AFLW Port Adelaide vs St Kilda - Round 8 @ Alberton

Hate St Kilda. Smash em

 

[Coobk001]

Battle for the 8.

Win and we will be odds on to make it.

Hard to get a total gauge on how good they are but away from home you'd expect a big challenge.

 

[Marmozet]

We’ve always matched up very well on St Kilda. Beat them last year at Moorabbin and in our first season we only lost to them at Moorabbin by 2 points*

*Gemma Houghton kicked a goal in the dying stages to put us in front but the goal umpire wrongly called it a behind.

 

[Marmozet]

Melbourne just did us a massive favour today.

Huge 8 point game coming up for us now.

Yep, St Kilda losing yesterday makes the equation pretty simple for us. Win our three remaining games against St Kilda, GC, and GWS, and we basically can't miss the eight. Lose against St Kilda but beat GC and GWS, and it'll probably come down to percentage.

Exciting times and I just get the feeling our squad won't shy away from the pressure and some big moments.

If we do happen to sneak into the 8, will the coach's message be that finals are scary?

I reckon this group of girls will absolutely relish it, nervous, definitely, but definitely excited.

I think this coach is more likely to say: Finals are an adventure!! Let’s just throw ourselves into this and see how far we can go with it.

 

[Coobk001]

Can't afford another slow start. Stick with them early and I reckon we will get it done.

[Marmozet]

Calling it now: this one will be a draw!

It wouldn’t be a Ports AFLW season without a draw.

They got lucky with the fixturing, big battle for the 8 in the Friday night slot. Hopefully the game and girls live up to it.

I'm looking forward to actually barracking full on for Port Adelaide tonight!!!

Matilda Scholz plays footy tonight!

For anyone interested the RAA have a two for the price of one ticket deal going. You need to be an RAA Member of course.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Biggest game Port Adelaide FC have played in this year.

Would be massive for this side to experience finals football. Make it happen!

 

[Marmozet]

Going to be hard to kick a winning score with no Julia Teakle tonight.

 

[Coobk001]

Going to be hard to kick a winning score with no Julia Teakle tonight.

To be honest, she was great when Houghton and Saint were out of form, but after her hot start she's copping attention and struggling. I'd say the bigger impact isn't the score she'll kick, but the fact she won't be there to command the same attention she has been taking away from Saint and Houghton.

9th v 8th, just has belter written all over it.

Carn the Girls!

We’re on Free To Air.

Ports up 6-0 15 mins left in the 1st quarter.
