Review AFLW Qualifying Final, vs Lions, @ Ikon Park (Carlton), Sunday 10 Nov 1.05pm

[grumbleguts]

What a flop

 

[HedgeFund]

Lots of poor marking of players to let them score there.

Brisbane have dialed it up pressure wise and have us on the back foot at the moment. Was to be expected as they’re a very good unit.

Need to respond with a bit of composure and maturity here….

 

[PenAndPaper]

Not sure what Sherriff was doing there, but just didn’t want to get involved and Lions take it the length of the ground.

I still really don't see what she offers over anyone that has missed out.

 

[I got the outside word]

I think Everest is pretty close to my favourite player.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Can we just get a ****ing holding the ball free, this is disgusting.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Pressure is on now.

 

[StackedHunch]

How hard is it to kick one around the corner from 10m?

 

[Davo-27]

Williamson good playon and hits Bodey 20m out, behind

Haw 3.7 25
Bris 4.1 25

 

[I got the outside word]

Flem hurt?

 

[Davo-27]

Everist taking a few tough marks in defence

 

[PenAndPaper]

That was horrible work rate by our defenders then, just did not get back hard enough.

 

[Davo-27]

They walk in a simple goal, 4 on 1.....

Haw 3.7 25
Bris 5.1 31

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Umps pay just 1 holding the ball and Brisbane don't get on this run.
Absolute blatant, including one where the umpire was 1m infront of the player unobstructed

 

[Mitchell Madness]

They walk in a simple goal.....

Haw 3.7 25
Bris 5.1 31

Every goal has come out the back

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Challenged hard. This will test them.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

How hard is it to kick one around the corner from 10m?

With the women's ball, hard actually.
The ball is not as pointy as a size 5, and tends to float rather than bend

 

[Davo-27]

They tagged and tackled West out of the game, others aren't stepping up and we miss too many shots from less than 25m out, kick around the corner if you can't kick straight at goal, the amount of kicking over players heads coming out of defence has not helped, Gilroy can't get near it today, Breed is sick on the bench, Fleming can't get any space, they need a rocket to motivate them to go in harder... we dominated contested footy I the first half and they dominated the 3rd quarter for contested footy

 

[grumbleguts]

So that's a free now?

 

[I got the outside word]

You can run your head into the opposition but not cop a shirt front to the head. Roger that.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

The AFLW game is officiated worse than a suburban AFL game.
If these are the ‘better’ umpires in the finals, god help them

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Feels like their runners have gone up a level and ours haven’t

 

[PenAndPaper]

That decision to call play on...jesus christ.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Clear high free

 

[I got the outside word]

Took her ****ing head off for **** sake.

 

[StackedHunch]

These umpires would be lucky to get a game in local division 3...shouldn't be anywhere near a professional game.
