The 22 who played the practice match were;
1. Brianna Davey
2. Katie Loynes
3. Darcy Vescio
4. Madeline Keryk
5. Katherine Gillespie-Jones
6. Gabriella Pound
7. Sarah Last
8. Kate Darby
10. Sarah Hosking
12. Lauren Brazzale
13. Lauren Arnell
14. Laura Attard
15. Nat Exon
16. Breann Moody

23. Jessica Kennedy
25. Kate Shierlaw
26. Shae Audley
27. Alison Brown
30. Alison Downie
31. Danielle Hardiman

They all had a crack. Davey, Downie, Vescio, Hosking, Exon, Arnell, Audley all in the best for me. Gee it was good to see a game of footy. Got a bit shitty with Dees supporters (so entitled to frees), sun was shining, team turned it on in the last quarter.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Exon. Quality little player.

Love that pic of Darce giving the thumbs up. She's infectious. Great result too, even if it is just a praccie. A semblance of footy already, I'll take it!

 

[BlueGum]

She's a great creative spark in the forward line.

Is that Loynes or Trevean in a moon boot?

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Did anyone go? What was the standard like? Hope it is an even competition with all teams competitive but 1 goal 3 by Melbourne on a perfect day for footy is a worry.

trevean didn't play, so probably her. Loynes did, and well.

it had some quiet patches, i think because both teams strong on defence. Hence the low scoring until 3 quarter time.But the footy was contested, hard at it. Sometimes showing a little bit of rustiness with fumbles or dropped marks. Then the pressure would come and play would get bottled up a bit.

I was trying to keep track of where players were being fielded but gave up, they swung them round each quarter (for Carlton at least. Melbourne weren't wearing numbers so bugger all chance of working out what they were up to). In the last quarter Carlton seemed to win it out of the middle, or have some switch kicks across the ground, and were working well as a forward line to present options as the ball came in.

Standard was good I thought for teams still coming together TL15. Think both teams were trying out different combinations of players and positions.

Any other observers?

Was Daisy Pearce playing for the other mob?
