AFLW AFLW 2023 - Geelong & the greater league

Can someone tell Kelly Underwood this isn’t Parry’s 1st season at the Cats. She kept doing it rd1 as well.
Embarrassing for a commentator to keep doing this.

 

[patience]

A phone call and I have missed most of the quarter. Going well.

I know this is Kearns third season with us, but is this the first time playing in defence?

I feel like she played more up forward her first couple of seasons, almost in a similar role to Rocky as a bigger body around the contest. But now we've got some class players up forward and not necessarily looking for that type of player

Love JCGs attack on the ball and opposition players

You’re right.
She played back last week for the 1st time.
Aggressive and pretty quick. She may have a role that suits her game.

Good god, the girls are on fire. Relentless tackling pressure.

And Smithy is so much fun in commentary.

 

[cats_09]

That was beautiful

Try taking that one off Pres

 

[Willo_]

Nina's hands there absolutely perfect to release Pres who was flying

 

[patience]

Meg's tough

 

[cats_09]

Randall comes flying in with the attempted shoulder charge at Meg Mac in a marking contest, and instead she comes off second best

 

[cats_09]

Meg's tough

Not sure if it's just my reading, but Randall didn't seem to make a play at the ball and instead jumped into McDonald - is that a free kick or play on?

 

[patience]

Claudia Gunjaca is developing nicely there in the backline.

Who would know these days.

I didn't see it that way, Meg dropped off her opponent and into her path.. Just play on for me

 

[Willo_]

Darby still remains for me at times one of the most clueless players I have ever seen.. But she's likely to just pluck a big mark now I've said that

 

[patience]

Would love to know the tackle count.

 

[cats_09]

 

[Willo_]

I've been really impressed by the willingness and attempting to move the ball with intent as they are this season

 

[cats_09]

Would love to know the tackle count.

 

[Willo_]

Underwood keeps mentioning Norf are off their game... Has she considered they just are getting thrown off their game with the pressure being put on them?

 

[cats_09]

Meg's tough

And Nina

 

[Shadow89]

We are such a different team this year. Pressure, intent, skill, scoring - seriously impressive to watch.

 

[cats_09]

The score at halftime in last year's elimination final was 1.4 10 to 2.2 14

So good to see we've converted better with our chances tonight - now to keep it up for another half

 

[cats_09]

Across the first halves of our first 3 rounds this season,

We've scored 14.6 90, while holding our 3 opponents to 2.13 25

It's good to see that while our defensive side is still going strong that we've also found a way to attack and get the score on the board to take advantage of periods of dominance

Not sure we've always been good first half teams, so it's nice to be starting strong at the moment
