AFLW 2026 Rd 7 Carlton vs Richmond at home

September 24, 2026, 07:21:44 pm

Part of a double header, our game is scheduled to start at 16:00 at Ikon Park. Richmond are 9th, we're 6th after our last 2 losses.

Our line-up:
B:   21 Harriet Cordner   49 Madeline Hendrie
HB:   36 Ciara Fitzgerald   14 Siofra O'Connell   1 Amelia Velardo
C:   11 Yasmin Duursma   4 Claudia Whitfort   17 Dayna Finn
HF:   10 Mimi Hill   7 Poppy Scholz   25 Keeley Sherar
F:   35 Nell Morris-Dalton   19 Erone Fitzpatrick
R:   12 Jessica Good   26 Tayla McMillan   5 Abbie McKay
Int:   24 Brooke Vickers   20 Lily Goss   2 Lauren Bella   55 Sophie McKay   13 Aisling Reidy
Em:   8 Lily Baxter   42 Tara Bohanna   30 Kiara Bischa

[1] Keck out injured. We will miss her; she's been good this season. Bohanna has been dropped and is struggling at the moment. Maybe age is catching up with her? I hope not, as she has been good since she came down from Gold Coast. She hasn't been holding her marks of late.

[2] Nice to see Tayla McMillan get her chance. She is small, but was impressive in the U18's last year.

[3] Injury has certainly made a difference to us; we've had a lot of girls starting late and clearly missing match fitness. Sophie McKay is just the most obvious example. With Bree Harrington missing to have her baby, we needed Lauren Bella to stand up. Instead, she's missed most of the season and looks a little off the pace. Hope she can get her act together sooner rather than later.

Absolutely destroyed Richmond. And Tayla McMillan kicked her 1st goal.
Big games from Abbie McKay, Dayna Finn ... in fact, all of our mids. Lauren Bella improved in the ruck, but didn't get much of it. A step forward.

Great win by the girls 👏

Erone Fitzpatrick seems to get better with every game. It’s hard to believe that she’s a cross-coder.

Interestingly Dayna Finn still retains an awkward Gaelic footy kicking style but it’s very effective and, apart from that, she plays like she’s grown up with the game too.
