Morrison out?
Hmm, injured or managed I wonder, she was in our top 3-4 players last week.
Bit of a blow.

Illness (leather poisoning).

Interesting that Erin Hoare has been named since she finished the game last week in a moon boot.

Hoare being named surprised me - hopefully she is ok and doesn't re-injure her foot

Re Morrison - from the Geelong Addy:
Nina Morrison will miss the clash with school commitments

Can we find out which school she attends and force them to release her from said commitments for Sunday's match - surely football is more important than school...

Good luck today girls.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Good start from the Cats.

 

[cats_09]

Decent crowd here already

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Snuffing a few chances though, early lead in this comp would be massive.

Need to clean up our entries going forward - feels rushed

This is really the first game I've sat down and watched, how much of that is just the level of talent and skill though?
I agree otherwise, our use forward is pretty ordinary.

It's exactly about skill level - some of the girls have grown up on football while others are converts from other sports and you can see that is execution.

In 10 years time I expect that we will be seeing a much improved skill set and level of match as we start to see the girls who are now growing up playing football and realising that they can continue to play at a much higher level once they turn 16/18 etc.

 

[Gydafud]

Need to capitalize on the domination

 

[Mad_Hatter]

This is really hard to watch...

 

[Mad_Hatter]

In saying that though our AFL team (mens) could take a leaf from these girls tackling, good pressure and tackling and getting reward for effort.
They've won more holding the ball frees in 35 minutes of footy than we did all year...

First goal (score) kicked at the Fred Cook end

Exactly - the skills may be lacking somewhat, but can't fault the endeavour & intensity they bring; what should be non-negotiable they do really well

 

[Gydafud]

Needed that steadier

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Boyd can play, is she one the AFLW team has picked up?

 

[cats_09]

Happy to take a 11 point lead into half time

We need to have a good third quarter because it does seem that the team kicking to the Bob Bennett end has been controlling the play.

There's a slight breeze here but it feels more across the ground rather than necessarily strongly favouring either end - I'm standing on the wing across from the grand stand and the wind is almost straight onto my face rather than one side getting colder than the other

No surprise I suppose that those out there today and on this list genuinely look a step above.

 

[cats_09]

It's funny - in standing on the wing near some Collingwood fans and they are super annoying. Apparently Collingwood can't do no wrong, they've questioned every free kick against them, they laughed of my suggestion of kicking in danger (player has their head over the ball to pick it up and you kick in their direction kicking the ball into their head from less than half-a-foot, that is dangerous), and they keep complaining about our defenders holding & touching their forwards.

They are still complaining now that one of the players needs to tell the umpires what happening - during the second quarter they were complaining "look she's touching her", apparently just touching.

Do they not realise that players actually touch players in a match of football? It's not like it's a non-contact sport

 

[Gydafud]

Get the feeling that one more goal for Geelong will be enough.
