AFLW 2025 Rd 5: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Carlton

September 12, 2025, 04:42:50 pm

At 14:35 at Ikon on Saturday 13th September.
We will go in as favourites; GC has struggled somewhat.
However, we do have a couple of significant injuries.

Our Line-up:
B:   3 Darcy Vescio   36 Ciara Fitzgerald
HB:   49 Madeline Hendrie   7 Poppy Scholz   21 Harriet Cordner
C:   13 Aisling Reidy 25 Keeley Sherar   17 Dayna Finn
HF:   19 Erone Fitzpatrick   55 Sophie McKay   18 Madeleine Guerin
F:   42 Tara Bohanna   16 Breann Harrington
R:   37 Maddison Torpey   10 Mimi Hill   20 Lily Goss
Int:   1 Amelia Velardo   4 Keeley Skepper   14 Siofra O'Connell   23 Lila Keck   24 Brooke Vickers
Em:   22 Mia Austin   33 Lou-Lou Field   15 Meg Robertson

Abbie McKay is a huge out, as is Jess Good, who missed last week. Yasmin Duursma is also missing, and also would be challenging for a spot in our best line-up with her reasonable form this year. the last one missing is Gab Pound, who is still maybe a month away from playing her first game of the season.
With the limited lists at AFLW level, we don't have many warm bodies left!
Note: Brooke Vickers will be playing her first game in almost 2 years (670 days according to the Carlton website). And our 3rd Irish lass, Aisling Reidy, is debuting this round. Congratulations on their persistence!

Half time:
Carlton: 3 - 7 - 25
Gold Coast: 4 - 0 - 24

If we could kick, this one would be over. As it is, we are clearly missing Abbie McKay and Jess Good. Our rucks have been OK, but not dominant.
Sophie McKay: 2 goals 2.

Cordner had 8 intercepts in the first half!

Gold Coast mids getting a lot of ball.

Mimi Hill!
A big term by Hill!

3/4 time:
Carlton: 7 - 11 - 53
Gold Coast: 4 - 0 - 24

GC didn't score that quarter. Mimi Hill and Dayna Hill had big terms. GC have 3 of the 4 top ball getters, but they don't have the support.
Harrington much quieter today, but rucking reasonably.
It would be nice to see the game ...

Lila Keck! Kicks her 2nd.

GC get their 1st score after half time: 1 point.
They still have the top 3 posession getters, but our possessions are getting distance and results.

Sophie McKay: Kicks her 3rd as the most effective forward on the ground.

All over. GC have struggled to run out games and struggled to do so again. We humbled them after half time, as we finally kicked straight.

Carlton: 10 - 11 - 71
Gold Coast: 4 - 1 - 25

Lilly Goss: 26 possessions and probably her best game. 7 clearances!
Dayna Finn: 26 possessions and a relatively quiet last quarter. But he had huge affect on the game.
Mimi Hill: 24 possessions. 6 clearances.
Erone Fitzpatrick: 23 disposals.

Another great game by the girls and I think the scoreboard flattered Gold Coast.

In 2023 we finished the season in 12th spot with four wins and six losses. Last season we finished 14th with four wins and seven losses. We're currently fourth with four wins and one loss.
