Game Day AFLW Rd2: vs Carlton, Kinetic Frankston, Sat 23 Aug 7:15pm

[ViperV10]

Aine! Cool, calm goal to surely win it with a minute to go

 

[dixyland]

How is it not realistic when she got her hands to it?

 

[rei154]

Accuracy was not on tonight and I can't help but feel that that cost us a lot of momentum.
Good win in an absolute scrap

 

[killerspud]

Great win by the girls sign me up for Anne McDonagh fan club.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

How is it not realistic when she got her hands to it?

And the one that took aine out was ok...

 

[rei154]

Nat Edwards is VERY short

That was an unbelievable call. How the **** do the umps not know the rules?

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Ashmore would want to show a whole lot more next week.
The youngster Stone looks a player in the making.

Our aerial ability with key position players was inferior to the Blues who seems to have sticky hands

Some really tall and solid girls in blue tonight held them together.

I think Harrington and Eardley were strong marking targets for each team, just a high pressure game from both sides

 

[The hands of stone]

Good win , thought we looked unlikely in the last 1/4 .
Gee we have some exciting players in the team .

I wonder how much Kempy's injury affected them? ACL's are a "if you know, you know" which would definitely apply and it happening at training is just unfair too. Easily could have rattled the whole team. Kempy stamped herself into the defence last season and is integral part of the team. Heart goes out to Ainslie and her recovery.



I will say, all caveats about players out and not having our best side on park, after 2 games I'm not convinced yet we can do better than last year (ie win a final). Jaz out is testing the midfield depth we left go during the off-season.



D-Web's the expert not me, but I'm just not sure we have the right composition up front and back, especially with talls. We're very reliant on Everist and now Allen down back, I can't see that being sustainable against good sides.



Still 10 games to go, happy to wait and see how it all plays out.

We beat the Lions in a very similar game to last year.

We were down on form against the blues, but it was 3 less days break (how that happens in round 2 is beyond me), and the game vs Brisbane was as physical as you can get. We were spent at half time. The fact we could win shows we do have a lot to work with.

Then you add in the 4 major injuries to a side which is still trying to develop players 12-21 (Richardson, Fleming, gilroy, kemp) and you can see why is was a dour game. We still had 15 scoring shots. Theres actually a fair bit to work with

Hawks dig deep to extend Kinetic Stadium fortress to six straight

Hawthorn’s AFLW team has been faultless to start the season.
