Game Day AFLW Round 9, 2025: West Coast vs Adelaide

[Carbine Chaos]

Our kicking going forward has been diabolical.

 

[DanWCE]

Looks like they've over adjusted to the narrow ground and trying to spot up kicks out of the back 50 right in a dangerous zone. Delicate balance with the lasoo rule as well, can't set up too wide.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Need a couple of spot up marks on the wing, all going a bit Prior-ball get it out the back.

 

[DanWCE]

That is a shocking HTB call

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Oh **** off ump.

 

[Barrybran]

We're not playing that badly but our decision making and kicking is terrible

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Crows on top as you’d expect but have held the dam wall together, the only two goals coming from routine dropped marks by our two most tenured defenders.

Need to find a target on the wing and ahead, this scramble over the back of the setup isn’t going to work against such a professional outfit.

Cleaver is a ripper. Lewis having a who’s coming with me game in the guts.

 

[Seadog]

Swanson has been poor, the game has gone past her I fear.
The girls are a bit hesitant, the hot whistle lately has spooked them a bit.

 

[domad33]

Our kicking has been bad all around but the entries inside 50 need to be more composed.

Too many panic dump kicks to an outnumber making us super vulnerable on the rebound.

 

[Seadog]

Lucky to only be 2 goals down, Cleaver saved us from losing it in the first qtr.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Adelaide overlap runners from behind, almost at all costs, is killing us.

 

[Barrybran]

That kick was Duggan-like

 

[Barrybran]

Nice kick out of defense by Painter. Centimetre perfect.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Getting dominated in the air

Be nice if someone could at least compete for a mark

 

[HoneyBadger35]

You ****en beauty. Well done Lewis. Slick work in the middle of the ground to set it up too.

 

[domad33]

Completely BURNED her, lessgoo

 

[Barrybran]

Nice. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid that Lewis would stuff that up but she's judged that beautifully.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Getting dominated in the air

Be nice if someone could at least compete for a mark

I think statistically we’re the best contested marking team in league history, certainly were as of a few weeks ago.

Rare to see a team have so much success in the air against us.

 

[new breed]

No free kick dropping the ball ...

 

[HoneyBadger35]

How the **** in this era where every single tackle is holding the ball does that not get rewarded?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Western and Britton need upgrading.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Western having a shocker sadly.

 

[Barrybran]

That's not holding the ball. Come on.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

L Wakfer drops an uncontested mark for our second goal.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

heck what a burned chance. The more we can get it in Lu’s hands, or more specifically on her boot, the better.
