Women's Footy Grand Final, 2024 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[Hollow Knight]

This is the sort of finals non-performance that wins McClelland trophies.

Umpires as bad as our skills

Free kick counts don't need to be even but do we think the free kick count is an accurate reflection of the discipline of both sides?

 

[Nathan Barley]

How is that holding the ball?

 

[Tom14]

Would love a replay of a few of these HTB decisions!

 

[Elixuh]

North are clearly better atm but I reserve my right to blame it on the umpires

 

[LionsMaw]

The ability to control the ball by hand is poor. Whenever North miss handballs we give them plenty of time to recover.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Needed that

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Would've been sweet

Absolutely correct.

 

[010203]

A massive 2nd half is needed. Gotta make North Melbourne panic.

Ok but you have to change your team support to the Crows

 

[jumbojet]

Going a little better at the end of that quarter

 

[rwan566]

Bad umpire decisions on both sides, but we just look flat and they have structure but we don’t. They always have a player free for that handball back which is killing the surge football we like to play, I think we need to play almost 1 v 1 so they don’t have any free players if we want to win

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Given how little of the ball we had in that quarter, only conceding 1 goal is a kind of win. But we've a lot of work to do

 

[LionsMaw]

How many throws and pushes for north

As many as they want. I think the fix is in. Free kicks are massively skewed in north's favour.

 

[Jivlain]

That was difficult but we also didn't concede much there so definitely a chance if we can pull some levers and break them down

 

[rwan566]

Our players also look so reactive as if the girls just don’t believe they can win

The application of HTB seems a little......er......selective

Fox Footy pointing out we trailed by 17 at HT last year. I mean, I guess? Feels like a different sort of situation though. And the Roos'll be prepared

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Blockety block block

 

[Nunez]

Time to dance on ice!

 

[Tom14]

Belle Dawes good. The rest not so much.

 

[bato]

North are so good at getting the ball to dangerous spots. Always to the advantage of the player.

We're not bad at it but keep dropping marks when in good positions.

Belle Dawes good. The rest not so much.

Ally trying her heart out .
