CARLTON 3.1 3.1 4.4 5.6 (36)
HAWTHORN 0.0 1.1 3.2 3.6 (24)

GOALS
Carlton: Fitzpatrick 2, S.McKay, Finn, Sherar
Hawthorn: Stockwell 2, Ashmore

BEST
Carlton: A.McKay, Fitzpatrick, Whitfort, Sherar, Hill, Scholz
Hawthorn: West, Wales, Richardson, Stockwell, Stone, Fleming

Fairly impressive that we kick 3 goals into the tide in the first quarter.
Second quarter wasn't quite as impressive. Keeping them to 4 points in the last was pretty good.

Jess Good did most of the ruck tonight, which was interesting, but she did it pretty well. Bella's ruck work ... it shows how important a ruck can be.

The conditions didn’t help but it was still an entertaining game. I think that we found it hard to adapt our style of play to the conditions and that created opportunities for Hawthorn … and they seemed to get more than their fair share of luck.

Both defences were on top but ours had to work a lot harder … in part because we struggled to get the pill past the centre.

A good win in the end with lots of even contributions. I thought that Erone, Abbie and Keeley were our best and with Harriet marshalling the defence. And, speaking of defence, Bucky must be thankful that he’s got Poppy to throw behind the ball.

Very good effort - Erone is an incredible player and Abbey McKay is just so smart, she shows footy smarts every game.

Thankfully we don't play until the last game next week, @ Sydney which will be a big test.

We'll need the rest.

The ball has lived in our F50 for the last 10 minutes. Unfortunately only 1 goal.

The ball rolls and bounces like it’s filled with lead.

Im not aware of the players names but number 4 for us seems to be cleanest given the conditions. Fitzpatrick BOG easily, and sherrar (?) Another whos been big in the contests.

Claudia Whitfort.....'new' recruit from Gold Coast.....4th club now.

Couple players standing out in the terrible conditions.

Mimi Hill doesn't realise its wet. One touch most of the time.
Ronny Fitspatrick will just about win our best and fairest....has a couple goals and has a top speed that makes other look like they are standing still.......fair tank too
Sherar doesn't have a whole lot of weight to throw around, but seems to love the conditions and always looking for contact.

5 minutes to go 15 points up. Looking beyond the hawks to kick 3 goals in 5 minutes, given they've taken almost 90 minutes to kick their first 3.
