Big game tonight. Get the job done girls. Go Dase!

Must-win game. I reckon we'll know in the first five if we're switched on. Don't know if we'll have the luxury of being absent for a half.

 

[Canary]

Hopefully we take right up to the Bulldogs. I probably put as at about 60-40, especially given Brennan is an out. Looking forward to a good contest!

Let's hope for a stronger start this week.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Come on girls! Let's make it two from two

 

[PitchBlease]

Could definitely get used to this

 

[MUYB]

Ridiculously stiff free

 

[PitchBlease]

Mark, kat

 

[PitchBlease]

Umps really need to put it away

 

[PerfectFooty]

Hickey of half back is a perfect role for her. She reads it really well and competes hard

 

[MUYB]

Scott's got a good set of hands on her

 

[PerfectFooty]

I will say this about the Western Oval, the city skyline in the background looks fantastic on the telecast

 

[MUYB]

Bit of consistency between the teams being assessed for prior opportunity wouldn't go astray

 

[MUYB]

2 seriously nice contested marks by Mifsud and Cordner to set up that goal

 

[MUYB]

Nice goal by Berry there, really needed to get some reward for how much we've controlled the game too

 

[PerfectFooty]

Daisy busy early this week. Gotta make the most with the breeze

 

[PerfectFooty]

Mifsud, Just strength

 

[MUYB]

14 point lead is handy, but really would have liked more given the fact the ball spent all but 1 minute or so in our forward half

 

[d33my]

Great to see a contested forward in the number 9. And Berry's goal was a ripper.

Would have liked to have taken one more goal into HT but pleased with that quarter.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Getting to watch a Cordner is so much win.

 

[MUYB]

Interesting to see how much better this commentary team is compared to the dross we had to put up with for the mens game. Actually informative and insightful.

I thought Brian Lake gave us a pretty good insight when he helpfully reminded us he 'isn't a doctor'

 

[PerfectFooty]

Need to stay focused. Can't drop off after half time.

Fair bump gifted goal
