AFLW: Rd 08 vs Richmond

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Will there be a replay shown anywhere?

[Whispering_Jack 30,575]

We could win the next two and still miss out - what a shame and what a condemnation of such a lop sided shambles of a fixture.

[DubDee 26,114]

Thankfully the Tigers left it way too late 

they look unstoppable when they’re on

[dees189227 12,395]

Gee a bit fiery in that final quarter. Hore becoming a target from the opposition. But that's because she's so good

[DubDee 26,114]

Feels like the season just started and there’s 2 games left?

Cmon AFL get your [censored] together 

[dees189227 12,395]

Good win, but disappointing we gave up those last few goals

[spirit of norm smith 16,570]

6 goal lead. Tigers kicked 3 to get within 13 points but Dees held on. 
 

Great win over a top 4 team. 
 

Kate Hore. Can she play AFL next year.  She is an ABSOLUTE STAR 👏👏👏💙❤️💙❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AFL website (you have to dig a bit) Probably from some time tomorrow. Worth a look!

How good is it to actually hear the theme song at the end of the game?

Yep, but it was a good side doing it, as you'd expect of them, not a poor side letting it happen.

But our girls managed to stop them - dead - on 95% of available occasions.

👊

'Twas all a nice tonic today after my last two trips here!

Gee I wonder how uncomfortable that mask is that liv is wearing 

She says it just pinches the nose a bit; otherwise she forgets she's got it on until an oppo player tries a Batmobile sledge!

It's messy isn't it. Was sort of a 'friend', though, it seems, over those compressed last 3?

back on so can't have been much

I think Zanker hurt her wrist/hand (maybe fingers) in a pack marking fall. She got up shaking her hand and in a big of discomfort. I don't think it was mentioned by the commentators.

Great game from the girls.

Gee I wish they could find cameramen or a producer that can actually see where the ball is and not show players standing by themselves while the action is off screen.

 

[Go the Biff 3,440]

6 - Bannan - 4 goals,  a direct assist and 3 other score involvements. 

5 - Hore  - another class in captaincy 

4 - Hanks - so often in the right place at the right time 

3 - Heath - limited Conti's influence and got her own ball

2 - Purcell - tough as teak and makes a huge difference to our midfield 

1 - Gall - has had a great few weeks. Really strong today, especially her first half 

 

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,271]

I hope I can vote after watching the replay. I'm afraid I go to our goals, at fence level, every quarter, so can't do the backs or even the mids justice in my 'live' perceptions.

That being said, it's getting to be some forward line!

Particularly good on a number of fronts, Biff, so I reckon worth slightly more than just a 'Thanks' emoji in this case 👍 🙂

Super effort today. Both teams threw everything at each other in a high intensity game. Great game to watch, our girls showed so much tenacity in their attack on the players and ball.  We are developing some great young talent as well, just great to see.
