AFLW Autopsy Round 5: Saints blew us off the park

Very glad Bonnie is back.

We look slower today

6-20 at quarter time

Yeah the saints got the run on us. Looks like our ground set up isn’t optimal for this match up

6-32 at half time… hm

I find it difficult to tell on the tv. The flat camera angle not taking in the positioning makes it challenging to see. Wardlaw keeps leading but she's got good support from the players up field too. Have to say though, we don't look like we're at the same level as the Saints.

Losing GG isn’t great. Lost Brooke last week.

 

[bommer16]

I see amber has moved on

 

[bommer16]

I thought she was a handy fwd

 

[Lore]

I see amber has moved on

Yeah she was traded last year. Scotty walked to the draft when hers fell through too.

It sucks. She's among our best movers of the ball.

This game is getting ugly.

 

[ghostdog]

This is going to be unpopular;
Prespakis could be worth trading.
Yes, she find heaps of ball but she lacks speed and agility to move the ball away from stoppages quickly. I also feel like drafting Belloni has brought in a similar player type, though I haven't seen a lot.
Probably gonna get flamed for that...

Our defenders look slow, too.

 

[bommer16]

I think a turnover of some coaches is needed.

 

[Lore]

Gross

8-60

I didn’t miss much in that last quarter apparently.

 

[bommer16]

How long is preseason Lore?
We’ve had some injuries too.

 

[ant555]

Looks like we need a rebuild

 

[Lore]

How long is preseason Lore?
We’ve had some injuries too.

Starts the Monday after the draft more or less, two weeks earlier for first to fourth years. Goes until the week before R1, so about 4.5 months or thereabouts. Less if you play finals

Ok thank you. So they’ve had plenty of training. The girls looked good at the start of the season but injuries are starting to impact now. Causing structure issues. One goal all match is a bit ordinary. Hope next week is better. They just look a bit off the pace.

Oh sorry. I didn’t realise what thread I was in. I’m not sure what the technical length of the girls’ preseason is, I suppose they have a longer off-season to balance out the shorter season. Used to start in about May and overlapped with the VFLW season by a couple of weeks, I guess it’s the same now so still a 4.5 month preseason but the draft is now in mid December instead of May.
