Women's Footy AFLW Season 2022 - [C(Aine) feel that it's (Tighe)me?]

[jerms]

Down two goals to zip five minutes in. Seriously rusty start - WC looking pretty sharp by comparison.

Give Firefox a try if you have it btw, I've always found AFL.com.au/club broadcasts struggle with Chrome for some reason (they endlessly buffer in and out) so I keep a copy of Firefox just to watch those.

 

[Taylor]

Freo are panic kicking forward a lot, West Coast are first to the ball

 

[Taylor]

Fremantle are running really hard for each other when we have control of the ball but the skills are letting them down.

 

[jerms]

2.1 to 0.0 at QT - we've been really average. None of ours really merits a positive mention so far - Turbo with about 53 clearances, but then continually channeling her inner Danyle Pearce

; Runnalls getting a good bit of it and showing endeavour, but her disposal needs some work.

 

[Taylor]

This handball game they are trying to get moving has potential to open up some breaking out the front of the stoppage clearances but I don't like how much the ball is touching the grass.

I suspect the team will try and slow the game down a bit this quarter to control the game a little bit. This constant moving footy outside the stoppages does not work for us.

 

[Taylor]

They are getting quite physical with Miller. She was running to pressure and tackle a lot in the first quarter.

 

[jerms]

Can't be (severely) missing set shots from 20 metres out straight in front this year...

We are ineffective in the ruck. Blake Acres

would be really there as far as controlling space, leap and directing the ball to advantage.

Edit - Strom is getting involved a lot around the ground

 

[Taylor]

You can't shirk the contest like that when your name is Hyde. There's been a few of those. Not to question their commitment or courage but the review will have a lot of "what was that? Is that what we stand for?"

 

[Purpleheart_56]

never seen our girls play this bad...

 

[ImperialPurple]

Score?

 

[Taylor]

FRE 1.3.9
WCE 4.2.26 (ish) not sure on that one

 

[wayToGo_]

It's pretty bad but it is pre-season. No injuries is all that matters.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Eeuuww thinking of losing to them even in preseason hurts my head and heart

 

[Clemen]

How can they snap goals like that and we can’t kick them directly in front?

 

[Taylor]

Freo are hitting the stoppages at full speed, if we win clean hands and move it quickly to that mobile loose we are going to look really exciting.

If we don't we will look completely without defense in there.

It's pretty bad but it is pre-season. No injuries is all that matters.

if i've learnt anything from the past few years its to not overreact to pre season games against wce

 

[Clems Knee]

It feels like we have been playing like we have been training this preseason. One more quarter.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Is Evie playing? How’s she going?

 

[Taylor]

Is Evie playing? How’s she going?

She played earlier and was in good places to block our movement forward, but then her use forward and footspeed didn't hurt us the other way.

 

[wayToGo_]

Franklin is going to be very good when she plays less selflessly

 

[wayToGo_]

Hyde has fumbled every single time she's been near it. What is going on?

 

[Purpleheart_56]

We did great job of hiding our NEW game plan...No opposition will get it....

 

[rgauci]

I think people underestimate how much talent we lost in the off-season. Sharp, Duffy, even Gooch. Gonna be hard to hold ground and we were barely a finals team come the end of the season. I’m not convinced this team is a flag contender this year.

 

[Scham]

Fremantle are running really hard for each other when we have control of the ball but the skills are letting them down.

Sounds familiar...
