It seems like every aspect of Women's footy has improved tenfold bar the umpiring

I dunno, seems on par with yesterday.
That being said, another Hawk tackles without it.

We were a real shot at half time
Went in celebrating - first red flag
Then the Lions stepped up a bit
Then the umps stepped up

A lot of positives to take from the performance so far- massive gap in experience and learning to deal with some horrendous umpiring.

Umps not even pretending to be unbiased now.
Makes up for yesterday I suppose

Moron lions supporters here are drunk and care more about antagonising oppo fans then watching the play.

Wrong. Hawks ran out of gas and the Lions started to play to their ability. Too many passengers in the Hawks team that you’d prefer to blow smoke up. Too many that aren’t ready for this level, some will probably never make it. Some that will make it aren’t playing well. If this happened in the men’s space, they would be called out…..albeit via the safety of the keyboard.
Not to mention the coach was out coached in the second half.
Looks like the Hawks don’t train with game like pressure. The amount of poor decisions made when the Lions turned up the heat was very alarming. Worst part of this was no ball security inside the contest in our defensive 50. Tapping the ball out into chaos in that area of the ground is dumb footy.

Dakota Davidson - what a nasty piece of work.
Glad the hawks didn’t back away from the physicality that the lions bought
Girls tired in the third but to be not blown away is great to see.
Still lacking a bit of a game plan in the forward 50 - so many times there was just no one too kick it too

Like our men's team, they need some time to develop and get some consistency. They seem to play pretty well in parts. Ran out of gas, but it's a team their second season up against a team in their eighth.
Lions clearly better in the second half, but the umps were very one sided.
Bates has been a great pick up. Fleming and Stratton will both be guns.

Wow! For someone who claims to be older, you are certainly painting your self as a tantrum throwing teenager. Good for you. Own it.

The poster in question does not post on many men's threads. And comes in ttopot the women without even a hint of optimism.
Also has an unhealthy obsession with Charlotte Baskaran

Yep. Amazingly I remember when AFLW first started, it was awful. 20 m kicks were long, nobody could pick up a stationary ball, and handballing the ball the punching hand wouldn't even make contact, it has come so far in such a short time. A similar arc to women's cricket. 15 years ago, the boundaries were only just beyond the 30 m circle, now they are hitting 85 m sixes.

Thought we played a really good 1st half and then predictable fell away against a very strong side .
We did cop 2-3 pretty average decisions against us , but really it accelerated us getting over run .
They will be a pretty good side in 20 games

Hawks only seem to play well in the 2nd quarter
Need to recruit key position players at both ends

possibly difficult to generate that game pressure at training (as we have less skill base and less experience base) cf what Brisbane can do in their training
