Just stand there and let her mark uncontested
Deplorable

Took us all game to score a goal and we let North kick 2 quick ones
Channel 7 can't even spell Adelaide.
Thank god that's over what an absolute garbage team
I don't know who's gonna stop North. It feels like everyone is playing for 2nd place.

How are teams like Essendon meant to compete against sides like North who have have 6-7 year head start

...Heaps of people have talked about Montana Ham in terms of being the next mythical "face of the league". I don't know why anybody would think that's a controversial statement in need of proof. But here's an example:
She might've cost them the win by missing really easy shots in the first quarter, which in turn put lesser players under the pump later on (who then proceeded to also miss easy shots).
If you know anything about scoreboard pressure, I don't need to explain the statement further.
I'm willing to bet you could find posters on the WC board who felt like they could've won the game with better kicking for goal. Again, not sure why anybody would think that's controversial.
Do you think we were a foundation club?

Randall from crows concussed?
And the pies james?
And the pies james?
Ham's averaging 12 possessions a game this season. Got 20 possies once in her career. Anyone saying this at this stage needs their head read.
So let me get this correct if Roberts converts her 2 shots at goal then the scoreboard could feasibly transform from 1 goal 6 to 6 goals 1 and a WC win?
She must be feeling terrible.
You guys came in 2019 so you have 6 years worth of development

North have only played 4 more seasons than Essendon, but we are in different phases in our team's "journey". The Bombers are still developing their team, while North are playing for Premierships.
I don't see it we have too many players that are poorly skilled and and a coach who's crap.
Imo the majority of the team should have been players from our vflw premisership side and Brendon Major as coach we only have one from that side in Georgia Nanscawen and guess what she one of our best every week

I think a few of those Essendon VFLW players have found themselves in North's VFLW team. I'm pretty sure Alana Barba and Renee Tierney played for the Bombers at VFLW level and may have played in your AFLW team as well.
I should but I'm not. they make the same poor skill errors as the men and pretty much useless like them so I cant win
Barba did play then got axed.
Still have Sophie Alexander and Jacqui Vogt from the vflw side iirc

Most people just say "next face of the league" to describe a talented and exciting young player (which would obviously be fitting for Ham).
But to those who are seriously referring to it as if it's an official title/position ("no no no, she should be the next face of the league")... please get a grip.
I wouldn't imagine she's thrilled about missing those very easy shots (especially compared to the difficulty of the marks which enabled the shots). And she too probably thinks kicking those would've given them a much better chance of winning the game.
