Preview Round 1 v Brisbane Lions @ Flinders University Stadium

[hey shorty]

What do you mean?

It's being played in Noarlunga.

He kept referring to Rochelle Martin playing at her home ground because she's from Westies.

Good finish! Some great performances today by Gould, Hatchard and Ellie Woodland with 4! Great defensive play by the girls.

They kept saying stuff like Martin the local gets a big cheer as she comes off the ground a West Adelaide product we're at Noarlunga today.... Would have made sense if it was South Adelaide product

 

[Firewalker]

Anybody else getting annoyed with the commentator referring to Noarlunga in the province of West Adelaide??

Oval’s so big you sometimes think it might encroach into the south east but west

Seriously though they shouldn’t play AFLW games here unless they redevelop the ground and make the playing surface smaller

Great start to the season.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Top of the ladder!

Where we belong.

and yet we are playing four of the first six games there apparently!

News to me I’d heard at the ground maybe round 6 against the dogs had been moved here from Norwood that’s all

Probably a COVID social distancing thing.

Bigger ground, more space to spread out and sit n your car lol.

Just going on what the commentator said.

According to this, we are at Norwood next week https://www.womens.afl/news/78688?_ga=2.255955595.1897900506.1640833504-212683284.1568261667

" The Lions will now host Carlton at Maroochydore next Saturday, while the Crows will take on North Melbourne at Norwood Oval next Sunday."

The only non cricket SANFL ground not used remains is Elizabeth. Wouldn't mind a country SA game location.

 

[cmndstab]

I'd say most likely the commentator just didn't know what he was talking about. Just saw we had four of our first six games at home and figured they'd all be at the same ground.

Free kicks were 19-8 in the end, Brisbane would feel a bit hard done by there. I remember a couple of poor decisions/non-decisions but nothing too much.

It’d be interesting to know what the frees looked like at 3Q time. I thought Brisbane got a bit fatigued/undisciplined in the last quarter (understandably given they were 2 players short) and their tackling got sloppy

Wallaroo?
Edit: Only cos my retirement house is there

 

[marvin]

A good win without dominant performances from Erin or Chelsea. Gould was a real presence, and Biddell was impressive. Good to see Jones start the season in some reasonable form too

 

[hey shorty]

Phillips might play a bit of a decoy at times, draw her defenders out.

HTB decisions were a bit over the shop
Especially when pressure was on
In all I wasn’t frustrated
Think a good job overall

 

[CrowinNT]

As has been suggested
I’ll take my NT hat off but Ponter needs a big coaches input if she doesn’t focus on the basics replace her
She doesn’t have the blood talent her rellys had as has no awareness they all did

 

[Caputo]

Thought the Crows tackled with intent. They were very aggressive tackling and deserved the frees.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Gawd the barracking for Brisbane in the commentary box is a bit much!

Jason Bennett in the box like last year?

I'd rather a Dwayne Russell commentated showdown than a Jason Bennett commentated Brisbane game.

Don't think it was.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Holding the ball when you kick it.

Amateur hour umpiring

Umpire was completely blindsided and couldn't see through the body.
Just guessed.

 

[Dirty Bird]

They are not stopping the clock. What's going on?

Isn't the rule in AFLw that the only time-on is between goal and the ensuring resumption of play
Then normal timeon rules in the final 2 minutes?

Was originally after goals only I think, but going into the 2017GF they changed that rule I think?
