AFLW Hawthorn vs Port Adelaide - Round 7 @ Frankston

[RossFC]

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

A must win game if we want to finish in the 9th to 14th slots rather than 15th to 18th slots.

No surprise 5 of the top 8 are inaugural sides, and 2 of the other 3 slots are filled by the first 2 expansion sides North and Geelong.

No surprise GWS has slide so far down, Sydney taking their players hurt, Sydney/NSW talent pool is shallow, but Freo's slide is surprising? Is that driven by KPF Gemma Houghton leaving?? What is Carlton's excuse for sliding so far? They only just missed finals the last 2 seasons.

 

[Marmozet]

This could be our last chance at a win all year.

We definitely won’t beat North Melbourne, probably won’t beat St Kilda and Essendon will be very 50-50.

 

[Marmozet]

Looking forward to heading down to Franksghanastan for this one.

It’s exciting that one of the Cockatoo-Motlap twins is debuting, and I’m glad that my girl Jade Halfpenny is back in.

Duursma and Goodwin are both a bit stiff if you ask me, and De Melo has been one of our best avenues to goal this year so hopefully others can step up and kick a winning score.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Was disappointed Sachi got dropped as she was starting to find real form. Glad she is back. Adds pressure in every situation.

Must win game. Hawks and Port have been very similar since they were announced so this is our real benchmark I feel.

We've had three or four of these "personal reasons" so far - is this just a, you know, women's thing?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

A must win game for us, otherwise we will end up in 15th-18th position on the ladder come the end of the season.

The 4 new teams have won 5 games and 2 draws. 3 of the wins have come from playing against each other.

The 2 wins against established sides have both been against wooden spooners West Coast first by Essendon in Perth in Rd 3 they belted them 84 v 32, and Hawks last week won at Frankston where tonight's game is, by 3 pts.

Both Essendon at home in Rd 2 and Port away the next round drew with Carlton.

That's a papa g type comment...

I would believe it would make them play better... Bit more aggressive

I'm still hoping we do a reverse Hinkley, finish 5-4-1 and just scrape into the finals.

Good luck ladies.

She's missed the last two away games.

We need to do something about our scoring ability. We get the ball into our forward 50 often enough but cannot capitalise.

[TazD]

Lmao, hows the sunset

 

[Marmozet]

Erin Phillips way too strong

 

[Marmozet]

Hot start so far

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Dominating but cant get goals. Bloody terrible picture with the sun obscuring yellow ball for shots on goal at our end.

 

[Marmozet]

How was that a throw in? She kicked it out on the full

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Erin looking more mobile than any game this year.

[TeeKray]

Getting a bit of love from the umps so far.

Great start, we're dominating every aspect of the game.

 

[StuMan]

Yiss, Levicki!

We needed that reward for all those i50.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Getting that goal was important. Decent run from the umps so far. But I know it wont last.

 

[raptalia]

We lead inside 50's 10-0 but only have one goal to show for it.
