Game Day AFLW Round 6, 2025: West Coast vs Melbourne

[HoneyBadger35]

Roberts massively dumped, umpire please, that’s borderline reportable.

Elite clearance in the wrong direction by Kavanagh tbf

 

[bUCKET__]

These umps are ****ed as usual

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Just can’t get a handle on it in the midfield. We know we’re miles off that top tier group, Melbourne looking the best of the non-North elite clubs, good day for learning a bit from them.

Hoping someone lifts to go with Roberts so she doesn’t have to break two or three tackles every time, need her cherry ripe for the Pies/GWS fixtures coming up.

[Barrybran]

Who on earth was that to?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Couple of nice moments from Johnson here.

Commentary again going with Dentsch for Jess Rentsch.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Trying to work out my favourite moment from that half.

It’s a toss up between Kavanagh kicking it the wrong way out of centre clearance, or a kick from the goal square landing back in the goal square and being paid a mark.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Glad that family commitments are forcing me to miss this one. Seen enough of these beltings from the men’s side this year.

Must be an immensely frustrating experience to be an AFLW player having to be umpired by these absolute crabs

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Zero bearing cause we’re hopelessly out classed, but do these pricks with the whistle actually know the rules.

Go play on a windy mud pit and also the rules change moment to moment, seemingly depending on if you’re the home side or not.

 

[bUCKET__]

Different standard entirely, it's a chook raffle to get a free for being held onto this arvo

 

[UseR2006]

Just a step too far. Also letting ourselves down badly here.
Hope Daisy gives them all a bake.
This kind of performance is unacceptable.

 

[squashface]

Oh boy, Charlie

You’d want to lay down a marker that gets the team to a point where this is unacceptable, but honestly with the way the W is so massively tiered and the gulf between the North/next tier/the rest, I find it very difficult to be moved by this with where we’re at in our journey.

Need to close the gap over time, sure, but Melbourne on the road or North anywhere on planet earth…meh. Not like they’re not having a crack, they’re just massively outgunned. +20 in tackles, +4 in tackles inside 50 despite being doubled up for i50s. Working hard, just not nearly enough talent to take on the top sides, which we know.

Freo lost to North 114-14 and then beat us in a tussle, the gulf between the haves and have nots is way too big to draw conclusions from games like this.

Coming up against a bigger stronger midfield I really stop believing that Rowley is gunna make it as a mid.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Getting flogged. Can't take an overhead mark to save ourselves. Not reading the wind. Dees a class above

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Great shepherd from BSmith, finally someone gives Roberts some protection and Lo and behold it’s a goal.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Dalgleish so good.

 

[bUCKET__]

daggggerssss, get around her

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Here we come! Worried we might have left it a little late though.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

If we swing the axe, do you reckon we bring in the one with Glandular Fever or the one on crutches from the extended bench?

Might be time for Norah Long and Lucia Grego to have a run

 

[bUCKET__]

Well fought out in the last quarter

 

[squashface]

Dalgleish is such a gun. Reminds me of debut season Noah Long (when he was actually good)
