Yes, I was thinking the same.

Our AFLW team was very good last season also, only one more team to fix to make us contenders at every level.

Breann Harrington has been moved to Carlton's inactive list, with Kiara Bischa joining as a replacement player

INAUGURAL Carlton ruck Breann Harrington will miss her first season of AFLW, sitting out 2026 due to pregnancy with her husband, Brad.

The Blues have announced former Gold Coast defender Kiara Bischa will take the squad position made vacant by Harrington (née Moody).

Its funny, this mirrors a lot of peoples thoughts in regards to our coach.

This guy is 'no good', so anyone else MUST be better.
Be careful what you with for.

It would bloody hard to get the state worse then it is now so well worth the risk to give another oarty a go.  If you dont replace the current party as your concerned you may get worse well using that mentality you wont be getting out your bed in the motning for fear of what may happen if you leave the house.

spin this ine anyway you want they need to go.

same as our coach!!

I don't think anyone can predict our number of wins from here.
A lot depends on how we approach the games.
Do we want to go all out to try and win as many as possible, which in some respects would be counterproductive.
or
Do we want to spend the rest of the year evaluating the list, trying players in different positions and getting games into youngsters.
It may be a combination of both.

In 40 minutes, we scored 1 goal, opposition scored 3.3. Thankfully not kicking straight.

That was 1/3rd of the total game time.
Why were we so poor? What was our pressure rating then?

Can't blame Voss for that one.

Or doesn't it count this week??

If we played Sydney or Brisbane instead of an injury riddled out of form doggies, it would've been a lot worse.
Dogs last 5 games have included....
2x  10 goal losses
1x 12 point loss to freo (was 14 points for us)
1x2 point win against Port.
and a loss to us.

But it has nothing to do with their 'lack of' form, its all got to do with our interim coach.

Give it away. I see through your spin.  Spin...spin...spin!!! You use that alot.

We played 4 qtrs for the first time in ages and kept up the pressure, eventually finishing on. Knowing when to play tempo footy as seen with 124 marks, rather than play on and boot it to a contest meant we didn't die on out butt and had plenty left. Better than winning well then collapsing on a weekly basis. Clutching at 3 goals in a row to say otherwise...hahaha. That happens every week to a number of sides. We were never more than 11pts behind. We do 5+ goals on a weekly basis. We took on a decent side and beat them, remembering we were 3rd last because of your favourite coach. You mightn't like the answer but bad luck. Try your spin on others.

A bit naive believing the other mob are going to be better....none of them deserve to be voted in.

Obviously we would have beat the Lions had Voss not coached that game.

Might have worked a bit harder in that first half rather than pressure rating of 140 to 150.

I thought the second half against Brisbane was basically similar to last night, just that last night we went at it a bit longer and didn't allow the Dogs to get the same run on. But a lot of it is Cripps, he has the most dominant game I've seen from him in two years, and was continually driving us forward even when we were wasting the footy.

Other than sticking with the plan better and longer, it was basically the same game tactics we've been trying to implement all season. I do find it odd that many only notice it now, after a win, they must be blinded by hatred at other times! To me it's been obvious we have been trying to implement a Lions style of play, I've been writing as much since about Rnd 3 or 4, just that we have been NBG at it!

I thought the young Dogs were not allowed the same degree of freedom, or were incapable of making the same space, that the Lions could.

If we were truly much better we should have won by 5 or 6 goals, I'm still a little disheartened by our tendency to limp to the end.

Not dropping off at any time during the 4 qtrs, not falling 8 goals behind like last week, not getting bowled over in the last half like other weeks. Just 4 qtrs. Might not have been a pretty 4 qtrs, as low scorers are, until the last qtr but we were able to keep going the whole game. Controlling tempo with uncontested marks at times, as 124 marks shows, left us with plenty of run when it mattered. We were smarter in that regard.

Lord: was he taken off to be held over? 9 possessions and wasn't seen during the last quarter. (I only saw maybe 20 minutes).
I presume Flynn Young is also held over.

Talor Byrne: not getting huge numbers, but 3 goals and making an impact.

But can't hid the side of the barn.

Can't carry someone that is that poor by foot.

May just need someone to come with the right skills to correct what Ben is doing wrong with his kicking.  Fev or Mark Williams perhaps.

Footscray forwards aren't giants but Derksen and Young have controlled the skies.
Ben Camporeale has done some really good work at the contests
