Game Day AFLW Round 10, 2025: West Coast vs Geelong

[Byron_Clanger]

The improvement on Lackfer this season has been crazy. She's a weapon, that kick to Painter for the goal, plus she's just so fast and agile now.

Something really clicked for her like a month ago. She's been incredible. As has been Cleaver all year, as has Roux in her move to the backline, without knowing anything about her you'd think she was a rough as guts backman, but she's really a forward, lol

Not to mention her contested marking. In 2 years time she's a ****ing nightmare for oppo

 

[Elite Pete]

Daisy and co have turned this whole program around. What a season so far. Would love for them to earn themselves a final spot.

How young most of the best players are is a great sign that this team will just keep improving as well.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Easy money

Kicking myself for not betting on that, seemed a ridiculous line when it came out. But I try to avoid betting on teams that I back in case I’m being blinded by bias.

 

[DanWCE]

Thought Bella really set the tone early. Was in it all, hunting, attacking, leading by example. The Captaincy seems to sit well with her.

All round great performance. Not sweating the lack of kicking away in the last. Cats piled them on in the 4th last week and looked revved up to all f*ck to do the same tonight. Girls played out of their skins to weather the storm.

Did Robbo slot one a second after the final siren?

 

[UseR2006]

Rentsch and Roux are huge for the squad, just complete wrecking balls that hit everything hard and cause complete mayhem for the oppo.

Love that Zakfer has settled and found confidence in her role and knowing she can play at the level. Tonight showed she has some serious steel in her too.

Luuush is a weapon. Riggs is going to destroy teams.

Ella just doing Ella things.

 

[ep2018]

If Melbourne beat Sydney like they should we'll play finals, otherwise we'll have to win another game.

Finals would be an incredible result. Hopefully the mens are watching. There is hope for them. Light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Monocle]

Well done ladies, excellent game.

Always good when you take your destiny in your own hands and come up winning.

[Byron_Clanger]

Unfortunately Bushby was walking around with ice on her calf at the end of the game and only played 30% of game time (still finished in the top 10 of our disposal getters) hopefully it's nothing serious, but when it's ice on a calf you just hope and pray

 

[Matele]

Damn it sounds like I missed a pearler! Will have to catch the replay.

Yeah she’s definitely gotten a lot fitter, probably helps to be an extra year removed from the ACL surgery. She was always regarded as a really good prospect. I am maybe more impressed by her sister, who wasn’t really talked about as AFLW level. She has really found a role that suits her down back.

ZAckfer is well regarded round these parts mate, she's got that DAAWG in her down back and I'm ****ing here for it.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Real good application today, they had a job to do and the intent was there from the first bounce. Been a great season watching the young group band together. Daisy is such a weapon

 

[UseR2006]

For your repeated viewing pleasure.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Cleaver's move to the backline is also a masterstroke. She was a ruck/forward as a u/18's All Australian and played that position last year to very little impact. She's been incredible this year. I wonder if she decided to park the netball and chose full focus on footy.

Yep, different players mature at different rates. Lackfer has her injury worries early, plus talls always take a little extra time. I always thought Zackfer was a good pick, I said so when we drafted her, I'd seen her a bit in the WAFLW and been impressed. But Lauren's finally fulfilling that junior promise after looking a little lost for a while, and it's awesome to see.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

For your repeated viewing pleasure.

Making full use of those tree trunk legs. Saw a couple of those for Vic Country in her draft highlights package and was like oh boy...wowee.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

One player had 100% time on ground. A key forward or defender, right? Someone who regularly gets a chance for a bit or rest when the ball is down the other end of the ground?

Wrong. It was Ella Roberts.

You can just see even during half time addresses how much they play for her.

We are so far removed from Prior spudding it up it’s actually an interesting reflection when you think about how it used to be.

 

[Ochre]

Dunno if it's been mentioned but I thought Swannys job on Prespakis tonight was outstanding.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Great game to be at live
I love Leederville Oval - much better facilities and I have personal fond memories

Roxy in defence is an inspired move

Cleaver and Wakfer down back were great again

Painter and Rentsch are a breath of fresh air

Riggs will be a match winner soon

Lots of great performances tonight. Good to put Geelong in their place

We need to win 1 of Carlton or Swans and I have absolute faith that Daisy will have them primed. She is a massive infusion at the club

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Dunno if it's been mentioned but I thought Swannys job on Prespakis tonight was outstanding.

Just came here to mention that, she kept one of the comp’s best players pretty quiet and also managed to gather 19 disposals and a goal. Thought Swanny had a mare last week with a few really poor errors but she made up for it tonight.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Incredibly professional effort in a get serious, must win game.

Gained a vital four points and a crucial eight percent which could well be the difference. Bloody proud of this group, going from what they were in the before times, to almost a new year one last season, and now in year two just bang bang bang.

Last three home games: Biggest win ever against GWS, then our new biggest win ever against Collingwood. Tonight, our fourth largest win ever. A group that is serious about making something of this year.
