just like Weiters saving that footage from a couple of years ago to drive his performance. We played into their hands by taking on tacklers and trying to find dinky handball targets in congestion. That partly explains their tackle count, even though their pressure was sustained and superior over 4 quarters. In contrast they hesitated to take the central kick too many times. The patchy pressure from our smalls and onballers hurts and we desperately need Fog and Motlop back ASAP. Hopefully Cerra is better with a run under his belt and Govs return is imminent.
19 points up you take control and tempo. We kept playing on at all costs which gave them opportunities they capitalised on. game wasnt over at half time but we put ourselves back into a losing position from a potentially commanding one.
still 5-3 but it almost feels like you are 3-5 when you lose to the pies, reality is we lost 4 points we bounce back big game against the Demons need to get this one or we risk going to sydney where we almost never win at 5-4. Go blues
Love your review Terry.I went to the game and feel disappointed that Blues didn't come away with the win.To be fair Pies played better and deserved the win.Hopefully these are lessons learnt and we roll them in the finals.What goes around comes around
That was a tough one to watch once the Pies got on a run and we went into our shells after being up by 19 points. As you noted, not sure how the team reverses that anxious energy on the field after the oppo gets back in it? We are so much better than that display with the weapons we have at our disposal. Def had my blood pressure through the roof. Still pissed.
Blues just werent on, looked tired. Blues can match them, they beat a full Pies squad last year, they can do it again. Losing by a goal could have gone either way. Let the ferals have the win in round 8.
It seems like, looking at the comments we got done by ten goals. We lost by a goal FFS! We played badly against Adelaide, Geelong and Collingwood and could have won them all. We’ve had so many injuries and setbacks and yet no one has put us away. Come on everyone. There are errors and tactical mistakes, but get some perspective Baggers! Collingwood won the premiership last year. Why would we think that a team with so many injuries would have problems, so early in the season. There were a few lapses of concentration which was the difference between the two sides. We have to work to get the balance right. We’re not far off!
6 days is plenty of time to be prepared for mine. 5 days is where it gets tough. We've had a string of 3 seven day breaks between games prior to Collingwood.
We all have collective trauma as supporters when it comes to the Pies. We all need to start having more belief and really get behind the boys. Go Blues 💙
Unfortunately we played worse than last week despite only losing by 6 pts - Negated in clearances. - beaten in tackles, inside 50s Even the clearances that we won didn't have the impact unlike the previous games. When the pressure got intense we went into our shells. But at least we were more efficient inside 50. Again you don't win games with 38 inside 50s. 3 Harry 2 Weitering 1 Walsh. It was also lost on the selection table as well. Kennedy Sub. Kemp out Young In. But I don't blame those individuals for the losing the game. But I did enjoy listening to Blues Radio at the game which kind of slightly drowned out the Collingwood chant.😁
It was frustrating to see us give a good lead at qtr time. We seem to allow the opposite the belief that we are beatable even with a good lead. Historically they know if they can get into our heads they can take it from us. We just need to be better. Having said that I enjoyed the close game and was glad the boys didn't give up. What cost us was poor decision making and execution of some passages of play under pressure that cost us dearly. We just need to learn from this and plug up the holes in our defence on a consistent basis. I believe though that our gaps are fixable for this season and all is not lost. Go Blues.
