AFLW: Rd 03 vs North Melbourne

[Steno 200]

The quality of game is exponentially improving each season and nearly each game.

The second quarter was the best I have ever seen. 
 

Just quietly... how good is it having a key forward!!!!

Best qtr of footy the girls have ever played. Standard is excellent from both teams. 

Best quarter of AFLW I’ve ever seen, full stop!

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,966]

That coast to coast goal that ended in a Cunningham goal was fantastic. If we get the chance to play Geelong I think we're a chance to avenge our 186 point loss.

north lifted their intensity big time, as you'd expect from a good side

[BDA 23,048]

Kearney is a quality player

[loges 6,767]

need to steady

[Little Goffy 14,971]

Well, we're not playing against the bottom team, that much is clear.  Really looking to weather this storm and kick away from them again.

Currently a bit rattled and clumsy.

[BDA 23,048]

Huge 50 and the champ slots it. Badly needed that.

[Little Goffy 14,971]

"Paxman has been having a pretty shaky game by her standards..." was what I was thinking moments ago.

 

[whatwhat say what 23,872]

geez the maggots are tough on holding the ball

[Meggs 598]

Hardly surprising North came back, they are very good and very fit.  If we match their intensity I think we can win. Our backline was a wobbly, Daisy’s kick-outs, Birch’s missed marks.  It’s the North pressure.  Go Dee girls.

Looks like the “if you can’t dispose of the ball legally just drop it, it’s all good” rule applies in AFLW as well,

??✊?

[BDA 23,048]

Outstanding win for the girls. Superb effort all round.

[faultydet 7,623]

you f*&k%$g beauty!!!!!!!

 

Great effort girls. Tough and talented.

 

[censored] YEAH

[Dee Zephyr 19,322]

Thought Daisy had some huge moments in critical contests that quarter. Good on ya Dees, super win and Shelley Scott no problem slotting it after the siren.

[In Harmes Way 7,871]

Just a very impressive showing against quality opposition, who were always going to make a charge.

Great win for the girls. Go dees

[P-man 13,367]

Go Dees ?

[FarNorthernD 5,863]

How good was that!

And as they say, "football was the winner."  Also the Demons. Definitely the Demons.

[binman 44,851]

Terrific game of footy.

Great win, particularly given paxman was not as prolific as normal and daisy was a bit off in the first 3 quarters (but terrific in the last).

Go dees

Winners stand up when needed.

Daisy is a winner.

They was so good to watch ...they have improved enormously & you can certainly see the difference when the teams that were the inauguration teams play. I can honestly say there is a great future for AFLW !!!

[BDA 23,048]

I've watched most of the games this year and that was far and away the best quality game of ALFW this year. If we can sustain this level no reason to think we can't go deep into finals this year.

AFLW will silence almost every doubter a decade from now, if the current improvement curve continues.

I was a doubter at first, and early on the skills were garbage.

Jesus the improvement has been huge. It's not just an enjoyable game because they wear the Dees colours any more. They have some serious skills and toughness considering their time in the game.

Bloody impressive.
