Women's Footy The AFLW Thread

[jhong]

Scrappy game, really missing Purcell inside

Really missing Heath as well . Very inexperienced back line for us .

 

[Headless]

Little unlucky there. Would have been nice to get another one before the break.

 

[jhong]

Heath out for the match .

 

[jhong]

Got to hold marks ladies.

 

[Dory_77]

Awesome clearance by Hanks to set that up. Please get the next one

 

[Dory_77]

Thank **** for that

 

[jhong]

Very brave win by the women all things considered, including some dubious frees to the Pies late .

 

[Lampers]

What ever the next level up is from “rub of the green” is what Collingwood got towards the end.

 

[MartinPrince]

Good being on the end of a close win against Collingwood for a change.

 

[Dory_77]

Also looking at other results very glad we don't play Norf this season with how our injuries are piling up.

 

[Headless]

Happy to take the points and run.

 

[Dory_77]

A bit sloppy to start with the breeze

 

[jhong]

Good to see Heath out there .

 

[PerfectFooty]

I would not want to be in front of Zanker when the has the opportunity to tackle with intent

 

[Dory_77]

Ughhhhh

 

[jhong]

A bit disappointed with that first q , really didn't take advantage of the breeze .

 

[PerfectFooty]

We look really top heavy, i'm sure they're not all on at once. But Gall, Harris, Zanker and Bannan all up forward (Also i say this every year but Bannan needs to roam up the ground more, just like she did when she took that exit kick wheeled and went)

 

[jhong]

Really wasting some opportunities so far .

Yeah not sure any got a mark inside 50 either. They're all fairly mobile too but not gelling today

 

[PerfectFooty]

I know kate does everything perfectly and we highlight the kicking, but executing perfect tackles as well

 

[Dory_77]

Well there's an i50 mark! Just reward for dominant start

 

[PerfectFooty]

I'd rather let Harris or Zanker who are both good contested marks fight for it and have more crumbing types at their feet

(knowing as i type this Gall bobs up and kicks one)

Agreed. I'd like to leave Pisano in the side for a few weeks to get some form. She doesn't get much ball but is pretty crafty with it

I wish the guys would learn from that. Hemmed in in the backline, tried some wide bombs and pin points. Didn't work, so chipped through the corridor with runners of half back and get the ball forward instead (that said they still scored a behind like the guys). But didn't keep doing the same shit against a really good defensive zone

Yeah smart working the ball down the field through short kicks and overlap.
