Women's Footy Preliminary Final, 2022 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[MSB ROYS]

Going to need a huge effort in the last quarter. Play our best and we can do it.

 

[The Zork]

There’s such an emphasise on rewarding the tackler in the men’s game, at least there is supposed to be.

But almost the complete opposite for the women’s. It’s hard to watch as someone who doesn’t see the aflw all that often.

Orla has played a shocker today

 

[winged1]

The umpiring has been pretty mediocre.

Tauhu and Ellenger going well, some good players being well held.

Would be nice if they used a bit of width and stopped turning back inside every time, everything in the corridor

 

[Ceebee]

Feel the game has got away from us ,

 

[LongLion]

We have been far too fumbly. hate this scragging that goes on in the women game.

Orla has played a shocker today

Yeah sh'e been poor.

Hodder also, but she's been not great all season - or at least, no where near her 2021 form.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

We're still completely in this. Get a cheeky goal and then we're one off.


Its not like we're not had any opportunities, clean it up a bit and we can easily score some goals.

 

[Lazza16]

11000 here at a guess

 

[FLVanLandingham]

eugh its just sitting their way, we did pretty well in two contests bit the ball fell to them each time, to advantage all the time

that is so annoying!

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Ball Game

 

[Hollow Knight]

That’s that I’m afraid.

Great season in the face of some disproportionately unfair challenges.

We’ll be back next year.

 

[winged1]

All over. We have been beaten in the ruck, our backline is too slow to press right up like that.

 

[Hollow Knight]

We’re the only team with the ability to match Adelaide at home in a final.

Grand final will be a fizzer I think.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

pretty good, but for us to win we need those entries to get a goal not a stoppage.

and NO we can't be missing now

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

HOW THE **** DO YOU MISS FROM THERE?

 

[bato]

Embarrassing

 

[FLVanLandingham]

come on girls, get a goal from tis forward pressure!

edit: annoying we're getting those scragging and holding calls now...

 

[FLVanLandingham]

THERE WE GO!


a quick goal from the center and we're right in this, COME ON GIRLS!

 

[Hollow Knight]

One more goal makes it interesting.

 

[bato]

Just need to keep kicking it long. No short passes

 

[LionsMaw]

Have now turned off the telly. Going off to do something productive that isn't me raging at the screen.

We could've made the GF had we played better. Oh well at least I now only have to wait until August for next season

 

[FLVanLandingham]

You know the AFLW is a success when the fans rage just like they do for the mens

gotta love the emotional attachment, come on girls! we can do this

 

[FLVanLandingham]

she took out her legs I thought, surely

 

[bato]

Yikes awful injury
