Review Round 9 v West Coast: Saturday 11 October @ Coopers Stadium (Norwood)

[Cromulant]

I still don't think it would hurt - particularly those who haven't come through the system...

Thing is, most will have from about now.

If.you dont know how to kick the footy by the time you get to the AFL, be it men's or women's, you never will

There's no doubt they do skills training, but it's less about learning how to drop the ball, and more about how to execute under pressure, etc.

Our handball skills are so poor, it's infuriating to watch. Especially as I'm convinced the smaller ball they use in AFLW bounces less consistently than the larger ball, so it's even more important to have passes hit the body.

Did Rasheed just pass it to Newman at exactly the same distance out from goal?

Good goal from Grace Kelly though

Rasheed probably doesn't have the distance. She's a great mark, but her kicking is pretty bad. Newman is one of our better and longer kicks.

Looks like a much better game by Tarlinton, but I've only watched the first quarter. Seems like she's gotten all her possessions, marks, tackles in the first quarter and nothing for the rest of the game.

and Hatchy getting caught HTB when she just sat there while her opponent held the ball to her. That's just lazy.

How do you pronounce it?

Always been pronounced as pretty much as it sounds, “Le-oozi” where as the commentator today was pronouncing it “Lu-tzi”

Unfortunately, the cupboard is pretty bare. We could put SLT back in the side, I guess? Beyond that we're talking about the likes of Smith or Cronin who have offered even less than ABC, or else retrieving Ballard from wherever the hell the club have stashed her.

No, not SLT, please! She’s been a serviceable past contributor but her impact is now as inconsequential as Bailey Smith without social media. We need to send a search and rescue for Ballard and her hopefully healthy knees.

Coaches votes where there is mostly agreement between the two coaches this week. Well done Newman for being clear second-best on ground!
