Game Day AFLW Round 3: vs Richmond at Punt Road 2.10pm AWST

[samFFC]

It's very hard to get used to Fremantle actually getting a good run from the umps, it just doesn't compute!

Yup - don't get too used to it!

 

[Scham]

Onya Hayley!

 

[samFFC]

Miller WOW. Probably BOG.

 

[CakeEater]

Can we get Hayley to teach Fyfey to kick set shots?

 

[BettercallSaul]

Being skipper suits Miller.

 

[Steinfreo]

Putting on a show now

 

[BettercallSaul]

Our fitness is at another level!

 

[freo_leo29]

turned into a rout

 

[Scham]

Can we get Hayley to teach Fyfey to kick set shots?

She can start by teaching Houghton first!

 

[jerms]

One day, when our usual good patch of footy extends for four quarters rather than one, we're going to absolutely hammer an opponent.

 

[samFFC]

Not bad. Much better signs. Need a steady 3rd and could take it away from them in the 4th.

Good call

 

[freo_leo29]

Unfortunate to let them get 2 back but good win in the end there


Solid game all round, Tigers got sloppy in the last and gave away too many frees, we were already running away with it though

 

[samFFC]

Quality win on the road. 3-0 and a very handy percentage.

 

[BettercallSaul]

So glad they sang the second verse first and then Freo way to go … men should follow.

 

[freo_leo29]

Do the girls sing the original long version of the song?


Is that new?

 

[freodog]

Most impressive part of the match - They sung the extended song!!

 

[BettercallSaul]

No just the second ( best verse imho) first.

 

[CapitalA]

No just the second ( best verse imho) first.

Normally they don't do that though, usually they do the first verse 2x. They said they had been rehearsing all week in the podcast hahaha.

 

[Wilksyy]

Just watching a replay of the game now. Hayley Miller is fantastic to watch. Pugh is underrated in the back line. Dana East and Runnells are up and comers in this team.

I would cringe at the skill level of AFLW in previous seasons but I’m loving the girls footy this year.

Great win.

 

[rgauci]

Impressive victory. Onwards and upwards.

Finally starting to happen. Taken a few years but you're now seeing girls who've been playing the game since they were 12/13 as well as the natural development of those in the system. You can see the skills improving, along with the scores. I mean I'm happy when the guys kick 11.11, for the women relative to previous season's averages, it's amazing. AFLW is going to improve leaps and bounds year on year now. As a father of a young girl I'm loving that there's another sport that is on track to be genuinely elite by the time she's able to watch and enjoy it, let alone play of she wants.

Also not going to lie; love it that the Dockers are killing it and the Eagles are s**t.

Excuse my ignorance but do the womens games still have the shorter quarters?

Shorter quarters, less players on the field and an extra interchange player.

AFLW is improving year on year, but they are a long way off elite as mentioned. Having said that, it is enjoyable to see more clear passages of play and some good goals. Tighe is going to be a gun as she strings some games together. If she keeps tapping to advantage, taking marks around the ground and can kick a goal every other game she will become one of our most important players.

Bowers is a beast. Just an absolute beast. What a ripper!

Can anyone let me know what the strange sideways triangle on the back of the jumper was? Weird colours to go with the nice rainbow.

 

[Taylor]

You can see what happens with teams that can maintain their run for four quarters and those that can't.

It’s the new pride flag. It represents the transgender community, and the intersectional and further marginalised queer people of colour. Personally not a huge fan. The original rainbow represents all of us already imo.
