Women's Footy AFLW Round 8 Brisbane versus North Melbourne

[briztoon]

First game at the Gabba for the girls. Hope we smash the pretender roo’s.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Would be great to get a win. Hopefully, we will be playing more finals at the Gabba.

 

[POBT]

It would be understandable if we were below par in this match, given the hard run we've had recently. But this group is nothing if not resilient.

What ever happened to the the very strong women that transferred from us to them whom I never see anymore (is she injured?)......I think her surname started with G....Gilmore? I was so sad when she left coz we needed her strength and still feel.....in comparison to other teams...we are a tad slim. Our determination is grand but occassionally out muscled. She would be handy in the wet.

Gibson? Missing most/all of the season with a hamstring tendon injury.

by golly if that doesn't rev you up I don't know what will.

woke up to the lovely sound of pouring rain.... lets go ladies!

our aerial defence hopefully will do their job nicely. I think Svarc will be utilised heavily today in the wet, lets hope we make the most of our opportunities in the f50 too.

guess I gotta get all the chores done early.. a long night of football ahead

Good luck girls , enjoy the Gabba

 

[Section 5]

With such a short season every game is so important
A chance to go 2 games clear of North then we play Melbourne away the following week
A loss puts us equal with North and depending on other results an awkward place on the ladder
Going to watch the ladies and hope a good crowd turns up to see them play. At least from half time onwards

Anyone know of a reasonable priced paid parking close to Gabba that covers both games

If you can get in early park at the Morrison hotel - think it was free and unlimited and they don't check if you're a customer when I was there last year

Just drove past and there was a meter there, might be worth calling and checking the parking with them if youre considering using it

Google maps (if i can load it ha ha) will indicate i have not moved
No just like about everyone else our section numbers have changed so mine has changed to Section 201
I can't see how to change my profile name
Can see where you can change Avatar etc. But when i tried to change name nothing happens
Not to worry 2 wins today is more important

Think you need a paid membership/subscription to change name.

I see all the other top teams are getting competitive games, but Collingwood play St Kilda and getting a percentage boost.

We played Richmond, Gold Coast and West Coast in our first 3 games. We got our percentage boost at the beginning of the season. Plus we played GWS.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

DAX!

that was calmly done. very stupid by the north defender (though probably should have been paid that mark or something?)

come on girls!

 

[FLVanLandingham]

gosh that north defender is cranky today, we're looking lively, but north are also going alright

 

[MSB ROYS]

Remember the fuss over Richmond's first goal at Punt Rd ... Dakota first at the Gabba.

 

[patfullfankezz]

If you see a Lion bawling at the Stanley St end it's totally me. Teared up when we kicked that goal.

I think being an overemotional wreck at the footy is my new default.

 

[MSB ROYS]

North seem to be getting quite awhile to dispose of the ball.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Very competitive first quarter.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Is it just me or were they cleaner with the ball than we were?
