Women's Footy Round 1, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. North Melbourne

[ZoBlitz]

Oooo, I forgot I could do puns for the women's threads too!

I told a joke on a Zoom Meeting and no-one laughed…

It turns out I'm not remotely funny.

 

[Perrip]

No reigning AFLW Premier has ever won the Grand Final rematch.

No pressure Lions.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Early poll as I'll be out and about.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions. Going to be a hot game.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

First premiership flag unfurling I've attended in, ooh, 20-odd years. Lovely. Let's do it again soon

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

North making sure all traces of the flag have left the field before showing up out of the rooms

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Kicking against a breeze worth about 1-2 goals at the moment

Can this chick commentator cheerlead any harder for North Melbourne?

 

[Mr Ripper]

f me these umpires

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Need to restrict the damage they can do with the wind, because tired players in the last quarter in this heat will struggle

 

[Mayestro]

Ex Brisbane player Kate McCarthy? I thinks she’s doing ok?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

We're ok though, getting plenty of the ball

 

[Helicon1]

f me these umpires

Think they flew them up from whitten oval

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Unfortunately their defenders are dominating at the moment and catching us on the hop

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Wow, what a cheap shot

 

[Paul Mac]

Have to see again but that did not look good

Kicking against a breeze worth about 1-2 goals at the moment

At least that. Blowing to the right forward pocket right of screen.

That last goal was a shame but I thought we played the breeze quite well for the most part. Used the open wing and short passed whenever we could.

Hopefully we can be a bit smarter in this quarter than to blindly bomb long to their spare defenders.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Beautifully judged kick, and we're on the board through Daks

 

[Elixuh]

We’ve adopted the men’s strategy for inside 50s lol

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Didn't need that

 

[Grasshopper17]

We’ve adopted the men’s strategy for inside 50s lol

We've certainly adopted the men's playbook of handballing backwards in contested ball situations.

 

[Grasshopper17]

We've certainly adopted the men's playbook of handballing backwards in contested ball situations.

And conceding goals from defensive 50 stoppages.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

There are some loud North supporters here who are very excited at the prospect of being present for a Roos win

 

[Elixuh]

Norfs gameplan is hurting us big time. They’re really troubling us and taking away our strengths.
