Preview Round 8 v Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval (Fremantle Oval)

[GrommoT]

Technically that was a mark by Woodland. Technically, she dropped it while tackling so should've been incorrect disposal. Goal

All that was probably rattling through the ump's head and led to a brain lock.

 

[Bonkers000]

Had to be kicking in danger

God the umpiring.

 

[MarcusP2]

Geez ponter

 

[Scorpus]

The game has been played in our forward half all day yet we're a real chance to win by less than 10 points

 

[CrowinNT]

Noffy and Hatchy
Combining

Yep, it really did blow out in the end.

 

[jenny61_99]

Great last quarter!

Geez ponter

Well at least she kicked 2 goals and that was the difference today.

 

[boffo]

Stunning domination in the second half.

Are you there or decided to stay home in dry wouldn’t blame you

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

It shows how far we have come in a couple of years. When we were previously missing both Erin and Chelsea we really struggled.

 

[boffo]

No real passengers today, every player had their moments and quite a few were outstanding.

Loved Rachelle Martin's game today. Never afraid to get in the contest, go for the smother, the tackle or lay a nice shepherd for her teammate. And always took 2 to 3 players to bring her to a stop. For someone so small, she is powerful. Hatch and Marinoff dominated again. Hatch was great, Eb was mostly good with a few hack kicks. Ponter was fantastic (minus the shank). Woodlands couldn't mark anything all day. Neither could Whiteley. Defence stood up strong. Button and Whiteley will be in danger of losing their spots.

Hopefully EJ isn't injured. She took a bad fall after a tackle very late in the game.

Haha. I’m in Brisbane trying to keep dry!

 

[Scorpus]

Excellent win. We crushed them in the second half, just completely took the game away from them and only struggled to put scoreboard pressure on.

Fremantle tactics of holding off the ball, scragging, tackling during marking attempts... umpires should have paid 50+ frees in our forward line alone.

Thought we might have blown it in the 3rd with all that dominance for little reward. Finished very strongly.
We look fitter t H an Freo and some of theirs were struggling in the 2nd half.
Onward to the premiership.

That almost secures top spot.

 

[1990crow]

Clearly currently the best team in the comp.

The amount of times the umpire had clear view in front of a pack and the ball was thrown out or incorrectly disposed was ridiculous. In saying this, I'm not surprised about the umpiring. It's bad every week.

Hehe. This is correct.

Agree we lost opportunities

 

[RePete]

Good win against the next best team in the comp at their home ground whilst we were missing two of our best in Randall and Phillips. Also, horrid umpiring, free kick count was 11-3 their way at half time. Get those 2 back, and kick accurately and we should do well in finals.
