Will we go unchanged? Did the switching a back (B. Smith) for a forward (L. Hamilton) work? Seemingly no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

 

[Ticky009]

A real challenge for sure. But its good for the team to play against the best and see how we measure up.

I think the switch worked Callipygian but we'll find out soon enough tomorrow night when the teams announced.

 

[SwansProudly]

[Aardvark]

Looking forward to Gardiner, Molloy, Ham and Morphett in the midfield. I hope our forwards are ready! Should be a cracking game.

[Callipygian]

Exciting! Looks like Bella Smith has been recalled and while Lexi Hamilton has been retained, so we'll go in a bit taller. I expect Ham and Smith to play, although who the third "in" will be is harder to pick. Could be any of them I reckon. Interesting to see both the remaining Irish girls listed in the squad after Kennedy and O'Sullivan have held their spots.

Really exciting times. Let's take it up to the Lions!

Chances of me being the only swans supporter there on Sunday night?

 

[Cadsky]

got my tickets. its only 12 minutes from home so i really have no excuse. if its being telecast, look out for a family of 4 in red and white. we'll likely be behind the goals.

Girls being given no space to breathe early. This will be a good learning experience. If we can keep the margin below 5 goals I think it will be a positive.

 

[Mister B]

Oh * off with this umpiring. Being held without it and tackled high and get nothing but they pay a high fend off.

 

[Mister B]

Getting absolutely smashed around the ground. Considering how good she was last year, Brooke Lochland has been awful to start the season. Looks lazy with her kicking and decision making poor.

 

[kangle4]

Gardiner definitely knows how to find the footy.

 

[Mister B]

* off umpire. That's htb to Ella every day of the week. Absolute campaigner.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Yep, unbelievable.
Been some garbage umpiring thus far ..give us a break!

 

[Mister B]

Brisbane are much quicker than us. Dare to say, when putting together an AFLW side, you should just go for speed rather than height and strength.Absolutely tearing us apart.

 

[RilesMacca]

on the board, lovely worked goal

 

[Mister B]

Well done Monty. Genuinely looked like we might go scoreless.

 

[Mister B]

Jesus ******* christ. What can you do when they kick those.

 

[Mister B]

Piss around with it and the turnover just gets run straight down the other end. Brisbane are a very quick side. Our girls are being made to look worse than last years team.

 

[Mister B]

Well done Privi.

 

[RampeRobe]

First time watching live this year.. Gardiner looks a good player, the gulf between the natural footballers and the ‘athletes’ is still way to obvious in this game

 

[Mister B]

Lazy, lazy, lazy.
