[Off The Couch]

Nice warm day - lucky they are playing late in the day

Just stopped off at the Court House for a drink and will then head across

 

[HawkInExile]

Finally Tilly has won a coin toss lol

Hope its a good omen

 

[Off The Couch]

Might be a long afternoon
Getting hold of it for no reward atm

 

[The Post Man]

I worry Baskaran is not going to make it. She is slow, has poor game awareness and panics at the sight of a contest.

I thought the ball movement was good early, but as always , started from our backline. Shallow entries and forwards playing behind are killing any chance of hitting the scoreboard.

 

[Off The Couch]

Absolutely superb play deserves a goal

 

[HawkInExile]

Good things happen when Fleming gets gets going, using her speed and foot skills.

 

[TFFM]

Fleming will be the best player in the comp soon.

 

[HawkInExile]

Much better quarter Hawks!

 

[I got the outside word]

Kind of hoping Akec is replaced soon. Soft as butter and turns it over far too often.

I'm convinced you are here just to troll

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Tihe killing us
Only 8 down which I'm happy about.
Expected a blow out

 

[The Post Man]

Baskaran had a good third quarter. Used some speed that she hasn’t shown previously. I hope she keeps this up.

Getting reamed by the whistles! They are so incompetent. If I didn’t know better, you could think they were biased.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Positive signs.
Desperately need to recruit a couple of players who know how to mark

Our accuracy issues are in our head now. Very gettable shots being passed off

Again with soph Locke on limited minutes

After 3 games, akec has really lost a yard of pace

 

[The Post Man]

Makur Chuot is not up to it. Another one of those recruits that is highly questionable.

As I said earlier, our ball movement at times was great, but attacking from the back half won’t win you games.the midfield is a strong area for us, but they are getting smoked. How can we get the ball in Fleming’s hands more? She is our most dangerous and damaging kick - makes some outstanding decisions with the ball and executes superbly.

 

[Off The Couch]

Thought the girls put in a pretty good effort and should be pleased at how they are coming along

Over used it at times but seem to be trying to play similar to how our guys play - play on at all costs and there was quite often one handball too many

Aine Tighe is such a presence for the dockers - the difference between the two

Thought Fleming, Ashworth, Tilly and contrary to unpopular opinions, I thought Baskaran went okay today

Akec was disappointing after what I thought was a pretty good second half last week

 

[FB19]

Decent effort but their defensive positioning and game sense is pretty bad we are quite a way off. Also could the men’s team draft in Aine Tighe as second kpf?
