AFLW Round 10 vs Norf at Arden St

Remove this Banner Ad

A draw but a win for our girls, they finish top 4 and get the double chance. We have beaten the lions before and will have the belief that they can do it again. At the Gabba but we hold no fear.
We kick a goal after the siren,third ump rules a point even though the goal umpire gives it a goal.

Absolutely brilliant effort today. Norf and the ******* corrupt campaigner umpires threw everything at us. Some of our mids Mon, Grace and Ellie tried to do too much at times, selling themselves into trouble and we lacked composure in a pressure cooker atmosphere.

But wow when we get the ball out in the open we look awesome. We also got killed in the air, North took three times as many marks. The one thing I wish we'd clean up is blind kicks to the oppo. It's been a problem all year and in fact an issue since the beginning. Have a look ladies !

Geez tho, a minimum of two finals is going to be terrific for the development of the side. Win one and catapult deep into finals would be awesome.

Go girls !

Uncharacteristic number of dropped marks dropped by all our defenders today. Only 5 in Toal for our entire defensive group. If we had taken half of our chances it would have evened it up.

Think our game plan is take the terrain, back the team to defend from there and cause turnovers.

Miller and Sheerin still working out how to play together. Sheerin runned and gunned a couple of times but tries to do that one extra thing and turns it over. Poppy Kelly a tough game to come back.
The whole team seems to want ball in motion, rather than hit a short target.

A couple of players taking extra steps before trying to dispose. If they find balance a little earlier, look out Lions!
 
Anyone know how Shevlin is tracking? We need her kicking coming out of half back.

This was from one week ago. Sarah Hosking will be available for the first final. Shevlin could play but if not, should be available for the 2nd final.

Congrats Tiger girls. North had most of the momentum that half, found their kick mark game style in patches and looked to do enough, but our girls hung in there, managed to get the ball into enough chains and overcome some ordinary calls and our own tendency to give the ball back. It wasn't pretty, it was courageous at times, but mostly it was enough.

a big shout out to Meg Macdonald in keeping Jas Garner to 13 mainly ineffectual disposals, she's done a job on some very good players
love the way she gives her all for the team

Stella Reid and Emelia Yassir starting to show they belong at the top level
