AFLW Round 8 - 2024 AFLW season

15-point deficit for Brisbane, probably take that given the way they stumbled through the first half like Jade Ellenger threw a party last night.

Geelong have yo-yo'd all year, so a Lions runover job feels inevitable. Wise to have that McClelland Trophy thread on standby though.

Davidson out complicates matters. Must've been the best concussion-inducing mark since Clara Fitzpatrick circa 2020--weird thing to rank, admittedly, but definitely memorable.

Open goal thwarted by the 3QT siren, and that narrow Hartill miss which would've been the 3rd in under minute, makes it an awfully close loss for BL. But only themselves to blame, and it wasn't quite as close (or swayed by the umpires) as the win over Adelaide.
 
Geelong with a wild season: win over Brisbane, draw v North Melbourne, and highest-losing score vs Hawthorn. But won't get close to making finals.

Well, they might get close, but talk in commentary about them actually making it... come on, it's impossible.
 
40-point HT margin for the only "top 8 team" v "top 8 team" matchup for the round (whether history will view it that way, I guess time will tell) is obviously not ideal.

But the NM gameplan this year has generally been cruise to a 40-point lead and then switch off entirely, so it'd be surprising if the home crowd isn't given a glimmer of something to latch onto for the 2nd half.

Nah we are shit we you guys will romp it in by 70 we be lucky to score a goal
 
Well it has been a better NM performance than previous weeks which felt a little uncontrolled early in games (WB dominated stoppage, Sydney found it pretty easy to score), but this quarter has been pretty junky so far except for a couple of Vikki Wall moments.
 
I admire Prespakis's accumulating ability but she seems to do a lot of stat padding
Padding? Like the stuff on the walls of your cell?
