Anyone watching Swans v Pies?

I hope the medicos have best-practice diagnostic and management skills for insect inhalation...

Serious note: Initial thoughts on the level of this season's skill and game plan improvements? I'm expecting 'noticeable' in both, and a challenge for our girls to keep up, having been leaders in pretty well all the previous seasons.

Both teams pretty rusty. Plenty of endeavour but quality lacking so far.

As the same as the men's I hope essendon & Collingwood lose.

This game has been good, Molloy is a superstar & they have kicked away from the pies. 

It has got a lot better, higher scoring, better use of the ball & better marking.

The pies girls must have been watching the men because one of the girls took out a swans player resulting in a mellee 

 

 

big 3rd quarter from sydney. much better ball movement, taking i50 marks and converting

Swans can mark the ball. Filth can't. Therein lies the difference. Best part of game has been the dust up.


Eagles haven't been much chop since coming into the comp.

Best of luck Daisy. I think you'll need it.

 

looks like the hometown umpiring applies to the Eagles ALFW team as well as the mens. Tiges getting reemed by the umps here.

Possibly not?

Though...Richmond.

And (un)officials.


Eagles with all the run. Tiges off the pace.

Daisy looking good here for first coaching win

Daisy got her first win... but with a young side they'll have trouble running out games against the more established clubs.  but a win is a win for her.

Well done Daisy. 

...and well done for passing the Cameras On The Coaches Fishbowl Test. The game threw everything at her!

I also wanted to say well done to Daisy. 

Doggies miles off the pace today. no decent senior players other than Blackburn. Going to be another long season for them by the looks of it.

Some 'ouch' scores unfolded and unfolding today. AFL/W might have some equalisation challenges ahead of it.

...and we have all 3 of today's 'killers', and only 1 of the 'prey', in our 'side' of the draw...

One hour to go and I can't find the gameday thread.

Here's the AFL site link, for what it is worth.

I'm staggered The Corporation has made such a bollocks of AFLW again. It is almost as if there's some kind of disrespect for women in the AFL-Channel 7-Herald Sun nexus.

It’s a shame the Cameras are not on the other side of the Ground at GC

Nobody is in the stands. 
Saints are playing well

 

Westie getting a lot of it for Hawthorn, but don't think she'd have a very high effective disposal percentage, though.....

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
