AFLW Port Adelaide vs Melbourne - Trial Match 2 @ Alberton

[Oversight]

Few observations:

• Shineah Goody looks elite! Clear best on ground
• Molly Brooksby is very skilful. She can kick really well on both of her feet.
• Piper Window has an unusual kicking action
• Caitlin Wendlend gave us plenty at half-forward
• Kirsty Lamb will bolster our midfield. She'll be good at getting the ball and then dishing it out to the likes of Abbey Dowrick etc.
• I liked Olivia Levicki's game. She was really able to help out Matilda Scholz in the ruck and was able to drift back and take some important marks. One of our most important players IMO. If Scholz ever goes down then we will badly need her.
• Like a couple of others have already mentioned, Sachi Syme looks to have improved. Kicked a good goal after showing ferocious attack on the footy.
• Teagan Germech had a fair presence down back. Looks to be a handy replacement for Hannah Dunn.
• Cheyenne Hammond was a whipping girl in our first season but she looks to have continued her improvement from last year.

I watched the game as well and this was a great summary. I think players like Ballard and Keryk will struggle to get games as they are lacking speed and we now have multiple girls of that size that are just better. I wonder even Mules may find herself under pressure as Wendland looked better already

I’m still an Alex Ballard fan. She was a rock in our defence in our first season, which is even more impressive in a first-year team because the ball was constantly coming down that end of the ground, and she was only 19 too.

i agree with you, but I think the question on Blex has never been her ability to play stopper, its been her hurt factor on the rebound.
