AFLW Port Adelaide vs St Kilda - Round 8 @ Alberton

[Coobk001]

How are we only 15 points up?

1 goal last half.

Disappointing finish really. Especially the last couple goals. First time we've taken the foot off in a while.

Good win though. Were clearly better for most of the night. Amazing opportunity now to finish in the top 8. Play 16th and 18th in next 2 weeks. If we can win both we could even get a home final. The percentage we lost at the end will probably hurt though.

I was hoping you could maybe make sure we never see them again.

They sleep with the fishes

Tilds loves the camera lol.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

St Kilda looked alright when our best player was off. At least Tilda should be ok, just a painful knock.

We looked tired at the end after defending against 21 on the ground all night.

Free kicks finished 23-11

Any chance the girls could enjoy the win without the 20 questions?

Really nice to see Shineah Goody play like that again as she unfortunately hadn’t done much since Round 1 against the Crows.

I'm still watching the final 5 minutes but had to come in to see how Scholz is.

Thank ****ing god she seems ok. It didn't look like a bad injury - usually a straight knock is just a bump.

Anyway great win. All done with frenetic pressure in the first.

Quite a few girls had their best ever game I thought - they all rose to the occasion. Says a lot about Arnell in addition to the players themselves.

Umpiring definitely soured the watching experience, but right now who cares. In the 8, positive win-loss, and with a massive opportunity to play our first ever AFLW final.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The girls have come so far since season 1. Imagine if we had all our best players available.

Great to see so many young people in the crowd.

Cuthbertson, Tahau, Ewings, Young, Dunn and Teakle all missing from tonight.

Imagine if you included all of them in tonight's team.

4 on the trot seems unbelievable considering where we've come from and the way we were starting to trend earlier in the year. Solid wins too. All against sides in our capability zone, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th. All knocked off.

I'm trying to enjoy the win but the Matilda Scholz thing frightened the living crap out of me.

Teakle, Tahau, Ewing's and Young are the ones that'd make us better IMO.

What a game from Germech. Boag improving our of sight. So much to like.

Goody was great, but by god does she make bad decisions. Needs a good coach that one.

2.5 wins last year, 1.5 the year before. We have really stepped up this season. It's great the new kids can step right up straight away, we have some serious young talent.

 

[Marmozet]

It's so nice to have a Port Adelaide team that I can be passionate and excited about again.

I really can't wait to experience that feeling with our men's team.

[Expat power]

Loving the AFLW this season. These girls bring so much to Alberton, really feels like they’re far more available to the supporters.

 

[JimmyBC]

Probably the most interesting arm of the club it's nice to see something grow without the baggage.

Where are the Arnell haters now?

Legitimately where are they? Remember after every loss there would be a bunch of people come into the game thread and tee off at Arnell and the entire W programme? Bit quiet on that front lately.

 

[TeeKray]

Teakle, Tahau, Ewing's and Young are the ones that'd make us better IMO.

Tahau would be a great addition at either centre half forward or centre half back. It's easy to forget that she was in our top few players in the first season and a half.

Cuthbertson and Teakle slot in nicely.

Reckon Dunn and Ewings both battle to get a game in this team.

Hard to know where Young fits but presumably she's straight in ala the rest of the high end draftees.

And the criticism basically boiled down to "we'd be better if a man was coaching us" rather than anything based on anything resembling a fact or data.

I actually think the amount of blokes involved in AFLW coaching across the league is what should be questioned, feels a bit like another job for the boys outlet when it should be more of a pathway for women to coach.
