Game Day AFLW Round 1, 2025: West Coast vs Gold Coast

[Barrybran]

Dominant quarter. It makes a huge difference having actual footy players and an actual footy coach.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Swanson and Roberts dominating. Actually enjoying the Eagles for a bit.

 

[UseR2006]

It's amazing what a full 2 years has done to the girls team.
When Daisey took over there was a bunch of question marks on a number of players, some with Talent but young, others not sure if up to it. She has them looking like a serious outfit with still room to grow.

Getting Daisey in was the smartest thing this club has done in years.

 

[Ochre]

Ball movement is so far ahead of last year. Team defence is shaky and worries me v a better team but is also q1 of implementing it.

Also we have Ella Roberts

 

[bUCKET__]

Rentsch with 5 tackles for the quarter chasing and hitting hard

 

[UseR2006]

Ella - 11 Disposals, 225MG, 2 Goals in a Qtr. Give her the Brownlow already.

 

[Ochre]

 

[Biggie]

Jess Rentsch with the 5 tackles

 

[Livin1989]

Rowley really stepping up this season. Weapon

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Rentsch could get a gig as tackling coach for the men and I wouldn't question it. Woof.

Have liked Cleaver's work down back thus far.

 

[Barrybran]

Franklin needed to shepherd for Thomas there

 

[Underdog]

Can we please quit with the blimp cam?

 

[Barrybran]

15.01m at best

 

[giffler]

Can we please quit with the blimp cam?

It looks like it's footage from a Kmart drone

 

[Livin1989]

Franky's boot..... Holy moly

 

[Livin1989]

Cleaver is developing VERY well in Defence. Needs to tidy up her kick but her body positioning and contested marks are very good

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Painter has a bit of the Ash McCarthy's about her I reckon.

 

[Livin1989]

Painters boot needs to be painted ****ibg gold

 

[UseR2006]

For all that GC only got 2 points, Defense held up really well.
Need to adjust a few things at half time but overall very happy so far.

 

[Biggie]

**** like the look of Lou Painter. Her and Rentsch with Thomas and Roberts are a team you can build around

Roux and Britton not where I’d like them to be.

 

[TY24]

Forward structure was a bit lacking that quarter.

Painter and Roberts, hooley dooley. They can play.

 

[Ochre]

Cleaver is developing VERY well in Defence. Needs to tidy up her kick but her body positioning and contested marks are very good

Looked so devoid of confidence last year and just a huge 180 so far, been very impressed

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Rentsch and Painter will take us to the promised land.

Really good intent from a much more even spread to move the ball by hand or use the 2v1. Cleaver’s mark and hitting a target simply wasn’t happening last year.

 

[MeltMan]

Thought it was his or nothing for a bit.
Greek street pack looks immense.
Got a case of the shot eyes watching the big screen more than the live

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Forward structure was a bit lacking that quarter.

Painter and Roberts, hooley dooley. They can play.

Prior-ball in full effect, no deep target when the ball is defensive side of the wing, so the long kick down the line gets chopped off.
