Game Day AFLW Round 7, 2025: West Coast vs GWS Giants

[RookiePick]

20.scoring shots. Not bad.

Daisy is doing an amazing job with this group.

 

[FatPizza]

I don't watch much footy on TV (including men's) but tuned it for the second half.

Well done girls!

 

[NeedForTheReids]

looking ahead to next week… pies at home. Another chance for more percentage boost. Hopefully some more players back too!! Terrific win to hold strong

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Massive. Well done, girls.

Those next four games look murderous though..Pies, Crows, Cats and Swans.

 

[Mr Eagle]

I thought the only change to the club song for the women was replacing Kings with Queens?

Sounded awfully butchered at the end of that broadcast.

There’s been a weird record scratch thing all year. I assumed they were cutting through Kings and going to re-record it eventually but they’ve just kept it? It sounds like an absolute mess.

 

[Biggie]

Fantastic win ladies, great to see the fight after they gained momentum

Bring on the pies

Pies the only non murderous one. That’s why we gotta bank the percentage when we can

 

[AlphaSheep]

Best thing was the productivity out of Franklin and Lackfer. With those two firing, we actually look like we have a forward line.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Pies first trip out of Melbourne all season comes in Round 8. Must be nice.

Rest up, bring back Painter, Dalgleish, Roux, Drennan, get to work.

 

[kird]

Roberts and Rowley both off leaving a midfield grouping of BSmith, Kavagnah and possibly even the top up (didn’t see the third person) is really opening the door here.

Kavanagh hardly played!

I watched the Crows-Swans game as well, one of the best AFLW games I ever saw, better than a lot of men's games. We're a chance against Pies and Cats, but I'm not optimistic about the other two.

 

[UseR2006]

Kavanagh hardly played!

Likely ill and only played as we needed the numbers. Wasn't initially in the squad.
Played the same % as the Topup.

 

[WCE777]

Only watched parts of the game but you can see the growth in the players footy IQ and game plan implemented by Daisy.
Well done on a good win.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Pies the only non murderous one. That’s why we gotta bank the percentage when we can

Swans have lost to GWS and Collingwood.

Only one I’d say we will almost definitely lose is against Adelaide, and even they don’t look as they’ve been for the last few years.

Geelong are behind us on the ladder. Their schedule has been tough, but their only wins have been over Richmond, Essendon and over Port by a whisker. Playing in Leedy we should be favourites.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I don't think that illness is quite done yet, listen to this, someone's coughing up a lung out there

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Carlton and Geelong games both being in Perth is enormous.

As it stands we’ll surely need to win seven games to play finals. Beat the Pies, then handle two of Swans/Cats/Blues. Will be bloody tough, but we’ll have earned it if we do.



Carlton are just good. Will take some beating. Good news is they play Geelong, Sydney, St Kilda and us on the way home so could help spoil it for our challengers.

Swans starting to slide results wise and have used up all of their easy games.

Brisbane, too good to slide out.

St Kilda a real mixed bag week to week, just pulled off the greatest Q4 comeback in W history to steal one over Port who are ultimately a much more dangerous side. Easy fixture to come outside of the baked in thumping to North. Might be a fixture finalist that gets humiliated week one?

Cats have kicked into gear after a bizarrely slow start, will be very tough.

That last kick of the game loss to Essendon is so massive, because their worst has been deplorable. Won’t figure.

Freo finding some mojo but likely too hard of a fixture (Hawks, Demons and Crows all to come) to push past 20 points.

Port brutal fixture so are essentially gone despite being dangerous.

But she’s not a top up. Not even being given a chance. Would like to see more. Would only be fair

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Overall I would rate the following games as:
Vs Collingwood: definitely should win
adelaide: very likely loss
Vs Geelong: tough match but slight favourites if close to full strength
@ Sydney: probable loss, maybe 25% chance to win
vs Carlton: another good team but they have only been solid (4 of their 5 wins over bottom 6 sides) so we should be right in this one.


Time to stop thinking of home matches against the likes of Geelong and Carlton as a murderous schedule. That’s loser talk.

Beat the Pies and win 1 of the last 4 we are a chance at finals; beat the Pies and win two more and we play finals. Let’s go.

Freo’s fixture is brutal too. Brisbane, North, Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton, Melbourne, Adelaide. The teams they miss this year: St Kilda, Geelong, Bulldogs, Collingwood, Gold Coast. All currently outside the top 8.

Too bad, so sad.

Until everyone plays eachother once, who you get scheduled to play does so much heavy lifting.

The sooner we get there the better.

 

[Ochre]

Gotta beat the Pies before we worry about the rest. As bad as they were in Friday, had been good the month before.

I liked her second quarter, she did some really smart things, but it’s not really about fair at this level. She was included in the team an hour before the game, neither she or Steane were ever really in line to get huge minutes.

Explain to me how a top up player gets the same opportunities as a first round draft pick. Not sure why the club brings players in if they aren’t going to find out what they are made of. Shown more than enough to get more opportunity. There are several others getting a game on apparent good will. And by the way most culture are built on fairness concepts. West coast as a whole has an awful culture. Maybe they should think about fair a tad more…?