The boys looked a little tired last night.. just felt like they were flat footed and didn’t have their usual spark.. Collingwood played better than us.. sadly! we need to find other player avenues to kick our goals.. the Charlie/Harry combo is being exploited by the opposition - a little too predictable unfortunately. I also feel that we’re really working hard to get our goals whereas other teams are finding the goals a lot easier. Devastated but we need to work hard this week, hopefully we get some more of our more experienced players back next week for the Dees, we’ll get back on track we just have to have faith and hopefully the selectors make the right decisions over the next few weeks. GO BLUES 💙💙
As a Collingwood supporter and a woman I would never support bad behaviour from our own fans towards others especially as you said in relation to male violence against women. Great video anyway. Cheer up, Magpie fans felt this way last year after some bad losses. Were we the pretenders or the real deal? You have a great team and sometimes it's down to wanting it badly enough plus a bit of luck. Still don't want you to get a 16th premiership before us but good luck 😂
it’s simple we have this fear that we have of them it’s from top to bottom when they kicked 5 straight u already knew heads dropped we didn’t hear the crowds passion as we normally have collingwood didn’t shut up in the second quarter
Terry do you agree that Carlton also can be abusive too? Like you had Carlton men screaming "your a disgrace" "take off the jumper", in the tunnel, to your OWN players. fair enough or?
Did you selectively not listen to any of what I've said in my videos and live streams? I made this point super clear. Are you ignoring that or just trying to wind me up?
@@BlueAbroad I'm not winding you up. Your comments suggest that Pies fans do the line share of abusive acts. It's false and as for you winding you up, you boys deserve it. You talked the blues up and got beaten. Move on and be better. Your channel promotes a bloke who called us Scum, get used to hearing some strong feedback on this, Cheers
@@BlueAbroad Your channel had a bloke that described our club as SCUM. I have a right to call that out and wind you up with Collingwood support. You're a big boy Terry and i'm sure if you won you'd be talking. Next time, i'd hope you'd show us more respect and maybe you might beat us, in the meantime don't crack the sads.
@@jhproductions5090 so are you directing this comment to me or to someone else on the channel? I always showed respect to Collingwood. The tape is there for you to see.
@@BlueAbroad Your brand endorses those podcasts don't you? you platform them? Scum is a strong word. Especially when the "Scum" beat ya. Respect? not a word that Blue Abroad seems to have for the pies even through i believe pies fans respect the blues and love your content on socials.
As a pies supporter, the one feeling I get from these games is that the Carlton players just arnt invested in the rivalry. I also find that you struggle with leadership on the field just someone to settle the team down. But I wouldn't worry your team should finish top 4 but just need to acknowledge where the need to improve stop being so predictable in curnow and makay, and have your leaders lead on the field when it's needed.
Williams & Young costed us that game, more so Williams, but both were horrible. Both needs dropping. Williams isn’t in form & young isn’t good enough! Keep kemp until Marchbank gets up & running. Oh and Fantasia is a failed experiment. But I’m not too depleted as I know we have so many players still to return to our side.
So bloody angry about how things went down last,we add Gov Saad Motts Martin and Fog to this side and I believe we’ll be a much better outfit,Cerra also isn’t the player he was last year,hopefully he gets better with more games under his belt,Fantasia must never play for this side again,if we can get over the Dees next week we’ll be back on track as we get more troops back,go blues
I love your stuff Terry but a disagree a little. I think our confidence is way down. We have lost our ability to move the ball fast through the corridor and take sides on. It feels like we have taken a backward step and gone back to kick down the line in hope. Same with our mids- they have gone back to front running unaccountable footy. The anguish on Vossy's face said it all. For mine, Id play Charlie as a high forward to get him in the game more- just when needed and I'd tell Harry, Charlie and TDK to run through any small forward that flys against you- take note Durdin.
Everything happened so quick...was so disappointed how it turned out, we are way better than that as a team. Selection team i feel got it wrong...kenendy wouldve been much better than Fantasia. But other than that, its just pure hurt and disappointment. Its one of those games u just hope we get up for, we just passed 100k members, our home ground against the rivals like CMONNN. I still feel we're on the right track, can never doubt this team...its moments like these though that sting and soon we will get over it and move forward.
gotta aim to stay out of the bottom 4, that would be embarrassing to have rich, haw, wc and north above us. I can deal with the other teams because they have better players
I am so tired of losing to this mob man. 1-4 against Collingwood under Voss, 3 of those 4 by a kick or less. I just don’t get it, every time you walk away going “they wanted it more than us”, but why? Why don’t we want it more than them? Just don’t understand. It’s rough, I’m flat, hopefully they can respond next week and lift the spirits a little bit.
