Threw the ball to Pierce instead of umpire for a bounce

Hanks is also a wonderful player.  Just nice to win r1

She gave the ball to Loz Pearce rather than the ump at a stoppage directly infront of goal.

Umpire correctly pinged her for time wasting.

huge win that one

[Melbournepotter 383]

Great effort...gutsy win. Showed great strength of character.

 

[Wells 11 5,422]

Great win. Gutsy and hard fought between 2 v good sides,  also  great ball movement. 

[BDA 22,868]

Very good start to the season against a tough opponent

Kate Hore class the difference. Macken very good as well. Shelley Heath a little tiger as always.

Not perfect but always great to win at that sh*tpile. We don't get the W down there too often.

Go Dees

[DeeSpencer 26,070]

Grace Beasley just a perfect replacement for Westy

Lamp on ball is good coaching.

Getting Chappy more involved at half back (work to do on the disposal but love the aggression).

Fitzy getting more involved.

They’ve really adapted the team nicely.

Anyone know if Pisano is injured or just not ready? Speedy crumber is the one thing we still need to lock it forward more.

I was wondering that about Pisano. Went back through the info I could find about the pre season games, and it sounded like she played, but no reports. She wasn't named as an emergency either.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

I love Aimee Mackin. What a player she has become.

[Kiss of Death 755]

Oh wow, I take back my previous statement. Was ironing, looked up and the replay only showed Pearce with the ball and no Paxy 😂

[dees189227 12,395]

I'm assuming coaches don't do an after match presser?  There wouldn't be to many journos there

She will be, I'm sure.

Meanwhile...

Well done everyone who ventured down the highway. Great noise. Drowned out that horrendous 'Geee-Long!'

I'm not a consistent follower of AFLW but every time I see that girl play, I just wonder how extraordinary she would be if she had played Aussie rules all her life.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,271]

@Demonland, could we have the passage to, and completion of, Hore's second goal as vid of the week?

And not on Wednesday's formal injury list, either.

[Craig T 186]

After looking at the draw I said if we can be 2-1 after three rounds I'll be very happy.  I guess we are half way there.

Very good win.  Given their three second half goals were all due to horrendous stuff ups on our part right in front of their goal there is some room for easy improvement.

Harris' shoulder is a worry.  Being totally removed from the situation I'm not in a great position judge, but my gut feeling is she probably needs surgery to fix it, but doesn't want to to be sidelined from her football/boxing/work for two to three months.  So she just does the rehab/rest each time it goes and gets it passable enough to play.  But looking how minimal the knocks needed to be tonight to put her out of action I don't think that's a realistic option anymore.  Surgery now would most likely finish her for this season, so if I'm right perhaps she plays on as best she can and then the club tells her she has to get it done as soon as the season is over.

Great to have the WDemons back! so much fun to watch

Fitzy is really coming on

Hore is a genuine star

And Shelley H, I wish we had that tackling intensity in the mens

[Witches Hat 451]

We've been blessed with a couple of outstanding captains. Daisy's record speaks for itself and I thought Kate Hore almost single handedly kept us in touch in the first half.

Good game to watch.

They do.

Went out to dinner and am watching a delayed telecast on Kayo so I’m still catching up but how good was it to see someone running around in the red and blue with the number 5 on their back?
