Ladies Lounge / AFLW signing - Katie Harrison
https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2019-08-23/blues-sign-aflw-rookie
Quote
THE CARLTON Football Club is delighted to announce Katie Harrison has signed on as a rookie for the 2020 AFLW season.

Harrison, a development player in the 2017 Australian Rugby Sevens side, follows in the footsteps of fellow converts Chloe Dalton and Brooke Walker who joined the Blues last season and played in the Club’s maiden AFLW Grand Final.

The 26-year-old will make the move from Manly to Melbourne in time for the start of pre-season training.

Harrison is a naturally gifted athlete with elite speed and endurance, which will complement the current playing list at Carlton.

With the success of Dalton and Walker, i think its a smart move to bring in another rugby 7's player.

They are built for the AFLW game with great speed and endurance and an ability (and want) to lay a tackle.

Ladies Lounge / 3 blues make the AA team! + other awards
https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2019-03-22/four-blues-in-allaustralian-squad
Quote
Brianna Davey, Kerryn Harrington, Gab Pound and Madison Prespakis were all named by the AFL last night as being in the squad of 40.

The team of 21 players, including a captain and vice-captain, will be announced at the W awards on Tuesday 2 April.

Well done to the girls.

I'm especially pleased that Gab Pound made the squad as i think her contributions are largely overlooked. She has been solid since game 1, season 1. Her game has gone up a notch this year, but still goes unrecognised most weeks. Not sure she'll make the team, but good luck to her and all the girls.

Ladies Lounge / AFLW 2019 Rd 7: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs
Sunday 4:10pm.
A win = 1st place.
A loss = 2nd place (or better)
An absolute thumping MIGHT mean 3rd place at worst.

Not sure how many people will be at the venue, or watching on tv as i think its the same exact start time of the F1 opener around the corner at Albert Park. Not sure that was thought through.

In any event, lets keep up our momentum and get a win over the dogs

Don't think we can play both Audley and Lucas-Rodd in the same team anymore, so one of them in at most.

Ladies Lounge / 2019 - AFLW Votes - Winner - Bri Davey!
So the voting method for the gals is a simple one.
Good old fashioned 3,2,1.

Votes are then tallied up and averaged out, to get a round 3, 2, 1.

So, go at it. Who are your best 3 players?

Ladies Lounge / First ever father/daughter selection - Abbie McKay
https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/womens-afl/abbie-mckay-daughter-of-andrew-mckay-becomes-the-first-ever-aflw-fatherdaughter-pick/news-story/809e826714aa090fc3b3fb7dc2209966

CARLTON has made history, drafting Abbie McKay as the first ever AFLW father-daughter pick.
McKay, the daughter of club great Andrew McKay, will join the Blues for the upcoming AFLW season.

Clubs had an opportunity to bid on the younger McKay before 2pm Friday.

As multiple clubs placed a bid on McKay, Carlton elected to match the offers and will now select the teenager with Pick 16, a second-round pick, in this year’s AFLW draft.

Good news.

Robert Heatley Stand / Best team.....and next best
OK, so i got bored waiting for stuff to happen, so i did this exercise most have done plenty of times before.

Pick your best team.

....and pick your next best team....your 2nds.

Now we still have a few spots on our list, so i limited it to 18 each, which also allows you to fill your bench with the best of the second lot.
FWIW, I didn't include any rookies (well, not good enough anyway) and i didn't include Byrne because....well he's barely a Carlton player at this point in time.

I think everyone else fits in there nicely....even with the 2 new additions McGovern and Fasolo.

Yes, Walsh and Setterfield are likely too, but we'll wait for that to through first ;)

Ladies Lounge / AFLW: Dees receive compensation for Pearce
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-09-12/aflw-dees-receive-compensation-for-pearce
Quote
AFLW rules allow for list changes and possible compensation past the point of final list lodgements following the trade and re-signing period.

Quote
And the AFL confirmed Melbourne has added a player on its list to replace skipper Daisy Pearce, who is pregnant and won't play next season.
Quote
....while Carlton will be allocated pick 42. [For Sophie Li]
Seems the AFL are happy to dish out compensation picks left, right and center for AFLW players/teams.

Hopefully they are still in the giving mood with us.

Ladies Lounge / VFLW League B+F results - Vescio 5th. - VFLW Team of the year
Jess Duffin has taken out the VFLW 'brownlow'/league B+F

Top 5...
Jess Duffin (Williamstown) 23
Lauren Pearce (Darebin) 17
Angela Foley (NT Thunder) 16
Emma Mackie (Hawthorn) 15
Darcy Vescio (Carlton) 15

Now, i knew Vescio missed a lot of games because she went on holidays for a month or so in the middle of the season.

So i checked how many games each of them played, and worked out votes/game.


Also she made the team of the year...

The 'new' top 5 would be....
1. Jess Duffin - 1.76 votes/game
2. Darcy Vescio - 1.67
3. Lauren Pearce - 1.54
4. Emma Mackie - 1.25
5. Angela Foley - 1.23

As it turns out Duffin played 13 games, Vescio just 9.

Congrats to our girl Vescio who won the goalkicking and finished top 5 as well. (Top 2 by average)

Look for a big year from her in AFLW!

She was also the only current player to make VFLW - 2 ex-carlton players made it though...
B: Van Dyke (Hawthorn), Goring (Geelong), Gillespie-Jones (Melbourne Uni)
HB: Riddell (Melbourne Uni), McDonald (Darebin), Jakobsson (Casey)
C: Brown (Southern Saints), Duffin (Williamstown, captain), Beeson (Hawthorn)
HF: D'Arcy (Collingwood), Garner (Williamstown), Sedunary (NT Thunder)
F: Bullas (Essendon), Vescio (Carlton), Clifford (Geelong)
Foll: Watt (Southern Saints), Cranston (Geelong), Foley (NT Thunder)
Int: Swanson (NT Thunder), Alexander (Collingwood), Edmonds (Richmond), Birch (Western Bulldogs), Pearce (Darebin), Mackie (Hawthorn)
