Game Day AFLW Collingwood V Melbourne R5, Sunday 3.10

[jmac70]

Would love to see the men at the top of the ladder.

And again...

Fantastic win.

I wasn't sure how we would go against the dees, given I see them as a good team whom we haven't beat in over 2 years. But we were all class.

Between the last time we played dees at last years marvel game before the afl charity bushfire game; we have improved 10x more than I ever could have imagined.

We now have a complete team. Solid defence. Elite and hard working midfield and a forward line that works. Especially when mids like Bri can kick goals.

As an aside, good to see Darcy Guttridge starting to make a mark. Recruiters obviously saw something when we drafted her but she never got much opportunity at the Pies.

IIRC she had bad luck with injuries?

+ Great to see the women getting the fans through the turnstiles and having sellouts.
What is the capacity of Vic Park under Covid? What’s the price of entry?

 

[Fino]

Weird how Melbourne used the umpire rooms underneath Ryder Stand and not the brand new away rooms underneath Sherrin.

$10. Under covid its about 3k, they are going on 40% capacity.

Bloody fantastic. Watching our side blossom this season has been such a joy. It's great to see more BF regulars watching too. The AFLW will only continue on this trajectory as long as it gets the support from above and the pathways for young girls continue to be developed.

I love Livingstone's.... let's call it "willingness for the contest". Opposition forwards will walk off remembering who they lined up against, that's for sure.

Davey is a class above in the middle. A legit star.

Molloy is a top 5 player in the comp and will end up the best. There's just not any question... She's a pure footballer. Every now and then you see a player who carries themselves differently to other players. Like they were a different category of player altogether and they kinda knew it. Carey had it in spades. Buckley and Voss both. Like they move over the ground, not on it. Chloe has it too.

 

[Jen2310]

I saw Petracca at the game on the way out lol He's a big boy. He is just checking out his new club, heh

 

[Lord of the Pies]

Livingstone's a great CHB. Maybe the men need some of her mongrel.

I call her "the anvil" she reminds me of Leigh Brown

 

[jackcass]

IIRC she had bad luck with injuries?

That's my recollection. Not sure why she jumped ship.

 

[jackcass]

We didn't want the new rooms sullied by their presence.

 

[Quicky]

The girls were excellent again. They really controlled the game excepting the 3rd quarter. We seem to be able to dominant most games but when we don't our defence is a wall.

 

[Horaceg]

Great win by the girls, the skill levels and work rates have come a long way across the whole competition.

Congratulations to all those involved in the entire AFLW.

Winning helps too, just quietly.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

The girls are going great.
Must say Ruby Shleicher has improved remarkably, her attack on the ball and movement is AA class.
Has she been getting tips for Darcy M perhaps?
Davey is all quality, Bonnici makes great decisions and is skilful and Molloy is a match winner.
I hope the male team are taking note..
Go girls and go pies

 

[Robroy22]

Great TEAM to watch. Very well coached too I might say. They all play for each other which has always been the hallmark of our very best teams.

 

[Hardas]

They really seem to have great team spirit.
Good on 'em - enjoyed watching them play..

 

[Vicky Park]

Great TEAM to watch. Very well coached too I might say. They all play for each other which has always been the hallmark of our very best teams.

I gave the coach a cheer and a clap when he walked off after the game, before the girls. He is doing a great job.

Re the bolded, the girls have confidence in each other too. You rarely see them hesitate or be tentative, they know where to go and what to do. Every girl seems well drilled.

Feel for her. Was such an innocuous incident.

 

[Black_White]

Was such an innocuous incident.

Aren’t they always?

 

[Black_White]

Going what I seen and Results we are Definitely better then last year

I concur.
The challenge now is to continue building on the skills and gameplan.
We are now the hunted. Other teams will invest more time into picking apart the plan and negating our best players.
We have a great chance to flag this competition this season. But as we are Collingwood, I await the inevitable.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

They’re typically non-contact injuries, so in that sense they are normally innocuous looking when you view the tape, yeah.

 

[TradeDraft]

That all it needs to be for ACLs
