Friday 'night' match is something a little different at this time of year and it will give us a short week, especially since we have to travel!
Not sure a 5-day break after a gruelling match is what we need right now, but if wanna contend, we can't make anymore excuses.
My predictions...
In: Walker
Out: Walker
I've been calling for Al Downies head the last few weeks and while she was far from impressive, her playing down back has freed up Harrington who has put in her best 2 games of the year courtesy of this.....so Downie stays....for now.
I think that Downie is an important piece of the puzzle. She mightn't get a lot of the ball but she is always in the contest, gives Moody a chop out, wins the contested footy and is a bit of a hard nut.
I would prefer to see her in our team each week and her ability to add a defensive role to her toolkit has positive outcomes for our other defenders.
If the opposition goes small, Ali has the ability to provide a marking target in our forward 50.

Carl win against GC (30pts) & GWS (15pts) = 20 points @ 119%
NM lose against Freo (20) & Bris (20) = 20 points @ 127%
WB lose against Ade (10) but beat Tigers (15) = 20 points @ 102%
Mel lose against Bris (10) & Freo (10) = 20 points @ 119%
That takes care of spots 5-8 so if it goes to plan, it will be nothing but % that makes finals.
In the above scenario, i made up IMO likely scores of all games and then worked out % last it actually meant we make finals by 0.8%....which is about 2 behinds worth.
Shows how important % is from here!
Just wish it was a final 8. Unfortunately it's a final 6 and we are 2 games and a huge percentage out with 2 games to go sadly.

After what happened last night, it will be good to get a win......% the bonus.
I was confident we would lose last night and i'm equally confident we will win tonight.
Lets see...
Re: AFLW R8 - Carlton vs Gold Coast @Metricon - Fri 5:10pm - kruddler - 03-19-2021
So....3.1 to GC (0.0 to us) halfway through the first quarter is not ideal. :o
We'll come back, but not a great start
Vescio gets 1.
Walker starting to work into the game.
1/4 time, down by 2 goals.

Twice harris has had head high contact and twice she has flopped for no free.
I reckon if she didn't flop, she'd get the free. Stop playing for frees!
Re: AFLW R8 - Carlton vs Gold Coast @Metricon - Fri 5:10pm - kruddler - 03-19-2021
Vescio on fire today.
Has us 2 points up.
Re: AFLW R8 - Carlton vs Gold Coast @Metricon - Fri 5:10pm - kruddler - 03-19-2021
Gold Coast 3.1
Darcy Vescio 3.1 (other carlton players 0.3)

Despite giving them a 3 goal headstart, its now 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter (after a 5-day break) and we are double their score.
52-26.

Darcy Vescio just took mark of the year and kicked her 5th.
She'll get the 3 votes.....and the 2 and 1 as well.
