Keep the good form rolling Power.
Port in the 8, looks like Lauren no getting sacked then, target finals.
No seriously another good win by the ladies, they are starting to improve quickly now.

Our run home:
We couldn’t, could we?
- 17th at home
- 10th at home (who we’ve matched up very well on since we joined the comp)
- 18th
- 16th at home
We couldn’t, could we?

Faith, in my Port Adelaide. Nonsense.
Context is everything. After winning only 3 games in our previous two seasons, making the eight this year would be an achievement. However, if this were Arnell's 12th season then it would be inconceivable that the bar would be set that low.
Wouldn't it?

After the brutal first part of our draw, we come home against sides in a more equitable tier of experience and level. Given this is at least a 2 speed competition, we will have done really well.
I thought we looked much better against Adelaide than we ever had even though we lost, the 2 away games against top 4 teams were frustrating but understandable. Even the home loss to a Freo who are knocking on the door of the top 4 was a near thing.
West Coast have been a surprise packet this year and we took them down comfortably away.
Fingers crossed.

Who was the brain dead moron at AFL House who decided to schedule a Port home game against the Socceroos playing one of their rare games in Adelaide?

The Socceroo game is all but a sell out, there will be 50,000 there.
It's an idiotic piece of scheduling that cannot be justified. There was no reason to put those two games up against each other.

At least there's one Port team I can be passionate about - go girls!!!
Their attack on the ball against Freo was great
And their distribution from the stoppage was noteworthy
But the bomb it long dump kick was killing me
It's improving yet still has a long way to go
But there is hope

Kirsty Lamb and Sachi Syme are handy ins for a team that’s heavy favourites to win their third on the trot.
Hopefully they'll keep Collingwood to less goals than the Subway Socceroos in Adelaide tonite!

The girls really turned a corner in that performance against Carlton, then backed it up with a huge come from behind win in the West. It makes this now the most important game in the brief history of the team.
We must win and win comfortably. Our percentage is ok Vs those around us, but if we could take advantage of playing the equal bottom side at home and jump up in line with the Saints, we're putting ourselves firmly in finals contention. A 5 to 6 goal win would do it and put us in the 8 at the end of the round.
The disconnecting gap in the comp though is still silly though.
0-4 against the current top 6
3-0 against the rest

Yep, what kind of f**kwit doesn't go forward in time to check for clashes like that?
(AFLW fixture was announced 30/5/2024, Soccoroos game was announced 17/7/2024)
They've had nearly 3 months to change it around. If only the AFL could be flexible with game scheduling
Don't fret, Hinkley isn't involved here. They will get the job done.
Two short midfielders for two talls seems very strange selection given a winning team last two weeks. My concern is Matilda is very young and a very big body so I hope they dont burn her out.
