Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
When I was talking to a few of the girls yesterday, they said they love the heat.This is the first time the GWS women's team will have faced us in Queensland. Here are their previous results in QLD:
R4 2017 - Brisbane 6.7 (43) def. GWS 1.3 (9)
R1 2019 - Brisbane 4.5 (29) def. GWS 4.3 (27)
R4 2020 - Brisbane 7.9 (51) def. GWS 3.5 (23)
So the GWS AFLW team has never won a match in Queensland and were belted in two of those three matches against the Lions. I think it's probably fair to say the heat/humidity has been an issue for GWS when playing in Queensland when you consider their performances in the second half of each of those matches: 2017 - kicked 1 goal/2 behinds and conceded 5 goals/0 behinds in the second half, 2019 - kicked 2 goals/0 behinds and conceded 3 goals/3 behinds in the second half, 2020 - kicked 1 goal/0 behinds and conceded 3 goals/4 behinds in the second half.
I hope our girls keep this in mind today and are ready to really push the Giants in the second half as they tire in the challenging conditions. We should absolutely be using the weather to our advantage and it shouldn't be too much of a shock to the system for our girls given it's been very humid here lately as well. The only question mark is whether our young players will also struggle in the conditions but I'd like to think we're more suited to the conditions than the GWS players.
Let's go!
Yeah agree with all this.Saw the first and fourth quarters and didn't see much improvement. Virtually no outside game, all inside. Managed to get some goals in the first through some free-kicks, but by and large, hammered in clearances which put us on the back foot.
No ability to clear out of defence. Continual long bombs hoping for a miracle. Couple of good individual plays from some players, but that's it.
Comfortably still one of the worst sides in the league, unfortunately. Hard to see what the game plan even is when we have possession. Skills don't look any good at all.
Yeah agree with all this.
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't win a game again this year.
