Shocking free

Holding the ball became holding the woman!

 

The Lions just have a better calibre of athletes than we do. 

As well as more midfield depth.

We’ve defended fiercely but you need high impact forwards in these conditions. 

 

That was into a BIG gust, too 👏

She operates under the wind 

 

That Wothers shot was worth a go, she’s got a goal in her today with a bit of luck 


Zanker: arm 😟

So now the wind's dropping!...

Lions too tall, connected, fast.

Can't change much of that. Need to find a way around it.

'Breeze' stronger than forecast. And all over the place.

Sadly, they didn't.

North next week. We'll do a Brisbane - of this week, not last!


Hard to see any real plan there. Just kick to contest and hope.

Bit of a lack of intensity by a few too.

Most rancid umpiring display I've yet seen.

Watch it on delay as it was 9am Perth time.  Brisbane ran harder .

But gee, how did umpires allow the blatant holding and dragging off the ball all day of our players.  Like in the second Hore left arm was being pulled behind her  when she was 5 feet from the ball trying to pick it up.  Plain as day, no free, We were constantly dragged away when they didn't have the ball or when we tried to get near it.  Shocking umpiring.   

I don't know why they umpire the completely different to the men's with the same set of rules.  If it wa a men's game we would have constant free's at almost every contested ground ball. 

 

Hard to watch, not least because the Brisbane women are close to the most unlikeable team in all of football. 

I'd just like to add my name to the "What the eff was going on with holding the ball today?" gang.

Having said all that, far too good in the end. We're short a really good centre bounce midfielder.

Purcell has been a big loss.

...but apart from that it might be time for Mick to look at a few other moves.

I think Goldie is much better in defence and should go back to HB.

Campbell showed a bit as a KPF and would be good to see her settle there for a bit.

I would like to see Gillard tried in the ruck...I think she's wasted down back at the moment.

A bit more controversial but at its highest level I think the game has passed Lil by and probably Paxy as well.

Not sure where to sit Banno.

Can't just keep plugging holes with Hore.

Purcell. Facial injury 

Harris. Shoulder 

Pearce. Hand

all out for the season 

missing from last year too … loss of West, Gay, Birch, Sherriff in the bizarre “ let’s rebuild strategy”

so that’s 7 missing from best 21 of last year !!!!

Alyssia Pisano, in (clichéd😄) post-match modesty on her first goal: 'It was just good to get on the end of it'. Not doing herself justice: her clever get/evade/pass started the chain in the pocket; then she buttered up to be in it again at the end.

MELBOURNE is set to be without Aimee Mackin during the 2024 season after the Irish recruit tore her anterior cruciate ligament playing Gaelic football in Ireland this week.

Cant help injures.  I think most of the players wanted to go for different reason.

Given how we ended last year a refresh was needed.  

I agree Paxy is at the tail end and should be used for specific supporting roles for the rest of the year as she doesn't have the run to compete with the younger girls anymore.

Who was really missing today was Hanks, currently not having the same impact as the last few years.  Normally very aggressive around the ball. 

Yes, Purcell is the biggest loss for the team and others aren't yet stepping up to take on her role. 

Reset for next week.
 

 

Brisbane worked hard to our number our girls and It looked like they brought their own umpires today.

I thought it last week too, but it looks like they play to defend first, and score second. Defensive set up is ok but when we have the ball they don’t run forward and constantly get outnumbered in the forward 50. Easy turnover and run out. It’s a territory game and we just guard the centre of the ground.

well done Banno on 50 games, but the ultimate down hill skiier. Zanker gets so down on her self she struggles to keep her head in the game. Kate can’t do it all on her own. Paxy still one of the better players, but maybe a little loose to be played in defence. B Mackin another good game as well as Goldy. A few too many injuries now makes for a potentially sour year.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
