Huge opportunity, this.

The ladder has opened up beautifully for us, and our remaining fixture has us facing a lot of the would be chasing pack. We’ve definitely got some hard games in there, and I’m not quite sure if we’ll have enough in the tank, but if we win this the hunt for finals is suddenly very much in our court.

We’ve grown game by game this year before a reality check by a Brisbane side that is on a whole other level, but a good showing against GWS today would not only be encouraging, it really should set us up for a finals chase over the next month.

Fire up campaigners.

Hell of a kick by Bella

**** shes good

Good start so far.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

That's shocking by Cleaver. 12 seconds left and we give up a goal because she can't be bothered bending down to get the ball.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good start so far.

Not sure I agree. GWS have dominated general possession. They've been inefficient.

Some pretty poor efforts via dropped marks and misreading the footy by our girls.

Well we had a 2 goal lead until Cleaver ran past the ball.

Great hit up by Roberts and 2nd career goal for Bel Smith.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Ella Roberts is a genuine cheat code, crumbs a second goal.

 

[Ochre]

Camera work is awful today. Can they relax on the close ups while the balls in play.

Ella roberts is so much better than everyone else on the team

 

[Seadog]

Constant call of "just call the f#*kin game" from my wife as the commentators waffle on.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Wow. Awesome counter-attack.

 

[Ochre]

Zakfer and Schilling a wall down back atm.

 

[UseR2006]

Girls are looking fantastic.
It's refreshing that we are competitive.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Started a little late so just caught up to live.

Wowee, Ella Roberts is a superstar. Love seeing B Smith push up higher and get involved in the entry kicks (nice goal too). Lewis playing very well, really liking Lyons and Bushby today too.

Backs holding up tremendously but that can’t happen forever. Our ball movement looks every bit as good as theirs between the arcs, and so much growth in the team. Very pleasing to see, need some more footy and to manage this half now.

Their goal was entirely preventable, poor from Cleaver but also a blatant 2v1 in the ruck contest not called to start it all off?

Roxy’s intent will see her have influence in a team built like this. Nothing much on the stat sheet but a huge point of difference to anything we have.

 

[AlphaSheep]

Considering our injury list is a half mile long, it's amazing we're as good as we are. Half of it is Ella, the other half Daisy, I think.

As per my previous email,

Ella fast becoming my favourite Eagle across both the women’s and men’s program

 

[HoneyBadger35]

What a joy.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Bushby’s been good today, shown plenty.
