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

[winty]

Odds on if that Surman tackle was reversed, it would have been paid as a dangerous tackle. Nothing surer.

 

[cats_09]

Getting smashed in contested possession (30-19) and clearances (10-4).

Going to miss JCG in and around the contest, even just being a pest to the opposition

 

[winty]

Darby tackled to ground when the ball was 10m away - play on, nothing to see here.

 

[cats_09]

How many one handed handballs by the Eagles - seems more than a few times when tackled they've thrown the ball up with one hand before trying to get a fist to it

 

[winty]

Smart move by Lingy to take a step or two back then before marking - one, to make sure the kick went 15m, and two to make sure she was closer to goal.

 

[cats_09]

So, earlier in the quarter they (commentators) mention how Geelong was playing the spare behind the ball which was making it hard for the Eagles to transition the ball down the wing

Just now they talk about the brilliant tactical change by the Eagles to have a loose player behind the ball as a way to counter what we did in the first quarter

If we're playing a spare behind the ball then no shit the Eagles are also - can't have one loose player without another loose player

Surely #45 is wearing an AA blazer after this season

likely to be leading goal kicker, so definitely.

 

[cats_09]

Not sure what Bragg was thinking then - need to contest the ruck and not leave an easy ruck contest in the middle

 

[cats_09]

likely to be leading goal kicker, so definitely.

She's now up to 18

Likely been her and Taylor Smith for the leading goal kicker award

Why do commentators refuse to call out throws

 

[winty]

How many one handed handballs by the Eagles - seems more than a few times when tackled they've thrown the ball up with one hand before trying to get a fist to it

About as many times as we've been tackled off the ball.

 

[winty]

Why do commentators refuse to call out throws

They're the West Coast cheer squad.

 

[winty]

Didn't realise Lingy actually ran past Parry when she took the mark in the middle of the ground before running on and getting it out the back. Ridiculous athleticism.

 

[winty]

Leading possession winners

Prespakis 12
Moloney 12
Kearns 10
Morrison 8
Parry 7
Surman 6
Bowen 6

 

[winty]

Surely they're taking the piss with the free kick tally. No way known is it 11-10.

 

[cats_09]

Another week, another confirmed injury

 

[cats_09]

A. Mac getting her hamstring worked on

 

[cats_09]

Nice team goal

 

[winty]

21 fit players on the list now?

 

[cats_09]

Wonder who we've got as injury top up available players - not sure we'll be seeing Fris next week

 

[winty]

Why is the commentator chuckling talking about an injury to a Geelong player? Absolutely disgraceful.

 

[cats_09]

21 fit players on the list now?

20

It was 22 before the start of the match with Thorne a late out with a hamstring issue

Now it's JCG & Friswell with ankle injuries in match

 

[winty]

Wonder who we've got as injury top up available players - not sure we'll be seeing Fris next week

Got any plans next Friday night? You might get a call up!

 

[cats_09]

That's a good mark
