AFLW Port Adelaide v Fremantle, Round 3, 2024 @ Alberton

[Ford Fairlane]

Adelaide stitching up Freo in Perth at the moment, we would have to confident to go 2-1 this season at Alberton next week and consolidate our spot in the 8.

Alex Ballard in for Janelle Cuthbertson?

So our performance against Adelaide last week looks even more impressive then?

Alex Ballard in for Janelle Cuthbertson?

Surely. Still not sold on her though.

Absolutely. We played very well that night and could easily have won that game. Then we shut out the Bulldogs on the MCG

Alex Ballard in for Janelle Cuthbertson?

This was my first thought. Hopefully, she can prove the doubters wrong.

The win over the Dogs was nice but the reality is they won the spoon last year and their list has gotten significantly worse since then. I'll be very surprised if they win 1 game this year.

They'd struggle to beat, if not lose to our 2022 team.

 

[Oversight]

Alex Ballard in for Janelle Cuthbertson?

Not sure that is how it will go. Ballard is shorter and slow so hardly like for like

 

[Grave Danger]

Imagine the ACL toll if the AFLW went to a full 22/23 game H&A season. Sydney's Chloe Molloy the latest victim - and that was done in training.

Alex Ballard in for Janelle Cuthbertson?

Seems like a slam dunk, Ballard's arguably the best currently available player who wasn't in last week's side. If we get any many more injuries we're in trouble though.

After this round we have a very cruel run where we play 3 games in 9 days.

I wonder if they'll stay over in Melb for the Tuesday game after playing there on the previous Friday.

It’s a shame to lose Cuthberson , she’s a natural at centre half back with her height and marking power .
I reckon Gemma would do well at centre half back but we’d miss her in the forward line . Good to see Window getting a bit more involved last week . Teakle is becoming a bit of a surprise packet and we’ve actually got a pretty dangerous forward line except for a clay small goalsneak .
I’m starting to get into the W more , if we start contending I can see myself becoming a full on fan

W is great. No narcissistic freakshows like Hinkley, Davies, Cornes, etc, and no overpaid man baby players turning their toes up at the first sign of pressure.

Yeah, it is very refreshing watching a Port team give it their all. Win, lose or draw.
When they are good enough to start making finals, I feel very confident that regardless of the results, they won't act like a bunch of cowards like their male counterparts do.

And a coach who doesn't talk like a loser even though she's basically coaching in a handicapped competition due to the staggered introduction of teams.

OUT: Janelle Cuthbertson
IN: Maddy Keryk

Selection: One change for Dockers clash

Port Adelaide has been forced into one change for its Round 3 clash against Fremantle.

[Marmozet]

Keryk is a half-forward so bringing her in for Cuthbertson is not like-for-like.

Alex Ballard's papers must be all but stamped

I seem to recall Keryk playing back for us last season?

Girls are cracking in so far

Aflw umpires lol

 

[Marmozet]

Perfect tackle goes penalized. AFLW umpiring is something else.
