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

[HoneyBadger35]

Pretty comprehensively outplayed by Freo all day today which is very disappointing.

Backwards step today.

Were we? +10 inside 50s. +3 centre clearances. Strom BOG last time with 50 odd hitouts, we took the hitouts today 30-19.

They have a few players around the ball who are bigger and cleaner, which made a lot of difference in a mud pit scrap. But we owned territory and momentum for big chunks, they had their turns with it too…surely was no worse than a pretty even game in trying conditions.

Another game where we dominate inside 50s and can't do enough with it, immensely frustrating

 

[Rids]

Frustrating game. Think on a day with better conditions we get them - dominated inside 50s but just didn’t have the smarts in the wet to turn it into scores in the wet.

Guns were very good - Ella Roberts outstanding, Charlie Thomas and Bella Lewis solid.

Missed McGrath in the ruck after her injury (although Lakay tried her heart out but Strom just so much cleaner).

Disappointed with discipline of Zoe Wakfer - I rate her as a player so hopefully she learns from today.

Looking forward to seeing how we go against a genuine top side against the Dees next week - I suspect (hope!) we’re not far off the pace.

 

[Matele]

Our forward entries at the best of times have been diabolical all season. It’s 25/75 to whether there will be a mark and a shot on goal, or it comes right back out and slingshots across the ground. A frustrating part of our game and the poor weather exacerbated it today.

 

[UseR2006]

Also, In previous matches it felt like the Purps bullied us, I didn't feel like that today.
We went toe to toe with them effort and intent wise.

Just a bit of personnel, experience and weather were the difference today.
Proud they didn't take any shit when the Docker girls were being campaigners.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Blew it.

The cup looks like they brought Generic Trophy #1 of temu

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Conditions were horrible so it was literally anyones game, watching the WAFL prelim I thought whoever gets to 3 goals will most likely be the winner in the Derby.

Really gotta do something about these first halves though, averaging like 0.0005 goals a half through the first 5 weeks of the season.

Today is the day folks

Today is the day.

Just finished the watch on delay

Today was not the day

I don't really think we ever looked like winning and Freo played to the conditions way better than we did.

Your list is better placed than ours and you’ll probably win 8 in a row once you break through.
But as long as Cowan and Gibson are at WC, our team will find a way to win.
