AFLW Autopsy R6: Sunk by the Dockers

[Lore]

 

[Atavistic]

I hear Zach will turn up and take shots at goal right before the game starts.

 

[Lore]

Should get into the third quarter before the prelim starts

 

[ghostdog]

Hoping our disposal and ball movement is better this week, and pressure on the ball. If we can get the result today, that will go some way to restoring confidence.

 

[Lore]

Looks exhausting

Apparently it’s hot over there, barely any stoppages and first score only just kicked with 5 mins left of Q1

 

[ghostdog]

Ugh. That hurts.

 

[ghostdog]

McCarthy is a bull.

Not sure who our tall defender was on Brisbane then. Needs to find body.

 

[ghostdog]

This is looking like last week. Playing the game in our defensive half and unable to keep possession when we get it.

 

[Lore]

red time

 

[ghostdog]

Murphy, what the? This is actually making me cranky.

 

[ghostdog]

What do we need, Lore?

 

[Lore]

A cool room and regroup

 

[Lore]

FRE 4.0 24
ESS 0.0 0

Short quarters suck. Run us in circles for the first 12 minutes and then the floodgates open and it’s 4 goals in 4 minutes

 

[Lore]

**** off

 

[ghostdog]

Bonnie doesnt get a free for arms chopped

 

[ghostdog]

Angry Cain.

 

[Lore]

37-1 at half time

 

[Lore]

It sounds like the umpiring is a bit shit but maybe we’re losing our cool and doing dumb stuff a bit too.

 

[bommer16]

Perhaps game should be evening if too hot.

Perhaps game should be evening if too hot.

You’d think so but they don’t seem to care about this stuff when they schedule AFLW

 

[Lore]

We did have a hot game in round 1 and came prepared for that but idk what’s happened since, aside from a heap of knee injuries

We looked great against GWS and Richmond, but Sts and now Freo don't give us as much time to dispose, and our disposal is poor as a result. Our pressure on the ball and the player can't match them. Could be the temperature, as you've said, but we were the same at Windy Hill last week.

Apparently Natalie had a go at them at quarter time. She hasn't gotten the return she wanted. Hopefully she can extract some intensity and composure.

Yeah a pep talk about giving each other space and locking off or something.

We also had +2 in defence at the end of the second quarter and 4 players waiting at the end of fremantle’s kick down the line

It sounds too conservative as far as strategy but I’m not sure if it’s because we’re up to our 9th debutante already

 

[ghostdog]

Some of our skills have been deplorable. That kick to no one in the middle from Gaylor just encapsulates how bad we've been today. Now I am cranky.

Ah, didn't realise we're so young.
