But I am more worried about why some of our good players in 2020 were so less effective in 2021.
The reality is we failed with a list which is stronger then many of the teams in the 6 and our poor start meant we always were going to be up against it.
Disappointed and I’m not willing to cut any slack
The other thing we need to look at is our game plan. We need to learn from what didn't work this year, so it doesn't happen in 2022. I want to see us being No.1 in 2022!

So we didn't really have a losing season last year.

This year it does hurt, a few too many injuries earlier in the year and missing Chloe Dalton for an olympics that never happened is an extra spanner in the works that was simply bad luck beyond our control.
I think we have an exciting group of young girls on our list to compliment are 'veterans'. I don't predict many retirements with the possible exceptions of Loynes and Downie, and we have been rather good at attracting more talent than we've been losing. So all hope is not lost yet.

What does this mindset achieve though aside from cementing that we are failures?
I.e. focusing on the positive is what can be the mindset to prevent future failure. We do need to acknowledge what went wrong, but more surrounding how to learn from it moving forward.
Its the way of the world and its the way the world is continuing to head to be able to recognise what went wrong, without beating yourself up over it.
I too have been guilty of that in the past but it really isn't healthy or helpful.

I’m fine if you want to be more positive about it if that makes you feel better about things.
But I prefer to call it as I see it.

I think the devil is in the deatail.
The season didn't go as expected, which is disappointing......BUT we will have the same group going forward and will learn from the disappointing season, specifically start of the season and it will make us more hungry from here.
Perhaps since we one of 4 teams left last year when the season was cancelled, and we started as favourites (or one of) we may have expected it to just happen. Now we know thats not the case and we will do our best to ensure it doesn't happen again.
At the end of the day, we are still in the top half of the competition, so all hope is not lost.

As best i can tell, Darcy Vescio is going to win the female version of the Coleman medal. She has 14 goals. There are 3 others who have 14 goals (Brennan, Hougton, Molloy) and they have all played this round.
Everyone else nearby has also played this round.
Her next closest rival is Cora Staunton (GWS) who has 8 majors.
...although Nic Stevens actually has 9, but less likely to overtake Vescio.
So currently, she has won the award....albeit sharing it. If she kicks 1 (or more) she doesn't need to share.
Re: AFLW R9 - Carlton vs GWS @Blacktown - SUN 4:10 - kruddler - 03-28-2021
Further to the above, she has the record for most in a year (14) which she has equalled her own efforts in year 1 (2017) when she won the same award. So whatever she kicks, she will have the most goals in a year as well.
Congrats Darcy.
Re: AFLW R9 - Carlton vs GWS @Blacktown - SUN 4:10 - kruddler - 03-28-2021
First goal Vescio. Outright winner of the goal kicking award, and record of most goals in a season (15)
....and counting?
