Robert Heatley Stand / VFL 2024 Rd 2: Carlton vs North Melbourne at Arden St
To be honest, our pre-season form hasn't been very good, but we've never had anything like our full complement of AFL or VFL players available. It will be interesting to see just who we select, and how intense we really are.
To be honest, I'd like to see more intensity from our VFL side. We haven't really shown a lot of that under Power. Power has been very good at the development side and dealing with our kids, but he hasn't set the world on fire as a coach. Granted that we'll have a few guys back, I'd like to see a harder edge to our game.

Ladies Lounge / VFLW 2024
Only 5 of the VFLW girls from last year are playing this weekend. That is a huge turnover.
Our team
B: Octavia Di Donato (51) Ciara Fitzgerald (36)
HB: Lulu Beatty (13) Layla Prince (58) Steph Demeo (66)
C: Keeley Skepper (4) Brooke Vickers (24) Hannah Bowey (64)
HF: Georgia Tait (57) Mia Austin (22) Meg Robertson (15)
F: Lila Keck (23) Sophie McCarthy (54)
FOLL: Jemma Stokes (65) Maddie Guerin (18) Keeley Sherar (25)
INT: Asha Turner-Funk (53) Natasha Phillips (74) Isla Baldwin (70) Izzy Khoury (52) Eliza Wood (50)
EMG: Isabella Parnell (59) Danika Di Santo (76) Amy Trindade (62)
Obviously our brain trusts want to get some game time into some of our younger AFLW girls, especially as a number of them have been cruelled by injuries and need time on the park. Some of them, like Skepper and Sherar are probably not going to see much VFLW action, as they are already AFLW mainstays.
Note with interest, Maddy Guerin, who is playing her first game back after another serious knee injury. Just before she was injured, she was stepping up to be a major midfielder with real pace and depth to her kicking. How she will play now, that is the obvious question.

Robert Heatley Stand / AFL Rd 3 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne
I hope North wear a guernsey that looks less like ours for a change. That was a shocker.

Robert Heatley Stand / VFL 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Richmond
I usually attend, but can't today: work.
Hopefully some of you can see the game and comment. All snippets from the game are welcome, as there is very little coming from the club about our VFL boys as yet.

Robert Heatley Stand / VFL 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Coburg
Carlton 4 - 9 - 33
Coburg 4 - 10 - 34
Goals to Moir, Corey Durdin, Lefory and Ferronato. No idea who the better players were yet, but it doesn't look like many senior players played.

It would be nice playing them here for a change, and it would be nice to have something like a full list to select from, but ...
Enjoy!
