Review Preliminary Final v Brisbane - Saturday 23 November @ Brighton Homes Arena

[cmndstab]

I'm so ****ing tense watching this, haha.

How good is Chelsea Randall? As if I wasn't already enamoured with her, she's had an incredible finals series so far. She wants to win another flag so damn bad.

A few of our lesser players having pretty good games. Martin and Tonon both looking the best they've looked all year. Hatchard playing well too other than a couple of awful disposals late in Q2. Charlton getting involved.

Ponter owes us a match-winning performance. The second half of the prelim would be a good time to do it!

Someone needs to teach the umpires about the concept of prior opportunity...

Female ump pays every Brisbane tackle holding the ball

The umpiring has certainly changed up for Brisbane in the second term.

 

[RePete]

Some corrupt umpiring. Feel like we have got a really bad deal with the umps in a lot of the games against the top teams this year. If we want to win this, we are going to have to really earn it. Props to Randall and Gould with those killer marks and goals. Come on girls, keep the intensity and killer instinct and get a win.

Hatchard greatly overrated. She just gives the ball away stupidly most of the time. Randall, on the other hand............

I don't mind if she turns the ball over Marinoff style from hack kicks... but it's when she pinpoints an opposition that does my head in.

The team game has been superb. However, Brisbane starting to handball run through packs a worry. I suspect we will get very tired in the last and lose, but would love to be wrong.

It looks like she's physically struggling to kick the ball properly

Umpiring up in Brisbane always seems very suss to me

If Crows make it to the GF, you know the umps will be favouring North big time. Would have to be absolutely perfect to win it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So nice that Gould and Randall nailed those set shots that quarter. We've made things so hard for ourselves in other games by missing those

She's always been a bit of a dodgy kick. At least she's marking the ball today.

 

[DJ75]

That mark from Randall was unbelievable

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wow, Port made a prelim. Impressive but damn those Kangas just too good.

I have lost count of the number of times a Brisbane player drops the ball when tackled and it is play on.
And the number of times a Crows player is dumped after a disposal and nada. Let alone all of the holds, pushes and behind the play cr@p Brisbane get away with. Its criminal.

After the heat of last weeks game, its very possible and almost to be expected. A lot possibly going against us in the last half.

That's why I'd play her forward. Winning one on one's is her strength.
Disposal out of the middle just isn't good enough.

Umpiring feels really uneven tonight. It’s tough being here and watching it. Playing the port song was heckin'g embarrassing they had one job FFS!

Uneven is a really charitable way of putting it

No doubt it was deliberate too

12 vs 7 with some really dubious frees to Brisbane, like HTB with no prior.

 

[Moonwatcher]

WOW unlucky

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

heck

I though that was in

Edit: heck? Lame

 

[Scorpus]

Fuuuuuck

 

[1990crow]

Jesus Hatchard that was village cricket bad

 

[1990crow]

And then they don't pay that
