AFLW 2023 Rd 4 Carlton vs Richmond Thursday 19th September 7:15PM @ IKON Park

[Robbo's my hero]

We won the quarter.

 

[Jimmae]

Just realised Vescio still.plays, thought she retired 2 years ago

Disrespectful on two fronts there. You might be thinking of O'Dea, or Arnell?

Some mark from Guerin

 

[Jimmae]

We're cooked. Output is better but fitness/mobility still a concern and no belief in our ability to execute kicks under pressure.

One of Good and Breann Moody is pointless if we get so little marking and mobility from both of them. Celine is a whole other issue as a forward.

 

[branedotorg]

Midfield drove the win last week, haven't fired a shot tonight.

 

[bigblueboy]

Conti is great to watch. Too much leeway given by the Carlton players.

Dayne Zorko coaching approach Mk II

 

[mjonc43]

Great to see our medical department works as well as the men's. Playing injured players, now Peterson out for the season.

 

[mjonc43]

Footy wise, Darcy isn't offering much to justify the two year contract extension.

 

[Mondyboy]

Haven’t looked like it for most of the game. We really need to bottom out, winning four games a year is in a [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] game season is not helping.

I think iOS 18 broke Big Footy.

Four teams this year have gone goalless. Who thought such rapid expansion would make the game better?

 

[RedFury]

Seems to be no plan forward of centre, except bomb it to Mia Austin, who is double teamed. Sounds familiar huh?

After a while, the effort drops away due to lack of reward for effort on the scoreboard.

Oh and maybe put someone on Conti FFS.

 

[Mondyboy]

The expansion has gutted half the clubs. There’s 7, maybe 8, decent teams. The rest, including us, don’t have the out and out superstars to be truly competitive. Or, we did, and we lost them to the expansion clubs. Grace Egan would have been handy tonight. So would a Hoskin.

And the pool of players simply isn’t big enough for a lower place team to see any rapid improvement.

It’s a decade away from being a decent competition. Which is sad.

What do they in off season ? Not much I think. Unfit,would not go near gym and no skills

It wasn't the expansion, it was the lack of compensation for high quality players leaving

 

[Robbo's my hero]

The opposition was better tonight but the intent and tactics of last week still should have worked. Hill and McKay were quiet. We normally see them win the ball and take territory. Not tonight. Celine Moody has had enough of an opportunity. Someone else should get a chance. Some stoic efforts in the back half but overall most of the team couldn’t win one on one or get creative enough with ball in hand.

Many work full time and their "off season" is nine months.


knock off the personal attacks

They have a pre-season, and they all play at least 2 VFLW games, some as many as 6. Not sure how many others play another sport though.

The issue is in high performance training programs and talent ID more so than full-time work.

 

[David Sylvian]

I do like to watch us play, but Thursday night games (AFL and AFLW) for those of us who work non 9/5 hours is infuriating.
So a big to the AFL.

 

[kaylamac]

Your argument failed when you typed "I think" knuckle dragger.

Alot of people work and still good at sport.
Nine months a long time to at least learn one skill.

No need for name calling

agreed, so knock off the personal attacks

A bit sensitive. Can't expect everyone to know these days who is wanted to be called what. It's called AFLW so perhaps not to offend we should remove the W for women so as not to offend and find a different word to appease.

World has gone loopy.

Have seen nothing to suggest Kerryn is out for the season!

 

[blueboy25]

Lost it at the selection table.

Surely they looked at the forecast and could have left out one of the talls and played a extra runner like Durrsma or Velardo

 

[branedotorg]

Commentators were suggesting it through the game, assume because of the compressed season.

 

[ianh]

Arrived at game midway through Q2 to see Kerryn walking out with her arm in a sling. What happened?

Also to suggest that we should have played an extra runner in lieu of a tall is perfectly sound and indeed I agree, but to say we lost it at selection is ludicrous. There is no way any available selection changes would have made that much difference, we were comprehensively outplayed for the 2.5 quarters I saw.

BTW I met some nice Richmond fans. What is the world coming to?
