Up in Brisbane this week against the Lions, 4th vs 15th and the final match of the weekend. Going to be a tough ask going up against a top 4 team given we couldn't even defeat the Suns at home last week. Sigh. It's been one of those seasons where the gaps in our list seem to become more obvious with each game.

“We've taken the approach that it's just another challenge for us and the expectation from our perspective is to win," he said.
"I’s a great opportunity to get the learnings out of out of the game that you're going to get out of playing the Premier and it's their home ground. We've got nothing to lose and we just go up there full of hope."

AFLW senior coach Scott Gowans has confirmed his side to travel north this weekend for a clash with the Brisbane Lions. Three changes have been named for Round 9, including the return of All-Australia midfielder Laura Gardiner.
The 2023 Club Champion is also joined by Julie O'Sullivan who sustained an injury to her elbow in Round 7 and Bella Smith.
Speaking to Sydney Swans Media, Gowans says they'll bolster their team against a top four side.
"It's really important obviously to have Laura back in the midfield. Bella comes back into the side to give us a bit of height down forward and also a chop out in the ruck, which we've needed some help. And Julie O'Sullivan just shores up our defence a little bit, so it's a good side this week," Gowans noted.

[Voula]

Very happy that Gardiner is back!

 

[Ticky009]

Very happy that Gardiner is back!

Next to Chloe I think she's our best player.

 

[Voula]

Chyloe Kurdas is commentating again. Hopefully she isn't negative like last week.

 

[Mister B]

So incorrect disposal not going to be a thing for our opponents again today.

 

[Mister B]

Great ball movement, more open forward line and ground ball entry rather than a high bomb leads to our opening goal. Might be the strategy to go with. Low ground ball entries.

 

[kangle4]

Good start but can they keep it up.

 

[Voula]

Tarrant marking well yet again. She is a rock down back.

Bella Smith! Good to get the first goal for a change.

 

[Mister B]

The boundary umpire clearly called that a lasoo and the ****ing cheat of a field umpire overruled him despite him arguing that it was clearly out off the leg of the Brisbane player. campaigner needs to be investigated.

 

[Voula]

I'm sick of the umpires paying holding when the player drops the ball. It should have been a shot to us right in front of goal and instead Brisbane are able to take it all the way down for a goal. They haven't even looked like scoring before then.

 

[Mister B]

Incorrect boundary call has turned the game on its head. Then we get punished for head high when the Lions player runs head first into the player. The umpiring in the W is a joke and this dumb ****wit i the commentary box that always seems to hate us refuses to say a thing.

 

[SwansProudly]

 

[Voula]

Finally they get pinged for a throw!

 

[Mister B]

****ing field ump tried to overturn that call as well. Investigate this campaigner.

 

[Mister B]

Then the clown misses the head high hit free to Heads. That's at least 2 weeks and he wasn't going to pay a thing.

 

[Mister B]

Hurley to Ham. A sight to behold. Sort our forward line and that combo will be dangerous.

 

[Voula]

I really like our indigenous guernsey, however we should have worn a clash strip today. It's fine when the footage is close up, but from a distance it's difficult to tell the difference from behind.

 

[Mister B]

Yeah, that's game over. Not coming back from here. Operation keep it under 10 goals now needs to swing into action.

 

[Mister B]

CAN WE STOP PAYING HOLDING THE MAN WHEN THE PLAYERS ARE DROPPING THE ****ING BALL!!!!

 

[Mister B]

Oh **** off umpire.

 

[Mister B]

The ****ing genius in the commentary box isn't sure what the 50 is for. When a clear mark is taken and the ball is slapped out of Priv's hands two seconds later. G. Davies out another blow. Had some good moves forward but just don't have the ability to hit a target in the F50.

 

[Mister B]

Able to stem the tide that quarter. Some good passages of ball movement but a lack of clean disposal into the f50 and also a lack of forward presence meaning we only scored a behind.Think we are kicking into a stiff breeze in the last. All I ask is we continue the tackling pressure and don;t allow the Lions to kick a string of quick consecutive goals.

 

[Mister B]

We dead set got tackled to the ground with the ball 5 meters away and these incompetent ****wits don't pay holding, yet the slightest touch on a Brisbane player is penalised instantly.
