How good is the crowd !

Great start

 

[Mister B]

Tell you what, could have done with this midfield at Casey this arvo!

 

[TheMase]

This ground actually could be really good size for AFLW.

Bec Privitelli with a free kick and makes no mistake with the shot on goal. She writes her name down in the history books as our team’s first goal kicker!

This is great! Lochland killing it in tight. Ham smashed that saints girl. Cynthia Hamilton a goer. Morphett looks good - might be the second best ruck in the club ATM after the rubbish the VFL rucks dished up........

Our team seems to be noticably smaller than the St Kilda girls. St Kilda seems to be better at the contested marks as a result.

Rubbish htb on Kennedy, good to see the umpire bias transferring across to the girls.......

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Do people think it's bad form to compare our girls to the guys? Because Chamilton is our AFLW equivalent of Papley.

Where’s millsy’s lid from? Rate it

Cynthia Hamilton’s gonna have a good highlights reel when she gets it right.

I saw one of the women get the ball at the centre clearance, run around the back of the pack and hack the ball forward and I immediately thought "the womens team have found their Luke Parker"

Watched a couple minutes and number 2 was a beast. Very agressive/physical.

Great first quarter from our girls. Lochland in and under so tough and a good extractor. Kennedy competitive on a wing. Ham looks threatening. Hamilton just waiting to tear this game apart. Morphett looks very competitive in the ruck. Our transition from the kick ins excellent through the corridor. Not sure who is taking the kick ins but she's very precise.

But the most pleading aspect is we are playing the Sydney brand. Tough at the contest and playing with heart. I'd say we have exceeded expectations for a brand new team.

Full house must about

 

[Mister B]

Well considering how nervous they would have been, I think we did quite well in the first quarter. Plenty of F50 entries but just as we can be critical of the men, the entries were pretty poorly directed. Midfield looks strong and positioning down back was good.

C Hamilton is feisty as * but I can see her getting rubbed out by kamikazeing into a pack. Don't want her to change a thing though.

 

[TheMase]

Enjoyed that, great contest.

I think it helps that the womens competition isn't as full time as the mens. So a player who has been in the competition for 5 years does not have years and years of being in the gym for hours every day. It means those players have less of an advantage over newer players like you get in the mens game.

 

[Mister B]

Will be interesting how we run out the game. Faded in the pre-season game and the other new inclusion teams have so far faded late.

 

[Mister B]

******* arsey goal from St Kilda. Should be embarrassed to celebrate that.

 

[Mister B]

Done some dumb stuff this quarter. Late hit then was stupid. A few of the girls also getting ahead of themselves with their playing on.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Silly free to give away. Saints opening up a bit of a gap...

 

[Mister B]

Don't think we are coming back from here. Look ok through the middle but our forward line looks completely impotent.
