Well that was close. I only caught the last 10 mins but we had a chance to pinch a win but weren't good enough.
You were on the money BJ.

The girls were pretty unlucky yesterday.
The winning WC goal was an accidental backheel in the goal square while the player was falling over, and Kirsten McLeod kicked a goal less than a second after the 3 quarter time siren.
We need to improve our skills across the board - kicking, marking, decision making - but that's to be expected when we are fielding such a young squad post-expansion raids.
The one thing I have noticed across the board is that the younger players are looking a lot more polished than in the first few years.
Within games you can get more running plays with very good skills by hand and foot.
It will be chalk and cheese when there 10th anniversary comes up.

Our girls have struggled since round one. A lot of fumbling and tackles that don't stick today.
I know we're not playing the best but a little consistency from the umpire wouldn't go astray.
I'm just about had enough of how the women's games are officiated.
Five goal beating.
I saw a few of the decisions close up and they were baffling.
