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!
1st goal to Poppy Scholz. Sei danket Gott!
Darcy has 5 possessions so far. Definitely better than last week.
Missing targets and fumbling too much.
We might be better served by slowing down a little and picking better targets.
Not playing smart or using it well. Not kicking to our advantage at all. Can't believe we handballed straight to that St.Kilda girl in the goalsquare.
Anyway, we got a goal and just 2pts behind.
How many times can one side intercept.
Seriously! Our girls are as girls are as dumb as dog poo.
Should have got a goal but dropped a simple mark then they go up and get one from a dumb error from our defender. They've kicked 3 goals, 2 from charity donations from our defenders.
Some terrible terrible errors
The defence has got out of jail reasonably well, apart from the dropped marks and handballs to the aints they’ve stood up.
Lot of work to be done now.
Just like that we are back in it 👍🏼
25 v 30
Big strong mark by Harrington… missed all
Still 5 pts down.
Free kick count is a bit uneven 🙄
A 3rd St.Kilda goal charity from another of our utterly dumb errors. We have literally gifted them goals.
That's a dreadful free kick. How was she supposed to get rid of it.
I hate losing to the Rabble of Linton Street. :( But, we seem to have lost the plot lately.
We are missing Bohanna and Hill, no doubt, but it is the little things that have made a difference. The decision making, the fumbling, the poor disposal.
We may miss the finals unless we can clean up our act.
We did all the hard work but couldn’t capitalise. St Kilda made the most of their chances … and dubious frees.
Persevering with a hobbling Abby McKay didn’t help.
If only we could have cloned Darcy Vescio 🤔
Frustrating game to watch as we had the ball so much but couldn’t capitalise. Unfortunately the umpires saw every 50/50 and gave it their way. They also take way too long to blow the bloody whistle when it’s being wrestled over.
Some Disappointing costly errors and only a few shining lights this week.
We have rucklotto in the AFL and ballotto in the AFLW. Some players are given an age to dispose of the pill, others are pinged immediately.
I felt that the ball bobbled around at a similar level to our early season but this week we didn’t get a clean hand on it.
Vescio played their best game for the past 2-3 years. Where has that been?
Unfortunatlely, no Hill, no Carlton.
We basically handed them 2-3 goals (and thus the game) by silly disposals in front of goal.
Our worst game for the year, but saints were on a roll and that makes it 6 in a row. Coming up against Kangas next week which are on...what 23 in a row?
We are slipping down the ladder when we should've been entrenched in the top 4.
Ultimately, i think we are still playing better than predicted. However, everyones expectations changed with a hot start.
Hopefully Hill back is all we need.
We've been forced into too many changes in recent weeks, it shows, the team balance is lost.
