Not the result we wanted, mainly due to our own errors, although the umpiring did not help. Lots of good signs, but not quite enough.

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

Not sure if this is possible, but I think it would be very useful if the CSC Home page had a small section somewhere near the header that let people publish links to our games that are being streamed, and another section for links to any known replays of recent games.

I think it would help attract people to this site if they knew we were a source of Carlton or NB game links.

More of a challenge after a loss:

Choose ONE ONLY Green Shoot you observed from the game.  Can be a player, passage of play and individual effort, any ONE Shoot that put a smile ???? on your face.

If I was Bolts I would have loved the fact that twice we dropped behind and could have tossed in  the towel and twice we dug in and hit back!

Green shoot :  Team attitude today.

Carlton vs the 'Aints at Etihad. I would have much preferred the MCG: it suits our team.

Get the feeling out of your system here.

All ready for Saturday. I'll be training down this round.

Tayla Harris has requested a trade back to Melbourne!

Apparently we are the front runner! :o

Great article in The Hun by Eliza Sewell linked HERE.

Note the lack of spin and bullcrap, just the facts!

For the next draft there is a one game Father & Daughter rule I never knew about!

PS: Our club now has a nice summary of the new AFLW Trade / Draft rules. HERE

Just heard of the passing of Lou aged 94. RIP.

He was one of the commentators I first heard when I started watching footy. Very sad to hear this news.
