Women's Footy The AFLW Thread

[PerfectFooty]

The glory of AFLW where we lose 20 seconds to a throw in and another 20 from an out of bounds that vanished into the crowd... add another throw in again

 

[PerfectFooty]

Would have been nice if Fitzsimons could have pinched it for us, but honestly we did not deserve to win off playing one good quarter

 

[Headless]

Deflating.

That also said i think Fitzsimons played a really good underrated game today, her and Hore would be my standouts along with Maeve trying to take the game on with aggression

Gall to some degree also tried really hard

Chaplin and Hore the best for me . Just too many experienced players way down on what we expect from them .
From what i've seen so far this season , North look slick and favorites for me , Lions and Crows will be around the mark , as for the rest ,us included , roll the dice .

Adelaide look a little cooked for mine, but they should still pose a challenge if they make september

Like i said, without Purcell we ain't contending. North are too good anyway. Quite ridiculous one side is head and shoulders above every other side. Today was disappointing but not surprising. We've just been going last couple of games.

Also not to be harsh on our older players, but i'm not entirely sure what Pearce offers anymore.

Thought the same today. We wound up with Harris doing a fair chunk of rucking. Scholz is good but Pearce didn't look up to it today

Been thinking it for a while . The other options are too inexperienced and quite young. .

I think campbell can ruck, she just needs a good chop out at this point in time. Gall and Harris can certainly help with relief, Zanker could also take forward 50 ones if needed

Campbell is very young , huge potential . Harris can pinch hit in the ruck , Gall maybe , i'd like to see Zanker have a run through the midfield as her aggression , if controlled , could be used to our advantage .
With the possibility of Gillard and Goldrick making a return to shore up our defence , i expect us to account for Daisey's Eagles , even accounting for the great job she is doing there .

IN - Gillard, Pisano, Goldrick

OUT - Campbell (injured), Johnson (omitted), Rigoni (omitted)

Hope Pisano has a decent game, or is at least kept in for the next couple of games. She's not a massive ball winner but is usually a decent user and has some forward smarts. Our giant forward line needs some crumbing (that is Hore or Hanks following up their own kicks)

 

[Headless]

North is really good.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I loved Libby, but she certainly is going to annoy me on commentary as an ex player

 

[PerfectFooty]

I think Hanks put Edo's name on it on the kick. Little bits of talk like that are underrated but very good

 

[PerfectFooty]

Of course in hard conditions for talls, the talls all start really well

 

[Dory_77]

Really good by Taylor then. She's really come on this season

 

[PerfectFooty]

Zanker got the sticky mitts to start this one, clunking everything

 

[PerfectFooty]

I see west coast have got their AFLW equivalent of the whoo hoo guy in the effects mic today

 

[PerfectFooty]

You know i said she had an underrated game last week, i think Fitzsimmons is having an underrated season thus far. Going good

 

[PerfectFooty]

Getting my weekly "I like watching Kate Hore play footy" post in

 

[Headless]

We're really good to watch when we're on. Excellent quarter so far.

 

[Headless]

Five goal quarter would be really nice if we could manage one more here.

Pretty good effort from Bannan.

Promising start. Hope we can go on with it.
