AFLW West Coast Women 2022 - Discussion

[amazingjoshy]

yeah, I'm not going to blame the forwards for the difficulties the whole team has moving the ball fluently.

Said every Eagles supporter for the last 3 years

yep no go forward at all. easy to defend and they are doing it well.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Second to the footy.
Ball watching in defence and letting our opponents get goalside
Can’t kick a goal from 20m out
Our best mid is lost at half back and our mvp from last year has done nothing.

It’s not their fault individually, Gilmore is working her tail off to give us a leading option, but the setup is doing them no favours. Pressed up right to the contest and then we win the ball and…?

Especially with the breeze going nuts I’d love to see someone stay deep this term.

 

[Monocle]

Not a lot has changed with our ball movement into the forward line ............ just bomb it long.

We need to learn to run the ball into our forward line, currently it's an oppositions defenders dream the way we bomb it long.

Love the desire and effort that the girls are showing but we are playing a lot of DUMB football.

 

[Biggie]

Freo are class above and showing it. Not enough recognition there.

WCE love to run and get out the back. That is nonexistent with Freos insane pressure

I’m a bit deflated by the current score but another half to go yet.

Let’s put some pressure on ladies

 

[ep2018]

We're not actually playing that bad. We could absolutely turn this around and win.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Fair size differential at back pocket. Gooch is going to take a life today.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

By god, the ball came out the back off the wing and look what happened

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Here we go, AFLW House at it again

 

[Carbine Chaos]

This is on Bowen. Really bad handball.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Being killed by basic, fundamental errors.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Green whiz, our marquee players make a meal of it on the wing.

Dana fumbles then gets herself into trouble, Bowen kicks to Swanny who drops an uncontested mark.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Someone convince me that Belinda isn’t our most natural footballer.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Umpiring truly bizarre already.

 

[Dark Sharks]

That ****ing blue umpire bloke just loves pinging McCarthy hey.

Show some consistency and feel free to ping Cockburn as well ya grub.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

This is fun

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Great finish by Schmidt there and good link up between Swanson and Chuck.

 

[FKASC]

Carn you ****in eagles

 

[Ochre]

Up the ****ing Coasters

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Freo getting a free kick every time they turn the ball over or lay a tackle.

 

[Eaglesliveagain]

We really get nothing from the umps. I just want consistency but that doesn't happen in the men's so no surprise it's the same for the women's

 

[Eaglemaniac]

That ******* blue umpire bloke just loves pinging McCarthy hey.

Show some consistency and feel free to ping Cockburn as well ya grub.

Every time we pick it up with no prior and get tackled it’s a free against us, and every time they pick it up and get tackled it’s play on. Gilmore tackled her opponent twice when they had prior opportunity and no free.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Kicked 2 goals in round 1 last year.

Got 2 goals currently.


Question is whether that blue bloke ump allows us to kick another or not.

 

[Monocle]

Good fightback, amazing what happens when you launch your scoring attacks from the wing, rather than the half back flank.

Young Charlie Thomas what a baptism of fire in her first ever game...... I like the cut of her jib.
