Crows: 4 - 5 - 29

Goals:
Kate Shierlaw - 1
Georgia Patrikios - 1

 

[Vacuous Space]

Spoke too soon on Priest. She barely touched it after quarter time and was frequently matched up Marinoff, who was probably the Crows best.

Disappointing (but not surprising) result. At least there are some positives to take out of the game.

On a day when the other top sides were flogging their opposition tuning up for finals, we made them fight to the end. Forward line structure the priority in the off season though. 31 inside 50s for 2 goals (both from free kicks) just isnt good enough

GP back to somewhere near her best, Molly Mac, Xenos and Priest terrific. Shierlaw's workrate fantastic but gets caught behind her opponent in marking contests too often and her set shot kicking has fallen away

 

[BrutThough]

Frustrating result because we outplayed them for a lot of the game. But looking back at how we played in rd1 back in January to how we played today, the improvement in this group is clear.

Looking to the off season, biggest priority is making sure the young core stay together. Then we need to develop a better forward system and add another clearance player to bolster the midfield.

Hopefully get a few more talented girls in for next season. It's tough with how the AFL have given the arm chair ride to the foundation clubs.

I reckon we've got it in us to be good enough to make finals, we didn't get blown out as badly as we did last season. Hopefully with Smith back our midfield improves next season and we stay injury free. Had some good players miss this year.

Looks like the only draft in between will be an over Ager draft. And presumably we’ll be pushed down the order. We’re in an awful place in terms of getting help. Im still surprised how competitive we’ve been given absence and injuries of guns, lack of top picks etc. Need Friend and Richards to push on.
