Women's Footy The AFLW Thread – Round 3 vs. North @ Casey (Sunday, 1:05 pm)

[Dory_77]

A real #demonspirit type game

 

[PerfectFooty]

If we lose Zanker, Bannan is really going to have to step up in that forward line next week

 

[PerfectFooty]

Has Mithen been up forward all game? She's looked way off from what i've seen in this second half, very fumbly

 

[Crusty Demon]

At Vic Park about to watch Hawks v Pies but sheesh the scores suggest an embarrassing performance. Lose a couple games in this comp it's season over. This side just doesn't look up to it unfortunately. Purcell too big a loss.

On the ball earlier I think. Whole team has looked sloppy today.

Yeah depth is wafer thin. A couple of important players out and you're going to struggle against good teams.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Oh well, i hope Willaimstown in the VFL Semi can hand Brisbane a loss today, because i doubt Carlton will

 

[jhong]

Very sloppy game from us . Movement forward just didn't work . Reckon this season might end up being a mixed bag for us . We play North next week , so it doesn't get any easier . Can add Makins sister out for the season, who showed a bit last year . Very light on for depth unfortunately.

LPearce out for 6 weeks is fuuuuuu...

Barring some bizarre weather could be very ugly v Norf at Casey this week. Forward connection problems seem endemic to the club atm and not sure we'll have it fixed in a week coming up against the best side in the comp.

 

[Headless]

Yeah Pearce is a huge loss.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Yeah Pearce is a huge loss.

Already feels like this season is done tbh. Weird as it's Round 2, but we've lost 3 key players and with the Norf game incoming, it could be over after 3 rounds. Hopefully the girls can turn it on this weekend, but it's looking like a rough season ahead.

I think this season will be a treading water season , getting some games into some youngsters, because it’s such a short season . Just can’t replace Harris and Pearce , don’t know when Purcell will be back . We shall see how it pans out I guess .

Looking at the rest of our games top 4 is practically gone, finals might be tricky too but expect we scrape in- Hawks and Saints looking much better than last year, we've got Freo and Adelaide away later this year. Probably worst w/l season for a while but to be expected given the loss of regulars end of last year and this year's injuries.

Congrats to P.Paxman on 75 games .

Is that equivalent to 250 in the men's game ya reckon?

Maybe the equivalent of 150 games I would have thought . A decent effort nevertheless.

 

[jhong]

Aside from some strange kicks , encouraging start from the Dees

 

[Dory_77]

Decent quarter after North got early goals. Very aggressive with the ball

 

[Headless]

Could have given one up very late in the last, there, but then also had a missed opportunity to convert ourselves.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Okay been out running but ready to settle in. Made it just in time to see two players get burnt running to an open goal. But sounds like we've fought better than expected

Effort is there , just some moments than needed composure.

 

[Headless]

Pretty handy 50.
