AFLW Season 7 Round 3 v St Kilda @ Moorabbin, Sunday 11/9 2:10pm

[Dory_77]

A great escape at the G after nearly kicking ourselves out of it. The Saints have had an easy start to the year, facing two expansion teams, but put them away easily so are in good form. They've been a team we've struggled against in recent seasons, not often losing but the games are usually a contested slog.
Our midfield is looking much stronger this season, particularly Eliza 'Basketball Background' West so even if they go the slog route we should win comfortably. Patrikios is a handy inclusion for them again this season, but I still think we've got the talent across the park to win this easily. Straight kicking would be nice for once.

Team's yet to be announced but Maddie Gay has a niggle and will miss. Goldy a chance to come back in. Would be great to slot her in but don't think we need to rush her. Ali Brown maybe comes in?

Not related to Ben is she?

Don't think so. Her hair is too straight.

Team for tomorrow is in:

 

[Dory_77]

Gametime! Keen to watch a team willing to kick somewhere other than the deep left FP.

 

[Dory_77]

Great start so far. Pressure and skills both looking very good. Harris on early.

 

[Dory_77]

Can Mick Stinear coach the blokes too? Geez we look good today.

 

[jhong]

Wekk what a blow out . Need a big % win too for later in the season.

 

[Headless]

Quick reply would be handy.

 

[jhong]

Don't think the coach will be happy with that 2nd quarter . A bit all over the place , and a silly free given away by Libby.

 

[Dory_77]

Eugh, typical St Kilda slog now. I guess keeping up the pace from the first quarter would be hard.

 

[Dory_77]

Silly mistake there by Lampard.

 

[Headless]

Not an ideal couple of quarters.

 

[jhong]

No goals in 2 quarters . Just seems really messy all over the ground.

 

[Dory_77]

Not an ideal couple of quarters.

Yeah, frustrating. Expected this kind of slog though, it's how the Saints always play us. Turn it into a scrap, flood back and try for a quick rebound.
Hopefully they're cooked now and we kick straight again

 

[Crusty Demon]

Amazing first quarter. Next two quarters utter shite.

 

[jhong]

Been our own worst enemies the last 2 quarters . Not very impressive at all.

 

[Dory_77]

Pretty shithouse defending there to leave Shierlaw all alone inside 50

 

[Dory_77]

* Kelli is painful. I thought she was funny in a nuffy kind of way, but Jesus she just can't even call what's in front of her properly at all

 

[rwan566]

Will be a good game next week when you play brisbane

 

[Dory_77]

* watching us play the Saints. Always the same shithouse game except for 10-15 mins where we dominate.

 

[Headless]

0.10 since quarter time.

 

[Crusty Demon]

6 goals straight then can't even score a goal in the next 3 quarters. Wasted opportunity there.

 

[Dory_77]

0.10 since quarter time.

*0.9! But our last 10 scores were behinds. Our goalkicking is so annoying. 9 scoring shots to 5 after QT too.
Bloody frustrating game after quarter time. Needed a bit more composure going forward against the flood.

 

[jhong]

How many times did the girls have a set shot and not make the distance ? How very Melb , play a quarter then spud it up for 3 and still win.
