Re: AFLW Round 3: Carlton vs Brisbane at Ikon

The greatest difference between the two teams was our very poor kicking. We were extremely poor at hitting a target, chose the wrong option, lacked penetration, panicked kicked -not selecting a team-mate but simply blasting away. Time and again our kickers thought that they could kick further than they actually could and the ball was easily cut off by Brisbane. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
Yes, that's what I saw.
Looking for a shorter option would have enabled us to keep possession and move the ball to where we could kick to our forwards' advantage.
With few exceptions, and particularly on the run, the women struggle to kick accurately over more than 30 metres (a bit like my kicking) and the game style should reflect that with an emphasis on short kicks to players in the clear.
