AFLW Autopsy Round 8, 2022: Hawthorn vs GWS, Sunday 16 October 3.10pm Henson Park

[Dazza the Viking]

Can we string more than 2 passes together

 

[Dazza the Viking]

We have had 10 marks in 3 quarters

 

[The hands of stone]

Done well to still hold the lead here

 

[Sixpence]

Why are the throw ins 20 metres in from the boundary?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

That free was soft as butter

 

[StillAtLarge]

Awful free. Aflw umpiring is horrible

 

[Sixpence]

Hipwell! Game winner?

 

[StillAtLarge]

Great finish! Love her confidence to own the responsibility

 

[Rimsy]

Why are the throw ins 20 metres in from the boundary?

To stop the ball just going straight back out, encourages corridor play.

 

[Sixpence]

Yeh, no idea what that free was for.

 

[TFFM]

The giants player was way over the line when she kicked that

 

[Lotus]

So nervous what a tight game.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Got a bad feeling here

 

[BugZapper]

Dammit

 

[Sixpence]

Bugger

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Not going to win too many games if you only take 13 marks for the whole game, one Giant player took 8 marks

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Hawks didn't play well, so 1 point isn't bad, but that last play om call had been called back all game

As I said on the main board.

We didn't play our game. We are a quick team but spent the match going long to noone

 

[spudmaster]

Oof, what a finish!
Commiserations Hawks, but it's all a work in progress and the last three wins have been beaut!

 

[muldercs]

Almost pulled out an away win/draw.. Shame the umps were a bit hash at times in Giants gimme range..
Very proud of the girls.. Some great talent there for the future.
Jasmine Fleming is going to be a major star.. She didn't see a lot of the ball today but what we saw is pure class.

 

[Davo-27]

So close to 4 in a row, great game again by the girls, a few nerves and rushed decisions cost us late in the last quarter(mainly the last 2 minutes), but the more experience the less nerves, the girls are doing great, I'm so happy for them.

Start of the year, if we had an opponent who made us play on their terms, we lose by 5 goals at a minimum.
To only lose by a point shows how far the girls have come in such a short tine

 

[Sixpence]

Really thought we were going to win that after the Hipwell goal, shame they got a quick reply. Great effort though.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The last play on the back flank, where they had the ball killed and we allowed the Giants to play on and just wheel inside 50 to score. That was horrible.

It was, but in the scheme of things it's the first time since rd 4 it's happened.
gws has also underperformed greatly this season

That play on had also been called back all game

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Want to note Sophie Locke. She shirked a contest in the first and it was quite ugly she's young, but it was obvious she knew it was her turn to go.
She made up for it. Alas least the next 5 she was first to the ball and tackling/pressuring like a maniac
