AFLW Autopsy Round 1, 2022: Essendon v Hawthorn, 27 August 2022, 7.10pm @ Marvel Stadium

[jenniferHAWKinS]

6 more inside 50’s. Baffling free kicks going to the bummers.

 

[heh]

The polish definitely lacking, but kind of expected.
Like the endeavour and feel there is a bit to work with.
Am enjoying.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Brown can kick the ball with that left foot, need to get it in her hands more

 

[Davo-27]

we're playing so well, but our forwards cant kick a goal for all the dominance we've had and then essendon just get free in their forward line and kick easy goals

Jasmine Fleming showing a lot, has been great so far, kicking is top shelf so far
Zoe Barbakos has been our best forward so far, nice goal and plenty of pressure/tackles
Kaitlyn Ashmore has been solid on the wing/flank
Teghan Cunningham has been a strong KPP for us too
Tamara Smith has been big in the midfield, her tackling is aggressive and shes quick
Tamara Luke has been good in the ruck and around the ground, but we might need her forward because our forwards arent getting the job done and Lucy Wales seems solid in the ruck anyway
Catherine Brown is doing great with kick ins and defensive efforts overall

our midfield seems to be doing great, our defense can be a bit shaky at times, our forwards other than Barbakos just have not been dangerous at all and turn the ball over too easily

i would put Tamara Luke up forward to give us a real marking target and give the ball to Fleming for i50's as often as possible

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

We seem a lot quicker than them at ground level. Need to put speed on the game even if it is a quick low ball inside 50. Our intensity is great.

 

[Davo-27]

Charlotte Baskaran isnt liking being in the backline, put her mid or forward, might get her into the game?
Carbone is doing ok
Deed has been a solid mid too
need more from our medium/tall ladies
Lucas-Rodd has been clever with disposal as well

our midfield seems a strength, just need the other zones to step it up a bit.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Essendon love their throw passes. And the umpires are blind to them.

 

[deanc]

We seem a lot quicker than them at ground level. Need to put speed on the game even if it is a quick low ball inside 50. Our intensity is great.

Sure, our endeavour is great, be good to trade some of that for an occasional mark and some composure around goal though...

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Great snap, Perko. Love it.

 

[Symons]

Superb snap from Perkins.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Great work to force the turnover on the goal line and to poke it through. Scores level.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Great goal! Should have been holding the ball!!

 

[HawkInExile]

Great work Zoe!!!
Locke has been great up forward too

 

[spudmaster]

This is better!
Keep going hawkers.

 

[Off The Couch]

Great pressure - deserved the goal
Well done girls

 

[Symons]

Ridiculous that it wasn't holding the ball, but good goal awareness.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Alright! It's on!

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Great goal, how was that not holding the ball

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Female umpire has a bomber top underneath.

 

[deanc]

C'mon girls, send these Bombers sheila's home with nothing to show for their efforts...

BTW, about 12,000 there apparently, would this be the biggest crowd of the AFLW round thus far - regardless, great turn out for two debutant teams..!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

In front for the first time since early in the game.

 

[Messenger]

Cunningham. Great work.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Bombers take the lead back with a strong mark and cool and straight kick.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Chance for Essendon to add on with a set shot in front of goals. Couple of lapses in concentration costing Hawthorn.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Second set shot misses. Bombers by six points.
