AFLW 2023 Round 1 v Collingwood, Friday 1 September @Ikon Park

[Dory_77]

What's this, a chance to beat Collingwood twice within a week?!

Yes, AFLW is back, with us (finally) the reigning premiers. No more Daisy, although she's back to unfurl the flag this week. Hard to measure how much her absence affects us. She wasn't a star in her last year but had a cool head for some important moments in finals.

Watched our praccy v Hawthorn and we did them comfortably, although we're pretty scrappy and wasteful along the way. Should win here, although I'd expect it to be close. A lot riding on how well Davey, Bonnici return from ACLs for the Pies.

Good to see Eliza Mac back too .

 

[stEdy]

I'll be there - keen to see the gals!

Team for tomorrow:


Great to see McNamara back. Campbell in is a bit surprising. The AFLW site forgot she debuted last year, but fair enough she had one touch for the day.

Also has Paxman legit changed her name to Paxy?

 

[Supermercado]

M, F, or Other, the biggest vulnerability we have is not getting a big enough score to cover the good work of the defenders. Here's to Campbell as second ruck freeing up Harris to kick goals.

Also enjoying Paxman's rebrand. Why come up with an entirely new first name when you can just sub in the nickname and carry on as normal.

 

[Headless]

Will be close IMO.

 

[Headless]

All over them for no reward so far. Paxman everywhere.

 

[Headless]

Should be up by several goals IMO. Down 10-12, though.

 

[jhong]

Pies kicked straight, we didn’t .

 

[jhong]

Be ace if someone held a mark

 

[Headless]

Pies kicked straight, we didn’t .

Collingwood has looked better this quarter, too. Need to get one back soon.

 

[Headless]

Davey is putting on a clinic.

 

[jhong]

We are being outplayed here .

 

[PerfectFooty]

Collingwoods players look they have bigger bodies than ours, breaking tackles and making them stick when it's their turn

 

[Headless]

Very handy from Campbell. Needed that.

 

[jhong]

Seriously nail a tackle pls .

 

[PerfectFooty]

I'm glad we threw someone onto Davey but Heath isn't it, Davey is to strong for her

 

[Dory_77]

Good start to the half

 

[Cold Sober]

Amazing standard of football.

 

[jhong]

Makin has been good

 

[Dory_77]

Some silly decisions and errors giving them chances

 

[Headless]

4.9 is a bit of an ooft.

 

[Dory_77]

4.9 is a bit of an ooft.

Zanker a couple of frustrating misses. Doing a lot right otherwise

 

[Headless]

5.9 is slightly less of an ooft.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Hore really stepped up, leading from the front
