AFLW R6 - Carlton Vs Geelong - Sun 12:40 @ Ikon

Need to bounce back and what better team to come up against than the struggling cats.

Back on home turf......could get ugly for the pussy cats.

I hope so. It wasn't pretty last night. We really need to get things together before our season fades away.
Live Long and Prosper!

This is our first game against one of the cellar-dwellers.  Still have games against GWS, Gold Coast and WCE to come.  Time to build some percentage and get back into the race for a finals spot.

Also time for Tayla Harris to have a decent game.  She does a lot of jumping and missing marks, and playing tough, but not much in the way of consistent and constructive CHF play.  Has been the big disappointment of the season IMO.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

The kid gets double teamed and her arms chopped almost every marking contest, yet does not get a free, it's bullcrap.

Twice we were penalised for arm chops at the weekend, one came just 10s after Harris had exactly the same thing happen to her at CHF. If this was AFL and Franklin the media would be all over the apparent disparity.

btw., One of those two frees was such bullcrap, if I'm a KPD and punching the footy when somebody jumps up into my armpit it's not me making high contact!

Harris needs a spell, about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike ATM, clearly hampered by the knee.

She could have that leg amputated in still be better than whoever else we could bring into the side.

She is still offering physicality and is delivering a bump, every week, that Byron Pickett would be proud of.

She is like a woman possessed when the ball hits the ground inside 50, usually, and the defenders know that they are mere seconds away from having a face full of turf if they don't dispose of it quickly. That (sometimes perceived) pressure is evident in defenders and has caused many a turnover from them looking over their shoulder....and thus goals.

I'm not saying she is anywhere near her best, or where she should be, but at least she is offering something.

Does a Carlton AFL membership entitle you to a ticket for these games??

Not any more.

I think that's 1 reason why our membership is doing so well this year.... you need to buy 2 memberships if you want access to aflw as well.

Game time.

We've got a lot of ground to make up to get back into finals, wins and % required. Hopefully this sees to both columns and gets us closer.

Gotta start well. We have the worst starts in the comp!

Vescio has single handedly kicked more in the last minute than we have kicked for the first 6 rounds of 1st quarters.
It is only 2 goals, but its a good start.

How was that not incorrect disposal?

Umpire swallows the whistle and a goal to the cats result.
