Women's Footy GAME DAY Rd 7 v Carlton @ Ikon Park

[WaywardSonSon]

That whole 90 seconds was incredible. Houghton's vision to see Duffy, and to hit her with the handball. Duffy's poise to not jump on the ball on the 50 and instead grab the loose ball, find space and then kick accurately towards goal. Roux's tap, wow. Haynes' kick to hit a leading Houghton may have been a bit of luck but she didn't kick it too close to goal or too far from goal - it was right in the slot to give our forwards a chance. And Hougton's set shot was textbook also.

I know the women's game is still a way off the men's but our Freo boys could still learn a lot about playing smart attacking football from that 90 seconds. Do the basics well and it looks great. Mix in some Roxy Roux like star power and we'll be remembering it forever. Watching the ball come in to our men's forward line on the other hand, most of the time you're wondering what new way they'll find to fu** it up.

Haha, I love the subtle swipe at the Worst Australian with that post title!

and then Tiah bradbury'd the lot of them and got the ball to Gem, and as they say the rest is history

Sorry this post was kinda unnecessary but i just wanted to talk about it again haha

Not a Bradbury IMO
Tiah just did what a good mid should do in that position.
& it was GRAND!!!

Hey how many wins will we have to achieve to secure a home final?

All of them (two) I'd say.

Hmmm, that will prove to be a very difficult assignment..but I think we can achieve it!

We secure a home final if we finish in the top four.

It's not possible for both Collingwood and Adelaide to get another eight points each since they play in the last round.

So max possible is:
Freo - 32 (24)
Brisbane - 32 (24)
Collingwood - 28/32 (24)
Adelaide - 24/28 (20)

That extra game against West Coast has hugely benefited us, as did Brisbane beating up on teams early too.

One win should see us with a home final if not a top two finish, obviously two wins is better.

It was a great example of the old addage "you can have a poor/quiet game but a great moment".

Sorry, yep. Forgot to account for 3rd & 4th hosting 5th & 6th. Stuck in 2019 I suppose. Still, to host finals all the way through need to finish top 2 and preferably top.
