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

[winty]

Not sure D. Moloney is the answer in there - move her out of there and being in Thorne who has more height or JCG who has a bit of grunt to her game

Or give Bowen a run in there - there's not much of her, but her tackles do tend to stick. Or even give Kearns a run in there. She loves the physical aspect of it with her rugby background.

I was thinking Kearns also

We've seen Scheer go through there at times, obviously not available at the moment, but Kearns has a similar sort of approach at times and you don't want to be standing in her way

I know our ruck situation isn't going to get any better this season, but we've got to do someething about the combination we're in at centre bounces

It's been way too easy for opposition teams to clear from there this season, and seems to have got easier since A. Mac's injury last week

Not sure D. Moloney is the answer in there - move her out of there and being in Thorne who has more height or JCG who has a bit of grunt to her game

Certainly doesn't help when Darby puts in one of her absolute stinkers

 

[winty]

With Aishling's goal in that quarter, she's now equaled her goal tally from last year in half the amount of games.

 

[winty]

We've had 32 disposals inside forward 50 for 2 goals. Freo have had 9 for 3 goals.

Needless to say we need to tidy that up a bit.

 

[cats_09]

Certainly doesn't help when Darby puts in one of her absolute stinkers

There's 4 rucks in the league averaging over 30 hitouts per game - Strom is one of them

Darby, Bragg & Featherston (if used in there) need to be crashing into her and just making it hard for her at every opportunity

We're not going to win the hitouts tonight, but we need to not let them have an easy time of it

 

[cats_09]

Was hoping we'd see something different in the guts to start this half, but it's still Darby, Moloney, Morrison & Pres

 

[Cursed Cat]

Sunday will be her 50th game as captain - so definitely been around a while, helped transition this team to get to the level of playing off in a prelim last year

But does appear to be getting close to the end - would still play her ahead of Rankin though

Me too - and who knows, she could be carrying an injury.
I won't write her off just yet by any means, and I think she has been an excellent captain.
Hopefully she rallies.

 

[cats_09]

Can we stop kicking to the same pocket of players

Switch and go the open side

BTW - Kennedy is also a nice kick

Our quartet of Irish lasses, put to shame a good number of the locals when it comes to kicking

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

Time to rule out finals

 

[winty]

Shades of Thursday night here.

 

[Willo_]

Our girls aren't fit enough, quite a few games we've started out really well and faded as the games gone on.

 

[cats_09]

9 centre bounces, and other than rotating Darby/Bragg, not sure we've changed up the mix

McDonald is a loss, but we've got to try something else as the combination isn't working

 

[Cursed Cat]

nice side-step Kearns.

 

[cats_09]

Worse kick we've seen from Bowen

 

[Cursed Cat]

Genuine unforced error there from Bowen, can't have that.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Freo just cut us up through the middle then.

 

[Romeoh1]

Being outplayed. Out tackled/ muscled. Comon cats.

 

[lionbear]

Does anyone know why they are broadcasting from the opposite side to the men’s?

 

[PzBlinky]

Kearns is good with ball in hand, but Miller is getting off her way too easily.

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

Does anyone know why they are broadcasting from the opposite side to the men’s?

so its not just the empty seats of the closed Hickey stand in the background

 

[Cursed Cat]

C'mon Bryde, watcha got. Not bad.

Freo by 9.

Our girls aren't fit enough, quite a few games we've started out really well and faded as the games gone on.

We've run out earlier games pretty well

How much is it the condensed fixture we're currently in the middle of?

Tonight is our 3rd game in 10 days, we play again in 5 days to make it 4 games in 15 days across 3 states

We've also got a few players on our injury who'd be best 21 and allowing us to rotate/rest across this period, but we're not really in a position to be doing that either

 

[Cursed Cat]

That's reportable and should be 50.

 

[cats_09]

C'mon Bryde, watcha got. Not bad.

Freo by 9.

She's not lifting that left arm at all - got to think the only reason we're still playing her is for player management purposes and doubt we see her on Sunday against Sydney
