AFLW Autopsy Swans vs Gold Coast Saturday 3:05PM at Henson Park

[SwansProudly]

All losses should hurt!

That hurts. Our comeback falls short by four-points with the Suns kicking a goal in the final minute to secure the win.

 

[Ticky009]

A home game in which we play the Suns. 14th vs 18th and I'm really hoping we can get a win this weekend and no further injuries would be lovely thanks!

Two changes have been made ahead of Round 8 as the Sydney Swans prepare to take on the Gold Coast Suns this Saturday afternoon: the return of Lauren Szigeti and Sarah Grunden.
In: Sarah Grunden, Lauren Szigeti
Out: Julie O'Sullivan (Injured), Montana Beruldsen (Omitted)

"Lauren is a very clever footballer, brings some grunt around the stoppages and she's able to go forward as well which we feel as though that connection between the mids and the forwards is going to be really important this week," he shared.
"And then Sarah, she's the same. Sarah brings in a forward craft but she can also go up on the wing for us as well. Both are good users by foot and that's something we felt we need."

Tanya's Take

Despite the result the team showed a lot of fight. What was the message at the breaks?
I think the girls have shown that no matter the scoreline in a game that they will always fight which is a great brand to build as a team. We kept messaging the plan we went in with and the girls stuck to that message all throughout.

Opposition Watch

The Swans sit 15th on the ladder, with their most recent 60-point defeat to North Melbourne offering plenty of learnings from the competitions leading side.
“We wanted to take them on and keep taking them on and get the lessons out of it, but also I think on reflection that probably kept us in the game at patches as well,” said Swans senior coach Scott Gowans.
“There's probably 20 or 30 percent of the game, they're just so good that they got away from us. But you look at the territory game and some players that stood up against the best team in the competition, there's a lot to take away from it.”
Gowans has warned the Swans to be wary of Gold Coast, who will be hungry to register their first victory of the season.
“I know they're anxious for their first win of the season, they've been extremely unlucky, they've had I think three results recently that are sort of around that two goal margin,” said Gowans.

Birthday love for Lex Hamilton.. and hopefully a few snags! #CheerThis

 

[Mister B]

Getting in early because I know I will say it at least 5 times today.

**** YOU UMPIRE 9!!!!

 

[Mister B]

Lochland has started well in terms of effort. Her ball hold and drop when kicking for goal is

 

[Kbroome]

Lochland did something atleast has had a horrific year

How she barely clears 20-25m out is surprising tbh

 

[Kbroome]

Get Heads behind the ball far out the ball use needs to be better yet Heads is stuck on a wing or the bench

 

[Mister B]

Jesus ****ing christ. Our kick outs without Heads down back are ****ing awful. Every week our opponents kick half their goals from forward 50 frees. Are we that bad or are we being penalised more than others?

Best ball user stuck on the wing is just dumb

 

[Mister B]

You have to ask the question. All the ****ing soft forward 50 frees so far, yet one of our girls has her jumper stretched off he back through the middle and its play on. Pathetic umpiring.

 

[Mister B]

****ing sensational Hurley.

 

[SwansProudly]

A special moment for Tanya Kennedy who ran out with her niece and nephew from Ireland! #CheerThis

 

[Mister B]

Let's go girls. Needed that before QT.

 

[Kbroome]

Disappointing how little good ball user we have on the list (i know we have 3 injuries), just get it into Heads, Cynthias and Hurleys hands

 

[Mister B]

Well done Wheelan. Great goal after the siren. Does anyone else notice, the umps don't give a shit about players staying on their line in the womens game?

 

[Kbroome]

Huge goal to end the quarter on a little dubious FK and also was well off her line for the set shot

 

[SwansProudly]

QT | A goal on the siren by Aimee Whelan sees us trail by just two at the first break. Brooke Lochland and Cynthia Hamilton also kicking majors.

 

[Kbroome]

Shows how poor GCS are that Sydney with 3 injuries and playing injured players and playing horrifically is only up 2 points

 

[Mister B]

Hahahaha. What a dumbarse! Why would you give away a cheap free like that after they sprayed it?

 

[Kbroome]

Hahahaha. What a dumbarse! Why would you give away a cheap free like that after they sprayed it?

She felt bad and wanted to give her a re do
