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.

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.

Let me get this right, one bloke with a history of on field violence gets three weeks for deliberately smashing a guy in the face and a skinny kid gets four weeks for pushing off from an opponent.

My eldest son was a fairly handy tennis player in his teens but rarely put in any effort which use to frustrate me no end. In the end he agreed to pretend to try. I am not sure Carlton actually tried last night or were just pretending to try. In the end I thought there effort was a genuine E.
No one wants to kick a goal. No one wants to take responsibility.  If we kicked the goals we miss then we would be closer and therefore we would have to take responsibility for the game. As it is, we miss straight forward shots on goal, the opposition goes down and kick a goal and the game is taken away from us and our players just acquiesce to the situation.
The Pittonett goal should have been something to inspire the team but it didn't. It seems to be something they can laugh about at training next week. It also demonstrated that our leaders are really just people who front the band as no one wants to follow. The problem for Pittonett is that we now know he can do it and so he now needs to do it regularly and then he needs to be able to do it all the time.
As for the Cowan incident,  this demonstrates what a rubbish Club we have become because these sorts of things happen to rubbish Clubs.
