Squiggle tips Lions at 65% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
AFLW 2024 - Round 3 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Dogs, Hawks and Port game we were ahead enough to warrant a win. Hawks started hot early in the season, Port were up against the wall and have been a different team since half time against us. Freo, Suns and Pies we lose a player in the first qtr (all important players as well). Bombers we play on their 150th. The Saints game is the only one this year that we have cost ourselves the win with inaccurate kicking.It isn't always woe is us.
R1 - Prestia going off in the 3rd was a game changer
R2 - Dogs inaccurate (like us last night)
R5 - Got Port at the worst in the first half, before getting them back into form after half time
R13 - Got Essendon still playing crappy before their mini revival beginning a week later
R15 - Freo after bye, maybe a bit rusty
Swings and roundabouts. We were a bit fortunate to hang on v Dogs, Hawks and Port as well.
I reckon he's having a good season and has shown his great kicking skill in most games. When he delivers inside 50, it ends up as a mark for us more than most.Cerra was our best mid vs Collingwood and one of our best players. That was the game before he got injured.
Was rusty but he'll be right.

Wouldn’t mind seeing how Hayes goes in seniors.Based on Voss making a point of saying "Weitering, Owies, Durdin & Martin" will be available,
means to me there will be some changes...
OUT: Plowman, Newnes, LOB, Honey
IN: Weitering, Stocker, Hayes, Owies

Isn’t he playing tomorrow ?Hopefully NikNak won't be back for this match.
How the ruck could you justify dropping Jesse after such a great game. Yes Honey would be the one.OUT: Kemp and Honey/Motlop
IN: Weitering, Owies
Not Motlop. He was very good and kicked 3 goals. Very doubtful he’ll be omitted.OUT: Kemp and Honey/Motlop
IN: Weitering, Owies
How the ruck could you justify dropping Jesse after such a great game. Yes Honey would be the one.
He's created some though (Motlop's first, created the spill v 2 Saints for Cottrell's).Easy decision, Honey has kicked 2 behinds in 2 games.
Pressure is nice, but you need to hit the scoreboard too.
Brave call.
Dow doesn't have the tank to play wing. That's never going to happen.We need to give Weitering another week off to make sure he is 100% right. The team below has more balance than against St Kilda. Dow can be explosive on the wing with his pace.
In: S.Durdin, Stocker, Dow, Martin, Owies,

Honey might not quite be there yet, but he's got something.
I guess the question is, how are we best off? Getting him more 1s experience, or playing Owies, who is better without the ball, but doesn't have the same ability to create scores like Honey?
This will be a tough game, no gimme, the Eagles at Optus stadium,
Now fielding a stronger team with, Naitanui tapping to Kelly, Shuey, Redden, Gaff, West it will a challenge for our midfield.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed the team is focused and smarting from the loss to the Saint. Go Blues
Genuine question inbound….
When Voss says ‘we need to play our way for longer’…..who specially is not doing it? Everyone? Can’t be everyone right? And what is being done wrong? When he says this? Are guys forgetting their role? If it’s just ‘errors’ then I’m not sure what the fix for that is. But is it concentration?
I'm not sure tank is his issue any more. I think it's just not his preferred game style. He prefers to frenetically win the ball and get it going, being highly combative at the contest and then escaping it.Dow doesn't have the tank to play wing. That's never going to happen.
And if you go back and look at Cerra's games playing for Fremantle a remarkably more impressive block of games than Dow hasn't even come close to putting together.Cerra's games against Richmond, Port Adelaide, Adelaide, North, Collingwood and Freo all better then any game Dow has played at AFL level.
