Game Day AFLW Round 5, 2024: West Coast vs GWS

[Carbine Chaos]

Big tick in the Daisy column so far, this match. GWS haven't disgraced themselves around the footy but our structures have been very sound.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

+21% today. Could genuinely matter.

Were in a finals chase, folks.

 

[Ochre]

Thomas's kicking is sublime.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Old cobber having a meltdown next to the effects mic, love to hear it.

“YOU ARE KIDDING” cry me a river buddy.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

To replace the previous role players who were nowhere near it, to players like Octavia and Bakker who can genuinely contribute, is huge also.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Some soft efforts from Western then Swanson lead to their second.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Lakay has given away several ruck free kicks today in spite of her size advantage.

Not sure what that was one for, though.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Umpiring of ruck contests would have to be the most consistent blight on this league. They ignore blatant infringements and have no clue how bodywork works.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Western and Gibson can't win a 2-1 at one end, GWS take it to the other end and score. Sigh.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

As much as I’ve liked Lyons’ game, I feel like we’ve lost Lakfer in the last few weeks. Really hasn’t added a lot to the forwadrline and looked dangerous in the ruck earlier in the year.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

That was out of bounds, surely.

Phenomenal from Zakfer to give us a chance there.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gibbo loves a goal.

And we love Gibbo.

Excellent shepherd from Bakker there to allow the goal.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

GIBBO BANG

 

[squashface]

Gibson had no business making that contest. Huge

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Is Beth Schilling AA at this stage?

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Needed that goal. Highest score ever by the club.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Ella’s ability to make ground during chases where she seems like she’s no chance is awesome.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Western is annoying me today. At her size she should be a lot cleaner.

 

[WCEswift]

Is Beth Schilling AA at this stage?

I hung a lot of shit on her last year, but this year shes been sublime. Would surely be in the convo

 

[Ochre]

Is Beth Schilling AA at this stage?

I don't watch enough non WCE games to know the competition but yes definitely. Zakfer and Thomas too.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Thought the Giants played really well that quarter, but we held up very well. Well done Dais/girls.

 

[Ochre]

Useless, get her off.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Need to switch Cleaver off Evans.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Well done Roxy, big ball to win in the middle there.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Zakfer has really emerged these last few weeks.
