Or stupid.

Brave in the Sir Humphrey Appleby usage.

Looking back, they only kicked a behind in their last quarter in Rd 1. So 0.4 points in 8 quarters now.

Ooohhh ouch. They must be feeling like the 2001 Freo fellas going to play Essendon in Melbourne.

Houghton, O'Sullivan, Sharp, E Antonio, Gooch, Cutherton, and Stannett all cross coders.

Is it time for us to target a cross coder?

Go you good things! I dream of the day I can proudly display an "AFLW Premiers" sticker on the rear window of my car. I've thrown up all over my passenger's seat enough times having to witness lame "Wet Toast Eagles PREM18RS" monstrosities! It's our time!

West coast doing is a favour at the moment. On front of Brisbane

Well, that didn’t last very long.

Just when you want some eagle-umpiring, they really are getting the rough end of the pineapple.

Even shorter on the TAB. Just took 21s for Hayden Young in the Rising Star. Confident of my second successive collect.

Not for one second.

No need to waste that negative energy now. Brisbane will have 1000% by the end of this train wreck

OK - 500... but pretty close.

Heh, at least their percentage dropped 275 points. Richmond, Geelong, GC, WC - what a lovely run

They play Adelaide next week... at home.... They're desperate to give the Lions a premiership one way or another huh? Tried with the boys last year, still couldn't win it even staying at home all season.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Still undefeated and now in second.

I expect Brisbane and Collingwood to fall back into the pack when they get some tougher fixtures.

The Roar

Why Fremantle's style is built for AFLW success

It took a five-goal demolition of fellow premiership contender Adelaide to confirm that the Fremantle Dockers are a legitimate threat for the AFLW flag…

great article.

Off Broadway media give us the respect.

I glad that the main media keep up the disrespect.

Liked the article overall. Although I don't really think the gamestyle is much like Richmond's men's gamestyle, other than prioritising forward momentum of the ball.

Freo have a much higher kick to handball ratio than Hardwicks' team and probably favouring longer kicks too wherever possible.

I also think the claim that they're eschewing (strangely satisfying weird word alert) disposal efficiency is a bit of a stretch (although I'd say with the developmental stage the AFLW is at, you get a lot more leeway for clangers as for every clanger you make, a return clanger from the opposition isn't too far away). On Sunday Freo had less disposal etc, yet were more effective, that suggest better disposal efficiency.

On Sunday Freo had less disposal etc, yet were more effective, that suggest better disposal efficiency.

The commentators made frequent mention of kicking errors, poor disposal, etc., from which a less than keen observer would conclude that the game as a whole was defined by poor kicking efficiency. Most of those comments, however, were made in response to Adelaide errors (in keeping with the higher ratio of talk about Adelaide to talk about Freo throughout the game).

Even so, I've seen comments even on this board suggesting that the Freo side's skills are poor. Personally, outside of kicks that don't go the distance, I reckon the skills have been pretty good. The derby in the wet was a write off, but otherwise uncontested marks have been held and unpressured kicks have hit targets.

Bowers been sighted by the MRO for her tackle, $400 for early plea.

That’s an okay outcome imo. She pinned her arm and Hatchard’s head hit the ground. Hatchard also cited for her hit on Cuthbertson.
