Game Day AFLW Round 5, 2025: West Coast vs Fremantle

[Ochre]

Big blow in this weather

 

[Barrybran]

Gone. Nice tackle Ella.

The Barrel

 

[Barrybran]

How smart is that? Brilliant!

 

[Ochre]

Just when you think you couldn't love Ella more.

 

[Livin1989]

Wtf, htb?!

 

[DorothyG]

Is this Freos home ground?

Pretty disgraceful surface. Should be called out

 

[Livin1989]

Putrid umpiring

It is

 

[Barrybran]

I don't think the girls did too badly that quarter. We're ineffective going inside 50 though.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Need to even up their spare, too easy for Freo when it hits the deck inside 50.

11-4 inside 50s without much actual threat. Surprised Dalgliesh didn’t take that one cleanly after the Roberts barrel.

 

[Ochre]

Our bad conversion and Freo chucking numbers back is a very ugly combo.

 

[garlic munchers]

Putrid umpiring

Putrid fwd line structure, completely sucked up the ground past where the ball is landing and then Freo sweepers just cleaning up.

That’s on the coaching.

 

[UseR2006]

On the positive side, only 6 points in it and we haven't been good starters this year anyway.
Girls should adjust from here.

Losing McGrath could be a blessing, one less tall, still have rucks in the team to do the ruck work.
Hopefully it's just a roll though and jabbed/strapped and back out there at least for the CBDs.

That barrel from Ella though!

 

[Livin1989]

They are playing 1 behind the ball and making it very difficult for our forward line..... We are going to have to adjust and play in front in these conditions if we want to mitigate the way they're setting up. I fear we might not have the ability to tweak the way we play to suit conditions. Hopefully I'm wrong and they have the adaptability

Is this Freos home ground?

Pretty disgraceful surface. Should be called out

I love the lumps of sand around the centre square as if some toddlers were playing 5 minutes before the bounce.

 

[Barrybran]

Far out. Terrible call to begin with.

 

[Livin1989]

God we are looking pedestrian today

 

[Barrybran]

Far out. These umpires are having a nightmare. Miss in the back on Painter, pay the high on Western, call holding the ball on Lewis when it's not there.

 

[RookiePick]

Freo just look stronger. Great bump on Swanson

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Dalgliesh is so ****ing good.

 

[Barrybran]

Stupid handball

 

[squashface]

Dalgliesh is so ****ing good.

Should have converted that shot though

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Get absolutely ****ed umpire.

 

[squashface]

Where tf was her prior, umpire you shithead
