AFLW R6 DOGS V CATS @ Mars Stadium GAME DAY THREAD
Round 6 • Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats
Saturday 1 October 2022 • 2:10 PM (AEST)
https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/n...dogs-v-geelong
We’re heading up Ballarat Rd to our second home for the next hit out and an opportunity to get back on the winners list in Rocky Cranston’s 50th game, against her old club nonetheless.
We are 1 game up on Geelong, but their percentage is in better shape after they belted St Kilda last week. This should actually be a really good indicator of where the girls are at, are we as good as we’ve looked early, and likely to stay up the top as the results start to shake a few out of the tree in the current group of 5 on equal points, or will we settle into a group just below the really high performing teams.
A win goes a long way to putting us right in the mix, I think.
I can’t attend this week, but would have loved to jump in the car and get up there for it. Instead I’ll be spending a fortune on my daughter and god son at the Show, having forgotten to check the fixture before booking tickets.
Dogs by 9 points

Re: AFLW R6 DOGS V CATS @ Mars Stadium GAME DAY THREAD
It's a very even competition through the middle this year (the best and worst are still a long way apart, as Adelaide showed last week).
The top 5 on the ladder have 4 wins out of 5, then there's another 4 teams with three wins and another 4 with two wins. Having some relative easy beats has made it harder to separate the top teams, especially when you don't play everyone once.
We need to take advantage of our weaker draw and get some finals experience for our women.

Hartwig a late out due to a neck spasm during training, Hunt back in.

Ball camped in our half at the moment, Geelong are defending well but turning it over at the half forward line.

Wow the great wall of Pritchard.
Newton is a star her leading patterns are A grade

Re: AFLW R6 DOGS V CATS @ Mars Stadium GAME DAY THREAD
Let ourselves down by not putting more impact on the scoreboard despite our dominance, still leading though.

Cats are playing very well, Shelley Scott has been a good inclusion up forward and Morrison is covering for Prespakis.
We have moved the ball well but struggled with our final kicks into the forward 50 - a uniquely bulldog approach.
Pritchard, Lynch and Grant have been very good, with lots of ball in our defensive 50.
