Women's Footy Round 3, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood

[MSB ROYS]

Ruby clearly didn’t complete the bouncing practice with Cathy

She should practise touching the ball on the ground. She has to bend down and pick up the ball anyway!

 

[Elixuh]

These umps are top notch

Yes, we are certainly getting a few frees. Currently 20 - 8. Most were there though.

Wind could be contributing but a few gettable goals missed. Importantly for % pies still on 8 points.

 

[Elixuh]

We are all over them so I agree

 

[MSB ROYS]

Final score. Lions 72, Pies 20.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Poll is up.

 

[AFLQLD]

Grider, Koenen and Campbell just cleaned things up at the back and there was some good overlap run out of defence. Tay Smith played well up forward, although missed a couple of gettable ones. Conway looked dangerous and knew when to run. Dawes is always in the game. I thought it was Orla’s best game of the season so far.

At top gear we made Collingwood look a bit pedestrian.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Always nice to beat the Pies, but not getting too excited given their injury crisis. Bit rich of their fans to complain about being a foundation club and being raided, having lost just one decent player to an expansion team. Some of us get raided again and again and still manage to get back up every season

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Was a solid hitout, and good to do it without a dominant Ally. Ellenger and Conway were outstanding, but I had Grider BOG for us.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Also, it's noticeable that our ruckcraft has inproved this season. And I like the three ruck approach with Hartill in the mix.

Did Dawes end up coming back on after the late hit that they never replayed?

 

[Perrip]

Did Dawes end up coming back on after the late hit that they never replayed?

She isn't mentioned as an injury in the match report and was interacting with fans afterwards, so unless she gets delayed concussion symptoms, she should be fine.

Gotta say, I think the backline looked much better balanced without Lutkins. At the ground it really stands out how strong Koenen and Campbell are, but they need dynamic runners around them.

Thought Hickie did a great job of negating Frederick, jumped over her when she had space and tangled her up when in close.

Smith is showing the benefits of a big preseason. She has lost a bit of her baby giraffe appearance and looks much better balanced and able to hold her position.

But our fleet of smalls strangled them. We just had way too many good players with too much class, run and pressure across the park.

Those %'s look quite large?

 

[Jivlain]

Those %'s look quite large?

Per the rules as I could find them, the tiebreaker is the percentages added together. So that is what I have done.

Per the rules as I could find them, the tiebreaker is the percentages added together. So that is what I have done.

I haven't been able to work out if the W's for and against counts double towards percentage or not, has this been confirmed either way?

Percentage is inherently normalised, so there would be no need to double it.

Here's how the AFL described it:

AFL and AFLW combined Champion Club introduced

The McClelland Trophy will now be awarded to the club that performs the best across both the AFL and AFLW competitions

[BrainOfMorbius]

Oh hang on -- I was assuming that they would total points for and against in both comps to produce the overall percentage, but in fact they're just adding them together? Huh. Wild. I guess it works though

Evie Long getting a run, wonder who they will rest.

Academy Kid to AFLW Debutant

For the second straight week, the Brisbane Lions will unveil more Academy talent with Evie Long set to debut against the Western Bulldogs on Wednesday night.

[AFLQLD]

A good game for a debut. She seems to have plenty in of attributes to make it. I suspect the debutants will replace one another for a couple of weeks so they all get a taste of it early. Unless there is an injury.

Shannon Campbell is the confirmed out. Being managed.
