The 2025 VFLW Season Summary

ROUND 4 vs Fark Carlton

@theDJR

ENTER: MEG HARRISON

@theDJR

This will be Ashlea Melnikas’ 75th VFLW game (17 with us).

A wrong-way detour:

… means:

@theDJR

Radio 3DJR is seated just as Tia goes CLUNK.

I know what everyone’s mother told us not to say, but I AM SCARRED.

@theDJR

Porter three botches in three seconds (two fails to pick up the ball, one bad kick).

Bloody hell.

But to be actually fair, shortly afterwards:

@theDJR

Porter did a Good Thing.

(spoil)

It’s all about her:

@theDJR

Despite another Porter skill error, great work by Jordan to set up an AbbeyMcDonald goal.

20-7

@theDJR

4:30 into the second quarter: The yobbos finally get their BALL rewarded. Clueless FCer had no idea it was coming from Bernardi, who was clearly watching the ump and entered the no-longer protected zone at pace from behind.

I believe this is the first time I used this descriptor:

@theDJR

Ibrahim has sticky fingers.

@theDJR

Porter just had to take a chest mark. Went for a double patty cake instead.

WTF.

Yes, there are only two players in this game:

@theDJR

Huge spoil by Ibrahim sprinting 40m off the bench

Not playing:

@theDJR

Fark. Late-out Lily Bateman is on crutches, with a moon boot on her right foot.

Albrecht being zippy:

@theDJR

Scar off with bloodied nose.

She thinks it’s funny.

@theDJR

AbbeyMcDonald had a big serving of aggro pills before this game.

Love it.

It was just a humdrum win:

@theDJR

We fark Fark Carlton 7.7.49 to 3.4.22

@barry_day

You can never have enough Fark Carlton.

Also, Fark Collingwood!

@theDJR

And as a big bonus for the day, the till-now winless Darebin knocked off the Pies in the final minute of the game.

DEMATTEEEEEEEEEEEOOO!!!

@theDJR

Abbey McDonald kicked her first goal for us today.

Later, she kicked her second goal for us.

She had some short stints as a forward, but was mostly on the ball.

Spoiler: she was easily our BOG.

Here are the videos of those impressive goals:
