AFLW - Finals 2022

[bornadog]

Skills are shocking. Bad quarter, need to lift

[Bulldog Joe]

Collingwood are a class above our girls

[jazzadogs]

was Sabrina paddle a throw??

We are too loose atm and need to tighten up.

I thought so. Some tough (read: garbage) interpretations of standing the mark and holding the ball as well.

Structure and ball movement was better that quarter but still a fair way off the Pies in skill and ball-handling.

[bornadog]

Better quarter but can’t see a win here

[bornadog]

A bit smarter play and we could have snatched that

[josie]

Last quarter the girls showed a lot of heart. Almost stole it. Good experience for a young side. We need a few more speedsters and a bit more composure when delivering into F50 and we’ll go deeper into finals. Lynch was Herculean/Amazonian today.

[Hotdog60]

Just lacked a bit of composure in the end as BAD mentioned we could have snatched it.
I hope Fitzgerald can have a good off season because she has all the looks of an elite player but just lacks the fitness and finish.
I wish these girl could devote full time professionalism to this sport and they could come on leaps and bounds.

Thinking exactly the same thing about Fitzy all season. A gallant fightback though.

How was the front on bump from Lambie

How was the front on bump from Lambie

Had me roaring, then I thought the out of zone ump had paid a free against her for it (realised it was for the next tackle).

It's been a great season with lots of youth and development to look forward to. We only have two regular best 21 players over 30 (Rocky and Bennetts), our best players are either in their prime (Blackburn 27, Lamb 28) or young with huge output ahead of them (Lynch 22, Brown 22, Hartwig 20, Pritchard 20, Berry 24 to name a few).

We've put together a really strong list. We have filled the hardest positions with very capable players - Lynch and Brown in key defence, Edmonds and Moody in the ruck and Newton effective as a key forward. When compared to the rest of the comp, we are doing well here especially after losing Huntington and Toogood.

I think a lot of our improvement will just come from these younger players, rather than any aggressive trading. There is SO much growth in our team. I hope our draft (if there even is one) targets some speed and players with forward nous.

They fought back hard and I think cranked some of the form from early in the season that suggested they are on the right track and should expect to be in the mix if they perform. It looked like they were just going to make up the numbers after round 5 or so, but I think we’re almost ready to put ourselves right up top.

When the pies were up, they looked far superior in every facet of the game. When we were up, we looked more ferocious and stronger in the air. Need to show the full tool bag when we have the ascendency.

In all, a positive season. Set themselves up well for a big crack in the next year or two.

Good summary fellas. Didn't realise we had three 17 year olds playing today. Future looks bright if we can hold the team together.

Hopefully with all the expansion teams in the comp we no longer lose any players we want to keep.

There will continue to be pressure as they need to work or study as well until they are paid sufficiently.

Gabby Newton didn't have a preseason either so it was a very good effort by her. Will only improve.
