Game Day AFLW Non North Season 2021

[Sillygit]

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.

220 odd percentage points lost, shattered.

 

[darko]

They're OK.

They'll play finals. We are just on another level.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

It says a lot that we were at about 60% today and we kept a good side to a single goal.

Despite the win, I thought Georgia Patrikios was BOG by a country ****ing mile. She single-handedly carried that Saints midfield and just about kept them in it for three quarters.

For us, Garner and Riddell lifted in the second half, but I'd give the voted to Bruton and Kearney who I thought were good throughout, while I also thought Bateman had some good moments. King was very well held.

One thing that goes under the radar is just how good our backline is. I particularly like Jas Grierson who's a very good kick as well as a solid defender, but Randall and Hardiman are also good tall defenders, while Gilroy is a very good halfback and Wright handy.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

It was scrappy but the pressure was high and in the end the class and fitness and hard work of our girls, especially the midfield and backline, was too much. A really even team and it’s hard to beat them all.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Saints 48 frees for, 16 against

 

[Egga]

Ground them down. Our midfield was too deep in the end. Back six is fantastic to have conceded just two goals in two weeks.

 

[CURVE]

220 odd percentage points lost, shattered.

I can take the loss once, but two or three times will be concerning.

 

[Caracas]

Saints 48 frees for, 16 against

Tackling is the main feature of their game. In the end, it takes a lot out of a team. I think that’s why we broke away from them, even though we were against the wind in the last.

In 5/8 quarters we have kept the opposition scoreless. Stunning defence.

Saints scored 8 goals last week, we kept them to one.

 

[Caracas]

220 odd percentage points lost, shattered.

To maintain our %, I think we might have needed to win by over 100 points - unless Saints didn’t score at all.

[CURVE]

Haven’t concede a point in the third quarter.

 

[NorthernLights]

Fox footy decided a 10 minute highlights package of the filler shows during last year’s season stoppage is better TV than The Song and some post game analysis

 

[Dan]

Made to work for that one.

Garner just an ok'ish game by her standards but probably the best player on the ground.

Riddel, Bruton were really good too.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Gilroy phenomenal second half

Kearney showed why she's captain

Bruton worked unbelievably hard all game

Just let Jas be Jas

I was sitting outside Arden Street waiting for my lift home. The whole Georgia Patrikios extended family were there waiting for her. It was great when she came out. Major hugs and kisses and family photos.

We need to have 1 of King/Saad/KGJ coming out of the square as the long bomb kick to option

too often it was bannister playing deepest who whilst strong doesn’t have the marking power

don’t mind abba playing as the deep forward either over bannister

Hey, Spitta assistant coach at the Suns. Good to see him on the telly. Hope he's doing well.

 

[kool kangas]

It was great game but how can you organize a game and NOT have someone selling COFFEE.

I got one at the Geelong game and tbh I wished I'd just licked a pole or something, was ****ing undrinkable. So I wasn't fussed hahaha

 

[Istanbul Roo]

Watching on TV from Sydney, I thought we were a bit poor today. Didn't see much teamwork or ball movement.

Kearney consistently good, Riddell and Bruton as well. Abbotangelo gets into good positions and plays in front but seems frustratingly slow.

On this game the Bulldogs looked better than us. And Freo still the team to beat pretty clearly, with their speed and skill.

If the Bulldogs are better than us, we won’t make the top 6. Freo, Brisbane and Adelaide are the teams we have to fear - since we might have to travel. I’d be very disappointed if we don’t have the measure of all the Melbourne teams. That said, it’s all down to how we shoot for goal on any given day. If we shoot straight, nobody will beat us.

Not at our best, but we were well-structured behind the ball and pressured well.

Saints beat the Bulldogs last week.

North
Collingwood
Adelaide
Brisbane
Freo

...the top 5 are all looking very competitive. Makes for an interesting season.

We aren't going to do everything right every week, bank a scratchy win and move on. Go Roos!