Curnow and Cripps need to learn how to play footy and play harder. Cripps is overrated and needs to play forward to gain confidence. He performs poorly in big games. He also needs to play back to get more hard balls and run more. He is soft. His knowledge and smarts are absent. Pendlebury exposed his ordinariness and lax approach. Does he tackle, or is he just waiting to claim the easy low hanging fruit. Curnow doesn’t seem to change much, but there is time for him. He needs to perform in all big matches
Ya didn’t believe us when we said we put the cue in the rack the last time we met. Locked in top 4 at that point in time and players started to not care as much, we also had a 4 week heavy training block to prepare for finals, but nope yall thought u were better than us at the back end of last season🤣 hold that L nice and high 🫶🏻
Good on ya meathead, I have seen Carlton beat you skirts 3 times in Grand Finals and trust me we are on the periphery of another dynasty like the 70s and 80s. Keep gobbing off mate. Your day will come, the colliewobbles tin is about to be opened again. For all your inside 50s and ascendency you won by one kick. Mull over that Einstein.
Two huge blockbuster crowds and this club fails miserably, the start of new losing streak has emerged again and no chance in winning the next two matches, no fucking chance.
@@BlueAbroad Being predictable, lack of confidence, lack of trust, no plan B, obviously missing players could be used as an excuse, and i believe are scared of high expectations.

Spot on, was having a smoke outside and I envisioned what happened, happening. I hate when my gut is right.

We are thereabouts and still have a lot of improvement to come.
I prefer losing to the filth now than later in the year or finals.
You dont win flags in May so relax.
Missing pieces in the puzzle are McGovern, Marchbank and Saad. We also look better with Martin and Motlop in as well.
Cerra and Cunningham looked a bit lack of match conditioning. They will get better.
Hurts now but have faith in Voss. He will get this right.
@@iankearns774 Oh Absolutely, but similarly to last year, we just look a few steps behind, something hasn’t clicked just yet. It may be a combination of a-lot of things. Im sure we’ll come good, it’s just frustrating to watch a team we know are 10x better than this.
No we arent. You might be.
I was angry / disappointed last night until I watched the fan cams. Then some our so called fans come on saying that Harry needs to be traded, and that the season is over etc etc. This pissed me off more than the loss. Seriously, with fans like these who needs the Pies as enemies....
I was stunned at that. Have we learned nothing?
It's hard not to catastrophize at the moment. Just thought we were past these kind of "off with the fairies" performances. Just seemed very off; not being able to execute the basics even remotely sufficiently (story of the year imo). Kind of sick of it at this point - but I'll always back them in.
Astounded by your patience during the fan cams last night ahaha!
GBs
"Off with the fairies" is a good way to put it.
I hope you dont mind me posting as an Eagles fan, but I was barracking for the Blues hard last night - as I was in 2022 (more loudly than most of the actual Blues fans, yes I get passionate), so it was so deflating to lose again by a goal. So sick of the Pies winning close ones, I'm sure you guys will bounce back and get your revenge too.
Happy to have you here anytime!
@BlueAbroad yeah I don't know why I spent an hour watching the fan cam - I think it's the sense of community, shared experiences and hopes. I wish we had something like that for the Eagles, you're doing a great job and keep it up!
Im butt hurt over this one. Some selections i cant make sense of and im not an expert however i would like to know why reasons behind Fanta, Young, Kemp, Kennedy, Binns, Hollands......... oh and I'm not against banning alcohol at the venue.
61 inside 50s to 38, 21 tackles to 9 inside our forward 50. They also had 30 more tackles, they just swarmed us, outplayed us and made it a Collingwood game locked in there forward 50 and setup the ground so we couldn’t get it out. Simple, no answers from the coaching staff.
Lost by 6pts and some of those were rushed behinds.
We lost at half back - centre line which is why they had so many inside 50s which we kept rebounding.
