AFLW Port Adelaide vs Sydney - Round 6 @ Alberton

[Duck Farmer]

That is now 2-13 and our latest loss was at home to a side that entered the competition at the same time as we did. I do not find that acceptable and if we cannot win another game this year Lauren Arnell's position has to be in question.

I want to make Lauren a 10 year coach.

Add in questionable fitness & certain players going backwards.

Complete lack of standards. Ewing should not be selected until she gets herself in shape.

Looks terrible and unfit. Has gone backwards from last year and giving us nothing. Standards are unacceptable.

Yeah looks like she’s been knocking back to many Bacardi Breezes.

And now we start to see the problems of getting smashed by the top teams in the first two games. The "Why do we bother" just creeps in that little bit to the players.

Some of Sydney’s girls made Matilda Scholz look small yesterday

They could be a very formidable team in a few years.

They've got some great talent albeit they're still a young and developing team.

People don't realise that NSW actually has the third most female footballers behind Victoria and WA. There is a huge talent pool waiting to be tapped into. Makes you wonder how GWS have floundered so much as one of the original teams.

I have something of a theory. No evidence to back it up but just a thought.

Our ball handling skills seem so poor compared to all other teams, even the poor teams. We are just so fumbly. AFLW footballs are smaller than AFL footballs. We know how cheap the club are, they try to save money on anything and everything. Is it possible that we train with the wrong size footballs?

That's an awesome theory. Some math nerd needs to look at training footage.

 

[Us against the rest]

We beat this mob by 10 goals and kept them goalless last year.

These are similar trends throughout all of our teams, guess we all know who the elephant in the room is.

 

[Us against the rest]

The whole club is starting to smell like losers.

A fish rots from the head down.

From the match review report:

“Port Adelaide's Gemma Houghton (striking) and Hannah Ewings (rough conduct), Sydney's Tanya Kennedy (rough conduct), Gold Coast's Elise Berwick (striking) and Richmond's Poppy Kelly (rough conduct) all received $400 fines”

Think Houghton was very lucky there
