The most established team v the newest team. Did not look like that was the case at any time. I'd like to find positives but I'm struggling. We suffer from perennial regression I'm afraid.
That aside. We bank 4pts and no percentage points.
The first 3 qtrs, very positive but that last qtr is something that seems to run through the club. Letting the opposition kick 3 goals in a couple of minutes when on top is just so Carlton at any level, let alone the women's game where goals are so tough to get.

Hearing you but after the last month this club just needed to win a bloody game.

We monstered them.
We gave them no space. We tackled, smothered, and pressured with intent.
Perhaps its a sign of the times that, just like the mens game, you cannot go 100% for 100% of the time.
Perhaps we need to find a balance.
Keeping in mind we had...
Keeley Skepper playing her first game
Mia Austin playing her second game
Annie Lee playing her 5th game
Brooke Vickers playing her 5th game
Keeley Sherar playing her 8th game
and even the 'experienced'
Mimi Hill was playing just her 14th game.
All of the above are either 18 or 19, thats 1/4 of your side.
Add that many that age to any side and you are not going to find a side capable of performing such a physical style for a full 4 quarters.
We are babies.

I think as a club we've just come to accept tardiness, we've been kicked around at the bottom of the ladder too long and as such our mindset accepts being challenged with little or no push back. We are timid, we are submissive, we like playing nice, both in the AFL and the AFLW.

We are younger than the expansion team which is what i'm trying to get across.

Bombers poached well.

With respect. 3q is not enough in a game that runs for 4q. Although we've had changes, we also have a core group that have played together for 1 - 6 seasons. Unlike the 1 game experience the had. Despite that they played out the game. Turning up the heat in 4q. No excuses IMO.

In terms of first games for the club (most recruited that same year)
Vescio, Moody, Pound and Plane (who didn't play today) are the only players remaining from season 1.
Kez Peterson (Harrington) joined in Season 2.
In season 3 we got B. Walker (didn't play today) and McKay
Season 4 is McEvoy, Laloifi
Season 5 is O'Dea, Hill, Guerrin, D. Walker
Season 6 is Lee, Trudgeon, Sherar, Vickers and Dal Pos.
So again, we are building/rebuilding with a bunch of kids.
People forget that the Bombers VFLW team won the flag this year. They have played together about as much as we have.

The Bombres were lucky to get that close. We outplayed them for most of the game but a fickle bounce or two and free kicks that went their way got them back into the game.
I thought we had a much better structure this week but we're still struggling to take advantage of our inside 50s. Maybe try Kez as a forward or bring in Gibbs.
Interestingly, Prespakis seemed to get her share of free kicks; certainly better than when she was in navy blue :
She had a good game but I think that the youngsters coming through now will pass her by with their speed and athleticism. Gee didn't do a lot and I don't think we'll miss her.Re: AFLW 2022b - R2 vs Bombers - Sunday, 11:10 @ Port Melbourne - LP - 09-04-2022

I was simply pleased to get the win. We had he guts ripped out of our team. We're so young it is not funny. We're still learning the caper. To win, especially against our traitors, was a step forward.
