With some tough matches ahead, needless to say, it’s time for this team to produce for four quarters.

 … and kick straight when up forward 

We'll win. GWS are bang average. 

I want to see us build on our improved contested work from last week. And hopefully some players form improves particularly Kate Hore. Shelly Scott has been very quiet as well this year. We have a tough run of fixtures coming up against Freo, North and the Lions. We can't afford to have our best players down on form if we're to have a chance of winning those games

Agree with all above.  We have shown in drips & drabs that we are good enough to challenge this year, but dribs & drabs will see us falling short again.  We need to start asserting ourselves, with everyone playing their part.

A little bit of a danger game.

No. Very frustrating.

And no free to air coverage 

Casey Demons come from behind to beat Port Melbourne in the curtain raiser after a dominant final quarter 5.5.35 to 4.1.25.

Daisy has kicked our first 1.2.8 to 0.0.0.

Kate Hore gets our second 2.2.14 to 0.0.0.

2.2.14 to no score GWS. Dees with the wind in the first qtr. Well on top

We should be further in front. How did Harris miss that goal? 

Poor by Kayo lucky the AFLW site is playing it live.

2 excellent deliveries from Mithen to put the ball on the chest of Harris and then Hore. Hore converted. Bad miss from Harris

Kayo is working now

Better quarter that and our backline were excellent. I must admit that West is playing really well, Just wish she could kick. Lauren pearce has been great as well.

Half Time - Melbourne 2.3.15 to GWS Giants 0.0.0

We’re well on top but on a windy day, one good quarter can beat you.

Dees 2.3.15 to no score for the Giants.

that qtr was an arm wrestle. Giants defending stoutly but are offering nothing going forward. We should be further ahead but if we keep the pressure on i think the dam will burst in the second half

terrible miss fitzsimons. we'll shoot ourselves in the foot here if we're not careful

2.7.19 to zip past halfway in the third with Giants kicking with the wind in the last.

MFCSS says it’s predictable that the Giants won’t miss their shots in the last.

Nice finish to the quarter

There is something wrong with our kicking for goal. I know it is windy but there is at least 5 points that should have been goals so far in the game. 

Shelly Scott shows how its done. We needed that. Atrocious goal-kicking that qtr. 

The Giants have offered nothing offensively so we should close it out from here
