    Re: AFLW Match Day Thread for 2019

    I had training last night so finally watching now.

    1. The commentary is making if almost unwatchable. 2 weeks ago we had a commentator who was calling every second kick a ‘banana’ when it clearly wasn’t a banana. Now we have ‘locate’ disease...a quick look at the stats would have shown whoever it was that the ability to ‘locate’ was not the problem. The ability to actually win the ball - inside and outside the contest - was a pretty massive problem though.
    2. More on the commentary. It is actually ok to criticise a player (or two). Everything is unrelentingly positive but poor skills, fumbling and generally being lazy in transition are poor skills, fumbling and laziness. They aren’t speed, good attitudes and ‘working hard on their game’.
    3. Man oh man we are struggling to exit the d50. A little bit of a plan would be nice to see.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    It's all looking a bit sad at half time.
    Can I be one-eyed and say we aren't getting the rub of green.
    But we are not playing well and it looks as though the Lions have done their home work on us.

    I think we have been out coached but I think that is taking a bit off the Lions as they have been excellent
    They just get a lot more to a contest than we do

    That isn't it.

    We are so:
    1/. Tentative around the contest.
    2/. Unable to exit the ball from D50

    Thet we genuinely give ourselves no chance.

    When you look at the Brisbane forward 50 and there are 10 blue jumpers to 5 white, exactly WHO do the girls think they are going to kick the ball too? Yet kick it they do...and what a surprise, it bounces straight back in. Brisbane suck us in and cover the exits - we panic and kick it straight to them...down the other end, Brennan is 1v2 (or worse) but there is ALWAYS an outlet player for the Lions to hit...and our girls seem to just be standing in the corridor and letting them find the target.

    Maybe our ability in the contest over the past couple of seasons has papered over some of the cracks but man oh man this is frustrating...

    And as I type that, we butcher/miss the unmissable goal (3rd q). I really do wonder where this has all gone so wrong in the past couple of weeks but the way we are playing cannot possibly be the plan.

    As McCarthy finally kicks our first. Rant over.

    A bit more endeavour that quarter but still got shut down half way through.
    Can a short season turn into a long one.

    Re: AFLW Match Day Thread for 2019

    I was at the game last night and it appeared to me that the lions just worked harder to get into space. Whenever they did get the intercept mark they had players on their own to move the ball downfield. That, and their execution was top class. Back to basics.

    3qtr time. freo by 6pts. A real ding dong battle in 30deg heat. Great to hear a doggie supporter with the 'doggie, doggie, doggie' chant after one of our goals.
