Our line-up:

B:   1 Amelia Velardo   49 Madeline Hendrie
HB:   21 Harriet Cordner   14 Siofra O'Connell   36 Ciara Fitzgerald
C:   17 Dayna Finn   4 Claudia Whitfort   19 Erone Fitzpatrick
HF:   7 Poppy Scholz   3 Darcy Vescio   55 Sophie McKay
F:   35 Nell Morris-Dalton   23 Lila Keck
R:   12 Jessica Good   10 Mimi Hill   5 Abbie McKay
Int:   6 Gabriella Pound   11 Yasmin Duursma   25 Keeley Sherar   24 Brooke Vickers   20 Lily Goss
Em:   22 Brooke Boileau   42 Tara Bohanna   30 Kiara Bischa

In:   Sophie McKay, Keeley Sherar
Out:   Tara Bohanna (Omitted), Brooke Boileau (Omitted)

[1] A big boost to have Sophie McKay and Keeley Sherar in.

[2] Boileau will miss against her former side, but she doesn't look far away. That Bohanna has been dropped says that our young key forwards appear to be doing something solid.

Bohanna missing is interesting.

I think she plays a more solid, predictable game. As the music men put in reference to Tony Lockett.....
"Lead, mark, kick a goal, kick a goal, kick a goal...."

All the others are more crafty types....Vescio, Sophie, NMD, Keck.....with Scholz a bit of that, but definitely more of the future.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Blues 20 points up late in the last quarter. Not a lot of time to go in a low scoring game.
Nell Morris-Dalton sinks her third!

Carlton: 7 - 8 - 50
Adelaide: 3 - 5 - 23

First time we've beaten Adelaide for quite a while.
We kept them scoreless in the last!

We've only played Adelaide once, (before today) since our last (and only) win against them.......in 2020.

Bit surprising, but ill take it.

Our girls look like the real deal.
Just gotta see if anyone can beat the juggernaut that is the Kangas.

Adelaide had the top 2 possession getters, but we had 8 of the top 11! A good spread of possessions all across the field.
Erone Fitzpatrick: 30 possessions, but 3 points.
Mimi Hill: 28 possessions
