2020 AFLW R1 vs WC (Sun 9 Feb 1.10pm @ VICTORIA PARK) - 'pies open 2020 with a win! Coll 5.8 38 WC 1.5 8

[TradeDraft]

They do. Twice a week I think.

I did not know that

I did not know that

Yeah I remember last vflw season there was the times on the website, and I also saw them the other night. Tuesday I think it was.

 

[Vicky Park]

Game day.

Fourth AFLW season. Please let us start this one with a win.

Also our first ever round 1 at Vic Park, so what's not to like? Gotta be better than playing Carlton 'at home' at Princes Park, as we did in round 1 2017.

Let's go girls. Build on our VFLW success.

Ins and outs from our win against BL at VicPark in R7 last season.

Of the outs only Guttridge isn't on our 2020 list, which makes a welcome change even if we've also lost to other sides Ross (signed by Rich), Whitford (drafted by Rich) and Kuys (StKilda delisted free agent) who weren't selected in that win. We re-drafted Membrey after delisting her, so who knows if the same was being considered for Whitford.

In: 2. Molloy, 3. Davey, 9. Porter, 14. Sheridan, 15. Fowler, 24. Alexander, 21. Membrey, 24. Alexander
Out: 5. Grant (inj.), 11. Hynes, 16. Lynch, 18. Schleicher (inj.), 32. Gourlay, 34. Guttridge (StKilda AFLW), 41. Stratton

Pretty good INS. I feel like we have a stronger team this year compared to last.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I've decided to go today and support the team. If we're serious then this should be a comfortable win that gives us a nice percentage to start the year. But I am nervous about how well we'll convert chances into goals.

 

[barrackers]

Nice day for footy. A few in the ground already, I got mistaken for an official as I walked past. Not sure what role they thought I had?

I was in two minds, but a new year hopefully brings improved performances. I’d take a win and a clear game plan today.

Just got here. Wow! This is the most effort I’ve seen yet from the club, for an AFLW game. Food trucks, music pumping, lots of club officials, bouncing something (castle), merch stall, and the crowd is building. Well done to the club.

West Coast girls are warming up in front of me. Geez, they’ve got some big girls. The word ‘intimidating’ comes to mind. I hope that’s not the case.

Davey, Lambert, Bonnici and Layton in our engine room. Plenty of go right there at the coal face where it matters. We've always done the physical stuff well. I hope we can get some skill to mix in with Brazill, Molloy, D'Arcy and Allen so we can create scoring opportunities too.

Pies room back under the Ryder Stand, they (& our VFL side) and recently used the Sherrin Stand.

We got federal funding to update the women’s facilities. $2m I think - and NOT part of the recent Sports Rort Program! Must have used it on the old senior team change rooms under the Ryder.

Eagles banner did a Collingwood 2018 GF banner reenactment

 

[Mkcaptain]

The Eagles new song is a monstrosity

 

[Soups]

Go girls!

The new WC song is terrible.

 

[Vicky Park]

It’s all happening here! The Weagles banner ripped apart.

Fantastic crowd, real buzz

 

[Vicky Park]

Now I’ve seen everything. Dunn, IQ and Tohill are sitting with the cheer squad. They’ve been collecting for the bush fires.

 

[Soups]

Wind isn’t helping us at all. WC has set up a lot better though and have been tougher at the ball.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Vile first quarter.

 

[barrackers]

Still lacking forward structure, hopefully just a symptom of putting numbers behind to restrict scoring with WC having a 3 goal breeze. I like that we’re running the footy more.

Good call, WC making their tackles stick and hurt including dumping players late.

A nice change simply because I don’t have to hear the 2018 version.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Good to see Bonnici is alright
