Under Age 2023 U17 Girls Footy Discussion

[Lore]

Beautiful snap for goal from Alira Fotu! Medleys' first goal!

21-7

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Some of these girls on the Woomeras team are only 14

I was in Year 10 when those girls were born.

 

[Lore]

Seems a bit slippery, a couple of them have gone over. Hussain injured after her feet slid out from under her

 

[Lore]

Another protected zone 50m, this one to the Medleys. 2nd quarter nearly done. 2.5 minutes left

 

[Lore]

Or not. 18.5 minute quarters apparently, and a 15 minute half-time break.

Half Time
Woomeras 3.3 21
Medleys 1.1 7

I'll be off soon Lore so you take over commentary for the time being.

 

[Lore]

Behind for Gerardi, set shot, reasonable distance but off-line. Almost immediately turned over and Sarcha Taylor with the goal.

28-7

 

[Lore]

A poster for Amber Wunungmurra. And another behind for Jamarah Walley. Now lining up for another attempt... ootf. Woomeras peppering goal for no reward so far.

30-7

 

[Lore]

Fotu lining up and kicks her second goal, which is also the second one for Medley!

30-13

 

[Lore]

Hussain back on the ground!

Woomeras: Gerardi, Cruse, Taylor
Medleys: Fotu, Race

 

[Lore]

Behind for the Woomeras to start the fourth.

32-13

 

[Lore]

Medleys came back to draw it at the end of the fourth quarter, then won on golden point! They've been behind all game, but pulled it back to a more controlled game style (they're taller and stronger than the Woomeras, who capitalise more on fast ball movement and the ground balls), kicked 4.1 in the last.

Full Time
Woomeras 5.7 37
Medleys 6.2 38

 

[Lore]

Heidi Talbot (Woomeras) is BOG, gets a game ball.

Alira Fotu (Medleys) gets the other game ball.

Would this and the 2023 game be available for replays?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

And demonstrate more intent than half the players in the AFL(M)

Yes.

These girls were more in the contests and more willing to generate play than Essendon's men.

U16's multicultural game's come and gone but the thread which originally housed chatter for this game does not.

Let's continue the chatter.

On exposed form, who are your favourites for this crop?

Just saw this trolling through older threads.

This crop will be the best we have seen in the women's history, and it's not even close. Could name 15-20 players who would be vying for a Top 10 spot. Probably 7-8 vying for top spot. Gonna be an exciting couple of years.

Apart from Ash Centra and India Rasheed, who else has caught your eye?

One of the Whittington-Charity's?

The Whitington-Charity's are different ages. Jemma is the younger (and to be fair, better) one. Most unlucky not to get a gig at the champs. I'll be posting my thread today and will outline some, but there's a ton in SA, Georgia McKee possibly my top pick at this stage, but legit there's a heap.
