AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7 - crashlander - 03-15-2018

Hopefully there are a few more good players to vote for this week.


Re: AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7 - kruddler - 03-17-2018

I think we were a bit unlucky this week. Plenty of 'triers' but no real dominant players.

I've gone with...

3. Harris
2. Loynes
1. S. Hosking

HM Downie and Katie-Jayne Grieves in her 2nd game showed plenty of fight (although that elbow was a worry)


Re: AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7 - Jack Burton - 03-17-2018

3 S Hosking
2 Harris
1 Loynes

Let down by our kicking again (both in the field and at goal). Time for a 3 year rebuild?



Re: AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7 - LP - 03-17-2018

3 S. Hosking
2 T Harris
1 K Loynes

The only thing Sarah Hosking is missing is hitting the scoreboard.

Again we have no players who get more than15 possessions. While the opposition did. This week, thankfully, only 1.
But looking at the stats, we have a lot of improving to do.

3: Tayla Harris: 15 possessions and 5 marks from CHF is a great effort when you consider how the ball gets delivered.
2. Katie Loynes: She has a huge heart and goes in where angels fear to tread.
1. Sarah Hosking: will go down as our premier midfielder this year, with 15 possessions.

Some of our better performed layers this year, like Shae Audley, barely had a touch. Nicola Stevens, for example had 6 possessions. We can't win when so many of our players get less than 10 possessions.

I thought Nic Stevens was hard done by. At least 3 Free kicks went against her.
1. Where she was tackled, got a handball and it was called a throw.
2. Where she ran through the pack to pick up the ball, got tackled as soon as she touched the ball, was held and slung after the tackle despite the ball being lodged out immediately after she touched it and got done for holding the ball.
3. I think there was one where she tackled someone but a free was not given, despite prior opportunity and no genuine attempt made.

Said similar about Audley and Lucas-Rodd last week i think. If they were on a mens list, they'd be Nick Graham type players - Good VFL players, but lacking the size/speed at the top level.

I do not disagree. She will not be happy, especially as we lost by less than 2 goals. That is not the only time this year she has been penalized in supposedly 50:50 situations. Does she talk back to the ump? They certainly do not like her much.
But, unfortunately, she hasn't been able to perform as she would prefer. She would probably be the first to admit it. Our style of play does not allow for the sharing of the ball that Collingwood did both this year and last year and which allowed her to get a number of possessions.
She hasn't shown the elite kicking she is supposed to have. Quite the opposite. It may well be that she has taken one of the better players each week and has had to play more negatively (even though she has spent time on the wing). She has certainly been playing on smaller, faster players than she did last year. Last year she often took the tall forwards. The only time she didn't, she was on Darcy Vescio. Darcy gave her a football lesson, as Stevens would not play in front. She used to run off the bigger, slower players and make then worry about her. This has not happened this year.


Re: AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7 - kruddler - 03-17-2018

I thought she was our 2nd best in Rd 1 and had her in the best handful a couple of times.

I think she is playing a lot more defensively than she would like, and that could be part of her/our problem.

I have no doubt she is a footballer, she thinks, moves and acts like a footballer. She just needs to be freed up a bit more.

I think in the first couple of rounds she spent a bit more time forward, or was at least allowed a license to run forward, as she kicked a goal on a few occasions. Since Davey went down, i can't remember her kicking one.

She may not have been at her best this year, i didn't watch any collingwood games last year apart from our contest in R1, but i think we have much bigger problems on our list. She won the pies B+F last year, the talent is there and she hasn't lost it, we just need to utilise it better.


Re: AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7 - LP - 03-17-2018

I agree, the Davey injury and others has forced the club to re-task Stevens from what she would have otherwise have liked. Also perhaps from what we had intended.

I cannot wait to see her freed up and pushing further up the field.

I'm starting to see why we parted ways with our recruiter, we have zero depth and a lot of very similar players!
