VFLW 2023

[crashlander]

The Blues played Port Melbourne and beat them comfortably.
CARL  3.1 (19)  5.6 (36)  5.6 (36)  6.8 (44)
PORT MELB  0.3 (3)  1.4 (10)  2.6 (18)  2.8 (20)

A number of the AFLW girls played: apparently, each team is allowed a maximum of 10 to play each week.

This week's lineup:
B:  13. K. Lennox,  14. P. Trudgeon
HB: 9. B. Gurr,  10. G. Lawson-Tavan, 7. A. Bild
C:  33. L. Beatty,  5. I. Khoury,  31. O. Di Donato
HF: 6. E. Honeybun,  17. K. Day,  40. C. Bernardi (captain)
F:  26. M. Cowan, 18. E. Hurley
R:  8. M. Runting,  1. A. Klingbeil, 20. M. Di Cosmo
INT: 39. J. Dunne, 21. V. Murphy, 27. A. Thorneycroft, 36. A. Lee
EMG: 4. C. Bain, 10. E. Wood, 28. T. Kolevski, 16. L. Robertson

These are the AFLW girls who have been named as availavble for the VFLW:
Mia Austin, Jess Dal Pos, Jess Good, Lily Goss, Maddy Guerin, Mimi Hill, Mua Laloifi, Annie Lee, Abbie McKay, Phoebe McWilliams, Imogen Milford, Breann Moody, Elise O'Dea, Taylor Ortlepp, Kerryn Peterson, Gab Pound, Keeley Sherar, Keeley Skepper, Paige Trudgeon, Amelia Velardo, Darcy Vescio, Brooke Vickers, Daisy Walker
Mind you, since this list was made, there have already been some changes. Elise O'Dea, for example, has retired. I doubt she'll play.

You will note that only 2 AFLW girls played this week.

I heard on the grapevine Trudgeon was probably BoG or at least one of the best, that's good news for our AFLW squad.

Do we have an AFLW coach yet?

Do we have an AFLW coach yet?

Alas, no. It would be handy to have one sooner rather than later, but it is clear we're trying to find 'the right one'.

This Saturday at Carlton at 13:00, we play Geelong. Maybe we'll play a couple more AFLW girls, as only 2 played last round.

The team for this week's game:

B: P. Trudegon (14) K. Lennox (13)
HB: A. Bild (7) G. Lawson-Tavan (10) B. Gurr (9)
C: E. Hosking (3) I. Khoury (5) O. Di Donato (31)

EMG E. Wood (11) L. Robertson (16) T. Nicolaou (22)  T. Kolevski (28) J. Dunne (39) R. Watts (35)

Still on 2 AFLW girls. A plan for the season? Maybe. Not sure other teams will do the same, not when 10 are allowed for any one game.

Maybe they want to see who can play and then look to promote ?
On the other hand most will play better with senior players, playing with system… have we had a system the past couple of seasons ?

The girls lost by one point.
Carlton 2 - 9 - 21
Geelong 3 - 4 - 22
Disappointing.

I couldn't find the VFLW team to post before the game, but there were a couple of changes. We played 3 AFLW girls this week: Taylor Ortlepp was the inclusion.
The girls played Essendon, last year's premiers, and destroyed them.
Carlton: 10 - 8 - 68
Drug Cheats: 2 - 2 - 14
