AFLW 2024 - Round 4 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Watched the game, without sound mind you. Long story short, we played practically a VFL standard team today on our home deck and I'm pretty okay with the win. No injuries a bonus, and some resting to Dangerfield and Blicavs was good. Thought Bowes was decent today, and his best game for us so far. Can't complain really with today, if we can beat the Dons next week then we are in good shape to play Finals this year.
We're going to need some improvement on today to beat Essendon.
If we breakeven in the midfield, which is an "if", then we should have them covered on our home deck. They are playing decent though the Bombers the past few matches.We're going to need some improvement on today to beat Essendon.
First things first.
Went to my first game in a while, courtesy of the Frank Costa Boardroom, Captain Morgan, Canadian Club and Jack Daniels were solid companions.
The Good,
- Ollie Henry played his most complete game, chased more, contested plenty and brought more defensive effort.
- Tyson Stengle welcome back with five goals and really should have been 6
- Close looked great, some really good goals.
- Holmes, Duncan, Danger and Bowes getting plenty of the ball.
- Miers, if he's getting 32 touches that can only mean plenty of score assists was great around the ground too.
- Atkins and Blitz tackling everything with help from Tanner (who keeps getting better) and Paddy
- Hawk was ok, but geez his feet were in cement today outside of his goals.
- Z.Guthrie, again like Miers him getting a lot of the ball means a lot of kicks going forward
- Though MOC was ok, normally don't notice him but he was getting up and down the ground well today
The not so good
- Oisen, geez, I'm not really sure he knows what he is doing out there, it will take time, his speed is ridiculous, hope he's taking the comp by storm in five years' time.
- The Piss take periods of the game, this had 100pts written all over it, and the amount of time wasted with chippy kicks to people in vaguely better positions was not something I wanted to see in person.
- Concentration, felt like there were times were we were just fartizing around with the ball with zero direction as to what we wanted to do, particularly through the middle of the ground.
- You look at some players and wonder why North isn't better Davies-Uniake is a gun, hard road for them, but they will be better,
Indulgence
- As a footy fan good to see North get around Boomer's kid when he kicked his first goal, that's the stuff that will build them back as a club again.
My two cents worth.
Honestly, I have no idea, I'm not sure I've ever seen an AFL listed player look so raw,5 years for Oisin??

If Blitz wasn't as tall as he is it would've taken him nearly 5 years to get up to scratch. Mullin is starting from further back and his position doesnt forgive errors very easily.5 years for Oisin??

It will take him time, that's ok. The issue is how often are we going to gift him games on potential while others are arguably playing better in the VFL.

This may well be the worst post of the year.Cats rout North
That title is hilariously bizarre. In this instance the term 'rout' is best described as "to force out as if by digging".
What a terrible game.
Oh, Mullin was exceptional! Seriously, Geelong has to beat at least 6 teams currently in the 8 after Nth to make a reasonable position on the ladder for the finals, so they pick Mullin to Gel with the group. He has no idea at present and won't for the remaining season.
Ratugolea is already playing for Port.
Dangerfield still injured.
Hawkins has only one job now, and that's to teach everything that he can possibly articulate to Ollie Henry. It's like watching an Elephant travelling towards it's grave.
Fun fact: Boomer played* well into his 60s.Gee I feel old now. It seems only a few years ago we were watching Boomer, now his boy is playing!
Speaking of which, sack the umpire that refused to bring the players back 10m from the side of the mark.I swear I'd have won some coin on that Dangerfield first quarter set shot from 15 meters out - never looked like it.
VFL form means shit when assessing players' likely 1sts performance.If Blitz wasn't as tall as he is it would've taken him nearly 5 years to get up to scratch. Mullin is starting from further back and his position doesnt forgive errors very easily.

That should be spieler.Nah. Too good a speller.
Just what we needed. Had the game won by 1/4 time, coasted a bit, avoided injuries, and had the opportunity to drill the gameplan. Letting the Irishmen Three have some fun in 2E's milestone game was nice too.
Stengle's set shots. What more can you say?
Blitz getting subbed off wrecked our structure. He's unbelievably important to us. Cotton wool was a wise call.
Gotta have Cameron, other possible changes don't matter much.Yeah i noticed the blitz bit too but i think this was the last chance we will get to rest him for the rest of the year so it had to be done.
I agree we coasted in the 2nd half and were merely ok.
A massive 8 point game next saturday if we want a finals spot. Hopefully we are on from the start. Will be some selection pressure next week.
Was Esava forward at one point as well?A good thing is we didn't see SDK do the ruck when Blitz was subbed off. Glad they gave that to Esava to do...
