AFLW: Rd 07 (Game 2) vs St Kilda

Our injury problems are starting to ease thankfully but still a tough road to make finals from here.

The Saints at Moorabbin won't be easy, especially coming off a short break, but if we show the same grit and determination as we did midweek we can win.

Fatigue is my big worry. We emptied the tank against the Crows and very difficult to recover in 4 days. But we have some fresh legs coming in so that will help.

I'm backing us to make it 3 wins on the trot to put us right back into finals contention

Go Dees

    Unbelievable AFLW draw. 3 1/2 day break.  Really.  Expect fatigue could be a factor. Oh and yes, it’s 3 1/2 days after an interstate travel. 
    Low scoring affair. I think it’s only a goal or less at the end. 
    Go Dees 💙❤️💙❤️


    #LivingstoneWakeUp your schedule is rubbish.

    Saints only have 1 extra day break than us, and this will be their third game in ten days (our third in 11 days). So fatigue is definitely going to be a factor for both sides, and one might handle it more than others.

     

    We've brought back three key players - Zanker, Paxy and Purcell, and the three out (Colvin, D'Arcy and Johnson have been amongst our lowest TOG).

    My biggest concern is whether bringing these three in upsets the changes to structure and team balance that saw us with the last two games. Hopefully not.

    Good start. Hanks and McNarama excellent so far

    Having the returning-from-injury fresh legs of Zanker, Purcell and Paxman all at once might be a pretty powerful effect in the circumstances.

    Huge quarter for Zanks, Banno and Gall to go big

    The meatball has been a disappointment so far. Hopefully it clicks for her soon

    Mucking around with it because they’ve lost faith in hitting tall targets inside 50. Come on girls, pick a target out, put some air in the kick, it’s not too hard

    She's doing fine for a first year player. Obvious that she has the class and isn't afraid of contact. The rest will come with time.

    She'll be fine, hasn't quite adjusted to the pace yet but when it comes together she'll be an excellent forward.

    She’s dead scared of winning a hard ball and - whilst it might be fitness related - she’s slow. You take a small forward at the top of the draft it’s not unreasonable to want them to have some wheels

    She's doing fine. It's clear that she is a natural footballer. Any other week her goal last week would have been goal of the round. Obviously got plenty to improve on but I have no doubt the coaches would be happy with how she has started her career.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
