[Tommy Wigs]

What a great fight back. Kicking for goal superb

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

How ****ing good! First win

Our womens team has become a bit of a meme unfortunately. Ferris wheels at the footy, Dal smiling and joking after humiliating defeats, past players celebrating against us every week.

I do sometimes wonder how seriously the girls (and club) take it. It seems like they're all just happy to cop a participation award come seasons end.

All over it

Good call Milo

 

[St Kilda Death]

Made my Sunday.
Just realised haven’t heard oh when the saints since 19 August over a month ago.

Best quarter I’ve seen since that last quarter against the cats too.
Good thing too because the first 3 were pathetic

 

[Fehring]

Well, having slammed the club every week this season, I'm more than happy to come on and give them credit for the win. Absolutely outplayed for three quarters and then just barnstormed home with the wind. Bit concerning that our big recruit only goes well when she's swung into the ruck, but I'll take it. Great win. Very enjoyable last quarter!!

I was well and truly done with Patrikios by half time, but she was superb in the last. Smith, MacDonald and a host of others played well. Great to have some joy!

 

[hoovinha]

Great win.

Gotta say fantastic atmosphere in the last. The noise from the grandstand was great from the other side of the ground.

And the kids got free bananas all day. Win Win

Keep up, you might learn something xx

 

[Munga]

Seemed like the first half was chaos ball movement and sprints. Maybe it worked in the long run and the Pies couldn't keep up? Second half looked like the first time our mids have started to click, they all stood up. Rucks halving the contest. Ty's speed, agility and tackling. Priest's composure and pressure. Patrikios' silk. Lambert was everywhere and draws illiegal attention. And of course Vesely, oh Vesely, just huge and is growing again in the role.

Not a single inside 50 to the Pies in the final qtr, the backs pushed up and didn't let a sniff get through. Jakobsson, Watson, Boyd, Burke, Plane and Kelly all played like a unit. And it all allowed our forwards to get functional! Lambert again doing everything to get momentum swinging our way. Xenos got busy, did she hurt her shoulder though? Exon really lively, probably the quickest I've seen her. Guttridge has always been a better forward than playing down back. Friend starting to use her body to our benefit. And McDonald got into the game with her speed and spread.

Knuckle down and we can go again against the Dogs next week!

They gave out free passes with memberships this year and after such a shit start to the year I was thinking that I wouldn't bother. Now that we aren't shit I might wander down.

 

[sverik25]

Not saying it's a star studded midfield, but when Smith, Vesely, Lambert and Patrikios are on we can look good.

Also, wonderful to see the emotion in the song after the game - clearly meant a lot.

 

[BrutThough]

What a turn around. Everything just clicked in the last quarter and that's some of the best football we've played.

Lambert was a magnificent pick up. Vesely becoming a better player by the week. Patrikios looked like the player we had in the first two seasons.

While we haven't got a lot right on field, the club has done a magnificent job with building atmosphere at Moorabbin for these games. Players around the league have voted it one of the best grounds to play at and we are creating a great experience for fans to attended. If we can get some consistent on field performances, we could get some huge crowds.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Lol I left after that goal and did other stuff

What the hell happened?

Do you know which grounds they think are better than Moorabbin?

Rated equally with GMHBA and Heritage Bank, which is impressive to be rated as good as the venues which host Men's games.

White shorts aren't worn in AFLW anymore.

Is there a reason? No good for us colour blind folk.

Cheers. I would've thought playing in giant and mostly empty stadiums would detract from a rating... or am I biased?

Maybe the same reason that women are allowed to wear non white undergarments at Wimbledon.

It's more a rating of facilities and the ground itself than atmosphere. Some grounds they have played at are absolute dumps - there were reports a few seasons ago about some of the grounds having 1 working toilet for the entire team and support staff.
