AFLW R5 - Carlton Vs North Melbourne - Sat 7:10 @ Tassie

[kruddler]

Next weeks fixture has been revealed and we are up against the Kangas down at Tassie.

Not great having to play against them, but they are currently in a slump so the timing is probably right.

I predict a couple of changes based on last weeks effort.

Out: Edwards, Downie (managed/dropped)
In: Loynes, Gibbs (Debut)

Lets see what happens.

Let's hope the MRP doesn't impact the result!

It's funny game AFL, last season I think we were lucky to win some games, but we did and that is all you can ask. This year we look less polished in general but our best footy makes us look like we should be winning, we just aren't putting it together regularly enough.

I think Rnd 1 took the wind out of our sails a bit, and set the Filth rolling, that was a cracking start to the season.

We are nowhere near our best currently.
We are playing better each week.
We have better players playing each week.
We are still somewhat out of form.
We are building... and we have enough time to build.
Its better doing it that way than what north have done which is start like an all conquering, unbeatable beast.....to missing out on finals

They are truly struggling just at the moment.
I wish we were on TV, as I just can't get anything on the 'net at the moment.

You got enough data on your phone? Use your 4g/5g and stream to your TV?

Well i was kinda right.

Won't be surprised to see McEvoy get a run in the mid rotations with Prespakis out, probably depends on match fitness.

You shouldn't be surprised. She played through there last week on occassions.

And we're off.

....and a former Carlton player gets the first goal. KGJ.
