Game Day AFLW Non North Season 2021

[hcd199]

We seem to be struggling to counter their ball movement as much as we should - increasingly as the game's gone on, they've been able to engineer loose players to handball or kick short to, and in trying to cover that we seem to play into their hands; thought it happened a couple of times in the second quarter. Kearney and Bruton seemingly everywhere at the moment and keeping us in it, but we need to lift, maybe maintain possession for a bit to control the flow of play a bit more.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

No COVID restrictions on ridiculously loud PA systems it would seem.

 

[CURVE]

That was the worst quarter of football I’ve seen from our girls in a long time. Credit to the Saints. Indiscriminate kicking, chasing the ball and letting the Saints dictate the tempo. It will be interesting to see if the Saints can keep this level of pressure up for the duration or if they will begin to tire and can wrestle back control.

 

[Jasemon]

Seemed to stop running and applying the same pressure that we had early on. Also a concerning trend to kick sideways to contests and kill momentum.

Saints definitely on top at half time. Crocks should be able to refocus the group however.

Hard to tell on the tv for me but assume our structure ahead of the saints’ ball falling to bits, we seemed to be constantly chasing. Reminded me of the men’s team.

Yea, keep telling us to social distance then blasting speakers no one wants to be near, also not my kind of music to say the least.

In the first quarter when the Saints were kicking our defensive wall worked a treat, but in the second half they handballed more and was able to get the ball behind our wall.

Commentators and umps have been horrid.

 

[Kangayroo]

Pretty sure the commentator just said ‘All in Sunbury’. Is he one of us?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Commentators and umps have been horrid.

So have we

 

[Caracas]

Saints coming home with then wind. It’s going to be tough. They seem to be winning the physical battle.

Bring it home Kangas.

 

[Usayed Givashe]

17:8 free kicks against.

The more things change.

 

[CURVE]

So have we

Credit to the Saints, they are hunting in packs and applying a lot of pressure. We haven’t handled it well but have still found a way to open a lead and should win from here.

 

[Caracas]

Seeing an opposition player running half the length of the field with our players trailing looked a bit too familiar. Hard to watch.

These umps are woeful

 

[darko]

Saints are a good side.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Simply outlasted their pressure.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Saints are a good side.

They're OK.

 

[rippersnipper]

Patrikios was incredible. By far the BoG imo

 

[scottywiper]

Lost valuable percentage with that 360 per cent win.

 

[bennymate]

Our midfield is so good

 

[Caracas]

Conditions didn’t suit us. However, we still nearly quadrupled their score. At the end of the day, you can’t argue with that. Aileen really shone in the last.

[CURVE]

As poorly as we played, we still kept them to one goal for the game and scoreless in the second half.

Percentage is still over 500 as well. 563.16 to be exact.
