Women's Footy Round 5, 2023 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

[dlanod]

She is a bit slow and probably not the best against a fast player. Otherwise playing well.

This I'd definitely agree with.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Smith has really stepped up this year. Going hard at the ball and kicking well for goal.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

It's ridiculous that this ground is used for games scheduled when the sun is such an issue in the mid to late afternoon

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Massive tackle

 

[MSB ROYS]

Hawks forgot how to defend when most of the team is not behind the ball.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Huge goal to Hampson, should be enough now

 

[MSB ROYS]

Massive tackle

Perhaps save a goal, one minute later a goal to the Lions.

 

[Ceebee]

Great comeback from the girls , playing tough footy .
Making Bates and Greta a bit uncomfortable .

 

[MSB ROYS]

That was better from Anderson. Nice handball and goal from Dawes.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Hawthorn full back likes to elbow to the stomache.

 

[MSB ROYS]

No, Libby Birch. Hawthorn played well attacking and then went defensive. Massive fail from Goddard.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

20 hit outs for Hickie - had a good game. Recipient of a few frees conceded in an attempt to keep her away from the ruck contests

 

[Mr Ripper]

These umpires…

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Anderson's Q4 has been much better

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

So guess who we play next week?

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Dakota has been massive today !

 

[MSB ROYS]

Final score. Lions. 8.11.59, Hawks 5.2.32.

The commentary team gave the moral win to the Hawks, but we'll take the 4 points thanks.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Daks, Ellinger, Hickie, Smith, Dawes my best

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Can't wait to be amongst all the Collingwood supporters in their fresh premiership gear next week, NOT

 

[MSB ROYS]

Coaches votes. I reckon Goddard gave Bates votes just to annoy Starce.

HAWTHORN v BRISBANE

8 - Ally Anderson (BL)
8 - Isabel Dawes (BL)
4 - Emily Bates (HAW)
4 - Dakota Davidson (BL)
2 - Jasmine Fleming (HAW)
2 - Tahlia Hickie (BL)
1 - Bridie Hipwell (HAW)
1 - Catherine Svarc (BL)

 

[ZoBlitz]

Yeah, I thought Bates was poor and seemed to turn the ball over whenever I saw her get the ball.

 

[AFLQLD]

Dawes is lifting to the level we needed her to. She is still adjusting to her central role but I think we have yet to see the best of her yet. She may genuinely be turning into the sort of player that turns games. That tackle on Sunday was an example of how she wills herself to have an impact.

Ellinger’s improvement has been noticeable and she has much more involvement in games than previous seasons. She is shaping as something of an important link player.

Hickie seems to be getting back to her best after what I thought was slow start to the season.

Dakota can take big marks and kick big goals and her stepping up into the key go-to forward role wouldn’t have seemed likely even mid last season. Now she plays like she owns the forward 50.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I feel also O'Dwyer this year (so far) is what I wanted from her last year. That entry i50 for the goal was awesome.
