Should open up, I expect this to be a high scoring game (like both clubs over 65 points) by the end of the game. If we get close to a ton I'd be quite happy

Gonna be hard for the Hawks.

 

[Lore]

Who?

Quick search. Singer?

No, Steph Wales (our ruck) her brother had a bad accident in Italy and broke his neck, he's now a quadriplegic.

 

[Lore]

Gonna be hard for the Hawks.

Good

 

[ghostdog]

These commentators raving about Hawks' defence, okay, but how about ours to continually force the turnover and lock it in.

I hate Hawthorn.

 

[Lore]

Captains goal!

 

[ghostdog]

Toogood!

 

[Beerfish]

Booooooooo

 

[ghostdog]

Pfft. Light 50.

 

[Lore]

highlights

 

[ghostdog]

Wow. Quick whistle.

"Essendon are fighting for their life"

 

[Lore]

looks like there's a solid breeze tonight

 

[Harlequin]

No, Steph Wales (our ruck) her brother had a bad accident in Italy and broke his neck, he's now a quadriplegic.

Got back Tuesday night.
Thank goodness he’s home

 

[ghostdog]

That was too easy. Perkins wanted that more.

 

[Beerfish]

Gone.

 

[Lore]

so contested rn

 

[ghostdog]

Far out. Bonnie Toogood's face, meet earth. Surprised there's no concussion test after that.

 

[ghostdog]

Lol. Play on Hawks.

 

[Lore]

Far out. Bonnie Toogood's face, meet earth. Surprised there's no concussion test after that.

I missed the incident, she didn't look too happy afterwards but nothing obviously broken

 

[Lore]

Some of this commentary is really random idk if it's refreshing or not

 

[Lore]

the ball keeps "squirting out" of the contest

apparently it's an "AFLW try" to superman dive on the boundary line with ball in hand

"she should never handball again after that" (ball went OOB)

 

[ghostdog]

I missed the incident, she didn't look too happy afterwards but nothing obviously broken

I thought she hit the ground hard. It looked careless.

 

[Lore]

I thought she hit the ground hard. It looked careless.

yeah. I think concussions are less likely with facial contact, as compared with hitting the side of the head/jaw

 

[ghostdog]

Ugh. Why kick to a 2 on 1? Why?

 

[Lore]

Is it just me or has the colour of the AFLW logo darkened to practically red? Used to be more apricot orange

 

[scythe]

Tough watching, that quarter.
