You’d think. But remember who were dealing with here.FFS can't they at least give us *one* 5pm start? These middle of the day February games are terrible.
2pm (ish) Saturday remains my preferred time slot. I get to go to the game, and then watch it again later that night.FFS can't they at least give us *one* 5pm start? These middle of the day February games are terrible.
No doubt getting more efficient ball movement will be advantageous, but I think you might be overestimating the capacity of other teams to counter how we go about it (also had we kicked straighter at goals earlier in 2013 I'd say the outcome would've been totally different).Apart from the consistently brilliant Hayley Miller and a couple of others, last game saw just about every possession get thrown on the boot the millisecond it was received (or rush handballed to someone's knees). We are going to have to get a bit more composed with our possessions when there is time or get found out by the better teams who will just load up with contested markers a kick behind the ball like GWS were doing yesterday to WC.
Our game on the weekend reminded me a bit of our men's 2013 team that was just so strong, fit, and high pressure, but not so clean and when we came upon a Hawthorn, they picked us apart with clean high possession football. I'm hoping over the next few weeks we can work on just a little bit more composure in sending the ball forward so we are ready for the finals.
By the way, did I mention how brilliant and classy Hayley Miller was again. It's like if there was a higher level league than AFLW, she would be in it.
There’s some serious buddy love going on here! And pretty decent analysis too.Apart from the consistently brilliant Hayley Miller and a couple of others, last game saw just about every possession get thrown on the boot the millisecond it was received (or rush handballed to someone's knees).

And I haven't seen any evidence yet that the heat has adversely affected their performance.
Sure, but with a key difference: speed. Scrambled kicks into space aren't so easy for the oppo to set up for without flooding so many back that they leave themselves with no chance to score.Our game on the weekend reminded me a bit of our men's 2013 team that was just so strong, fit, and high pressure, but not so clean and when we came upon a Hawthorn, they picked us apart with clean high possession football.
I suspect the time slot may be limiting attendance.It adversely affects my ability to actually watch the game in relative comfort.
Freo Oval is great on a summer's evening, but hot as balls during the day.

Good leadupI love watching the concerted attack of our women's team but like MH am a bit concerned about its very high physical demands, which may counter a cleaner style of play. Freo's and Brisbane's stats seem to indicate this - our tackles are one of the few measures where we outperform Lions.
That said, if we get it done and without injuries, it doesn't really matter how. Go girls!!!
Good leadup

Interesting footage from Brisbane training today, with their players practicing camouflaging in grass to avoid apex predators like Kiara Bowers.

In all seriousness looks like we lucked out with the Indigenous clash. The West Coast wings design against the light blue GC Indigenous clash jersey will be a nightmare.
Already conceded. You’ll find the towel in the centre circle at Freo Oval.Good leadup

Alright peeps, which one of you is gonna start the Freeeeeeeeoooooo chant if we’re up at the end of the game? I am seriously going to be listening for it here in Chicago. I better hear you. I can’t think of a women’s game where I heard it yet.
Who’s going to commit getting it started?
