Prespakis is good to watch. Blonde ponytail makes her easy to spot too

 

[Lore]

Half Time:

 

[Lore]

Goal for Geelong to start the third. This is a shitty pattern.

ESS 2.2 14
GEE 3.3 21

 

[Lore]

And they just got a free kick in front of goal

and converted it

14-27

 

[Dave]

Bugger 2 in 2 minutes

 

[Dave]

And they just got a free kick in front of goal

and converted it

14-27

And another free kick.....

 

[Lore]

Tell you what, long sleeves and bright blonde hair reminds me of someone else #nopressure

 

[Dave]

They're all over us at the moment.

 

[Lore]

Free kick against at our forward half and then a 50m penalty. And another free kick in their forward 50. ****kkk

Not saying the umps are wrong coz I can't see the infringement and there's no replays but

 

[Dave]

50m and then another free. Couldn't see what that was for.

 

[Dave]

Free kick against at our forward half and then a 50m penalty. And another free kick in their forward 50. fu**kkk

Not saying the umps are wrong coz I can't see the infringement and there's no replays but

The initial free and fifty couldn't see, the free in their forward line was very soft.

 

[Dave]

That said, they are playing better than us at the moment.

Think they're kicking with the breeze too?

 

[Lore]

That said, they are playing better than us at the moment.

Think they're kicking with the breeze too?

Yeah I was wondering about the breeze. At the start of the game the commentary said it was swirly but now most of the goals have been kicked to the left of screen (the non-bowls club end).

Some of it is just them being dominant but yeah.

 

[Dave]

rushed behind. close.

 

[Dave]

aaaaaand another free.

 

[Dave]

Hey, one our way!!!

 

[Lore]

Finally got it into our forward 50 but a rushed behind brings us to 15-28.

50m penalties shouldn't be 50m in the women's game when it's so low scoring. A free goal in the mens is bad enough, and it's 10% or less of their ultimate score (10% if the average total is 60). In this game it's more like 25-30%

 

[Dave]

Oh, shot marked on the line.

 

[Dave]

2 goals down, kick in straight to us, snap at goal and missed. 11 down.

 

[Lore]

And another behind. 17-28

At least we're at our end and giving it a crack

 

[Lore]

50 seconds left

 

[Dave]

11 down at 3/4 time.

 

[Lore]

dunno what happened with the graphics had all the wrong scores completely, not even out of date just wrong altogether

 

[Lore]

Cats dominant in the first 30 seconds again

 

[Lore]

And another goal to Geelong.

17-34

It gets away from you so quickly. We can still come back from this, and have before, but the way the game is being played and their dominance through the middle makes it... dicey.
