Women's Footy AFLW Round 9 Brisbane v Melbourne at Casey Fields

[MSB ROYS]

Paxman pushes Svarc into our player. Nothing to see.

 

[Nunez]

I think I enjoy AFLW more than the mens.

I take it back I hate all AFL

 

[MSB ROYS]

HTB is very frustrating.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Welp, that escalated quickly.

Need to dig deep now.

 

[iBeng]

Umpires must have watched last nights game and took notes...

 

[Hollow Knight]

Same umps from last night?

 

[Mayestro]

I’m probably a bit more sensitive to it than normal and I think we’ve given away a few free kicks but 22 to 10 frees feels a little out of whack.

 

[jackess]

Umps lost the plot

 

[FLVanLandingham]

that was insane. seeing dax come up was pretty funny though.

come on ladies!

 

[jackess]

Some really tough tackling

 

[MSB ROYS]

HTB against Hodder but ignore the 10 before.

 

[iBeng]

Lots of kicking in hope that we somehow clear...

 

[jackess]

Is Paul Roos coaching Melbourne. This is elite flooding

 

[iBeng]

Need a Woosh or Hodder special...

 

[Hollow Knight]

Two heartbreakers. Sigh.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

oh many if taylor picked that ;o

COME ON BODIE
don't think she'll get it, but it was a valiant effort

 

[ZoBlitz]

Poll is up.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Demons won by 2 pts

 

[FLVanLandingham]

dangit.. those last goals melbourne got were opportunistic and we shouldn't have let them get them at all

I thought our girls were very good too. bummer

 

[iBeng]

And now watch the AFL media write us off completely.

 

[Nunez]

The free kick count was the 23rd man today.

 

[Dalions]

2 heart breaking losses in one weekend.
That’s it I’m out.

 

[Lazza16]

Dees backline bit to strong 4 us. Marked so many bombs and also very proficient in thowing. O'Dwyer had a big game....she is so strong at the ball.

 

[Maroon Monsoon]

God that was shattering. I thought we were in with a chance at the end but it just wasn't to be. To be honest I didn't think either team looked great, and our girls were a cut below where they were the last few weeks but you can't fault their work rate.

If I'm reading it right we've locked down a home final regardless and we'll definitely be in with a shot to have a good finals campaign given how well we've played the top six team this season. Would be great if Collingwood can handle the crows and lock us in for a top two finish so the girls can have a week to recover and get right for finals

Even on a disappointing day I've gotta say I really enjoy watching this team. I really hope they can show the whole comp how good they are across finals

Edit: so I've looked and if the crows win we finish third, pies win we finish second. Crows have looked like the best team in the comp when they've been on so I reckon they'd be the favourite, but who knows what happens. Still, locking in a top three finish with where the team looked to be after the Gold Coast raids is a remarkable outcome

22 v 10 free kicks their way, girls just weren't smart today.
