Can't wait

was the hardest oppo analysis to write so far because they've been horrible. Breed should probably be lining up on Rowbottom as much as possible to try and deal with her size

 

[bigmaxi]

Cracker day for it, horrible time slot!? Record score incoming me thinks today. Go Hawks.

 

[Aristarchus]

I've got the usual pre game nerves that shouldn't happen against a bottom club, but it just feels like such a trap game. If all their talent finally remembers how to play together it'll be a tough matchup!

 

[peetoo]

Danger game

 

[Davo-27]

brilliant kick from McDonagh to an open Williamson who can run into the open goal in the goal square

Gilroy perfectly weighted kick to McDonagh for an open goal from 20m

Haw 2.2 14
GCS 1.0 6

The wind is crazy at Frankston

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Breed and West are dominating the inside

 

[Davo-27]

We were kicking into the wind and won the quarter, which are good signs Haw 14-6 GCS at 1/4 Time

 

[wahawk]

Scrappy start to the 2nd

 

[Davo-27]

Gilroy snap from the pocket, goal

Haw 3.6 24
GCS 1.0 6

Very tackle heavy game and then if you do get free you have to get lucky with the wind

 

[Davo-27]

First half was very contested, a lot of tackles soaking up a lot of time, we are up by 19 points

HT - Haw 25 - 6 GCS

 

[The hands of stone]

Very scrappy game . Understandable with the wind .
Feels like we are 6 goals up on balance of play .

Think if we hold an OK lead at 3/4 we might run right away with it

 

[KermitJagger]

Should be further up. Mattea Breed and Aileen Gilroy are great to watch, physical beasts. Breed hit a Sun with a stiff arm that'd make Punky proud in the first.

 

[grumbleguts]

You'd think we were 10 goals down listening to the commentators at half time. And their treatment of Gilroy was bordering on racist.

 

[Davo-27]

Long Goal for the SUNS, both their goals coming early to start the 1st and 2nd halves

Haw 25 - 12 GCS

 

[dixyland]

A season one performance today

 

[Davo-27]

Elliot rushes through a point, saving a certain goal

GCS Tall, big contested mark in the goal square, she was sent on an angle for some reason, but kicked it anyway

Haw 25- 21 GCS

 

[muldercs]

Girls seem a little out of sorts today.. hope we get a big finish with wind in last.

 

[Davo-27]

Aine with the double "falcon" game

West snaps a stoppage goal, she's a champ

Haw 4.8 32
GCS 3.4 22

 

[Davo-27]

Good teams win ugly games, I think GCS came with an intent to give us no room and to improve their defence at the cost of scoring.

 

[Davo-27]

Wales body contact as a ruck is really good, she's impressive when she plays well.

 

[dixyland]

Good teams win ugly games, I think GCS came with an intent to give us no room and to improve their defence at the cost of scoring.

Great game plan and commitment by the Suns. They didn't allow the Hawks anything today.

 

[Davo-27]

Final Score, tough defensive footy with a strong wind making goal kicking tough, won an ugly game at the end of the day, we have another couple of gears when the game opens up.

Haw 4.11 35
GCS 3.4 22

 

[grumbleguts]

Now 2nd on the ladder. First win this season which didn't break our highest ever score record.
