Game Day AFLW Rd 8: vs Fremantle, Thurs 2nd Oct 7:15pm, Kinetic Frankston

[streetspirit]

Back on home turf against the Dockers this Thursday night.

Bates will be sidelined for this one (and likely a fair bit of time after) given her shoulder injury in the dying minutes of the GMHBA game against the cats.

Bates sidelined

Emily Bates will face an extended period on the sidelines after suffering an injury.

Only 12 days since Emily Everist's concussion against the Pies, so imagine she's touch and go whether that is long enough to return.

 

[Aristarchus]

Bates out is going to be tough, bit irreplaceable but it's a chance to put Stone in the guts and get her experience.

Anyone familiar with
"sternoclavicular joint injuries"? and how long they take?

 

[streetspirit]

Flockart to debut and Everist named right to go in the injury report, so at least one additional change beyond Bates

Flockart to debut

Daisy Flockart will make her debut on Thursday night against Fremantle.

Just checked into a hotel in downtown Franga taking my daughter to her first W game, see you there unless you of course blow away! It’s blowing an absolute gale up here won’t be a fun night to play…

 

[Fleabane]

Broadcast on Fox tonight. Made a nice bolognese and will settle down to watch the game. Go Hawks!

 

[PenAndPaper]

We've been a bit disjointed moving forward this game, especially when having the wind in Q1.
Really need Gilroy to lift but Stone has been very solid so far for me.

Also I think we should be playing Symonds every week, she is in our best side.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Umpires absolutely favouring us, some of these holding the ball decisions have been ridiculous

 

[Rimsy]

Ripper first goal in the AFLW for hayley Mclaughlin

 

[CobberRodgers]

That one we just kicked the goal from the boundary from was all time ridiculous

 

[StackedHunch]

Listening to Underwood commentary is tougher than kicking into this breeze.

 

[Aristarchus]

Worried we don't have enough going into the last quarter. We got out of jail on that point with an open goal.

 

[CobberRodgers]

Why no shot after the siren with no one near the goal square????

 

[Rimsy]

Really needed that one, great work by Aine to get it onto the boot.

Fair old kick from Gilroy into that wind.

 

[Rimsy]

Ripper tackle by gilroy, pity the kick went awry

 

[Rimsy]

Holding the ball calls all night have been questionable. They'res been some doozies both ways.

 

[Rimsy]

Girls defended fantastically in the last, went into that one a bit worried. Shouldnt have been. Stood up when it mattered.

Wales has had another huge game against another well regarded ruck, good work Lucy.

Great team effort all around, glad to walk away with another win.

 

[The hands of stone]

Nice work again by ladies !

 

[Aristarchus]

Where there is Hawks, there's a way. So impressive they are only one loss down. Can't call it luck of the Irish when they both step up at key moments every game.

Wales is immense. She's clearly in AA form this season being able to compete with Strom now.but if she keeps improving? Will become the undisputable top ruck of the comp.

Good signs from Flockhart on debut too through the midfield. Also Stone stepping up (her tackling!) will help when the midfield era is hers and Flem opposed to the now being Bates and West (Wales being pivotal transcends both).

Stone is just about ready to explode I think. Having Bates out may actually be a blessing in disguise with giving her more midfield time. She could be a genuine star!

Even the loss we had against Adelaide, we were in it for most of that game and just made a few uncharacteristic errors. To be 7-1 with the injuries we have had to key players all year like Kemp, Gilroy, Kashy, Allen, Hipwell and now Bates is quite insane when you think about.

 

[dixyland]

The second year players have really started to step up. Stone is obviously a star in the making, and Williamson and McLaughlin have been really good, with both kicking crackers of goals in the past two matches.

 

[streetspirit]

McLaughlin is an absolute terrier, love her endeavour to crack in.

Vukic is also good at throwing her size around and smacking around the oppo

The back line is probably the story of the season. Cobbled together, undersized but holding firm no matter how scrappy. When you consider Allen and Kemp are likely best team players it's rather remarkable how they would all play if available. And hasn't the backline coach changed from last season too? So kept being this good.

The depth I think is indication the off season will be a weird one whatever happens in finals because with 3 mandatory changes could see likes of Sherriff/Stratton moved on or the first year players (unless they get a minimum 2 years now?).

Ask Will Day
Hope it isn’t as bad or long term as his
