AFLW Semi Final v Geelong @IKON Park 3:05pm Sunday 19/11

[Dory_77]

After arguably our worst performance in the comp, we back up against Geelong. We won comfortably at KP earlier this year but our form seems to have disappeared the past fortnight. Forward line has been a shambles (#ourDNA). My mid-season confidence has dissolved into MFCSS very quickly. We probably should win, but not overly convinced we will.

Geelong were impressive against the Bombers but lost one of their best forwards, Scheer, to a fractured collarbone. Their midfield looked great. Prespakis and McDonald both ran amok, will need a big game from our mids to stop them.

West for Campbell the only change for us. Don't mind seeing West back, but no GC means Tayla or Eden will need to cover some rucking.

bugger of a start

Zero composure again to start off.

This team are just fast track bullies tbh. Stinear has a winning percentage of 75% and only the 1 flag. Looking very very ordinary here. Already 13pts down. Season looks over

Half asleep start again .

 

[PerfectFooty]

Not ideal but still early days, even if we do win though i can't imagine going to deep in September against teams that can apply good pressure

 

[PerfectFooty]

Bannan isn't really the contested marking key forward, and i say that as a fan. Not really her role

Yeah, it's been a consistent weakness. Our run and gun style is sick when it comes off but we seem very susceptible to high pressure opponents

 

[Crusty Demon]

7 goalless quarters in a row!!

 

[Crusty Demon]

Our whole club can't score.

We also look unable to pick through the zones of better organised sides. Like the men's we're panicking into long down the line outlet kicks. Look afraid to attempt the run and gun with it not working

It's not, we got one in the 4th last week. But that's the only goal in the last 7, so hardly any better.

Not a great start , inability to score is a big issue so far. Kicking to advantage another .

Yeah I thought it didn't quite sound right when he said it. Just can't handle good pressure this team. Look in disarray tbh

inability to get any clean possession for ourselves. Very panicky, no real structure going forward, seem to have the forwards getting sucked up to the ball too much (again).

Sounds old fashioned but if they're not rucking i'd like to see Harris or Zanker just stay around the forward 50

Straight sets are like a warm blanket at this point

Lovely movement by Geelong

Nothing going right so far. Overcommitting at the ball and running into each other.

 

[Dory_77]

This is trash

 

[PerfectFooty]

Speaking of unstructured, our backline completely fell apart along with the chasing midfield

 

[Crusty Demon]

This is another embarrassing finals performance. What an embarrassing 2023 by the whole MFC.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Way to many holes, we look lost.

Entries like Geelong are getting now are what we where doing earlier in the season
