Legends

 

[Lore]

They’ve re-recorded the club song with female singers and “our girls”! About time!

 

[ant555]

They have a fair bit of footy smarts. Sometimes what they are trying to do exceed their ability to execute.
Like the fact they are a never give in side . Second and third efforts all day .

 

[Lore]

Hopefully they put up a replay so we can get some clips of it lol, but they gave away a free and then got stuck in and Frew tried to intervene and got shoved, face planted a metre away, then hopped straight back up and into it while Nat Mac kicked the first goal and then the ump gave her another 50m shot from the goal square

One of the reasons I'm a bit iffy on Major not getting the AFL gig. They just get to the right spots and it makes their high pressure seem effortless. The effort all being early to set up right. They wear opponents down and just play from bell to bell.

This game was supposed to be much closer, hawks would've fancied themselves after their fast finish in the previous draw. A bit of 2000 AFL QF feel about it, "Okay, so you think you can challenge..." which also speaks to the attitude of the group. Hopefully the rest of the finals plays out that way.

I think he’s got a director of coaching gig with the AFLW and VFLW teams, and I don’t think we know who our assistant coaches will be yet.

Nat Wood is apparently the reason why we’ve picked up some of the players we have though (they want to play under her again like they did at the Dogs). Plus there are incentives with the coaching pathway program as well. So I can see why they went that way.

I hope that she builds on what we already have here though since half our players are already familiar with how we play and our ethos.

Might be we bring Major across to our men’s coaching panel too (either level) which could be of some benefit.

Yeah, it's great the players who are going to step up from or have already been through our VFLW program. Seems a great culture.

great pic, wouldn't see me taking any of them on

 

[Harlequin]

Thanks for the updates all.

Flown the flag all year. "This day and age, free-kicks are given away so quickly" Jam it, Dyson.

Through to the major semi-final next week, where we will be playing against the Casey Demons at Windy Hill.



Casey were originally ranked third after the H&A season. We beat them in a close one three weeks ago in Round 14, 4.3 27 to 2.9 21, so I hope we've learned from that to make sure we beat them more thoroughly this time!

If we win this, we're straight through to the grand final, while the loser plays in the prelim against the winner of the other semi (Hawthorn vs Southern Saints) – so if we lose we may well face Hawthorn again hah.

VFLW Bombers inch closer to GF with huge win

Essendon is one win away from a maiden VFLW Grand Final berth.
