Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2025 Rd 4: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs at Carlton
Actually went to the game. Darcy Vescio is a star. She reminds me of Jezza when he went to the half back flank. She is one player who can really kick the ball. Harrington is another star who actually understands the game. Almost kicked one of the best goals you are ever likely to see with a chip and charge. Sophie McKay's mark was a good mark in any competition.
They are still a work in progress but they are hard at it and the other teams seem to get hurt in the tackles. Looking at the ladder and the draw we really should be playing finals this year.

Flynn Riley may be someone they might bring in as a rookie to develop.  We obviously now need an additional ruckman. Lemmey is an interesting one. I am a big supporter of having big guys who can run, kick and jump. With a couple of first round compensation for free agency we will probably look at picking a forward ruckman type player. I am not sure there is a spot for Darcy Hogg no matter how much I would like there to be.

Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2025 Rd 2: Carlton vs Hawthorn at Frankston
Good to see the Coach of the winning team complaining about the umpiring interpretation of holding the ball, especially as they probably got the rub of the green with it.  Hawthorn is a good side and once we stabilised after the start we probably had the best of it. I thought we beat them up physically and a lot of their players looked very sore by the end. A couple of silly errors cost us in the end.
I think Channel 7's camera work was pathetic. I want to watch the footy not the crowd. I found important parts of the match was missed and I lost the flow of the game at times.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 19 2025 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne
They are not a very good side Melbourne and they didn't have many young guys contributing much whereas a whole heap of our young guys did well. Cowan, Moir and Carroll were all very good and Evans was having his best game until he was knocked out by May. E.Hollands, Motlop, F.Young, White and Lord kept running all night and O'Farrell was pretty solid down back.
The two best things about the performance was the fact we didn't turn it up when Melbourne got in front in that third quarter and that we kept on going forward rather than retreat into our shells.
Young guys having a go and not giving up, who would have thought. Will Voss and the coaches learn from this or will they go back to using the safe option and continue to use the senior players who keep letting us down. That is the question.
