Preview Season 7, Round 7 v Fremantle: Saturday 8 October @ Wigan Oval (Unley Oval)

Adelaide v Fremantle
Saturday 8 October
2:40pm
Wigan Oval (Unley Oval)

Our run through probably softest part of the season continued with a thumping win in Showdown I, while Fremantle's season of struggle continued against Melbourne.

At the start of the season, this looked like a ripper of match. Now it's the potential for another big win in line with the previous couple of weeks if the girls remain switched on.

Fun fact 1: The girls have currently kicked 23 unanswered goals, which equals Geelong's men's side as the longest unanswered goal streak. Kick the first goal on Saturday and the record is ours.

Fun fact 2: We have gone 9 quarters without conceding a goal, with our last goal conceded being early in the 3rd quarter of our round 4 game against Collingwood.

This week will also be the club's home Pride Game (after the AFL once again shafted the club and didn't give us a home match in Pride Round). Rainbow Crows will be near the main entrance selling merchandise and Rainbow Crows memberships, with a limited number of free flags available. There will also be a pre-game pride march around the oval. I believe there will be a couple of Drag Queens doing the rounds as well.

It's going to be a very colourful day.

At least 2 forced changes. Is it time to bring the 13 out of cobwebs.

Kustermann and Mueller have shared emergency billings the last two weeks. Maybe a chance?

Ponter will hopefully be back.

That's exciting! Hopefully she plays well.

If you’re coming to the game today, drop by the Rainbow Crows stand at the norther end of the ground. There will be a limited number of free flags being given out, plus merchandise and memberships available for purchase.

We’re also running our annual Give Out Day fundraising drive, which you can contribute to today - and you’ll receive a free membership for any donation of $50 or above.

It's a great day for footy. I hope the girls have a good win, and kick some goals to increase their percentage.

 

[JP Sauce]

Less than convincing start. They’re all over us.

 

[Firewalker]

There’s one for Simmons… hopeless

 

[JP Sauce]

Be nice if the commentators at least tried to learn the names of the players.

 

[Firewalker]

If Whiteley was remotely competent she probably would’ve already had a couple of goals

 

[MarcusP2]

So only tie the consecutive goals record.

Going on about Freo’s 15 tackles about half of them were legal ones

 

[JP Sauce]

Have a crack yourself Woodland.

Shocking drop by Newman

 

[Firewalker]

Get Simmons off the ground

Amazing that we couldn’t score from the amount of time the ball was in our 50.

 

[Firewalker]

Not a surprise Whiteley goes back into that forward line and it barely functions again.

Coming up against a competent midfield for the first time in a few weeks has had an effect but Clarke’s changes this week have already unsettled the side.

 

[JP Sauce]

Was that Ponter crashing through then? Brilliant

 

[SydCrow]

Ponter!

Ponter’s follow up work brilliant

Munyard’s spatial awareness never the best

 

[JP Sauce]

What a grab! Great finish. Finally getting some reward for effort.
