AFLW - Game Day discussion - Season 2021

[bornadog]

I didn't see the last quarter probably just as well.
Davey was damaging and we need someone to curb her influence. It looked like we couldn't get our flow going and I'd say the Pies did there homework and were ready for the long bombs into the forward line. We needed a plan B.

Midfield was well and truly beaten, so we couldn't get any drive out of the centre to give our big forwards some chances.

[mjp]

We really need another midfielder while we wait for our girls to mature.

I don't really agree with this.

We need a PREDICTABLE method of getting the ball out of D50. During the 3rd when the pressure was on we had no clear method to exit...so the girls starting guessing, playing on unnecessarily and forcing the ball to a contest (at best) or kicking directly to the Collingwood mids set up behind the ball.

It starts by allowing the defenders to play their roles and defend...we might need a plus 1 (or even plus 2) pushing back...but at one point (despite the appalling video footage) I think we were plus FIVE in d50. So...who are we going to kick it to?

Very frustrating. Pretty fixable though.

That may be the case . But after Blackburn and Lamb there is daylight to the next group.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Missed the game today but sounds like a huge bummer. Really think we have the talent to be the best side so to see a one sided loss is pretty shocking.

Pre-season i don't think many had us top six. Huge upside for us.

So Hunt and Rennie are the outs

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Qtr time - North lead 18-1 after a couple of late goals. Similar forward thrusts but north more dangerous.

[Happy Days]

Cant watch at the moment but I’m assuming they had the wind?

Wind doesn't seem to be favouring either end.

[Hotdog60]

Can't believe the umps missed two head high and last touch with the handball and a maybe push in the back. North got the rub in the second.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

half time. north leading 26-15. Outplayed them that quarter but north made the most of opportunities. We're right in this game.
2019 no. 1 pick, Gabi Newton is having a break out game.

certainly did.

[Happy Days]

Got eyes on it now. If there’s really no wind at a game at Hobart then that’s all the evidence we’ll ever need of climate change being real.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

3 qtr time- north dominate and lead by 21 points with Kearney goaling after the siren.

[Hotdog60]

North getting an absolute arm chair ride with the umpires since quarter time some unbelievable decisions.
And that goal on the siren it was more high on Lamb the holding the ball.
