Preview AFLW Rd 8 Carlton v Suns @ Metricon Friday March 19, 5.10pm

[BlueGum]

Footy! Two nights in a row! On the road to the Gold Coast. Our season might not go into the finals but I expect them to put on a good show for the remaining rounds to see what improvements we need next year and GC are not in the same realm as FReo, Pies, Adelaide and other top of the ladder teams.

Great to see Walker back - we missed her run, and Hammans with another opportunity to show what she can do (aginst her old team).
In: Charlotte Hammans, Brooke Walker
Out: Serena Gibbs (omitted), Charlotte Wilson (managed)

Round 8 team
Backs:	Mua Laloifi	Daisy Walker
Half-backs:	Gab Pound	Alison Downie	Kerryn Harrington
Centreline:	Lauren Brazzale	Katie Loynes	Charlotte Hammans
Half-forwards:	Georgia Gee	Tayla Harris	Darcy Vescio
Forwards:	Natalie Plane	Nicola Stevens
Followers:	Breann Moody	Madison Prespakis	Lucy McEvoy
Interchange:	Elise O'Dea	Abbie McKay	Jess Hosking
	Grace Egan	Brooke Walker
Emergencies:	Madeline Guerin	Serena Gibbs

2 games left why manage Wilson? Ffs.

Need % to have any chance of finals.

 

[Coona Blues]

Why Friday night. Could have been there Saturday or Sunday.

 

[drunkill]

Need a huge win

 

[Jeremias]

Should be a comfortable win but we've had another slow start here so we're immediately up against it.

First two goals of the afternoon to the Suns.

EDIT: First three goals.

 

[Blues_Man]

Absolute rabble

 

[RedFury]

Heart not in it anymore by the looks. Very little intensity or care factor out there from us.

 

[Jeremias]

Fantastic effort from Gee leads to Vescio putting one through for our first goal.

 

[Jeremias]

Shocking miss from Prespakis. Had a team mate all alone in the goal square.

We've lifted though.

 

[RedFury]

What has happened to Egan this year? She was so sure last year but I cringe whenever she goes near it now.

 

[HBF]

Shocking miss from Prespakis. Had a team mate all alone in the goal square.

We've lifted though.

Give us a score J

 

[Blues_Man]

What has happened to Egan this year? She was so sure last year but I cringe whenever she goes near it now.

She's had a very ordinary year

 

[Jeremias]

19-7 at the first break.

To put that into context, the Suns scored more in that quarter than they have in 4 out of their 7 matches thus far this season.

 

[GalaxyBlue]

Really missing Wilson in the backline.

Do like Matty Lappin’s knowledge in the commentary box though.

 

[Blues_Man]

Suns look fast and clean with their disposal ..we look like a under 12's side

 

[Jeremias]

Vescio draws first blood in the second quarter. She's a superstar.

Margin has been pegged back to 5 points.

 

[GalaxyBlue]

Better start this quarter...

 

[Jeremias]

Prespakis hits the post from a tight angle. 3 point margin.

 

[Jeremias]

Vescio with another great goal. She's a freak.

Blues in front by 2.

 

[Jeremias]

Vescio marks at the top of the square hits the post.

She has completely broken this game apart.

Blues up by 8 points.

 

[Jeremias]

Great goal by the Suns against the run of play.

Blues by 2.

 

[Blues_Man]

If it wasn't for Gee and Vescio we would be getting a pasting. We have players who panic every time they get the ball

 

[Jeremias]

Immediate response by Carlton, Plane with the goal.
