Game Day AFLW 2017 R2 vs Melbourne (7.40pm @ Princes Park)

Is Moana reading her own press? get a kick, love

Awfully hard when we can't get it inside our 50

Mo Hope would do better on a team of athletes IMO since most of the game is contests + turnovers.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Ball barely came into the F50 in the second half. Hard to get a kick when the ball is 50+ metres away for 90% of the time.

Fair point, a player of her 'ability' needs to be more influential though

 

[Black_White]

You can hit the ball straight down the throat of the rover. It doesn't mean they're going to grab it cleanly

True.
Issue is her around the ground efforts.
I didn't look at stats and couldn't be bothered.
But can you tell me Kicks/handballs/goals/points for her and her opponents over the night?
Might tell a different story to 3 to 1 hitouts.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Needs to start playing in front of her opponent more often, present more

I thought similar

 

[WakeUpPies]

You know what's good though, I'm 99% confident my 3 year old niece legit could be the best AFLW player if she wanted to one day

 

[Stoods]

Lol imagine what its gonna be like when the real stuff starts lol! This is nothing!

I'm guessing Eddie didn't make it to the game again?

No, he was there.

Yep.
So the coach needs to move her up the ground when the ball is stuck outside the F50.
Did they?
Is a Hope capable of playing the Cloke role on the wing?
If she can, who does she kick it to in the F50?
Because that was always the issue with Cloke up the ground. He needed to kick it to Cloke because not many others were capable of recieving the ball.
Hope has the same issue. We haven't built enough support around her with our recruiting.

 

[Black_White]

No, he was there.

With his new buddy..........
Hope lives!

X 10 considering what's at stake this year.

I'm in agreement that her around the ground efforts wasn't up to par tonight. I reckon her primary role is in ruck contests so that's where I was coming from.

Emma King. 5 kicks. 2 handballs. 0 marks. 33 hit outs. 3 tackles. 0 goals. 0 behinds. (I doubt any of her disposals were effective though)
Lauren Pearce. 3 kicks. 2 handballs. 1 marks. 11 hit outs. 3 tackles. 0 goals. 0 behinds.

2 home games played at filth park.crowd of 6300 in which 60% were melb supporters.hate that *ing place.

Really cringe worthy watching this rubbish in TV, unfortunately when the men's stuff kicks on Thursday, this will die a slow death! Maybe it'll be better in 5 years time.

Moana is very slow and unfit for someone regarded as a superstar and the face of the team. She was led to the ball whenever it did go forward and could not apply any defensive pressure. In fact we have far too many slow players, particularly in the forward line.

 

[joff]

Second half woeful.
Dave may have gone early, but hard to argue against his call.
Hard to argue it was harsh.

I'm sure we'd all love to be dominating but it's our second ever game patience and trust is what's required

Always talk big,Pert expects to win premierships in 3 years in 2013.womens coach says expects to play in gf.no other club spruiks how good they are but fail to deliver.

 

[Markfs]

there seems to be a consistency in the philosophy on choosing players which runs right through the club........ i cant help thinking back to the 1970s when the men's team was called "brilliant but brittle"...has the pendulum swung the other way too much? The club seems obsessed with hard nuts

officials do that at clubs where the members demand short term results.....the members set the agenda at collingwood in the end... probably only the richmond supporters are worse in this regard

Doesn't look like anyone else wanted to start the post game thread, so I've done one here:
