Today we made two banners for the girls. One for vs Carlton tomorrow night (at Ikon Park. Y’all should come for an old school footy experience!) and one for vs Freo next week. 



Fact: of the 18 AFLW sides we are the ONLY club to make a banner for every single match. I’m so proud of our Club. 
Some clubs make a banner on some occasions. And sadly, some clubs never make one. I feel sorry for their players. 😥

Round 5 team:

IN - Duffy (club debut), Harris, Goldrick

OUT - Campbell, Chaplin, Wilson (all omitted)

 

Delighted to see Goldie back in the side and interested to see how our forward dynamic will change with Duffy in the team

Carlton no great shakes so should be able to get back on track after last weeks disappointing showing

That's a strong team. We should belt Carlton.

Ponchos are tonight’s must-have accessory! 
Hopefully there’s no repeat of last week’s banner raising…

😳
It’s a good thing we use soooo much tape. 

Lil’s 50th was still readable, though. So there’s that. 😁

Lauren Pearce’s 50th tonight. We’ll be cheering extra loud for Loz!!! 

GO DEES!!!

❤️💙❤️💙

Out: regular rope gal

In: WCW (debuting on rope)

Break a leg!

Booming goal Harris. Superb kick from 50 meters. she'll enjoy that against her old mob

Tayla Harris might be about to break some records.

 

Great having a dominant KPF. If only we could find one for the mens team

The female commentator is not a fan of us.

Some of our fringe mids seem to be getting a run on the ball and probably need the experience. Good coaching, but making for a messy game so far 

Goldie very rusty

Kate Hore’s a little soft, got to sort that out

Needs to work on her goal kicking as well

Strong effort there at a ground ball. 
Come on Dees, couple of quick ones here to put this out of range 

Want to see the Duff woman get a genuine one on one inside 50. Feels like snags

That was quick. Any other requests?

There’s a Goldie to Paxy to Sherrif to Banno out the back goal on offer after half time 

Solid first half but we are a bit messy down forward. Would be good to get a big solid win.

Solid first half.  Highlight for me has been some of Banno’s handballs.  Not something I had expected from someone’s whose obvious strength is outside run.  First class, especially in the drizzle.

Purcell and West have been two great picksl ups without having to go to the early draft, haven't they?

I have only watched the second half and where making Carlton look very average and that’s always a good thing. 

Comprehensive win against an ordinary Carlton outfit. Healthy percentage boost. 

Good intensity. Harris and Purcell excellent. West very good. Paxy involved. Goldie rusty but will be better for the run

Need more polish going instead 50 

Go Dees

 

21 free kicks to 9 Carlton's way. Daisy scragged at every occasion, Birch knocked over multiple times off the ball. You could see them getting frustrated. But a big win over an average side.

West and Purcell great, as were Tayla and Tyla. And goldie some awesome among the head scratches. She's always going to give away one or two weird ones each game, but her pressure and attack on the ball are something to behold
