Worst half of footy the ladies have played this season. Good to get it out of their system before finals. Also not sure what has happened to Molloy, but she has been ordinary really the past few games.
Adelaide do look a class above however, particularly on their homedeck. The girls will do well to win it from here..
 
They showed the live ladder at half time and our percentage was 203!!
That puzzled me too as it cannot be correct with the current scores.

(345+7) / (159+22)/100 =/= 203
 
So the ump pays that tackle as a hold afterwards, but not the one to us in the forward pocket the previous time we had it done there? We're having a mare, but the umps are too.

We've lifted our intensity this quarter, but just need to find a way to score given we still cannot find our usual shape and structure.

better to find the ball and forget about shape..... get hands on ball.... get numbers to where the ball is.... as john kennedy would say " do something"
 
One quarter left. Unlikely we'll scrape into the top 2, but this is what we need in terms of the scoreboard. Basically we cannot allow Adelaide to score more than one goal and we need to reach between 22-34 ourselves. Ideally we need to kick 3 goals or 2.2 and keep the crows scoreless.

Yep, there's a handful of low or very low scoring games that we can scrape into second with. Anything below these scores with the same margin would see that occur (for example 1 point loss 30-31). The scores are already too high for anything above a 14 point margin.

Effectively we need to win this quarter 14-0

Doable if Adelaide puts the cue in the rack
 
Do we risk it all and chuck Livingstone forward? We're really missing a big tall target today.

EDIT: It looks like we've gone with Brazill as the change forward.

i cannot believe that the afl wants umpires to interpret the game this way.... especially for the women. It's ridiculously technical and it's like a lottery.
 
That 50m penalty gives us a date with North next week

Edit - or at least it should have
We should have NM's measure, but being on the road for the prelim and GF if we get there is the worry. It would likely mean needing to beat both BL and Ade in the finals to claim the flag. While we look the best Vic team those two with their greater experience and size/strength are another matter.
