As a part of the massive changes going on in women's footy, the VFLW season starts this weekend. Carlton have a team in the VFLW for the first time.
At the moment, the Blues' playing list is something of an unknown, as I don't recognize any of the players as being AFLW players for us in the 2018 season. However, the idea is for that to change over time. :-*
This weekend the season starts as a curtain raiser for the VFL game, Northern Blues vs. Frankston at Frankston at 1115.
Our present list looks like this:
Kimberley Cunico Cranbourne FC
Bailey Hanks Northern Knights U18
Tyla Hanks Gippsland Power U18
Caroline Hardeman VU Spurs
Tess Plowman Oakleigh Chargers U18 Any relation to Mr. Plow?
Genevieve Green Beaconsfield FC
Kristi Harvey Adelaide University FC
Selena Karlson Seaford
Caitlin Williams South Adelaide
Nicola Burns Adelaide University FC
Courteney Bromage Yerong QLD
Rene Caris GWV U18
Rachel King West Adelaide
Olivia Vesely Sandringham Dragons U18
Chloe Dalton Rugby 7s
Brooke Walker Rugby 7s
Katelyn Cox Seaford
Jorja Borg Eastern Ranges U18
Akec Makur Chuot Swan Districts
Bella Gietzmann Whitehorse Colts/Oakleigh
Louella McCarthy South Adelaide
Eshe Lane
As to the fixture, there are a umber of games where the VFLW is a curtain raiser to VFL games.

So what you are telling me is that there is yet another competition that we are competing in and can potentially win another wooden spoon in?
Yay.
Wooden spoon progress...
AFLW - check
AFL - well on our way
VFL - Ditto
VFLW - ?
Can you smell what the Blues are cooking with all their wooden spoons????
Dead keen to see how the Rugby 7s girls go, they should have plenty of leg speed.
It reminds me of that rumor a many years ago, about us having a crack at Billy Slater!
What's not to like about a Carlton team in the VFLW?
Go girls!
Does anybody know what Jess Hosking is up to, she is not listed at Carlton and she seems to be absent from the VFLW lists?

VFLW is different to AFLW.
Ah, i get ya...

There's a few players who are AWOL.
Loynes and Harris to name a couple.
Looks like we do have a complete set of twins though. 2 Moodys, the 'new' one, Celine Moody, is 6cm taller than our current ruck Breann Moody.

Jess is
not on any VFLW list, is she injured?
Has Celine joined up since the lists were announced? She isn't on the list of VFLW players on the club website (the list Crash has posted earlier in this thread) nor on our AFLW list. BTW I am guessing the B Kennedy in the BP is Bridie, so she should be coloured green - if it isn't her that's another on neither list. Likewise Schultz the 23rd player, but that may well be the nature of the 23rd player in this league (I don't know but it would make sense).
In terms of girls who are AWOL a number of the players havent had a break for 2 years now - VFLW 2016, up the intensity to AFLW level training, AFLW 2017, VFLW 2017, AFLW 2018 pre-season and season - it's no wonder a number of players AFLW across the comp are either not playing VFLW this year or not the full season anyway - Daisy Pearce is an example.
To answer my own question, yes she has - it is on the club website. Interestingly clubs can rejig their lists up to 10 times across the course of the season. I suspect this is to allow for AFLW players to have part of the season off and come in and out as well as trial code-hoppers youngsters and the like. That would make sense.
So I believe the things I read: the reality is that this is about half the list. As Ian stated in his post, the list is quite variable and can undergo a number of changes. But I wish I knew that before I bothered with this list!
Which Mr Plow are we talking about?

Don't know, but you need to provide more info when you write such things.
Based on the list Crash wrote, none of our girls were on the VFLW list. So i checked the club website for AFLW and she was still there, so i didn't know why you singled her out.
If you had've provided the link i ended up showing, there would've been a lot less confused people, myself and crash included.
Is Harris, Loynes, Downie, Brazzale and a few others all injured too?
I was referring to Lachie Plowman, our under-performing defender.
Great to see the Blues have a win (haven't said that for a long time). Well done girls!
Indeed. I'd almost forgotten what it felt like! Wish I'd been there!

The 'Aints had no AFLW listed players. We had about a dozen.
Still, considering the AFLW performances, this is a good first step.
Last time I put up a list, it was useless inside 24 hours. Hopefully this one last a little longer, although, as mentioned earlier in this thread, there will be a number of possible list changes through the season.
