AFLW Rd3. Geelong vs Adelaide Sunday 17 February, 2:05pm, Norwood Oval

North raiding the competition and picking the best half dozen or so players might have something to do with it. According to Champion Data, 3 of the players we picked up pre-trade were ranked above average or better, compared to 10 for North.

And then North complained with the draft picks they were allocated, especially not happy that we got 3 in the top 10

The AFL/AFLW told them to grow up as they went hard raiding the other clubs and couldn't honestly expect to then be able to have dibs at the best available youngsters also

Understand what happened and, to some degree, think sticking with local fair will be a good choice going forward however, I wonder whether our list building team may have looked a bit harder at some standout talent. The standout talent on our list, outside of the brief glimpse of nina morrison which promised lots for the future, just isn’t up to most of the other teams. Love to see a midfield with cranston and morrison in the same though - think they’ll complement each other nicely.

That passage of play encompassed everything wrong with the team at the moment. Work so hard getting the ball down the ground, yet grubber a kick inside 50 and the Crows run it down the ground with ease.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Yep...usual offenders
Geelong board is an echo chamber... nothing new there

 

[Hello Kitty]

Excellent by McMahon!

 

[Boxhead_31]

How do you see the two respective methods have worked out?

Will be seen after this season when the new clubs come in and can take players, will the North players hang around. Our list is mainly built on players from around the Geelong area so would be less inclined to leave

 

[Turbocat]

Could do without the social comments... mother of 3 crap... it leads into all sorts of stuff especially when referencing Phillips being a mother of 3. Leave that stuff for off field and stay with the football please.

Umpire #2 is having a mare.
McCarthy taken around the neck then after coming off of Philips to make the play but was paid as a ball up

 

[Hello Kitty]

Yay!!! Free kick Geelong! Come on Girlz, move it Forward for a goal!

 

[winty]

If that was a free to Geelong surely it's a 50m penalty after Perkins kicked after the whistle.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Great finish there from Orr

 

[Hello Kitty]

ORRRRR!!! WOOHOO!

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Cranston, took the hit to get the goal. Nice finish too by Orr

 

[rocker_oz33]

Why can't they a target kicks straight to the opposite team way to much.

Wow that was goood goal woooohooooooo.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Kate Darby what a snap

 

[winty]

We're on fire!!

 

[rocker_oz33]

Darps slots it woooohoooooo.

Good clearance Rocky.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Crows have more pace that our Girlz, but that last passage of play from D50 picked up the pace!

Yay!!! Rocky? Was that Rocky? Rocky to Darby?

EDIT: Yes, saw in replay

 

[Turbocat]

Man just move it forward... stop and cross back into a tackle just dumb

 

[Boxhead_31]

McDonald would be leading the BnF so far you'd have to think

 

[winty]

Someone sneezes in the immediate vicinity of Erin Phillips and she gets a free.

EDIT: Yes, saw in replay

We cheated a bit there I think... the Crows may be starting to feel the heat as well

 

[winty]

We won the quarter!

Yeah she is without doubt a gun but there is a bit of the Adam Goodes about how she is umpired the moment she is in the vicinity of the ball

 

[you pick one]

Huge difference between the mens and Girls game is I just turned it on and we kicked two goals,in the mens it's always the opposite result.
