Game Day AFLW R5: Crows vs Blues @ Norwood

[rocket18]

Champagne football there.

 

[JP Sauce]

What a great few minutes. Raining goals!

 

[John Who]

And I finally get to say this...Great to see us having a super game without yet the influence of Phillips!

 

[rocket18]

Seemed to gell a lot better that quarter.

 

[John Who]

Our best quarter without Erin ..ever!
Our best frees for in a quarter..ever!
What more records can we break?

Hopefully the momentum and high disposal efficiency continues, because looks like Phillips is gonna sit out the rest of the game (unless there's a break glass in case of emergency case).

Even though Erin sat out most of that quarter, she is still our third highest possession getter and she did get a nice goal assist in that quarter. Hopefully we won't need her for the rest of the match and she can rest up for next week.

 

[Ramify]

Erin injured?

 

[dplggr47]

Erin injured?

quad soreness; She'll only be back in if we're desperate.

We could try to beat Bulldogs' record for highest score in a AFLW match (86)

I'm not saying Phillips is having a bad game, I understand she's got some niggles. Just more the observation we've finally playing tall without Erin's influence. It's good to finally see this and hope we can keep this up!

Erin did still play the majority of he quarter out from FF. I really like the use of our players tonight. Randall all over the place where needed and especially to annoy Harris. Marinoff is just bulldozing everywhere. Perkins in the middle and then drops back to CHF where she was really controlling a lot of our forwards movement.

Carlton throwing everything at us, but we are holding firm at this stage.

 

[finn]

Marinoff is trying to kick the ball too hard and too flat and has all year. Her timing seems a bit off; certainly her desire for the ball hasn't waned at all.

 

[jenny61_99]

Sam lane and her “major news”... shock horrow Phillips has ice on her thigh.

 

[Vooligan]

This quarter so far.

 

[jenny61_99]

Van Hagen oy vay

 

[jenny61_99]

This quarter so far.

Actually it’s highly contested.

 

[Vooligan]

Actually it’s highly contested.

Meaningless without score.

 

[jenny61_99]

Meaningless without score.

Rubbish.

 

[Vooligan]

Rubbish.

Rubbish nothing. Watching two teams struggle for a quarter is boring footy. Dress it up how you like, but low scoring defensive football is boring. If you enjoy it, that’s fine, but majority don’t.

 

[jenny61_99]

Blues threw everything at us but couldn’t hurt us on the score board.

Then don’t watch it and leave us that can appreciate it for what it is to comment.

We're leading by 4 goals. Either we play more risk football or we clog it up. I don't mind either way as long we're hard at the ball, which we currently are.

Marinoff is trying to kick the ball too hard and too flat and has all year. Her timing seems a bit off; certainly her desire for the ball hasn't waned at all.

I don't know if it's her ball drop or what, but her kicks are very high, except for that low penetrating kick straight to the opponent, which looked more accidental than anything.

Spoke too soon, without her in the forward line it fell apart that quarter, almost has become a psychological factor with the team when they see Phillips isn’t there.