Acres and Cottrell need to hold their width on the wing as we got it out but no one to kick it too.
Their wings were always there to slingshot forwards.
It hurts but we were in the game all day. We will get better.
I feel you're frustration and I haven't watched anything at all until this morning on Monday.... I haven't even watched the replay of the mistakes in the last quarter not even the Daicos goal or the McKay short kick error/option
Looking forward to moving on and hopefully seeing the boys respond
A couple of things really stood out. The most obvious was our decision making and ball use. Second was they outnumbered us in around the forward line, the back line and around the ball. So they ran harder, tackled harder and supported each other better. They deserved to win. We are not far away, but it's hard to know who or what is preventing us taking the next step. Is it cattle, or system?
Either way, that's where we need to improve.
The collective desire was definitely down. That was the most frustrating part for me.
Out-hunted.
Watching the last few games has weirdly given me confidence. With a bunch of second choice players in, we’re right in games and can compete with the best in the competition. We’ll win some, lose some but we’ll be there with a chance. If we have most of our best players in, we’ll be clear top 4. Go Blues!
Random thoughts: Similar to Port, we don’t have a plan B. Other teams find the problems and plug the holes (Pies after q1). If our game plan isn’t working, that’s it. Wish they’d train without harry and Charlie as targets, it’s too easy for good opposition teams. That said, Saady, Gov, and Fog probably would’ve changed that game. Our speed/two way running is a problem, so while I understand why Ollie was dropped he comes back in for me. Thought cunners did fine/keeps his spot, he’s important for us, not sure why others can’t see it.
No outside run. Our hesitancy at times was because no one was presenting. We need a third tall option forwards. Need to persevere with TDK and how he works with Curnow and Mckay.
Some of the defensive efforts by a certain unnamed ‘young man’ were just calamitous. Really feeling the losses down back of Gov, Marchy, Saad and Doc
Oh Terry, my how it stings 😩
My view is this, we mustn’t catastrophise. We’re on the right track, we need to learn from this and move ahead. It was frustrating to watch and so deflating to be beaten by them AGAIN, but what are we going to do, jump off them because we were poor? Yes we can be angry, upset, emotional, we’re well within our rights, but we have to process the loss, get some lessons, brush ourselves off and go again. It’s a marathon not a sprint!
I hate that we lost but moving on. GBs
The allocation of tickets to our home game must be investigated. The Pies ability to outnumber at an away game for them makes no sense. The deal they have at that ground is not even. Where I was sitting was ALL Collingwood
my dad was saying the same thing but maybe it was where i was but i thought there was more carlton maybe collingwood were just more up and about?
It’s due to Collingwood having a deal with the MCG that no matter if its a home or away game at the MCG their members all sit at the city end of the MCG
People were forced to buy /upgrade tickets pre season for this one. Highly possible that many of our members wern't switched on to it, and then the allocation was made available to the Pies supporters who bought them up.
@@JimmyRaptis I was in the AFL area. And it felt like I was at a game at the Adelaide oval. Zero blues support. Zero.
After the Daicos goal, apart from our cheersquad area and the forward pockets, the entire ground was up. The deal the pies have needs to be revealed
@@Upthegutz I don't disagree. The way I see it any club with 80K members plus should have priority access to their home games at the G. The pies should not have any special deals going on as we and other members are being sold access to a home game they may be unachievable.
Outside of them just beating us with system - locking it in their attacking half by forcing us to kick long down the line, we gave them a lot of soft goals. Daicos kicks 2 goals running through stoppages unmarked, Maynard gets 2 shots on goal with 0 pressure (kicks 1), we allow Sidebottom and Pendelbury to be free in the 4th qtr?!? Steele Sidebottom… and Scott Pendelbury… have we not been watching footy for the last 15 years? Big games have small margins, and they beat us on system and yet we still could’ve won it. When we won the semi final we forget that Melbourne really had the game sewn up… until they didn’t, because we gave ourselves a chance and took it. Have to execute better when our system isn’t on - and grit out those big game wins. We are still a good team. Let’s not leave the games before the final siren, we aren’t that plastic are we?
