Bluebaggers Edge

HUGE thank you to all of my fellow Bluebaggers for your incredible support as we tick over 1,000 subs on YouTube - it’s a true testament to our shared passion and love for the Navy Blue! I hope you enjoy the content as much as I do creating it! 🙏🏻 Go Baggers! 💙💪🏻

Right out of the @CarltonReserves, Flynn Riley's Navy Blue journey continues 😍 DETAILS: carltonfc.com.au/news/2033923

@Topgunmav63 If you can’t read tactical setups and follow clear game style trends on gameday no one can help you on the topic.

@BluebaggersEdge Okay, I didn't know that you went to all the training sessions and heard Voss and his assistant telling all the players to do that. 🤔

Under Voss, Cripps would’ve been instructed to bomb it long I50 to a packed FWD line. Instead, Crippa kicks laterally across the arc to the fat side, hits up a teammate who then hits Gov lace out with a shot on goal straight in front. Refreshing ball movement. 👏🏻 #AFLPowerBlues

@Topgunmav63 ALL of our players were aimlessly bombing it long I50 under Voss. Week after week, a clear pattern. So it’s a coincidence that has all but disappeared since Fraser took over? Coincidence we now have FWDs leading and players are lowering their eyes and kicking to them? 🙂‍↔️

@BluebaggersEdge Im pretty sure Vossy wasn't instructing Cripps to bomb it!! Your clutching at straws mate!

@mcbethdean1 Zilch. You’ve hit the nail on the head.

@BluebaggersEdge Heard anything from the dilettantes at AFL yet? It’s a Carlton player involved, odds on nothing comes of this.

This is shithouse. Dean lucky not to be badly injured here. In 2025, Mansell copped 3 weeks for pushing Liam O’Connell into another player, causing him to be concussed. AFL has to look at this. Surely warrants a suspension based on action not on outcome.

The floor and mic is yours fellow Baggers. ✅ Jump on LIVE and let us know your raw reactions and thoughts on tonight's game. #AFLPowerBlues JOIN: youtube.com/live/_hXYs5R60…

@mcbethdean1 Very true, mate. Just sucks that we’ve found our new answer to the wing spot and he goes down. And we were doing quite well on the injury front as well. 😢

@BluebaggersEdge Ah …. if there’s a positive that’s it I guess. Apart from Charlie Curnow, recovering from knee surgery has come a long way since the 80’s! Jagger Smith should serve as encouragement for Carroll over the course of his rehab.

This just fucking sucks. Career-best season and one of our bright sparks of the youngsters and he does his ACL. The AFL Gods are simply cruel. 😔 All the best in your recovery, Caz, you’ve got that wing spot sewn up upon return. 🙏🏻

@mcbethdean1 Only his first, thankfully. Had a bad run with a groin injury before he was delisted and then re-listed. Just really shit luck for the young lad. ☹️

@BluebaggersEdge Is that his second ACL?

@BluebaggersEdge Watching your work now 😉

ASHTON MOIR, YOU ARE KIDDING ME!

Back-to-back Bagger wins 💙 #AFLPowerBlues

@The_Wolf71 That’s the beautiful thing; we not only have targets I50, we have LEADING targets. None of this bombing aimlessly I50, and lowering the eyes and hitting up targets.

@BluebaggersEdge Listening to the ABC Radio coverage (no Foxtel) and it sounds like there is increased urgency to push the ball forwards and that there are actual targets inside the 50.

What is happeninggg?! We are smashing clearances, moving the ball amazingly, slicing through Port like a hot knife through butter AND hitting up leading targets I50! Is this a fever dream?! 🥴 #AFLPowerBlues

I reckon we’ve kicked into and across the corridor into space on the far side more times in our past two games under Fraser than we have with Voss in our past two seasons. The media pundits still think Voss wasn’t the primary issue? Some analysis they did… 🤔 #AFLPowerBlues

Hope his grabbing of the back of the knee instead indicates a PCL, compared to the front of the knee most grab at instinctively when an ACL is done (see Elliott as example today). But that’s just pure hope! 🙏🏻

Matthew Carroll (knee) will take no further part in tonight's game. #AFLPowerBlues #AFLDeadly

That quick ball movement and transition out of defence with quick handballs and running laterally was incredible. 👏🏻 #AFLPowerBlues

We have scored 3 goals via turnover and conceded just the 1 via turnover in Q1. Totally flipped the script in an area we struggle on both sides of this statistical category. #AFLPowerBlues
