Game Day AFLW R3 2019: Crows vs Cats @Norwood 2:05pm (17/2/19)

If only we converted point to a goal the first match we'd be equal top.

It's probably a way get extra goals but women's game should be 25 metre penalty instead of 50 as generally that's the average length kicked.

Good win. Should have won by more.

That sly mark about the Crow throw annoyed me too.

Conceding 6 goals is not great

 

[97-98]

Wow. This side is scary good

North still the team to beat I reckon.

Very good all round game and overall very enjoyable to watch. It would taste a bit sweeter if Geelong hadn't pulled a couple of flukey goals but not a big matter.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Marinoff looking super fit now. 33 disposals!!

Bloody rigged comp

 

[fabs33]

Marinoff had only six tackles, not good enough by her standards.

 

[ChilliP]

Noffi's 33 disposals in a game that's just over half as long as the men's game is a huge effort. Probably the equivalent of a 50 disposal full-length game.

Not the percentage booster it might have been but credit to Geelong's goalkicking accuracy, they made the most of the extremely few opportunities we allowed them.

Just a top notch overall performance, albeit against a weak side. Phillips was superb in the first half, Randall for all four quarters. We have genuine class on all lines now. Allan at FB is so impressive, fast, tall, calm under pressure and uses it well Randall is easily the best HB in the league and well in the discussion for best player full stop. Foley is excellent in that ruck role and contributes all over the ground. Marinoff has well and truly turned the corner from a disappointing 2018. Scheer is a beast up forward and remembered her kicking boots today, and then obviously Phillips as a goal sneak who can rotate through the middle is an absolute luxury. Thats without evening mentioning the likes of Thompson, Jones, Mules, A. Foley etc who all play their role well. There is tackling pressure all over the ground and there seems to be a structure they all understand. They're such a fun team to watch

One happy Crows girl.

They look like they're playing with a plan this year, that's the pleasing aspect. Barely allowed Geelong a sniff, to their credit they did well when they got a chance.

Fitness looks to have lifted a cog too. The young kids coming through the draft with that extra footy experience are lifting the teams across the board.

Oh and those 2 Randall and Phillips are handy.

Lucky they played in a good win. Helps them look more photogenic with big smiles on their faces.

What did the little girl think of the game?

Anyone still complaining about the level of skill in the women’s game is really looking stupid now

Our ability to flick a quick handball out of congestion today was incredible.

Because that's what's important about that series of pics

 

[ams4crows]

Here is that Perkins Tackle, so awesome

I never emphasised how important, but it's a good thing that taking photos produces big smiles, no?

That was a big play! Perkins needs to do more of this, even if she misses out on the goals, the heavy tackles can really help put more unease to the opposition defenders.

 

[ams4crows]

Also in more good news neither team got any season ending injuries. ACL's are more prevalent in Women.

Yes and no.

Our conference is full of strong sides, but the bottom end of each team is still miles away.

The good thing is its improving at a good rate each season.

Should be great, as long as the AFL doesn't do anything moronic like further divide the talent pool between another four teams next year.

Loved it. She said she wants to play with the Crows when she grows up, and Noffy is her favourite player. My daughter needs to work on her kicking distance though.

Was at the game. Crows were excellent.