It hurts. It should and must hurt. The players need to soak it up and remember it just like Weiters saving that footage from a couple of years ago to drive his performance. We played into their hands by taking on tacklers and trying to find dinky handball targets in congestion. That partly explains their tackle count, even though their pressure was sustained and superior over 4 quarters. In contrast they hesitated to take the central kick too many times. The patchy pressure from our smalls and onballers hurts and we desperately need Fog and Motlop back ASAP. Hopefully Cerra is better with a run under his belt and Govs return is imminent.
The frustrating part is reflecting on the game and seeing Collingwood clearly applying more desire in the game.
19 points up you take control and tempo. We kept playing on at all costs which gave them opportunities they capitalised on. game wasnt over at half time but we put ourselves back into a losing position from a potentially commanding one.
still 5-3 but it almost feels like you are 3-5 when you lose to the pies, reality is we lost 4 points we bounce back big game against the Demons need to get this one or we risk going to sydney where we almost never win at 5-4.
Go blues
Love your review Terry.I went to the game and feel disappointed that Blues didn't come away with the win.To be fair Pies played better and deserved the win.Hopefully these are lessons learnt and we roll them in the finals.What goes around comes around
Fingers crossed mate!
That was a tough one to watch once the Pies got on a run and we went into our shells after being up by 19 points. As you noted, not sure how the team reverses that anxious energy on the field after the oppo gets back in it? We are so much better than that display with the weapons we have at our disposal. Def had my blood pressure through the roof. Still pissed.
Mate I'm a Collingwood supporter and I'm the same when we play you guys or Essendon...I know how you feel
our defenders had a tight huddle before the game too, to be fair
Blues just werent on, looked tired. Blues can match them, they beat a full Pies squad last year, they can do it again. Losing by a goal could have gone either way. Let the ferals have the win in round 8.
It seems like, looking at the comments we got done by ten goals. We lost by a goal FFS! We played badly against Adelaide, Geelong and Collingwood and could have won them all. We’ve had so many injuries and setbacks and yet no one has put us away. Come on everyone. There are errors and tactical mistakes, but get some perspective Baggers! Collingwood won the premiership last year. Why would we think that a team with so many injuries would have problems, so early in the season. There were a few lapses of concentration which was the difference between the two sides. We have to work to get the balance right. We’re not far off!
Why did we have to lose against Collingwood I am devastated for the lost for the blues, I hate to lose them
Not enough is made on the lead up - pies nearly 9 days between games and us 6 - that gives 1 team more time to plan while we are trying to recover-
6 days is plenty of time to be prepared for mine. 5 days is where it gets tough.
We've had a string of 3 seven day breaks between games prior to Collingwood.
I know we have a hard fixture but can we not let losing because a trend because it really puts us in strife
We all have collective trauma as supporters when it comes to the Pies. We all need to start having more belief and really get behind the boys. Go Blues 💙
Unfortunately we played worse than last week despite only losing by 6 pts
- Negated in clearances.
- beaten in tackles, inside 50s
Even the clearances that we won didn't have the impact unlike the previous games.
When the pressure got intense we went into our shells.
But at least we were more efficient inside 50.
Again you don't win games with 38 inside 50s.
3 Harry 2 Weitering 1 Walsh.
It was also lost on the selection table as well. Kennedy Sub. Kemp out Young In. But I don't blame those individuals for the losing the game.
But I did enjoy listening to Blues Radio at the game which kind of slightly drowned out the Collingwood chant.😁
We goin okay
Don’t panic
We will be peaking at the business end
I just had a bad feeling about this game. Especially when scores were tied I just knew they would pinch it.
