[Mayestro]

Only half way through the first quarter but this is significantly better than I was expecting. And now O’Dwyer!!

Deleted my post thinking we had a game day thread up? Guess not.

This is the highest level of footy I’ve seen so far this season.

Movement of the footy and winning the territory battle is the key in AFLW, even more so in poor conditions. The better a team can move the ball and lock it in, the more scoring opportunities they get. Messy contests tend to happen more often than in the men’s game so a lot of the strategy really needs to be to play as much of the game inside your forward fifty at the cost of sometimes giving the opposition extra numbers at the other end. But there are relatively few fast break goals so it is a cost worth paying. Just stay inside fifty as long as possible and grab the chances when they come.

I think we are playing to that strategy well so far.

 

[Nunez]

The biggest difference between the two:

We get down and dirty and fight tooth and nail to win the footy. Adelaide are constantly waving their arms trying to win a free.

I know which team I'd rather follow into battle - regardless of the scoreline.

Chances of going undefeated into Round 3? Here's to hoping...

Free kick being commented on by the commentators - double ours in 15 minutes of footy. Seems generous

 

[Gadzorks]

We dominated the second quarter but just couldn’t finish.

Our two behinds were both hit the tall post.

cmon girls - foot down third quarter and show them how it’s done.

 

[Nunez]

Game is nowhere near over and we're clearly the better team, but not taking your chances in a game of limited chances could prove costly.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Umpires being swayed by a vocal home crowd.

Geelong using it better on the outside of the packs.

Geelong are also very good at ducking for frees.

 

[Nunez]

Sophie Conway - what a gun. Will be a top 5 AFLW player in the next year or so.

 

[Gadzorks]

What a brilliant quarter of footy. Candy being sold everywhere.

Don’t ease up or slow girls - nail this game and put your stamp on the competition

 

[Caiphus]

The skills have definitely improved considerably this year. I was worried about the dilution of talent with the expansion but it's good to see that the quality of play is on the up.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Lol that free against Koenen was the ultimate home crowd special.
