8 v 50.
I'll take that. Better than the 80pt belting last time we played.
Fairly accurate showing of where our team is at. Life at the bottom ?

It’s hard to know where we are imho.
We are SO fumbly that who really knows what our game plan is ?
If we could gather and hit out first option we would have a better idea of where we sit.
The endevour is there in spades, it’s a bit like the mens the last couple of years the ball is just living in our backline, the weight of forward entry’s means that the backline will inevitably let through enough goals that we lose.
Too often we seemed to try to handball to someone who was too close which didn’t help.

I haven't watched the game yet but I have been thinking for some time that the lack of handballing power in the women's game limits its effectiveness. It's more of a last resort than a way to fashion an attacking chain of possessions.

Not sure if power is king but fumbles and poor disposal are the grim reaper.
Shortish, accurate and cleanly recieved handballs would probably be ok.
Several times tonight with the backline under siege a poor handball went to the back which was fumbled and given up allowing the GoDees to push the ball deeper forward, rinse repeat…

Pearce's handball to Harris deep i50 resulted in a goal. Nothing wrong with that. Our girls fumble. A lot. Also seem to be outmuscled. A lot.

In the end the result was about right.
We are missing 7 players from our best line-up which means we don't even have enough backups to field a competitive side.
Thought bernardi was pretty good considering the late Callup.
1/3 of your side out and losing your captain for chunks of the game to cap things off just socks.
Put it behind us, move onto next week starting now.

I felt they were outmuscled more because they fumbled or didn’t take clean position.

I forced myself to watch, Carlton has no system other than short handle balls to team mates under more pressure. Work rate to get to get into space or get in numbers to create a chain of possession is also lacking. They gave plenty of effort when they didn't have the ball, just didn't seem to when they had the footy.

I find it hard to watch our gals. They bust a gut and give their all, but (as others have noted) when they get the aggott they seem to just give it to the nearest team mate, regardless.

As I commented above, IF they were composed and took clean possession then cleanly disposed of it to a teammate in the clear they MAY show a beautiful system, problem is they are constantly cleaning up a shiitefight and putting themselves under enormous pressure at the same time.
If they can find a circuit breaker and find composure and ball skills they may do what the mens team did this year, come out and play clean football and look organised and dangerous and build from there.
