AFLW Autopsy 2023 Season 8 Round 03 - Lions v Swans - Sunday 17 Sep - 5:05pm - Brighton Homes

[Mister B]

*. Ham injured again. Medical team should be shot. No need to bring her back this week.

 

[kangle4]

Morphett should just do that every time lol.

 

[Mister B]

Great goal to Morphett. We blew a guilt edged opportunity by trying to share it too much. Luckily we have gone with the 7 point play.

Think you might be in the wrong thread.

Sorry. Lost track of my tabs

 

[Mister B]

What the * umpire, she punched Brooke in the head after she marked it then dropped her knees on her twice. Do your ******* job you nimrod.

 

[Mister B]

How the * does Davison get a free kick for shepherding her opponent out of the contest? This is a joke.

 

[Mister B]

Now we have the Brisbane players umpiring the game themselves. * off.

 

[kangle4]

There’s some really bullshit umpiring in this league.

Is it weird to have a most hated AFLW player…?

Anyway mine is Dakota Davidson..

 

[Mister B]

Our mids and forwards have been incredibly lazy today. It's actually embarrassing the amount of times they have stood back and watched.

 

[RilesMacca]

Gardiner is having a great start to the season so far, putting together a great game.

 

[Mister B]

Lions are so confident we are going to turn it over, they are leaving a spare in our forward line even when we are attacking.

Absolute scum she is. Tried to take Ella's head off after she'd marked it.

 

[Mister B]

Bit of a shame we don't have huge depth. I'd be dropping Lochland and at least one of the Hamilton's against WCE. Completely ineffective. Gardiner and Morphett sensational. Heads needs to teach the rest how to hit a target. Molloy needs to develop a left foot. Has blown three easy opportunities tonight.

Only watched the first quarter but we looked very average. We were clearly intimidated by the Lions and were extremely tentative in how we played. Not sure what has happened to Cynthia Hamilton. She has started this season very poorly.

 

[Callipygian]

Well, we were well and truly outclassed by a savvier, harder, cleaner, quicker opposition. But that was not a surprise. Overall I think we showed a bit - especially compared to how I was feeling after we were down 5 goals to nothing.

I thought our Irish players were notable both for their hardness and the speed of their play (I think the playing on fast might be a Gaelic footy thing). Tanya Kennedy is an absolute beast - she has proven a real find. Julie O'Sullivan is young and improving every week. Paris McCarthy had a solid debut and got involved a fair bit. She also dug in after she'd been hit and hurt and kept coming.

Overall I do agree our players, especially our talls, seem a bit cumbersome and lumbering compared to those in the leading teams e.g. Melbourne and North.

We have a standout trio leading the B&F at this early stage in my opinion: Laura Gardiner, Chloe Molloy and Ally Morphett. They have all been fantastic, especially Laura. Laura has quickly joined the highest echelon of my favourite players. What a steal! So glad we've got her. And she's still got plenty of room to improve. Finding players like her is crucial because we're not going to keep getting the #1 draft picks the way we're going.

I hope Laura is recognised as BOG for this match. Moy wasn't quite as good as she's been, but still important. Morphett was great.

Privitelli is putting together a good season. Her marking has been terrific.

I thought Bella Smith had a good comeback game after being omitted - playing forward and back. Better than Lexi Hamilton.

Morphett not only to take out rising star but also on target for AA. Got the better of Hicky who is no slouch.

Already being touted as a Rising Star favourite.

Coaches' votes are in: Swans duo poll votes from the coaches.

It's a strange breakdown. I reckon we gave 5 votes to Hodder, 4 to Gardiner and 3 to Anderson and the Brisbane coaches gave 5 to Anderson, 3 to Gardiner and 4 to Dawes. But it could be the other way around.

and I assume each coach gave 1 to Ally Morphett
