VFLW 2026

May 23, 2026, 03:11:44 pm

The VFLW started last week to minimal fanfare.
The lost looks pretty different from what I remember of last year's.

Last week we won against Darebin:
Carlton: 7 - 8 - 50
Darebin: 5 - 3 - 33

This we we lost to North Melbourne/Werribee
Carlton: 6 - 4 - 40
North: 11 - 6 -72
We led at Half time, but ran out of juice.

A good win for the girls this week against Sandringham:

Carlton: 5 - 6 - 36
Sandringham: 3 - 6 - 24

The girls kicked the last 4 goals to run over their opponents.
The girls had 90 more possessions, to dominate the game in a lot of ways, yet had 1 less inside 50. We also dominated taps and clearances, but the one that stood out was the marks: 82 to 35. That stuck out to me. We also had 71 tackles to 58, yet spent most of the time behind.

We had 7 of the top 8 possessions getters, led by:
Hannah Scott: 35 possessions, 5 clearances, 10 tackles and 5 marks. This was a Cripps-like performance.
Mia Fuller: 24 possessions, 7 clearances and 12 tackles.

The girls were slaughtered by Essendon: their 1st win of the season.

Carlton: 4 - 7 - 31
Drug Cheats: 10 - 3 - 63

Note again our inability to kick straight. It is a curse across 3 levels at the moment. The 2's lost, even though they had a lot more scores shots.

Teams weren't even available the morning of the game, which was disappointing.

My God, I didn't see this one coming:

Carlton: 6 - 2 - 38 7 - 7 - 49 10 - 9 - 69 14 - 12 - 96
Casey: 0 - 1 - 1 0 - 1 - 1 1 - 1 - 7 2 - 1 - 13

An 83 point win!
The girls were incredible.

GOALS (Carlton): McCarthy (4), Larkins (2), Elkington (2), Turner Funk (2), Plunkett, Morris-Dalton, Bowey

It wasn't a pretty game by any means, but the girls handled the ball better and got the rewards.

Why are the girls wearing the white clash guernseys (and navy shorts)? There's plenty of contrast between navy blue and black and white prison bars

Girls do not wear white shorts.
It was a request of theirs for 'female' reasons which makes a lot of sense.

Carlton: 3 - 8 - 26

Indeed.

Bad kicking is bad football.

The girls play Box Hill this week, at home on Saturday at 10:05.
The girls are 6th at the moment, while Box Hill are 10th, but we're a very up and down team. last week we should have beaten the league leaders, while we have been pounded by ordinary teams.
No line-up as yet (what a surprise! I haven't had a line=up before match day yet).

The girls had another significant win this week: our percentage must be pretty good.

Carlton: 1 - 2 - 8 5 - 5 - 35 8 - 8 - 56 10 - 11 - 71
Box Hill: 1 - 5 - 11 2 - 6 - 18 3 - 9 - 27 4 - 11 - 35

A 6 goal win.
We had a few AFLW girls in today, although so did Box Hill. Lila Keck had 27 possessions, 7 tackles and 5 clearances.
