Women's Footy Round 3, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

[Bucking Beads]

Midfield getting absolutely smashed.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Need to start phasing out those who can't kick the ball 30 metres or risk falling behind the pack

 

[Hollow Knight]

Awful. Same unstructured randomball dross we served up against the Hawks 2 weeks ago.

 

[Elixuh]

You can’t play this gamestyle if you can’t stick tackles and are this fumbly. The entries also aren’t getting deep enough meaning turnovers are slingshotting out.

 

[rwan566]

We need a better ruckman than hickey she is sub par, really feel that team has lost its edge ever since we lost webster

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Tackles outside the respective forward fifties 25-8 to the Blues although pressure on their disposals was okay.

Agree skills are poor again. Same as round one.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Looks like a distinct lack of talk. And/or listening.

 

[Lionwest]

The new phase of AFLW players have speed and skills, territory based football will struggle going forwards. A lot of the current players will get passed by rather quickly

 

[Lionwest]

Our centre ball ups were horrendous, Carlton ruck limits Hickey leap and then taps it to the defensive side. We constantly left a Carlton player in that drop zone.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

third times the charm!

 

[Nathan Barley]

That’s not a free

Where do they find these umps?

 

[Elixuh]

Top shelf umpiring so far this half. Never said a bad word about them.

 

[Elixuh]

What was that kick. I mean it worked but my god why.

 

[Lionwest]

Shame we couldn't manufacture a goal in the last 30 seconds there.

 

[weevil]

The half time drone show was great.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

eugh that the kind of last quarter we're going to get huh...

dangit

 

[Nathan Barley]

Why with a team of horrible kicks have they been instructed to take on the corridor with kicks like that?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Has really felt like a group of old battlers being found out by the new wave, highly skilled ladies who we haven’t been able to keep up with

 

[FLVanLandingham]

you HAVE to call that. my word....

 

[Mayestro]

Kicking inside 50 needs some work. The amount of intercept marks has killed us.

 

[rwan566]

We don’t even look when we kick

 

[briztoon]

The game has gone past our squad. Just a continual lack of composure and complete lack of game sense.

Out played, out coached and out skilled.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Poll is up.

 

[Bucking Beads]

The game has gone past our squad. Just a continual lack of composure and complete lack of game sense.

Out played, out coached and out skilled.

Looked that way for sure.

 

[Elixuh]

It’s difficult to play this brand now that teams can mark the ball. When we overcommit in attack and it turns over teams have too many loose players and can slingshot easily. Once upon a time that wasn’t an issue because the ball was always in dispute.

Despite that I thought the difference tonight was really their marking, a few fluke goals they managed which we couldn’t match.
