s**t

I think this female umpire is a closet Saints fan. Plucking frees out of her butt.

Short kicks working a treat again...

 

[winty]

Ran a fair way then too.

As is the commentary - noticed the Saints gal that went to ground but ignored Webster getting a push in the same passage of play

Higgins is on fire early.

Rocky and McWilliams playing kick to kick!

Problem is the Saints flooding back - not sure too many teams in the womens comp do that

 

[cats_09]

Higgins is on fire early.

And Garner was getting involved in a bit before also

 

[winty]

Better quarter. Just couldn't put it on the scoreboard.

[patience]

Should have had a goal out of all of that.

Happy to see the likes of Higgins, McWilliams & Cranston in that

And agree we were better that quarter - just need to find a way of actually getting it through the big sticks

Would like to have seen Higgins go back & have a shot rather than laying it off & not hit McWilliams with the pass

Boyd had a bit more time with that late snap also

Other than the North game when we just weren't in it, it feels like almost games where we just need one or 2 things to go right

 

[cats_09]

No holding the ball against Patrikios when she dropped the ball before picking it back up and dropping it again?

 

[winty]

So you handball and get tackled it's holding the ball, but if you take on two tacklers and just hold onto the ball without even trying to dispose of it, it's a ball up? Hmm, OK.

 

[patience]

Love Barber.

 

[cats_09]

Cranston having her best game for the season - and biggest change from recent weeks is she's been more willing to throw her weight around & not scared to hit a pack or player standing in front of her

 

[cats_09]

"umpires hot on holding the ball" - they've done a good job ignoring it tonight

 

[winty]

High contact, in the back? No, holding the ball. FFS.

 

[cats_09]

One kick to a teammate now constitutes a passage of player

 

[cats_09]

Really liking Garner tonight - didn't notice her too much last week but she was on debut

Looks more settled tonight

[cats_09]

Phew, no damage done

 

[winty]

Leading possession getters to 1/2 time:

Purcell 13
Webster 12
M.McDonald 9
McMahon 7
A.McDonald 7
Crockett-Grills 7
Cranston 6

 

[cats_09]

Higgins & McWilliams quieter that quarter - need more from our senior players
