AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[The Nostradamus]

With 2 weeks til the next game I’d like to see us have an intense training block week replicating that pressure against us

Then the following week leading into the prelim decrease the loads and freshen up

Speaking of boundary umpires, one of them called a mark as okay to one of our girls in the third quarter, when from where I and others were sitting was clearly out on the full. It was roughly halfway between the 50 metre arc, and the behind post at the Crows end and would have given them a very handy free to mount an attack at goal. Oh well, you can't help bad luck sometimes can you.

I reckon that boundary umpire briefly started extending arms before a change of mind

Speaking of marks. There was a kick paid to Adelaide in the 2nd or 3rd I think around the 50m line that seriously could not have gone more than 6-7m. Absolute shit show.

 

[kool kangas]

I’m sympathetic towards the boundary umpires on this one. They are asked to come in 20m between the arcs then told to throw the ball towards the centre circle.

Why? if they throw it in from the boundary line then it would open up the game in the middle of the ground more...l can understand shortening the game because of endurance but bringing in the throw-ins just doesn't make sense to me.

And not a word from the commentary team, then craven takes one minutes later and its derided by them.

One of the things that I liked about the 3rd qtr turnaround was that it wasn’t just Garner and co turning things around by themselves. Amy Smith played a really good qtr and kicked that excellent goal. Tess Craven got involved after an indifferent first half. Alice O’Loughlin lifted and Bella Eddey was fantastic. Her two goals were similar in that they both highlighted her work rate/repeat efforts and ability to finish. Ruby Tripodi was another to get going that qtr.
I thought that Gatt was one of the more consistent 4 qtr players from the younger brigade. Shannon was another that was solid throughout.

We are invincible.

The standard of the match in Fremantle isn't good.

It's awful. I can't watch it. 5 metre kicks paid as marks (well, if kicks are going longer than 15 metres in today's match then nobody is going to mark anyway). Umps giving frees to move the ball on. Most possessions are turn overs - players have more chance of an oppo coughing up the ball to them than a teammate effectively passing it.

Not good that this is a final in a national competition.

I was enjoying the chanting by the kids towards the end there. I even joined in once or twice.

It’s sad to see what’s happening with Brooke. She was becoming a really valuable asset with us but seems to have gone backwards. Directly cost them 2 goals with poor handling skills. Daria played well.

I suspect that Essendon fell for the same trap that a few people on here did when they swiped her away from us - thinking that she was our tall key defender when she was never a key defender. She was developing into a running ball carrier off half back who just happened to be tall. We rarely had her play on tall forwards. Like I say, I think Essendon might be playing her out of her best position.

Elder abuse?

By the way, is that a world record for spelling mistakes in one short sentence. Three mistakes.

I think he does it on porpoise.

 

[Caracas]

Yes. My understanding is that wherever they throw the ball in from, they are supposed to aim it towards the centre circle where the game starts from. Watching from just beside the interchange benches in the last quarter, the boundary umpire was throwing the ball to some point roughly midway between the centre circle and the edge of the square in the Crows forward 50. It didn't make a huge difference but it did shift the ball closer to their attacking zone.

At the ground, I noticed that too, H. It looked really odd. I just put it down to my lack of knowledge of boundary throw-in protocol.

After watching the replay, with an ounce of luck, Vicki Wall could have had at least 3 or 4 goals instead of 2 behind's, her time is coming.
