Women's Footy The AFLW Thread

idk if it's strange wording by the article or just odd. But does this really need a 'please explain'? Zanker cleared her test, Returned very briefly to field, saw she wasn't right and safely withdrawn from the game in collaboration with the AFL's doctors

Dees explain: Demons' handling of Zanker head knock questioned

The League has issued Melbourne with a 'please explain' over the club's handling of Eden Zanker following a head knock

Agree. Since plenty of players get delayed symptoms it's not unheard of to pass the immediate test but fail later. Unusually short time for that turnaround but pretty simple explanation

Like the Lions game, I'll be surprised if we win this one. More of a chance than against the Lions, but without Zanker now our F50 looks very shaky.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I am excited. I'm very optimistic but not unrealistically so.

I don't care about last week, I don't care what may lie ahead next week. I just want to win

Random things i want to discuss from watching the footy this year.

That Ammi ad. First the guy in the last shot and his daughter are in gold coast gear, then they updated the merch in the ad when gold coast dropped their new logo but kept everything else. But then throughout the year added new stuff and at the end they just put them in casual clothing. What is going on here!

Also the trajectory of his shank kicks are so off for the things he's hit, at the moment the window

Anyways, discuss

Really need a big game from Harris.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Good goal by Fitzsimons. Had a good season just dropped off a tad in the back half

 

[PerfectFooty]

Really awful spoil by Adelaide there, just went to ground and allowed Hore to control the ball

 

[PerfectFooty]

Great shepparding by Bannan to allow McNamara space

Controlling the ball well by skills, pressuring the crows when we don't have it

 

[PerfectFooty]

Pretty meh tackle effort by Paxy, lucky not to be punished

 

[PerfectFooty]

What a slips catch by O'Heir

 

[PerfectFooty]

Fitzsimons seems to be going up to the stoppages more today

 

[jhong]

Bit of panic down back

 

[PerfectFooty]

God we would be lost at times without Hore

 

[PerfectFooty]

Actually hearing Mick on the bench is so insightful

 

[PerfectFooty]

Mahony has been okay as a small forward crumbing in the last couple of games

 

[PerfectFooty]

Also just on the crowd side of things, it seems a bit more disappointing compared to last week

 

[PerfectFooty]

Positive start, allowed Adelaide back into the game after tiring after bringing the heat. Handy late goal. Gotta reset and go again, don't allow them to have a run in this term

 

[PerfectFooty]

Wotherspoon is such an exciting player, so well balanced

 

[PerfectFooty]

What a flimsy spoil

 

[jhong]

Pearce will have a big shiner .

 

[PerfectFooty]

Love Bannan, but she's probably going to cop a rev up

 

[PerfectFooty]

Pissweak 50

 

[jhong]

Love Bannan, but she's probably going to cop a rev up

Paxman as well .
