We don't seem to have much run and the wobbles are all over us.
Pick 28 for a 32 year old Bennetts is looking a complete bust. Very timid footballer.
Yeah-pies more composed. A few turnovers when we are in open space have killed us. Hope we fight it out so not a blow out to them.
We just haven't been able to capitalise on our periods of dominance. Collingwood have. Almost game over.
There were some silly frees given away, but there were also some extremely questionable frees and some great tackling that went unrewarded.
Toogood and Dee Berry with uncharacteristically poor shots for goal really stung.
The main thing for me though has been the Pies run through the middle - running in waves at speed and we have really struggled to keep up with them.
Pies are a good team. We are a young squad who have done extremely well to battle through 7 games in 30 days and be in with a chance of finals.
I think Bennetts is ok. Would love another Lamb though. And just like our mens team we leave dangerous oppo players on outside of packs unattended too often.
I can only judge by what I've seen and I've been far from impressed. 8 disposals today standing in the centre for most of it and giving little support to Lamb and Blackburn.
I realise that others wouldn't be doing much better but she looks purely an outside player to me.
A frustrating game to watch. Umpire wise and playing wise. Such a hard start to the season for the team who has always been playing catch up since their season started. Hopefully we get a win or two by the end of the season.
The girls did not throw in the towel so that’s a positive. Agree they looked tired. Playing so many games in short period has impacted - very much like women’s Mlb victory side.
A win over Eagles to finish the season would boost the team for next year. They’ve done pretty well for a young squad, with a few close ones too.

I hope we challenge this as far as I can it was accidental contact while going for the ball and if Gamble was aiming for her she needs to be reprimanded for doing such a poor effort.
The umpire was there and didn't even think it was worthy of a free kick.
Just goes to show that the MRO has no faith in the umpiring of games. (Just like us supporters ;))
Yeh she got headbutted in the hip. Hope they can appeal it.
Tomorrow night's match in Perth will be televised on 7MATE from 9.30.
