True.

How far over the goal line does the ball need to be ?

 

[tigersab]

Beth Lynch best for us. Others having a mare. Been a shit year.

 

[toenail63]

Nice goal Greiser. needed that one.

 

[SunshineBoy]

You can see the fevola influence

 

[Eraser]

Would’ve hoped that with McKenzie out we’d take the opportunity to get some solid midfield minutes into Grieves but nope she’s stuck in Siberia.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Umps anticipate the frees

 

[toenail63]

Geez Bacon, think it through!

 

[tigersab]

What a waste bacon.

 

[tigs2010]

Lmao bounced it while tackled

Much better quarter that quarter, took it up a notch and outscored them. Not pretty but slogging it out and getting some looks inside 50.

 

[Phar Ace]

Geez Bacon, think it through!

Retain in better - short was the go.

Trying to use the ball, at last. Not pretty, but at least it's not being banged long!

 

[AstuteTiger]

How bad is the commentary biased much

 

[toenail63]

Retain in better - short was the go.

They did just the same going down their end, but the freo girl was under pressure, bacon had a bit more time to have options other than to bomb it forward to a lone freo defender with no opponent.

 

[Yze does it]

You can see the fevola influence

but can't mark..
P. Scott disappointing too.

 

[Eraser]

Dempsey is back to early season form. Had a good game last week cause Collingwood didn’t take advantage of her loose disposal but you can’t play the bottom 4 every week.

 

[tigersab]

They gave up in the first quarter. Need some big changes in off season. This is putrid.

 

[tigersab]

Let’s handball to a teammate with 4 oppos around them. Terrible thinking.

 

[Eraser]

Freo aren’t a great team but they have structure and spread from stoppages and they just made it abundantly clear that we have neither. Glad to be brought back down to earth after some ok games, hope we don’t forget all this when we pump Gold Coast next week.

 

[Phar Ace]

Dempsey is back to early season form. Had a good game last week cause Collingwood didn’t take advantage of her loose disposal but you can’t play the bottom 4 every week.

Quite fumbly today, giving it to outnumbers, not what we had come to expect from her.

 

[toenail63]

Cleary getting 12 disposals in her first game was pretty good to see and part of the good from today. The bad is missing Ellie and placing faith in Bacon in the midfield, just the 8 disposals there and not the answer. We tried hard especially second half better but were outclassed by team having more top end and better depth players, which could describe many teams currently in the comp.

Players who went OK - Conti, Dempsey, Dallaway, Egan, Lynch, Kelly did Ok against Strom which I didn't think she would so good on her, Cox and McLelland did ok at times but not often enough and like most others just cameo's, can't say anyone else matched it or beat their opponent and had their colours lowered by their opponent, especially that first half.

Can't stop a team like today when you're getting being beaten in contest, possession, forward entries and the one almost unforgivable, losing the tackle count 74 -51 when you're getting so few of the ball is damning.

Hopefully v the Suns next week, against another bottom 4 team, and the wooden spooner, we can finish on a high. Lucky that we didn't finish with this game being our last for the season and a chance to reset one last time.
