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

[rwan566]

Negatives: Bates wasn't quite her best today. More at a normal player's level than her own. Conway unusually fumbly. Wardlaw couldn't catch a cold. O'Dwyer well held, and Hickey not as influential as she has been.

On the other hand... Best game Grider has ever played. BOG for mine. Monahan huge. Daks and Bodey did well. Cathy just trucking.

Umps were fairly consistent between the teams, but were completely inconsistent with every other game this season. Put the whistles away before the game began. Refused to pay forward 50 frees no matter what happened. Dees adjusted to this quicker than us.

Ah well we get Lutkins back and go again.

New season starts in august so no lutkins for next season either

I don't think Starce is saying that we're going to lose players. I think his beef with the whole expansion thing is that the new clubs don't develop enough of their own talent but get to pillage established clubs who do all the hard work of developing players only for that hard work to go and benefit another club.

I think the only players of ours that are known to be on the new clubs radars are Anderson and Ruby Svarc. For some reason am wondering if Monahan would go straight back to Victoria if the Hawks or bombers showed any interest. My preference would be for her to stay but am curious about whether there is a likelihood.

Monahan would be a loss because i dont see a ready made replacement in the academy or local league. Harmer isn't ready to hold key post imo and shifting Grider messes up the structure.

As for the loss well the blatant free kick to Bodey that wasnt paid at the start of the game looks important.

Or Gabby Collingwood. But Lutkins is clearly a massive loss
