Women's Footy Round, 8, 2022 - West Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

[Lockie]

Commentators doing their best to talk up West Coast despite the scoreboard

 

[Grasshopper17]

Well we're there now... Let's see!

I'm more interested in cracking the ton actually

 

[FLVanLandingham]

ok whatever, didn't want the 100 anyway...

 

[Grasshopper17]

I shouldn't have said anything...

 

[AFLQLD]

I love the way the girls just know instinctively where to be on turnovers. It has turned into a training run because we just run harder both ways.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

Conway what the hell!!

struggle like an eel, get the ball up and get the final goal....

eugh

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Damn it Bodie

 

[Hollow Knight]

Great job girls. Incredible.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Poll is up.

 

[iBeng]

Damn that was enjoyable.

Only negative is a possible shoulder injury for Orla

 

[lionraven]

Eagles with the moral victory there. As we all know thats the one that ultimately counts. Nobody scores 100 points in 15 minute quarters against West Coast!

 

[FLVanLandingham]

whatever that was just a silly scoreline goal.

ruthlessly played. A worry with Orla going off.

Hodder turned it on in the second half, and was everywhere.

these are the types of scores we should be getting (or at least the goal:behind ratios..) good to see us have a better accuracy.

I feel we didn't pass Freo on the ladder though with the eagles goals.

Correct. 3% short. Top 4 is handy though. A whole 7 day break before the North game. The girls literally won't know what to do with themselves.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Top 2 still achievable. Need to

1. Win both the last 2 games
2. Hope Freo beat Melbourne next week, but the closer the better
3. Hope Freo either lose to Gold Coast or don't win by much, or if they do win by a lot, we win by more to go ahead of them on %. It's very tight.

 

[iBeng]

Hodder playing on ball may be legitimately more dangerous than her up forward...

 

[Dalions]

If Freo could get up in a close win next week against Melbourne and we have a decent win over North.
We could be in second place by the end of next week.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Hypotheticaly if we do finish 4th, who do we play on the ladder?

 

[FLVanLandingham]

unless the finals format has changed from last year (for all i know it has....)

As the ladder stands, we'd vs North in the first qualifying and then crows in the prelim.

here is last year's formula

 

[Dalions]

Hypotheticaly if we do finish 4th, who do we play on the ladder?

I believe it would be 5th

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

I believe it would be 5th

And we host at the Gabba I'm guessing, so if positions stay as they currently are we'd be playing North in week 1?

 

[Section 5]

Hypotheticaly if we do finish 4th, who do we play on the ladder?

Basically a knock out finals system
Top two have the first week off. They then need to win two to get the premiership cup
The other 4 need to win 3 games
Not as difficult to win from 6th if you are in form at the time
I believe first week it is 3 v 6 with 4 v 5

Completely forgot there's another round after next week

Confirmed biggest ever winning margin to go with the highest score
