AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Maybe when we are a bit more settled and experienced we could afford to try a horses for courses approach but I think at the moment we need continuity more than anything, first unchanged side since Rd2 2017 so I think it’s good for team chemistry to keep it as settled and stable as possible especially coming up against an in form outfit like Port.
Yes hang in there Mate .. must be very frustrating .. I'm in Singapore and we just came out of 2 months Lockdown the thought of a second go is daunting ..
Agreed. We need a good start (yet again).
Yes those short entries that pop up made it impossible to defend max for those two mark..
Plus I think we learned from previous matches and pulled our press back a bit so that it wasn’t too crowded inside our 50 like it was in there’s with there much higher denser press, this is something we learned from the Cats game specifically, where we got lots of entries but it was hard to score because of the density of players squashed up high, pull back the press a bit and it opens it up for easier scoring.
Small forwards have been our Achilles for sometime ..
Yeah was surprised he didn’t pull the fake then step inside and hit one of his beautiful bananaanananas he is so good at.
Plow gets the most dangerous medium or small forward every time so I expect the same and like usual he will get the job done with one or two small brain farts.
I love Pitto. He's like a giant Gibbo, very physical, but not aggressive. These types encourage the others, it's been our missing link.
Your spot on about his physicality but i think whats actually impressed me most about him is hands, watching last weeks game I was surprised at how clean he was below his knees for a gentleman his size.
Rozee is strong overhead and would outmark Williamson. Docherty would be a better match up. Plowman usually does the job on well built medium side forwards and as for Butters would give first crack to Williamson. Play Samo loose.
I haven't watched many of their games this season, so haven't kept an eye on him. I'm taking notice of how he's going tonight; English has out-marked him on a few occasions. Phillips's been a reasonable tap ruckman, but seems to be challenged tonight. Its not the first time English has done ok on him.
Tip rat Milne says hello....
Helping out down back a lot and feeling the pressure a bit. Will need to tidy it up a bit if he maintains that role. I’ll back the lad to grow into the role and add some silk back there.
Big test for SPS. Can he negate and run off one of them? You’d think he would get one of them to keep a Doc off an accountable role. Simmo an option too.
