AFLW AFLW 2023 - Geelong & the greater league

[goyoucatters]

Saw this online. Apparently we're a very narrow chance to make the grand final.

So I take it that North aren't quite finals 'certainties' yet?

What the hell? When did this happen?



I'd be happy to pay it for her if need be.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if Melbourne didn't win the grand final - wouldn't be surprised if they went undefeated this season, they don't seem to have any real weakness

Is that when she turned her opponent inside out and the MRO took pity on her opponent?

Geelong should, in theory, go undefeated for the rest of the year. Richmond might be the only team that might knock them off.

If we can do that, we're a lock for Top 4. Tiges/Pies are both danger games I think.

Heading into the finals, I think we're capable for knocking off North, Brissy and Crows at our best. Shelley back in and Annabel a slim chance too.

We have 4 weeks to figure out the composition of Darby/Hoare/Fuller. Could Fuller replace Bragg as a KPD? She'd definitely offer more around the ground and another option to utilise rebounding out of 50m. Not exactly sure on Garing role, but she should transition into a tagger. Not confident with ball in hand, but she hunts it well and seems to have a good tank to run out games.

Plummer/AbMac try hard and you can't knock their attack on the footy, however its quite apparent they're our depth players. Ony 18 and 19 so hope they keep developing and turn into handy role players for us. Look how far Rankin has come from only 2 seasons ago as the example.

Unbelievable to think that this week's Georgie Prespakis' 25th game! That's certainly come quickly. Probably fitting that she'll chalk up the milestone playing against her sister too.

I won't be there this year, but had a great time last year. Well worth it.
Kermonds hamburger was delicious too.

Thanks for the info, winty. But I can't give another 'like' to our (relatively short) injury list until they stop copy and pasting Shelley Scott's name and estimated return every week...

 

[winty]

Shelley Scott's back!!!!

what a jet.

remember when most of us were concerned that she might jump ship after her 1st season with the Cats?

Georgie has been a joy, great footballer.

Loving the chemistry and synergy Morrison and her are building too.

I should be a selector.

I can see two changes we could make, and we'd pretty much have our best side out there....

In: Scott Kearns
Out: Garing Bragg

No surprises with Bragg. Feel for Garing, but glad they've giving AbMac and Plummer more opportunity to build form in back-to-back games.

That's right, Plummer didn't play last week

Wow, it's a double celebration for the Prespakis family this weekend. Not only is Georgie playing her 25th game on Sunday, Maddie is also playing her 50th.

That forward line looks pretty potent - even with Chloe Scheer on the bench.

 

[cats_09]

Good luck to Rene in her GWS debut tomorrow

I don't see here in this week's team?

That said, I thought she was OK in her games last season. Worth persisting with for a few seasons.

 

[cats_09]

Lots of hellos & hugs from Geelong players for Nat Woods - hope they're also asking about Essendon's tactics for tomorrow
