Game Day

a bit late with this

Debutant


team

would love to see a bit more control in moving that ball, excellent game 1, not so much in game 2

 

[Munga]

Bombers look like they're just flooding our F50.

 

[jumperfan]

Pretty sloppy defence so far. Too many dropped marks.

 

[Munga]

Perceived pressure from the Bombers, we're fumbling all over the place at the moment.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Hate being too critical but our ruck always finds herself behind in ruck contests ... just doesn't fight hard enough to take front position ... one area we could improve

Caris or Fielder? Both seem to have good hands though.

 

[Munga]

Hammy for Anderson, damn it

 

[mighty_sainters]

What’s up with Patrikios?

 

[Nutsngum]

What’s up with Patrikios?

Foot injury. Out till like round 8.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

5 minutes from 3-0 cmon

 

[Munga]

Prespakis loves to dive forward hey. Almost took out some knees earlier.

 

[Munga]

F@#$ YEAH!!!

 

[marcus1232]

great job girls

 

[jumperfan]

Great win. Can't understand how that umpire managed to pull a free kick and a 50 to the Bombers out of that melee.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Half way to finals ha (would 6 get you in?).

Great start to the season.

 

[gubby88]

well done girls, just did what was needed to do to get it done!

 

[marcus1232]

Great win. Can't understand how that umpire managed to pull a free kick and a 50 to the Bombers out of that melee.

Fairly certain the reversal was justified Xenos tried to murder that girl

 

[CHBench]

Top of the ladder!

Admittedly it's hard to tell with the production quality at these suburban grounds.
Even if there was a replay it probably would have either been blocked by a tent or by the Picture-In-Picture again like the previous 50m was.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Gutsy win by the girls today ... toughed it out with some great tackling ... first win by a Saints team at Windy Hill since 1978

 

[Munga]

Watson big, 8 marks, 22 disposals, 452 metres.
Exon and Simpson did a good job on Prespakis.
Ground out a good win, didn't let up for a minute.
Shame channel Seven didn't show us singing the song, instead showing the Bombers walking off. Top footage.

 

[Saints2001]

Yes! What a good come back by the team they just didn't let Essendon run away with it after some early dominance.

Watson a rock across back and I loved we were able to stay strong in our tackling to get so many holding the ball decisions.

Bit lucky with that 50m to Darcy but swings and roundabouts...I'll take it. She's been good this year I thought.

Charlotte Simpson has been a great pickup too - slotted straight into the midfield and is a bit of a bull.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Caris or Fielder? Both seem to have good hands though.

A lot better in the 2nd half .... maybe they were given a message .... fought for that front position a lot more

Fielder first game so she should continue to come on

 

[saint66au]

Can we have a match day thread for W games like we do for the Mens games? Why is the whole womens season jammed into one thread?

 

[moirae42]

Very different side this year.

They are hard as nails this group. They look completely different.
