AFLW: Rd 03 vs St. Kilda

[Demonland 72,171]

[Meggs 595]

Given the injury report, probable change this week:

Goldie knee (test)  in

Gay calf  (1-week) out

[BDA 22,744]

Gaye has been very good so far, hopefully the injury won’t keep her out too long. Will be great to have Goldie back though. 

[WERRIDEE 5,473]

Possible team

B: Birch, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, Lampard, Heath

C: Mithen, Purcell, Paxman

HF: Hore, Bannan, Zanker

F: D.Pearce, Harris

FOLL: L.Pearce, West, Hanks

IC: Chaplin, Sherriff, Ivey, Fitzsimon, Johnson

[Dees_In_October 3,380]

Glad it's just the week for Gay after her struggles last season.

For those wondering about Duffy, according to twitter comments, she's fine but not match ready yet. Building for Round 5-6.

AFLW RD3 Team | One change for Sunday side (melbournefc.com.au)

One change for the Dees Wilson in for Gay. Goldrick obviously not ready yet.

[BDA 22,744]

Excellent mark and finish Kate Hore. Great start Dees.

[BDA 22,744]

Intensity, clean hands, great link play and accurate goal kicking. Superb 1st quarter from the girls. 6 straight into the breeze.

St Kilda don't know what hit them. This game is over already

[kev martin 9,888]

Wow, will the Saints get two disposals in a row?

Great structure behind the ball.

Good forward craft, creating separation and kicking straight 

Purcell playing great footy, along with West, the engine room.

Fair start by the girls. Has a team ever kicked 100 points before?

yes. we did against Freo last year. Only time its been done i think

[BDA 22,744]

Eliza West is a dynamo at stoppage. Just knows how to get her hands on the ball. Massive improver this year

[Lucifers Hero 39,752]

DL's must have forgotten the game is on!

Are we playing our Home game at St Kilda's Home ground or just agreed to wear dark shorts?

I think everyone is still fixated on the fallout from Friday night's game

[kev martin 9,888]

Let's see if they can "reset".

No goals for 2 quarters. I thought getting big leads would free them up. Seems the opposite for MFC teams. The longer we go without scoring after getting the big lead, the more nervous we get.

This thread got a lot more traffic when it was moved to the main footy board last season.

after a blistering start we've been very ordinary. Badly need a goal

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Is there another game nearby? A lot of whistles can be heard 

[BDA 22,744]

Great 1st quarter. Forget about the rest of the game. Missed opportunity to build percentage

Libby Birch having a great season. Paxy too. Talk of her demise greatly exaggerated

Huge game next week against the Lions at Casey. Could well determine who finishes on top

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

Very strange game with a good result.  Next weekend should tell us a story.  Strong four quarters needed!

[dl4e 5,851]

What a frustrating game to watch. Our goal kicking went from gold to bovine crap. 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Good win but Meatloaf was wrong "Two Out Of Three" is bad.

[Brownie 5,980]

Great move by the AFL to introduce club / supporter centric commentary.

I watched the whole game listening to how good St Kilda we're because I couldn't find the Naarm channel!

Great win Dees. Big game next week. It should be the curtain raiser to the vfl granny.

[DubDee 25,849]

Bizarre game. Blistering first Q. Then 11 behinds. 

in 2-3 years I reckon Zanker will dominate the comp. Love her aggression 

[darkhorse72 1,916]

It was like watching a men's game lately, but the women don't score fast enough to catch us.

We jumped them and looked great.  They tightened up and create a rolling context.  Would have improved with 1 handball and a releasing kick, often we went back into trouble under the pressure.
