Game Day AFLW Round 8, 2024: West Coast vs Fremantle

[HoneyBadger35]

3QT

22 disposals, 12 contested, 7 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 462m gained.

All best by an absolute mile.

Bella Lewis BOG.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Dominated the inside 50's couldn't get it done. Disappointing.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I think we have to move past the honourable loss stage now.

This was really winnable, and barring a last quarter miracle, it's a bitterly disappointing loss.

Yes, but this in itself is such ridiculous growth for the program.

The results have dried up but really don’t think the momentum of this program has.

But yes, this should be set up for a proper tussle of a last term, winner takes all quarter. Instead, it looks waaay too far to come back from.

Dominated the inside 50's couldn't get it done. Disappointing.

One genuine Full fwd and this side would be transformed.

 

[DanWCE]

Both teams 1.3 since QT.

 

[Ochre]

Thats a mark

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Umpire…

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Lakay’s best game of the year.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Living in our 50 and we cannot score

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Any danger of us kicking it to one of our forwards.

 

[Barrybran]

Ella's gonna need some bigger guns to get away with that fend off

 

[Ochre]

Zakfer having a huge game.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Had about enough of the AFLW umpiring cohort.

Different set of rules quarter to quarter, moment to moment.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Genuinely dominant for about 80% or more of the entire second half.

An absolute lesson in converting the easy ones early.

Definitely could have won, would argue we really should have if we convert the set shots from inside 20m. Grandstand finish at the very least. Just left too much meat on the bone with those chances.

Bella Lewis very good. Hit the offseason and go find another Drennan type.

I get that honourable losses are a bit annoying, but we’ve gone from no point turning up every week to being pissed off at losing to good sides.

As they say - it is what it is.

 

[Ochre]

**** sake

 

[Barrybran]

Too much ball watching. Not enough chasing the ball.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Just to rub salt into the wound watch them give the medal to McCarthy.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Absolutely rubbish forward line. Hard to win games when you miss easy ones.

 

[DanWCE]

Too much ball watching. Not enough chasing the ball.

?? We have pulled their pants down in contested possessions and had more uncontested footy. Hasn't had anything to do with not getting any footy

 

[Biggie]

That was utterly disappointing

That last goal

 

[squashface]

Well that was lame.

Roberts need more talent around her - was such Harley vibes where every week she does something incredible but the player she’s passed it to isn’t talented enough to do anything with it and turns it over.

 

[Biggie]

Good atmosphere however, good vibes despite the result

 

[Barrybran]

Can't question the effort overall. There's a good team brewing in there. Just need some more actual footballers.

 

[Ochre]

Some good signs overall but still a real long way to go. Feels symbolic of the season.
