McGovern is still on the list at the moment. O'Farrell will be out for a lot of next year. There certainly is a role to be filled early next year at CHB. Or forward. There appears to be an opportunity, or two, for Lewis Young next year. Will he step up to it?
McGovern will be wanting much more than one year.......
Should be paying us....

Ladies Lounge / AFLW 2025 Rd 10: Carlton vs St. Kilda
Last post by crashlander -
We play St. Kilda at Carlton on Saturday night, at 19:15. We might be on TV.

Still without Mimi Hill and Tara Bohanna, both of whom we missed badly last week. However, we get Maddie Torpey back and Maddy Guerin.
We dropped Mia Austin, who must now be wondering about her future.

Our line-up:
D:   1 Amelia Velardo   49 Madeline Hendrie
HB:   36 Ciara Fitzgerald   21 Harriet Cordner   4 Keeley Skepper
C:   11 Yasmin Duursma   25 Keeley Sherar   17 Dayna Finn
HF:   20 Lily Goss  7 Poppy Scholz   19 Erone Fitzpatrick
F:   16 Breann Harrington   55 Sophie McKay
R:   12 Jessica Good   5 Abbie McKay   24 Brooke Vickers
Int:   6 Gabriella Pound   3 Darcy Vescio   23 Lila Keck   18 Madeleine Guerin   37 Maddison Torpey

Em:   33 Lou-Lou Field   31 Maria Cannon   22 Mia Austin

There are a few ex-Carlton girls playing for St. Kilda. I hope our girls can remind them that life is better wearing Navy Blue!

Id doubt it ,the club told him to look around same time they did Kennedy which is shorthand for we dont want or rate you, he has failed to cement a senior role and is only being considered as we have failed to address our KP inadequacies and are shorthanded in those roles through injury(OFarrell) and poor list management.

With Curnow, TDK, Silvagni and McGovern gone, Lewis Young will probably be our most important player next season. If he can hold down CHB it will go a long way to ensuring we have a better season next year. Had a pretty good year last season.

Harry, haynes and weiters should be able tp cover most options and allow us to baby step dean into the role.....assuming all are fit.

Young i think plays his best footy down back but for the benefit of the team and deans development i think we use him forward/ruck.... only because i don't like our other options....or we dont have any.

I’d be inclined to play Skull ahead of Young as KPF/ruck purely because Skull is a more naturally physical player and a more reliable kick for goal.

That said, Lewis had some moments last season where he gave a pretty good impression of a genuine KPF.

Then there’s the five man bench and how we use our rucks, particularly with Harry, Skull and Young able to compete in the ruck.  Reidy could be a wild card too, particularly as he’s a reliable kick for goal.

How long before the match sims start? 🙂

Well, what's happened? Curnow has left, and we don't really have a second KPD (readymade, Dean is at least a year and a half away most likely) yet. And still some questions remain with this guy next year.

Harry reckons he’s going to play in round 1 and most of those who follow the under 18s reckon he’s right.  Of course, he may play as third tall defender rather than KPD.

I would get Lewis Young to work with Matty Kreuzer over the off- and pre-season.  He’s a big lump of a lad and he needs to learn how to use his size and strength to seal his opponent, whether he’s playing KPD, KPF or ruck.

It may not be a popular view but I don’t mind Young.  His best footy is pretty good and, with a bit of work, he could produce that consistently.
