    Put in a big effort for no reward. Owned that 3rd quarter and got bugger all for it.
    It's going to be tough against freo and I can see up being 0-3.
    Fair. Helps if you have a plan that isn't 'put more and more and more and more and more numbers around the ball and crowd up the 50m area that you need OPEN in order to score, well, what do you expect.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Re: Aflw 2022

    I have said this before, but I question the coaching. We have no fluent ball movement, our skills are way down and we just can't score goals. I know there are excuses, but GWS are not exactly the best team going around. Very frustrating game to watch

    Very good question I thought exactly the same watching the game.
    The Giants girls all looked absolutely ripped.

    In the presser Burke said Ellie Blackburn had 2 mins in the centre after half time as she was cooked.

    After Tomorrow nights game, the Whitten Stand will be demolished, so last chance to see the old stand.

    My partner who is a keen runner and had COVID over the NY period has only just started to be able to run 3-5km at a time (she was comfortably doing runs of 10-15km) and she is struggling with her breathing going 1/2 rat power... she would keel over having to run with the intensity footy players do even though her fitness levels would be comparable to the average player.

    You wouldn’t think it speaks well to us being able to run out a 2nd game in 5 days.

    I'm more worried about the skills and decision making in general than the fitness, but this burst of 3 games in 10 or so days will be difficult.

    Only two changes for the next game, will be very tough on those players who are backing up.

    Also as a counter to Mantis, my first run ~10 days after covid diagnosis was a PB 3km time trial. I haven't been able to explain it, but it does show there will still be a lot of variability in the way the team copes.

    Saturday night's game against Richmond has been shifted to Sunday 1.10pm
    This will be the last opportunity to see/photograph the old Whitten stand before it is torn down.

    A lot of inexperience in that team.

    A beautiful night for footy though.

    Great effort girls to limit freo to 3 scoring shots.
    Keep going.

    Re: Aflw 2022

    Gutsy effort - you can see if we can keep most of these players and clean up the skills a bit we are building something in future seasons. Love the tall blond - Bennetts? And our ruck player pretty good too. Usual culprits Toogood, Lamb, Blackburn doing well. Fitzgerald getting her hands on it a bit which we need too. Freo do not many opportunities and from what I’ve seen of this year are one of the better if not the best team. Very skilled.

    Heart in mouth stuff when Cranston and was it Toogood went for same mark. Thank goodness both ok. For those of you who’ve played what’s the etiquette there, if 2 players and either could mark ball, so you do not KO your own? Leave it to the forward or to player in front?

    Let’s keep it up this half - go girls!
