AFLW Rd 7 GWS vs Geelong, Fri. 15th March @ UNSW Canberra Oval, 7:15pm

[cats_09]

No sign of teamwork that half. Seems we're really reactive and just hoping for things to happen. It's either we're outnumbered at the contest, or we're outnumbering the opposition and unwilling to put in a block to give the girl with the ball more time to dispose of the ball better, and the ball just rebounds way too quickly the other way.

Bec Goring is putting in a ton of work, running from one forward to another as we just aren't getting the players manning up.

To often they have loose players, and ultimately we are running off one player to cover another which is why they have spare players up the field.

Need to start manning up and working for each other, not just expecting someone else to step up

The girls are up against it in this match.

The tend has been they play their best footy and hit the score board in first halfs of games.

No goals in in the first half not a good sign.

Hopefully they use the ball the ball better in the second half and put a few goals though the sticks.

Interesting that Phoebe McWilliam is 33 years of age. Listening to her talk, she sounds like she's about a third of that age.

Yes - watching her play and then listening to her, it's hard to connect the two

 

[winty]

As poor as we've been, we're only 13 points down. Get the first goal here in the first few minutes, and it's game on.

 

[cats_09]

Hoare started in the ruck, but they have pushed her onto the bench to start the second & third quarters; she hasn't been aggressive enough at the contest and been too reliant on just getting a tap in the hitout

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Umpiring is pretty average, GWS player pulls the ball in, holds it to her chest while on the ground and being tackled, with zero want to get rid of it... ball up.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Hit a target please.
Give the forwards a chance.

 

[cats_09]

The area of our game we need to work on the most is our decision making - that's what lets us down the most

 

[cats_09]

Any idea what that free was for? At the other end of the ground and there's no screen for replays

 

[rocker_oz33]

Bullshittttt freee .

These umps .

 

[winty]

We might break the record for the lowest score ever. Don't even look like scoring a goal here.

Flat as a tack.

 

[rocker_oz33]

For in the back .
They didn't show the replay.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Lol a mark?!! Ball went 37cm!

Fell in her back apparently.

 

[rocker_oz33]

A chance for a goal .

Wooohooooo.

 

[winty]

Holy crap! We might score a goal.

 

[winty]

Might be onto something with this reverse psychology thing. Might try again - can't see us winning from here....

 

[rocker_oz33]

That was a mark to us , not paid...FFS.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

2 cracking kicks to advantage then.. first 2 I've seen since half time last week!

 

[rocker_oz33]

Nice play come on slot this FFS damm it .

 

[winty]

That was a Dusty fend off then - right to the face. Like Dusty, they got away with it too.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

It's like they've only just realised in the last 5 minutes that if they lose this their season is over..

 

[rocker_oz33]

Bear grills should od marked that oh well.

They showed abit in that Q.

Come on giving having a crack in the last.

That was right in front of where we're sitting - seen more than a few GWS infringments in this area not called.

I liked the free kick we got earlier in the same area and the GWS player dropped the ball at our feet, but that was all good
