Ponter is over weight and unfit. Must out the effort in over off season. Maybe she should start training with Randall

Good to at least get on the score board
Hopefully the club is looking hard at this finals series to work out which of our players are not up to it. It's not like North are going to get any worse in the coming seasons and Brisbane have had the wood on us since day dot. We need to improve.
Mueller, Kustermann, Levy, I'm sorry. Just not up to it when it really count. Martin, Ballard, Munyard and Tonon, on thin ice.

The standard of umpiring in the AFLW is subpar.
Every game there's a tonne of poor calls, I think the AFL needs to definitely address it.

If those play on decisions were made in a mens match you'd be hearing about it for weeks.
Thompson
Commentators talking about Crows forwards being caught out of position. Nope. They are doing exactly what they are told to do. It’s the game plan. Clarke needs to be willing to adjust it between this year and next

The umpires don't make you drop uncontested marks in the defensive 50. It's just too neat an excuse that we always fall back on.
They get into finals, they don't execute in the big moments, that's the reason the premierships have dried up.
Thompson is another on thin ice, although wouldn't be first on my list to replace. Then there's Ponter and Hatchard needing to lift and get back to their best.
Also, as much as I've loved Jess Allan's season, I can't even remember the last time she marked the ball. Seems to spill it every time.
One of the umpires is a Brisbane Lions member.Oh and Brisbane got away with missing two goals from the goal square in the first quarter. They could do that, but apparently we needed to be perfect
surely not
- Clarke should take the financial hit in the press confrence and unload
dont give a **** if it looks like whinging, that was blatant bullshit
any Lion who doesn't agree is a ****ing flog

The AFL is probably just happy that they're red hot on holding the ball, regardless of correctness
In terms of umpiring vs our own bad play, I don't see why it needs to be one or the other.
The umpiring was atrocious today, as it always is up in Brisbane, and it cost us serious momentum and gifted Brisbane goals they didn't deserve.
We also didn't play well enough in the second half to win.

Not that Clarke would ever do that, but if he was going to do it, he should save it for a match we lose by a goal or so, not several goals. Then you just look like you're whinging and people disregard it.

If true, that needs to be called out.
We weren't good enough to win in the end (I turned it back on after HT which was a huge mistake), but no way should that be allowed.
Like the last 3 times we've played them
Two goals either side of half time were ****ing bullshit
The HTB against us that lead to the goal that got them within a goal
and then play on at the start of the third qtr
then momentum did the rest

If he didn't fire up after the match earlier this season, he never will.

AFLW could probably benefit from being full time with a longer season. Build the fitness of the players to improve the skill execution. Also the rapid team expansion was a mistake.
I had to laugh at the commentary after the HTB was paid against Munyard.
"Oh, it looked like Munyard was just going to run all the way into goal! (Really? From 100m out?) But then an excellent tackle stopped her."
"Actually it looks like it hit her boot... pretty harsh decision."
"Yep, it was an excellent tackle! And you can't expect the umpire to see that it hit her boot, there were too many players in that contest."
Sure, why not?

Agree to a degree. I think there were 4 really bad umpiring decisions that hurt Adelaide today: 2 play-on calls in the 3rd, and Ponter getting shoved in the back after two kicks to nobody in the forward line.
3 of them involved horrible skill/decision errors from Adelaide players though. The correct thing for a coach/senior players to do there is to have players forcus on their own game first.
