Someone tell me why Ally Morphett is not playing?

Someone tell me why Ally Morphett is not playing?

I suspect they've realised they brought her back into the side far too quickly after a heavily curtailed pre-season. I hope they're giving her a solid training block of a few weeks before they reconsider her for selection, in the hope she might be able to have an impact in the back end of the season. She was ineffective in the first two games (at least compared to what she contributed last season).

Why does Szigeti's omission get a bolding and exclamation marks?

Szigeti's omission really surprised me.

Szigeti's omission really surprised me.

Not me. To me she’s one of the players who should be “depth only”. I was a bit surprised to see her selected in earlier games.

Spot on, Liz. Was very clear she was underdone.

 

[Voula]

Can we boo Newman . Only joking. I'd forgotten she left us.

 

[Hanas]

Nice goal from Grunden. Make that 2. Girls are starting to look a bit like they have a bit of control.

 

[Voula]

Grunden 2 goals!

 

[Voula]

What a goal Ham!

 

[RampeRobe]

Ball movement is quite nice to watch so far from the girls

 

[Day_night_honourer]

I think omitting Lochland was well overdue too. Hasn’t bought much for quite sometime and good practice for girls to have to play to earn their spot, even though our depth is a bit worrying.

Nice 1st quarter.
Showed up this week it seems, even though opposition not quite at same level as last.
Hurley good early and Grunden our new debutant looking very handy with 2 goals.
Laura doing her usual great work.

Normal mediocre umpiring standards with a couple of obvious highs missed and clear HTBs ignored.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Newman 3 clangers in about 3 minutes. Must be nervous playing her old team.

 

[Voula]

9 inside 50s this quarter but we haven't scored a goal. We need to do more with our opportunities.

 

[Voula]

Terrible miss by Ham!

 

[Voula]

Rubbish umpiring. Won't pay us HTB when the GWS player drops it but they pay it against us in the goal square when our player is tackled straight away.

Our forwards are being beaten by their opponents.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

If another high against us doesn’t get paid I’m going.to lose it!

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Wow, the umpiring here is so bias

 

[Hanas]

Break came at the right time. Goal or free kick for goal was imminent.

 

[Voula]

Their pressure is too good. They are killing us this quarter.

Ham off with a concussion test after a sling tackle.

Umpiring still bemusing.

 

[kickthething]

Wow, the umpiring here is so bias

The umpiring at this level is diabolical. This is a masterclass in guessing.

 

[Mister B]

Dead set, if the club doesn’t publicly question the umpiring in this game they are a joke. Any touch high we are being penalised immediately while our girls are being tackled around the neck and get nothing. They paid HTB against Ham despite a clear sling and only reversed it when they saw she hadn’t got up. Then they pay a sling against us when there was no sling. ****ing pathetic.

Bemusing is very kind.
