AFLW Rd 5 2026 Carlton vs North Melbourne @ North

Huge game this weekend.
2 undefeated teams.
1 undefeated for 2.5 years now!

Unfortunately we won't be getting back either our x-factor players in Sophie and Darcy, both out with calf/ankle respectively for another 1-2 weeks.

Will be a good test for us.

The girls are hanging tough against formidable opposition. We even hit the lead for a brief period in the 2nd, but this will be an uphill battle IMO.

We had one real shot there. Girl took a mark 30m out right in front with 3 min to go and for some idiotic reason played on and got caught holding the ball. Could've put us within 4 pts with 3 min left.

It was a mistake made out of trying to be aggressive and positive and trying to win the game. I think Carlton can get better while I think North are at their peak, but it is a high peak. They set the standard. Once we got over our nerves in the first quarter I thought we more than match them. The umpiring was interesting at times and North always looked like they had another gear. But well done Carlton.
Jess Good was great.

While a loss is always unacceptable, the positive out of that game is that we were always in with a chance, unlike our recent losses to North.

I think that we can improve with Darcy and Sophie back in the team ... and the umpiring has to be better next time.
