Women's Footy AFLW season 2023 - Season 8

[freo_leo29]

You'd hope that with how West Coast have been for the last few years that we should easily dispatch of them.

In our down season (previous season) we barely beat them in the pre season and it was a close game at optus

So hopefully a return to form sees us beating them comfortably

It'll click for their team eventually though, they've had the best talent for 4 or 5 years now, a tonne of priority picks and they stole our top draft pick from a few years ago for jack shit (pick in the compromised draft)

Could be a smokescreen.

Stannett in the backline, Tighe as starting rover and Low at CHF.
Might actually catch Prior by surprise.

Tighe is our women’s version of Jackson. Can play forward, Ruck or mid!

Looking forward to this season.

TEAM v WEST COAST
B: Sarah Verrier, Laura Pugh
HB: Ange Stannett, Madi Scanlon, Emma O’Driscoll
C: Ebony Antonio, Kiara Bowers, Joanne Cregg
HF: Amy Mulholland, Aine Tighe, Airlie Runnalls
F: Sarah Wielstra, Gabby O’Sullivan
R/Fol: Mim Strom, Hayley Miller, Jess Low
I: Orlagh Lally, Megan Kauffman, Dana East, Mikayla Hyde, Ariana Hetherington
E: Makaela Tuhakaraina, Tahleah Mulder, Serena Gibbs

Surprised Tuhakaraina not an automatic in and no Nikki Nield

 

[footyknut]

Agree, Tuhukaraina is exciting and young, would prefer to see her instead of 30 year olds Mulholland (who looked average last year) and Cregg.
Nield looked ok last year and she did play in a premiership for Adelaide in the backline, think she’d be a better bet than Hyde back there but she did play well in the last practice game.

I reckon they've gone for bigger bodies and strength. Stribley another i am surprised missed out

 

[Bigger]

Dr Cregg is my new favourite, so enough of that talk.

A genuine Fremantle Doctor. More welcome than a sea breeze on a day hotter than Satan’s ballsack.

 

[hoss]

Good to see that Adelaide beat those Freo traitors.

Bowers is the engine room though

Need miller to have a massive game now

 

[Taylor]

I'll be watching this game on the exercise bike so hopefully that becomes a superstition with a massive win.

 

[freo_leo29]

Stannett forward again

 

[freo_leo29]

Strom with some tidy ruckwork

 

[ImperialPurple]

Geez I’m finding it hard to get over flipping Franklin

 

[freo_leo29]

Their tactic on Tighe is just tackle her without the footy in every marking contest

 

[freo_leo29]

Wielstra been very lively

 

[BettercallSaul]

Stannet being held.

 

[freo_leo29]

WTF are these umpires doing????


So many of our players tackled without the ball

 

[Beak_A]