It was frustrating to see us give a good lead at qtr time. We seem to allow the opposite the belief that we are beatable even with a good lead. Historically they know if they can get into our heads they can take it from us. We just need to be better. Having said that I enjoyed the close game and was glad the boys didn't give up. What cost us was poor decision making and execution of some passages of play under pressure that cost us dearly. We just need to learn from this and plug up the holes in our defence on a consistent basis. I believe though that our gaps are fixable for this season and all is not lost. Go Blues.
Good read mate.
The boys looked a little tired last night.. just felt like they were flat footed and didn’t have their usual spark.. Collingwood played better than us.. sadly! we need to find other player avenues to kick our goals.. the Charlie/Harry combo is being exploited by the opposition - a little too predictable unfortunately. I also feel that we’re really working hard to get our goals whereas other teams are finding the goals a lot easier. Devastated but we need to work hard this week, hopefully we get some more of our more experienced players back next week for the Dees, we’ll get back on track we just have to have faith and hopefully the selectors make the right decisions over the next few weeks. GO BLUES 💙💙
As a Collingwood supporter and a woman I would never support bad behaviour from our own fans towards others especially as you said in relation to male violence against women. Great video anyway. Cheer up, Magpie fans felt this way last year after some bad losses. Were we the pretenders or the real deal? You have a great team and sometimes it's down to wanting it badly enough plus a bit of luck. Still don't want you to get a 16th premiership before us but good luck 😂
The guy who recruited our top players was sitting in the opposition coaching box. That hurts.
True
it’s simple we have this fear that we have of them it’s from top to bottom when they kicked 5 straight u already knew heads dropped we didn’t hear the crowds passion as we normally have collingwood didn’t shut up in the second quarter
Terry do you agree that Carlton also can be abusive too? Like you had Carlton men screaming "your a disgrace" "take off the jumper", in the tunnel, to your OWN players. fair enough or?
Did you selectively not listen to any of what I've said in my videos and live streams? I made this point super clear. Are you ignoring that or just trying to wind me up?
@@BlueAbroad I'm not winding you up. Your comments suggest that Pies fans do the line share of abusive acts. It's false and as for you winding you up, you boys deserve it. You talked the blues up and got beaten. Move on and be better. Your channel promotes a bloke who called us Scum, get used to hearing some strong feedback on this, Cheers
@@BlueAbroad Your channel had a bloke that described our club as SCUM. I have a right to call that out and wind you up with Collingwood support. You're a big boy Terry and i'm sure if you won you'd be talking. Next time, i'd hope you'd show us more respect and maybe you might beat us, in the meantime don't crack the sads.
@@jhproductions5090 so are you directing this comment to me or to someone else on the channel?
I always showed respect to Collingwood. The tape is there for you to see.
@@BlueAbroad Your brand endorses those podcasts don't you? you platform them? Scum is a strong word. Especially when the "Scum" beat ya.
Respect? not a word that Blue Abroad seems to have for the pies even through i believe pies fans respect the blues and love your content on socials.
Was our plan to give daicos space?
Disappointing that
As a pies supporter, the one feeling I get from these games is that the Carlton players just arnt invested in the rivalry. I also find that you struggle with leadership on the field just someone to settle the team down. But I wouldn't worry your team should finish top 4 but just need to acknowledge where the need to improve stop being so predictable in curnow and makay, and have your leaders lead on the field when it's needed.
Can't argue against that. I feel it too.
It's very disappointing.
Williams & Young costed us that game, more so Williams, but both were horrible. Both needs dropping. Williams isn’t in form & young isn’t good enough! Keep kemp until Marchbank gets up & running. Oh and Fantasia is a failed experiment. But I’m not too depleted as I know we have so many players still to return to our side.
It was fascinating. I felt the fear no doubt.
So bloody angry about how things went down last,we add Gov Saad Motts Martin and Fog to this side and I believe we’ll be a much better outfit,Cerra also isn’t the player he was last year,hopefully he gets better with more games under his belt,Fantasia must never play for this side again,if we can get over the Dees next week we’ll be back on track as we get more troops back,go blues
The 5 round dynasty of the Carlton Blues will be remembered 🤣🤣🤣
That was a warmup, but please, keep talking too soon.
