AFLW Prelim Final: Crows vs Cats, Sunday 24 March @ 1:10pm, AO

[Turbocat]

Not unexpected though...

1st year...

List is old at one end and young at the other and not much in the middle.

Old gets tired and younger aint big enough yet. Seen this movie before.

Does not end well. Didnt this time either.

GO Catters

The inability to score..not being beaten. Beaten is no problem...but not being able to score make everything almost pointless.. it means its only a matter of margin

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Mel Hickey doesnt give enough as a leader....I suspect her appointment had more to do with her Surname than her leadership qualities.

 

[winty]

Haven't scored a goal in our last 9 quarters? Err, we did kick a goal last week you muppets.

 

[Drunkcat]

What have we kicked 4 goals in last 3 games?

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Just feel like if we can get the next goal, we are in with a sniff!

 

[Micksy]

This could be the lowest AFL/AFLW score ever. With no chance of the record being broken.

 

[winty]

Another nice shepherd by the umpire there. Get out of the way you campaigner.

 

[Drunkcat]

Like watching us in prel final vs Adel couple of years ago

I like Paul Hood's response to our girls finding themselves playing a final next week:

Plenty being made about our 3-4 record and struggles with scoring, but no one has mentioned that we still have the comp's 2nd best defensive record.

I'm with Hood; for mine we take the opportunity to learn from 1 more game in season 2019; might get ugly, but at least we'll be under no illusions as to what will be required to improve in 2020.

Now, who do we nominate to run in off the square at the first bounce to clean up Phillips?? I'd be tapping Darby on the shoulder

Maybe Boyd, because that way she could be involved in the game

ooh, that's cold C9

Serious sub-question; would you consider dropping one of Darby, Boyd or McWilliams for the PF (possibly for more run)?

I stand by my comments from earlier in the week - we didn't get enough from Boyd, and maybe she did need to do something like throw her weight around early in the match to get herself involved

This is exactly what was on the cards when the best team in the league meets a team who is average at best and really shouldn't be near the finals.

Disappointing for the girls but not overly surprising

 

[cats_09]

It can't be holding the ball when the player never actually has possession of the ball

 

[Cursed Cat]

Hoare forced to do the small forward's work

 

[winty]

Yay! We're gonna score!

 

[Cursed Cat]

thank christ we won't finish on 0

 

[Micksy]

Booooo!

 

[cats_09]

We didn't deserve to be goalless, glad to see hard work pay off and get a goal

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Well that has saved a certain degree of embarrassment

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Not a surprise when we finally are able to get some repeat inside 50s and score a goal it's Mel Hickey whose generating those.
She's going to be a fine player.

 

[Cursed Cat]

C'mon Webster, she can dob this.

close ..

 

[cats_09]

Yay! We're gonna score!

I liked the commentator - "looks like Geelong will have a chance to kick their first score" in an extremely condescending tone

we are kicking from the top of the goal square, would have been pissed off if it was anything less than a goal

 

[winty]

Would piss myself laughing if we asked for a head-count with 15 seconds to go, Adelaide are found with too many players on the ground and had their score wiped.

 

[Micksy]

Booooo!

 

[cats_09]

Would piss myself laughing if we asked for a head-count with 15 seconds to go, Adelaide are found with too many players on the ground and had their score wiped.

Look for a quick free kick, 50m penalty followed by some other dodgy decision to give the Crows 2 goals in 10 seconds

 

[Micksy]

Dead on their feet.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Not sure why Hood opted to let Marinoff run around loose; I'd have given Garing the job on her and I reckon Garing would've done ok.
