AFLW Round 4 v Hawthorn Friday 22 September, @Frankston

[Dory_77]

Hot start to the year for the W team. Haven't played any particularly tricky sides yet, but 70+ scores each week and 10 goal wins is massive for the league.

It's cocky but really this is another W coming up, just a question of how much. We faced the Hawks in pre-season and won by 60 odd, while burning plenty of chances. In our current form that seems likely to be repeated. Hawthorn have shown some decent signs for a young team, however. Might be a bit like the Dogs game - scrappy and hot at the contest but our class and experience overpowers them.

Bannan likely out this week with A Mackin debuting. Maddi Gay seemed sore last week and maybe gets a rest too? Fitzy might be back in, listed as a test on the injury report.

Really enjoying watching the girls this season so far. They clearly have the #demonspirit

Gay out.

Very surprised Bannan is still in, though still a chance she's a late out for Ivey.

Yeah, bloody hard to watch in that pocket particularly

 

[Scythe94]

God Hore is a star

 

[Scythe94]

Scrappy few minutes

 

[Scythe94]

That run by Bannan was incredible. Ridiculously quick

 

[PerfectFooty]

Yeah i gotta rep my girl again. Elite speeds

 

[Scythe94]

Gee it's nice to see a Melbourne team with some run and dare off half-back

 

[PerfectFooty]

Open your eyes

 

[jhong]

Nice of the umps to pluck a charity free for the Hawks

 

[Scythe94]

Three in the quarter for Zanker

 

[PerfectFooty]

Zanker is having a great season. Leads like a pure full forward, holds strong when she needs too. Really throws her whole body behind the mark

Also allows the release of Harris to go further up the ground too, whereas last year she'd only really leave the forward 50 to ruck

 

[PerfectFooty]

Zanks taking a running bounce on the wing too

Cmon Tayla

Pretty certain you can't block the player on the mark or even come in to do it until play on is called, but it's whatever we get the win