We go down the members wing every time for the last 4 - 5 weeks. Every time so predictable.
Not as much dare this week
I love your stuff Terry but a disagree a little. I think our confidence is way down. We have lost our ability to move the ball fast through the corridor and take sides on. It feels like we have taken a backward step and gone back to kick down the line in hope. Same with our mids- they have gone back to front running unaccountable footy. The anguish on Vossy's face said it all. For mine, Id play Charlie as a high forward to get him in the game more- just when needed and I'd tell Harry, Charlie and TDK to run through any small forward that flys against you- take note Durdin.
Definitely didn't play with the same dare. Spoke about this during the fan cams and last night!
Everything happened so quick...was so disappointed how it turned out, we are way better than that as a team. Selection team i feel got it wrong...kenendy wouldve been much better than Fantasia. But other than that, its just pure hurt and disappointment. Its one of those games u just hope we get up for, we just passed 100k members, our home ground against the rivals like CMONNN. I still feel we're on the right track, can never doubt this team...its moments like these though that sting and soon we will get over it and move forward.
Absolutely mate
gotta aim to stay out of the bottom 4, that would be embarrassing to have rich, haw, wc and north above us. I can deal with the other teams because they have better players
Bottom 4 lol
I am so tired of losing to this mob man. 1-4 against Collingwood under Voss, 3 of those 4 by a kick or less.
I just don’t get it, every time you walk away going “they wanted it more than us”, but why? Why don’t we want it more than them?
Just don’t understand.
It’s rough, I’m flat, hopefully they can respond next week and lift the spirits a little bit.
That's the hardest part to overcome - they wanted it more.
They worked harder.
THAT is what should have been labelled unacceptable.
maybe we need to stop getting emotionally invested when playing them.
Maybe
Move on to next game
A very poor second quarter...soft as....
We go again!
Curnow and Cripps need to learn how to play footy and play harder. Cripps is overrated and needs to play forward to gain confidence. He performs poorly in big games. He also needs to play back to get more hard balls and run more. He is soft. His knowledge and smarts are absent. Pendlebury exposed his ordinariness and lax approach. Does he tackle, or is he just waiting to claim the easy low hanging fruit. Curnow doesn’t seem to change much, but there is time for him. He needs to perform in all big matches
I just can't imagine you looking either Cripps or Curnow in the eye and calling them soft. So why do it here?
Ya didn’t believe us when we said we put the cue in the rack the last time we met. Locked in top 4 at that point in time and players started to not care as much, we also had a 4 week heavy training block to prepare for finals, but nope yall thought u were better than us at the back end of last season🤣 hold that L nice and high 🫶🏻
Good on ya meathead, I have seen Carlton beat you skirts 3 times in Grand Finals and trust me we are on the periphery of another dynasty like the 70s and 80s.
Keep gobbing off mate. Your day will come, the colliewobbles tin is about to be opened again. For all your inside 50s and ascendency you won by one kick.
Mull over that Einstein.
Make sure you're still here after Round 20. Don't go missing.
@@BlueAbroad DA DA DA DADA
@@BlueAbroaddon’t go missing🤪 Hold that L nice and high for me🤣🤣🤣
@@t3apl3 LLLLLL
FUCK 😂
Painful, much.
Both teams over rated
Two huge blockbuster crowds and this club fails miserably, the start of new losing streak has emerged again and no chance in winning the next two matches, no fucking chance.
I don't think we were as far off as we have been in the past when the blockbuster clashes arrive, but bitterly disappointed nonetheless.
Cannot celebrate close losses as moving forward, next two weeks the blues will get flogged.
Will get flogged based on what?
@@BlueAbroad Being predictable, lack of confidence, lack of trust, no plan B, obviously missing players could be used as an excuse, and i believe are scared of high expectations.
