Women's Footy Round 2, 2023 - Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

A day of Ports.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Interesting we've gone in short down back against a tall forwardline

Based on last week's form I can't see us winning. Bringing in a couple of bigger midfielders should help

A day of Ports.

Officially this is just a day of Tawnys as we are not playing in the relevant part of Portugal.

Champaign here in the spring climes of WA with the sounds of Leonard Cohen in the background.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Early poll as I'll be out and about today.

 

[Elixuh]

Good start

 

[LionsMaw]

Quietly confident of a win today.

ETA: LOVE the clash strip!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Looking sharp early

 

[Nunez]

Pressure has been great.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Great start so far. Go Lions

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Good mark in defence by McKee, slowly finding her feet at this level

 

[MSB ROYS]

Dakota just missed everything from 2m out on an angle.

Can't see us beating a team that had 1 win, 8 losses, & a draw??

LOL

The women's Joey?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Got to do much better after we score a point. Port are transitioning the ball into their forward 50.

Nice goal. Go Lions!

 

[Tom14]

There was an excellent article in the adelaide newscorpse papers about Lauren Arnell being the first AFLW coach to work through pregnancy. Good luck to her and port (except for today).

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Nice goal. Go Lions!

Rapt for her. Did well in the ruck and continued on with it, to snap her first goal

 

[Nathan Barley]

Looking like a different team this week

 

[MSB ROYS]

Lions 4.3.27 to Port 1.0.6 at quarter time.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Richmond's pressure was very good last week, they played defensively and beat us on the sling shot. Port playing a more traditional set up, which hasn't worked to date.

Our forward entries are much deeper this week and making the most of opportunities.

 

[Elixuh]

Lol such a bad htb call

 

[Nunez]

* umpires just love to get involved don't they. Terrible call.

 

[dlanod]

Holding the ball without being wrapped up.

At least the refs are consistent between AFLM and AFLW.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Maybe they're just starting the season like the men's team and getting a howler out of the way in round 1
