AFLW Round 2 Geelong vs Western Bulldogs Sat 9th 19:15 Whitten Oval

And other wasted shot .... this game has all the elements that gathers criticism in all footy...too many around the ball..too much scrums and whats worse the girls do not have the skills to breakaway from it.

 

[hoopla]

Probably glad I didn’t go to the game now - might’ve yelled something obscene in front of all the kids at the ground when that mark wasn’t paid.

Story of our game has been not making the most of chances despite owning large passages of the game.

Phoebe looks super-dangerous. Just needs better accuracy.

It was a “Leigh Colbert v Adelaide 1997” sort of mark.

This game is like the Doggies game against Adelaide. Apart from a 5 minute patch in the 2nd term in both games, they've been outplayed, but their opponents haven't made the most of their opportunities in front of goal. 1.11 last week to the Crows, 2.4 thus far tonight, plus about 3 or 4 other chances where we didn't score.

This is where the loss of Morrison really bites; she had the athleticism and class to take the ball outside the contest and then use it.

The Bulldogs have flooded back and counter-attacked like any AFL team worth their salt would.

We've had plenty of the ball, plenty of opportunities but just nowhere clean or organised enough tonight so far.

Q3 Stats

 

[winty]

Love how 7 don't show the free kick stats.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

No one to blame buy ourselves... McWilliams missed two absolute sitters thats 1/4.
Garing exclellent that 1/4, is up to about 10 tackles, and doing a lot of the bullocking work, Keryk busy as well and Van Da Heuvel had about 4-5 inside 50s. Small forwards not getting under the bigger forwards, and just not working hard enough

 

[Hello Kitty]

Can tell I’m emotionally invested in our AFLW team because I’m swearing at the umps quite loudly...

 

[winty]

Missing Rocky Cranston tonight. She'd have at least brought a few defenders out of our 50 when kicking with the wind as she is one who could cover the distance with the breeze at her back, not to mention having a strong body in the middle of the ground.

To a point its like watching junior sport ..just do not have the skills required to do it ina crowed game..and not enough strength to spread out and kick it to position. We handpass to close target as it doesnt take too make to shovel the ball 10M

 

[Hello Kitty]

How many frees have the Dogs had this quarter? Absolute joke.

Free kicks for the game Bulldogs 19 to Cats 9

Cannot wait for Rocky to return. We're also really missing Nina.

The umpire in the #10 jumper has to be a bulldogs member ...

And surely there's better players in the country than Hoare.

 

[winty]

Hope Jordan Ivey hasn't done her knee again. Looked very proppy getting up there.

 

[Drunkcat]

Umpire number 10 should not even be umpiring u12 dog

 

[Hello Kitty]

We need to remember this is our first year playing in AFLW + only our second game + we're playing the 2018 Premiers. We need to remember all of it + be patient.

Considering it is only our second game, let's cut the Girlz some slack?

 

[winty]

And surely there's better players in the country than Hoare.

I know she's a doctor, but with the hand-eye co-ordination she's shown tonight, I hope she's not a surgeon.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Seriously winty, the coverage is so biased! So anti-Cats + no leniency afforded for our second game!

 

[Hello Kitty]

'Dog' being the operative word!

 

[frggr]

Jeeez, dropping marks - unforgivable

Love you winty! Sheer gold!

 

[winty]

Wouldn't mind all the holding the ball frees the Dogs are getting if our tackles were rewarded the same way, but the inconsistency is staggering.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Van de Heuvel took a Mark, didn't she? So why was the tackle paid? Am I blind?

Not the required distance apparently
