AFLW 2021 Rd 1: Carlton vs Collingwood at Ikon on Thursday

[kruddler]

Dont normally watch the AFLW but with the Blues hyped up I thought I might have another look and its been disappointing.
Pies girls seem bigger, better skilled and generally have more composure with ball in hand, Maddy P playing a lone hand in the middle and the girls down back look undersized and lacking much nous unlike the Collingwood defense who are very solid.

I'm pretty sure the pies are at full strength.
We are missing 3 starters. (Not including Dalton who is sitting out the year)
When you have 16 on the ground, and only 30 to choose from, it hurts.

When i did my mock team, i left out a couple of players, notably Brazzale, simply because kicking skills are not up to scratch. It is showing tonight.
Could've played a couple other, better skilled players, and it'd make a difference.

Our girls have heart and won't throw in the towel. Half is a good motivator and should give us a good start. Hopefully we can use it.
