Next Saturday night at 19:05 at Frankston.
We haven't done well against Hawthorn yet, so I'd like to see us provide a contest.
It's on TV for those not going.
We're on TV!
Our line-up:
B: 3 Darcy Vescio 36 Ciara Fitzgerald
HB: 49 Madeline Hendrie 7 Poppy Scholz 21 Harriet Cordner
C: 11 Yasmin Duursma 25 Keeley Sherar 17 Dayna Finn
HF: 19 Erone Fitzpatrick 22 Mia Austin 20 Lily Goss
F: 42 Tara Bohanna 18 Madeleine Guerin
R: 12 Jessica Good 10 Mimi Hill 5 Abbie McKay
Int: 1 Amelia Velardo 4 Keeley Skepper 55 Sophie McKay 23 Lila Keck 16 Breann Harrington
Em: 15 Meg Robertson 33 Lou-Lou Field 13 Aisling Reidy
The only change is Velardo in, Robertson out.
I wouldn't mind seeing Aisling Reidy have a go.
We have a poor record against this lot, so I'd really like to see us give them a black eye!
We lost by 8 points. :( Still, it is our best effort against this mob for a while and shows we are competitive.
Carlton: 2 - 12 - 24
Hawthorn: 3 - 12 - 30
A huge turnaround from 12 months ago.
Last year we were monstered and looked a class below.
This year we certainly matched it with them and had it not been for poor kicking, could've dominated.
Yes, they had poor kicking too, but we held them goal less for about an hour!
Irish girls doing well, unlike the mens comp.
What I saw was a really well drilled hawks team who withstood a heap of pressure.
They seemed more in control much like we were more in control over collingwood the week before.
Last year we saw occasional glimpses of cohesion, this year we are seeing cohesion regularly, there’s excitement to be had with this team.
An ounce of luck and we could have snatched a win.
A much improved effort but we've still got a way to go ...
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.
