Preview Round 10 v Geelong - Friday 1 November @ GHMBA Stadium

[cmndstab]

Aren't we playing a VFL favourite in a Melbourne prelim in that scenario?

Unless we win in week 1, we're pretty much guaranteed to get rogered by the umpires in the prelim.

Ask a Crows fan tomorrow when was the last time the Crows won at Geelong, and they'll say about 2003.
Good luck to the woman's team and I hope they do well, but at the end of the day who really gives a ****

I saw the Crows beat Geelong at Kardinia Park in early 2020

Yeah it was AFLW and I ****ing loved it - Been down there plenty of times and that's the only win I've seen

I cherish it as much as any Crows win

Just got home and watched the replay and geezus those umps are ****ing atrocious

our goalkicking and forward entries are just not clicking at all

Wish we could have Biddell at each end of the ground to get marks

Gould has become probably most important player behind Marinoff

Anonymous games from Kustermann, Martin, and Levy. (And Allen, but I've already potted her performance.) Levy seems to thrive in close contested games, but in more open games like this one she just can't get involved with her lack of pace. It was painful watching the ball go to space with her nearby, and a Geelong player just ran past her like she wasn't even moving. Kustermann I like as a player, but I couldn't even tell you where she's playing at the moment. And Martin tried hard, but her most effective pressure acts today were spoiling Marinoff and blocking one of our I50 entries. Sadly, the cupboard is a bit bare for replacing them, especially if Ponter is injured.

There was also that moment in the 3rd where Martin just randomly kept on running after the ball after Ponter had grabbed it just inside 50 and Martin just ran straight into her and dispossessed her, has absolute tunnel vision. Also she isn’t alone in doing this but she also always does that really annoying thing where if a teammate is under pressure from an opponent or getting tackled instead of stopping and standing a few metres away from them so she can be used to get a handball out she instead just runs into the contest instead & ends up being totally useless.
