I’m surprised Zanker’s goal to keep us alive hasn’t got more coverage.

It is very Dom Sheed like.

She looks better with every game. An exciting talent.

We win by a point.

You would be a terrible coach. Every act on the field is important for the team. Goodwin understands this and won’t play Garlett who doesn’t do the defensive pressure acts.

A great goal. Every bit as skilful as Sheed’s but probably more complex. She doesen’t have the same strength in her leg as a man would under the same circumstances and the women’s preseason is much shorter than the men’s. This ultimately leads to the women having less feel for the footy and their skills suffer.

The women’s game suffers because people are critical of the skills. I have tried to highlight a great goal please don’t try and reduce the importance of it.

No you compared it to something.....  I never said it wasn’t a great goal. @Wrecker45

I compared it because they kicked their goals from very similar spots.

If Wayne Halmes knocks the ball in to win a gf I will call it Jetta like.

If Malcolm Blight kicks a barrel from the wing I will call it Jayden Hunt like.

When a female footballer slots a goal to keep us alive in the premiership race I will praise her. I bleed red and blue and embrace the female football team because of the colours they wear that flow through my veins.

I understand your simplistic idea thatDom Sheed’s goal was better due to the point in the match and likely outcome. But that means you put greater weight on minutes later in the game when every minute influences the outcome.
