Women's Footy The AFLW Thread

[Dory_77]

V the Swans

INS - Shelley Heath, Sarah Lampard, Saraid Taylor

OUTS - Georgia Gall (injured), Gabrielle Colvin (omitted), Denby Taylor (omitted)

I think this is a must win for us .

Agree, at least if we want top 4. Brisbane and Geelong after won't be easy games.

Port have done us a solid by beating the Hawks . Let’s take advantage of that and beat the Swans today.

Two sydney players drop the ball with a second of prior, Heath bends down to win a hard ground ball gets pinged. **** this rule's interpretation in AFLW sucks ass

Umpiring bizarre to end that quarter. They could've blown about 10 incorrect disposals either way, or just blown for a ball up, but 'let the game flow' as it turned into a rugby breakdown.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Fair goals to Zanker and Hore today

 

[PerfectFooty]

Also Zanker having a laugh with the goal umpire after is priceless

Need to start paying those, along with a relaxing of this HTB rule if they want the competitions skills to evolve. Game is becoming a rolling maul at times and players are going to develop habits knowing they can get away with throwing or rolling the ball out. It's also made congestion worse and allowed more time to be wasted that could be scoring

Rated Harford as a player, not so much as an AFLW coach, Special comments commentator and today, not a play by play commentator

He is rubbish, plenty of better callers in vfl, local leagues that could be better suited to AFLW product.

 

[MartinPrince]

Wasteful last quarter but good result after quarter time not letting them kick another goal. Hopefully B Mackin & Gall in the mix for return.

 

[Dory_77]

Miss a fair bit of the game but from what I saw we looked much better; Heath I think is v important to our midfield by having someone with some dawg in there. Hanks/Hore/Fitzy all good players but don't have the same aggro imo
Wotherspoon also looked pretty good re composure etc. Taylor did some good defensive work. Wholesome for Rigoni to get her first goal.

I would rather the Casey Brit 100 times more than him

Goldrick plays such a combative game that she always seems to get hurt long term or minor

I didn't mind him, seemed genuinely into it and seemed to know the players fairly well.

She is full on , usually expect one brain fade a game from her , but the good outweighs the oops every time .

 

[jhong]

IMO any attempt on a flag needs Goldrick fit and firing . Her attitude and will to get the ball is what is needed to beat the Roos , who i expect someone will have to beat to win the flag .

 

[jhong]

Sat v Lions .

INS – Mackin, Mahony
OUTS – Goldrick (inj.), Johnson (omitted)

Big test this one, need to show something on the road

Pretty much locks in top 3 if we win, avoiding the firing squad of Norf week 1 in finals

Would nearly prefer to play them first week than in the prelim.

Been very ordinary interstate this season. Lions looking solid lately too. This has L written all over it.

 

[MartinPrince]

Lions all over us, lucky not a few goals down

 

[jhong]

To much fumbling from us .

 

[Crusty Demon]

Lol. How are we not 5 goals down? Getting pumped just not on the scoreboard
