[HBF]

This will be a pretty good test for us.
We need a win badly, otherwise we can kiss this season good-bye.

Really depends on team selection.

AFLW injury update: Trio primed for return

Three injured AFLW Blues have been cleared ahead of Round 3.

www.carltonfc.com.au

After sustaining a facial fracture in the Blues’ January practice match with the Saints, Lucy McEvoy has been cleared to play ahead of the Round 3 rematch.
Also back in the mix this week is Carlton veteran Gab Pound, who has been cleared to play after spending the opening fortnight on the sidelines with a hand fracture.

Adding to Carlton’s returning defensive depth, Mua Laloifi will be available for selection after missing Round 2 with a concussion sustained in the season opener.

 

[Jeremias]

Good to see Mua, Pound & McEvoy are all set to return to the side.

All three are hugely important players, with the former two in particular sorely missed - just look at how difficult it has been for us to bring the ball outside defensive 50.

This is a must win game. Done and dusted if we start 0-3, in a short season there's just about no coming back from that.

Will make a huge difference.

Let’s launch this season, ladies. Polish around the ground and finish the good work.

 

[Number 10 is cursed]

Those 3 come in and Plane, Edwards and Stevens miss out I reckon.

 

[GalaxyBlue]

Probably way off (as usual), but my thoughts are -

In: McEvoy, Pound, Laloifi
Out: Hammans, Edwards, Plane

I hope Vernon stays in over Plane. Hammer is definitely promising, but think McEvoy gets the spot over her.

 

[Neese]

Must win, let's see what the team has learnt from the past 2 matches.
I get home from work about 10 minutes before this starts so bestie better be on time.
Go Blues. Also waiting to see if the team will still play here in Adelaide. I hope so.

 

[HBF]

Hopefully this game still goes ahead.

 

[GalaxyBlue]

Games behind closed doors better than no games at all, I guess!

 

[BlueGum]

i was going to have to miss this game - booked for something else. But will go and get essential beers and be watching from the couch now.

We'll win this one.

[HBF]

We'll win this one.

I hope so.
We need to get on the scoreboard, and quickly.

 

[thylacine60]

With no-one watching how will we know?

 

[myblueroan]

I will do my bit.
If we are losing horribly will resort to Esoteric style reporting.

 

[BlueGum]

Welcome and congrats Daisy. Look forward to seeing another youngster debut.

Fingers crossed we put a whole game together. Strong chance if we do. Go baggers!
