IT WAS a disappointing result for Carlton in a wet and contested affair as they fell short to Port Melbourne at IKON Park.

Here is what coach Tom Stafford thought of the Blues’ AFLW representatives.

23. Annie Lee
Stats: 11 disposals, three tackles.

"Annie Lee had 11 disposals, 10 of those kicks, and continues to be really effective with her disposal by foot in the defensive half of the ground."

35. Poppy Schaap
Stats: Eight disposals, eight tackles.

"Poppy played majority up forward, but she also spent a short burst in the third quarter in the middle of the ground and she gave us great spark in there and she had eight tackles, so she’s continuing with that defensive pressure which is great." 

30. Lauren Brazzale
Stats: Three disposals, four tackles.

"'Braz' continues to provide heaps of run and metres gained for us by playing on a wing." 

34. Charlotte Wilson
Stats: 12 disposals, three marks.

"Charlotte had 12 disposals and continuing to provide great leadership for our defenders." 

37. Charlotte Hammans
Stats: 10 disposals, three marks & one goal.

"'Hamma' had 10 disposals and she kicked the first goal of the game which was really important to get us off to a good start.

40. Imogen Milford
Stats: Five disposals, eight tackles.

"Imogen continues to work really hard in the forward half of the ground and she had eight tackles, so once again her defensive pressure has been really pleasing."
