Game Day AFLW Round 7, 2024: West Coast vs Hawthorn

[HoneyBadger35]

10am start, get around the girls early.

Looking at a tough game today, but some big ins and a much more mobile approach to the ruck could jumpstart things. Need to win the footy out of the middle to have any chance.

Hawks have been phenomenal this year, win this and they move into first, so just hoping that we can hang around long enough to do something ridiculous at the end.

Will be happy to be competitive, probably going to be a good game for our young backline to gain valuable experience against a potent Forwardline. Although I was overall disappointed with our loss last week, it was encouraging to see Cleaver show some, Zakfer is looking gooooood, schillo is looking gooooood and they're all 20 and under. I really feel for our younger players trying to develop in a key Forward role when we have so few games in a season, and so few opportunities to learn their craft in this league, especially without elite supply out of the midfield. I feel like Lakfer's development is being hamstrung a bit tbh.

I'd like to see Roberts on ball all day.

 

[Ochre]

Looks like a pretty strong wind. Need to be a few goals up at QT I'd say.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

These Hawks look very well drilled, but the girls holding up well early (albeit we have the wind advantage).

A nice mark by Rentsch a few minutes ago, she's an interesting prospect. Gibbo with our first, great finish.

 

[bUCKET__]

Nice goal Gibbo!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee whiz, shocking fumble from Bakker there costs a near-certain goal.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yeah probably a 3 goal wind for the women's comp I reckon.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Way too many fumbles, wasting the breeze.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Ella drops a sitter near the top of the square...

Gibbo has a shot from a tough spot now, really need to take this chance.

 

[DanWCE]

Just tuned in. 8 zip in the free kicks to the Hawks.

The umpires have been fine tbh.

Good to know considering how one sided it is. Seems like we've done well to stay in touch but now we're about to kick against the breeze

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Nobody but ourselves to blame, really. Gibbo, Western, Ella, Bakker and others all fumbled or spilled marks at crucial times. Instead of probably a 2-3 goal buffer, it's even stevens with the Hawks about to have the wind in the 2nd.

Really need to hold up defensively or we'll really regret that opening quarter.

Effort has been fantastic, but it's clear we still have to do a bit of catch up in the talent stakes. Britton and Bushby really need to lift.

 

[garlic munchers]

Just tuned in. 8 zip in the free kicks to the Hawks.

Fat controller No.28 is a cheat.

 

[bUCKET__]

Love to see an Eagles team cracking in hard and winning the contests. Daisy has transformed this side so much.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Btw why was Octavia dropped? She was playing well and I'd have her in ahead of a few still in this side.

Good to have depth I suppose.

 

[Livin1989]

Great effort and cracking in. Disappointing discipline (giving away frees) and fumbly cost us 2-3 goals.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would love to see Roux behind the ball as a spare in the backline this quarter. Get her in the game and probably necessary.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee whiz, Z Wakfer. Just gifting them a goal there.

 

[Livin1989]

Zakfer.... Why

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Lewis spills an absolute soda now. Leads to another easy Hawks goal.

Daisy can't go out there and play for you girls...

 

[squashface]

Very fumbly today

 

[DanWCE]

Few girls getting a bit tired this season? Been some opportunities to really put the body behind the line of the footy but starting to just chuck an arm out, mens style.
