AFLW 2024 AFLW season - Geelong & the greater league...

[Burtyl78]

Hawks very clever in using the width of the ground.

This is not looking good.

There is no width

 

[Burtyl78]

Is there 1000 there max?

Can't concede in this last minute ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Lucky.

Can't concede in this last 45 seconds ............................................................................ ok, stabilised a little late in that quarter.

Reckon Bowen should be a shot for next Captain once Meg hangs them up.

Not Morrison?

There is no width

There is when it's only 16 per side

 

[cats_09]

At 3/4 time, the assistant coaches came out, had a quick chat but were off the field before the first siren

Just Dan & the playing group for the final message & instructions

There is no width

I understand we have a narrow ground - but Hawthorn have consistently shown smarts in moving the ball across the field in order to get it forward. They've done it really well.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Terrible start, Hawks have their tails up, their spirit looks good,

Darby hasn't stopped trying, not always effective but does put the effort in.

 

[cats_09]

I know that we're seeing a number of one sided scorelines this season, but one clear area of improvement across the league, is the players disposals - especially their kicking and the length on their kicks

 

[Cursed Cat]

Not Morrison?

Could definitely make an argument for Nina, Georgie, AMac.

I just really like Bowen's grit though, personally.

Nice finish Shelley Scott!

 

[cats_09]

Claudia with the guts to leave her opponent just before

Reckon we need to keep taking those risks this quarter

And damn, what a goal

 

[Cursed Cat]

Gee Parry has flown for her marks tonight.
Unlucky not to have clunked one earlier on.

Hang on - AISHLING!!!! Great finish, breathed some life into this game for the Cats.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Hawks have been whisking it out of the middle with very little resistance, really costing us.

 

[cats_09]

How many times have we seen Hawthorn tackled, no clean disposal and play on called

 

[Cursed Cat]

A couple of our experienced defenders in Emonson and the skipper Meg McDonald have barely been sighted tonight.

Fair enough our midfield looks thin without AMac, and Hawthorn have been taking it out of the middle with little pressure on them - but you'd expect these two to show something. Unfortunately, they haven't.

 

[winty]

Incorrect disposal doesn't count if you play for Hawthorn obviously.

How many times have we seen Hawthorn tackled, no clean disposal and play on called

Happens to Cats most weeks. Rarely get the rub of the green.

 

[cats_09]

At least we get this highlight

 

[cats_09]

Incorrect disposal doesn't count if you play for Hawthorn obviously.

Or the obvious throw in front of the umpire just then

 

[Cursed Cat]

That was woeful Shelley Scott.
She's been ok tonight, but that was the very definition of blazing away.

 

[winty]

Front on contact, diving into someone's back or high tackles aren't paid if you wear the poo and pee either.

I'd be curious to see TOG stats after the match, but wouldn't be surprised if the captain has been on the bench for a bit tonight

Needed to get the ball back to Ling

 

[Cursed Cat]

Dumb, dumb play Rankin.

She's been terrible tonight.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Kenny's left foot was elite then.

Well done Aishling, she can hold her head up.
