AFLW Finals, Week 2 - 2024 AFLW season

[CURVE]

Port have looked okay since Lamb's gone into the middle

 

[Tadpole]

They’ve done well to get as far as they have, and but I don’t think Port are quite at the level of the other remaining teams yet. I’ve been impressed with their improvement, and their time will come before much longer, but I’m not sure this is their year.

 

[Aristarchus]

Port are making the most of their momentum at the moment, this quarter is all them, really worrying.

North will pump either team next week

North will pump either team next week

Totally. They’re not going to be troubled at all. North are just several cuts above this year.

 

[Aristarchus]

If we're talking in tiers, North are "1a" to Crows/Lions "1b". Hawks would be "2a" and the rest like Freo/Port/Rich "2b".

 

[Teen Wolf]

This more like it. Didn't even get close to approaching finals intensity in the first game today.

Can't understand what Fremantle were doing moving the ball at snail pace when they don't have the skill or size to take more than 31 marks across four quarters.

Hope Port get a few 50/50 calls from here on in to balance it out a little

 

[hawkman]

Should really be a 40-50 point margin

 

[CURVE]

This is getting interesting.

 

[Cdog71]

If Haughton didn’t hit the post twice they’d be in front.
Special player

 

[The Nostradamus]

I hope hawks get up

They look cooked for next week

But port will get thumped too I guess

Win win

 

[CURVE]

Really hope this does into extra time

 

[parano1a]

Why did the Hawthorn defender rush a behind to level the scores? That was a monumentally stupid decision.

Ah well that’s a shame

Extra time would’ve been nice too

 

[Liam Boy]

Won't feel like it now but this is a better outcome for Hawthorn. They won't get punished with a top 4 fixture next year.

 

[Demon in Hell]

LOL Hawthorn.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Won't feel like it now but this is a better outcome for Hawthorn. They won't get punished with a top 4 fixture next year.

The fixture is in groupings of 6

They will be in the top 6 band

But they saved themselves the humiliation of being thumped by us

 

[Cdog71]

For all those who look at the stats…
If Strom was playing instead of Sholtz Port lose that game.

 

[mookieb]

Horrible conversion has cost multiple teams this year, but Hawks take the cake with blowing two finals games in a row.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Hawks didn't deserve to win. Bad kicking bad footy. 3 blatantly incorrect calls resulted in 3 port scores in the last though

 

[Air_Chester]

Why did the Hawthorn defender rush a behind to level the scores? That was a monumentally stupid decision.

If she’d kept it in play and Port scored a goal, I have no doubt there would be people saying she should’ve rushed it to regain possession. She was screwed either way.

 

[Liam Boy]

Remarkably Port Adelaide will now play North Melbourne for a 4th time before Hawthorn play us for a first time.

 

[Pravda Roo]

Lolololololol

 

[Aristarchus]

If you can't kelick straight when you have the opportunity you allow teams the chance to come back and wow did Port take that. Grats, Port, good luck next week.

Test for Hawthorn this off-season picking themselves up after kicking themselves out of two finals and GWS-ing it.
