Women's Footy 2024 Week 8 Blues well beaten by Dogs

[Blue By Blood]

Our list lacks athleticism and polish. We draft for grunt but seem to be drafting a lot of low ceiling type players. We’re good in the contest and have a lot of hard workers but we lack height, athleticism, and polish to move the ball. Pretty critical of our list management mainly.

We need a pretty big clean out again IMO. Our percentage being so woeful is a big indication of our talent levels just not matching other teams.

More garbage served up, fumbles , terrible by foot and hand, all crowding around the ball like an under 10's game, either the coach is rubbish or they are unable to follow a game plan. So frustrating watching them butcher the ball and drop easy marks.

 

[Opium]

Can't even kick a football. Basic skills

 

[ESKIE]

Dogs so much cleaner with their skills and awful defending there

 

[Christou2Kouta]

I can’t believe they won last week and cost themselves the chance to get Centra at the end of the season.

We have been abysmal whenever we play the 3 rucks. Why does Buck persist with this?

 

[T2B_]

Why can't we play Freo every week lol

 

[baggersforflaggers]

Worst game of footy I have seen any Carlton team play ever!! Disgraceful… and our men have had some stinkers… a team that couldn’t kick a goal last week kicked 60points..

I don't mean to be negative but occasionally I glance at our AFLW games and they are becoming virtually unwatchable. Expanding the number of teams seems to have had a very poor effect on the standard, or is it just only ever watching the Carlton ones is not giving me a balanced view?

First quarter was ok as we spreaded but Dogs upped the pressure and we capitulated. Our ladder position reflects our season.

I refuse to believe that we have the right coach.

We’ve only got 5 or 6 players who would get a game at the top sides.

It’s a half decade fix at best.

The dogs are bad and had scored 170 points in 8 games leading into tonight, where we allowed them to score 61

I really want the aflw to succeed, but I have no desire to watch our girls, every time I do I am so frustrated with the lack of improvement.

It’s night and day watching north/Brisbane vs watching us

The spray didn’t work. A young list so next year to judge imo.

It's a reasonable group of young players who are already decent, or will be decent IMO.

Does someone want to start and run these AFLW game day threads for the rest of the season? I cut my Kayo off for the summer and it is due to run out in a day or so. I won't be watching the games live.

If you haven’t had any other volunteers, I’m happy to do this!

Still got a bit of Supercars and AFLW to go (amongst other things) so my Kayo remains active.

The job is yours. Cheers

The inconsistency is frustrating. We looked much better against Geelong and Freo but haven’t been able to do it the following week.

Have a decent break before the Pies next Sunday so hopefully that helps and allows the likes of Kez and Darcy to recover.

 

[blueboy25]

Not a great effort by the girls, skills really hurt us.

I know there has been a lot of commentary about the fixturing but to have a team that played the last game on Saturday in WA have to back it up on a Thursday night is ridiculous.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

They were off all night. Bulldogs had energy and effort to burn and we looked flat and lethargic. We have players getting games who don’t deserve it based on form. Our midfield is our strong point yet we play Hill in the backline and Brie Moody as a forward. We’d be getting a lot more ball going forward if those two spent more time around the contest. Extremely frustrating to play like we did last night.
