AFLW West Coast v Gold Coast, Mineral Resources Park, 2.10pm AWST

[Biggie]

Well we can put last weeks debacle behind us and look forward to taking on a fellow expansion team in our state, on the very ground the girls train on.

A few changes have occurred, I do hop illness isn't something more.....

WEST COAST

B: S.McDonald 35 C.Perera 27
HB: C.Davidson 33 B.Smith 14 C.Guard 4
C: M.Bowen 1 N.Kelly 12 K.Gibson 2
HF: M.Collier 8 G.Kelly 15 I.Cameron 19
F: A.Atkins 9 M.Carter 21
Foll: P.Laurie 25 D.Hooker 17 E.Swanson - C 13
I/C: T.Tester 23 E.McGuire 31 H.Bullas 24 K.Orme 32 B.Devlyn 7 D.Pisconeri 11 T.Radan 26

In: C.Perera, M.Carter, T.Tester, K.Orme, D.Pisconeri
Out: M.Caulfield (Managed), M.Dowrick (Illness), E.Bonser (Illness)

Rugby convert Mhicca Carter has come into the team for her debut as a forward and we welcome back Chantella Perera to our backline

Even though we got smashed every which way last week, I am actually confident we an bounce back and get another 4 points for this week.

GCS have been competitive all season, look out for #23 Kalinda Howarth - the girl can football!

I'll be there with the daughters, hopefully the weather stays away (forecast looks poor!)

C'mon down and get behind the Eagle girls!

[Eaglemaniac]

Not sure how McGuire is still in the team but I’m glad they brought back Korme and Perera at least. It’s expected to be wet and crappy weather so it will come down to who wants it more.

Nope

 

[Biggie]

 

[ZergMinion]

Today is probably our big chance to avoid the spoon, though Richmond's form implies we may already be safe.

Could even be a chance to get off the bottom of the group given the Doggies have Freo, North and GWS as their last 3 matches

 

[Biggie]

A small mobile player out for a big

 

[Biggie]

Playing jumper looks amazing

 

[TY24]

Playing jumper looks amazing

Was just thinking that; girls in full royal wings is a sight to behold.

 

[TY24]

I’m glad Fox brought out their finest potato to broadcast this match with.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Any chance we can go a quarter without a player needlessly kicking into the woman on the mark?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

GC all over WCE early.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

GC get the first. They ought to be 3 goals up.

 

[Biggie]

Sigh

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Pisconeri out on the full from 20m out. Gee, glad she's back...showed nothing at the start of the season.

 

[TY24]

Pisconeri just isn’t a footballer I’m afraid

 

[DanWCE]

Oooooof, that set shot

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Our skills really poor today.

Gibson has been involved at Laurie is class, though.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

****ing lol. Who's 21? Zero awareness.

Carter I think.

 

[DanWCE]

**** mooiii

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Atkins and McGuire sit back and wait for the other to get the ball...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Where is Perera's class today? Several poor pieces of play.

 

[Biggie]

Frustrating

 

[Biggie]

****ing lol. Who's 21? Zero awareness.

Carter I think.

Yes Mhicca Carter debut

She has some toe but lacks polish

Gibson can be so much better than that with on goal effort, she seems to be so rushed.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Carter moves well, hopefully she can add some football nous to that.

Surely we have somebody better than Orme and Pisco to bring in?

Gibbo involved but really burned our best chance to set up a goal with options running towards goal.

Niamh attacking it hard and Laurie classy.
