Two players i would like to see have good games against Port are Cynthia Hamilton and Molloy. Both were quiet in our last outing. Had they been able to get into the game, we would've accounted for the Blues.

i think it's really time that Cynthia plays a cracker. She has a bit of a Heeney vibe to her this year. Supremely talented but just kinda lurking around half forward, struggling to get into the game. I am hoping she can get really involved and influence the game.

I think Molloy has added some star factor and she has kicked some rippers this year. But she's so heavily tagged and I think is struggling to really dominate. Maybe some stints one out of the goal square will give Port something to think about.

Molloy needs more support but we're not mature enough as a team to give her enough. In the meantime she's just doing her job and playing out of her skin and by far our best player on the park.

That's where our second year players like Hurley, Ham and C Hamilton need to step up.

I'm not expecting much from Ham this year, she's just not had enough training and match time with her injuries. But the other two definitely.

 

[SwansProudly]

Out: Lochland (knee, because of travel and saving her for next week), O'Sullivan (omitted)
In: Anthony, Mitchell

I'm going to preface this comment by saying I don't know AFLW teams well enough to do a deep dive on match ups for specific opponents but:

I think having Smith, Morphett, Lexi and Mitchell in the side is sacrificing a bit of agility and speed for height, which I feel is not as valuable in the women's game. I've really enjoyed watching O'Sullivan play and feel she is a bit stiff getting dropped this week.

agree re O'Sullivan

Quietly confident.

Just finished watching the Adelaide v Melbourne game. Was a good watch ad they are two teams that are well ahead of the pack.

Think we should win this arvo assuming we handle the local conditions alright.

I saw the last bit of Adelaide-Melbourne and it was good, tough footy.

Is our match not being streamed in NSW? Bloody annoying if that is the case because I don't have TV.

 

[Mister B]

For all the talk of how much of a star Hamm was going to be, seen very little to suggest she will anything more than just a player. I know there are probably fitness issues because of injuries etc. but looks a long way off it.

 

[RampeRobe]

Chloe Molloy needs a left foot..

 

[Mister B]

****ing hell. All the play and cannot kick straight. Every level of our club and none of them can kick.

Has to be the injury issues because she was great last season.

 

[Mister B]

Let's go. Sadly, the goal brings the ball back to the middle which will probably advantage Port because they couldn't get it past halfway for the last 8 minutes.

 

[Callipygian]

Finally, got my stream sorted (in NSW). Glad Hamilton got that goal. Ham has serious goalkicking yips. That's not the first terrible shank for goal she's had this season in her couple of games.

 

[TheMase]

Not sure about picking the ball up for the opposition free

 

[Mister B]

Non controlling umpiring calling a throw that was clearly handball. Put your ****ing whistle away unless you are 100% you muppet.

 

[Callipygian]

How good was that pick up off the deck by Morphett!! That was scary from a player her size.

 

[Mister B]

Our ball movement off half back is sexy at times, then it all falls down going into 50 and we get burnt on the rebound.

Well done Priv.
