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

[Gunf]

I wonder how close we were to ruling Bragg out after that knee to the chest?

I can't remember the team, but pretty sure there was a club naming a top up player in their 24 in round 2 or 3

The lists need increasing - at least to 35 players, and maybe the ability to name an Cat B type rookie (1 or 2) outside the list for their first season. The lists aren't a suitable size

Yep

Need to increase list sizes
Fix schedule
Fix time of year they play
Among other things

This is regarding Collingwood's 2 x week 4 matches:






Maybe it wasn't week 2 or 3 top up players were required, but it was early in the season

 

[cats_09]

And our injury list is up to 6, with Featherston to miss the Sydney clash with injury, though not sure the specifics

That means our injury list now looks like

• Gabbi Featherston
• Kate Surman, concussion
• Chloe Scheer, toe
• Amy McDonald, hamstring
• Bryde O'Rourke, collarbone
• Lily Pearce, ACL

This means the playing 21 for Sunday's clash with Sydney and the 3 emergencies are comprised of our 24 fit players

And based on the above team, we have the following milestones this Sunday:

Kate Darby & Georgie Rankin will be playing their 50th AFLW game

Captain Meg McDonald will lead us out for the 50th time

And congrats to Bella Smith on her debut

Wonder who will be backing Darby up in the ruck this week. Jackie Perry perhaps?

Bragg

Not having a genuine Ruck has really hurt us

 

[Gunf]

Some absolute horrid weather for todays games

We're definitely missing A. Mac in the guts

We know Pres is always going to get a lot of opposition attention, but even more so with Amy out - looking at Pres's numbers for this year compared with last year, there's a clear drop, especially in clearances

Bullshit umpiring already - Kearns taking around the next called play on, meanwhile Sydney get a couple of high tackle frees early

 

[cats_09]

Webster needed to go first time than holding it up trying to advance it

Wonder how much the drop in clearances has to do with the fact our ruck division has been obliterated this season.

 

[cats_09]

Didn't think they were going to call that running too far - ran two strips of the cut grass and even then it seemed a reluctant call


And JCG with a good start to the match

 

[winty]

Crockett-Grills bought her own footy today.

 

[PzBlinky]

JCG has started well...nice finish. Needed that after last week's goal-kicking debacle.

Definitely a factor

Except for A. Mac - I'm on my iPad and don't have access to full stats as if I was on my computer (stupid website formatting), but I'm pretty sure Amy's clearance stats were very similar, maybe even slightly higher than last year

But she's just a machine in there

 

[cats_09]

What does Kearns need to do to get a high tackle free?

 

[patience]

Where would we be without Aishling?
