  1. Karen Paxmen needs a rocket! I don’t care how many possessions she has had, she handballs to flat footed teammates under pressure and her kicking is abysmal at the moment.
  2. Did you read the comment? It was about the umpiring? It’s still sub-standard. Players just throw the ball. There was either a play on or clear 50 top of our CHF before. It’s like the umpires think it’s under 9s where we just “let ‘em play”
  3. Harris is a weapon with a dead eye kicking action. Her work all over the ground has been a highlight tonight. If we can make some wiser choices with ball in hand through the midfield, we are a big chance
  4. Paxmen another long kick down the throat of a Lion. Completely killing us
  5. Paxmen is completely cooked. Two critical errors for two goals this evening. Move her out of defence
  6. West and Hore just confirming my point - we lack polish and can’t kick and Bannan further confirming my point…natural talent who can kick
  7. They’ve got a few loose targets by looking to switch play. Lions players are nailing targets through the corridor with precision. The fact their teammates mark the ball also helps, but this is the difference I speak of. I got over my hatred of the umpiring in this league and stuck with it, but I hold firm on my views. Our supposed top 5 lack polish. I used to think Paxmen was the best user of the footy in our team, but she looks way off it this season. I’d be spinning a few magnets.
  8. Just remind them not to bounce. Practice the solo or touch the ball on the ground. Cost a goal.
  9. Don’t get defensive of your countrywomen Dub. It’s a fact. If you are watching, our best 5 players and most experienced are poor field kicks. Admittedly Hore is a good shot on goal. Around the ground we consistently miss targets.
  10. Bannan is the most skilled player on our list with proper footy smarts. She will be one of the best players in the comp in the next couple of years.
  11. Oh and I’ll had one more thing, the Irish girls have all the heart in the world and can run, but cannot kick or bounce the ball. So not sure what they add
  12. Daisy, Paxmen, Scott and Hore are all C grade kicks. That’s the biggest difference here. Lions hitting their kicks and we turn it over
  13. We are simply not anywhere near skilled enough to execute the game plan the coach has asked them to play to. It relies on pinpoint kicking and chipping away. The Lions kicking is far more accurate and they are light years ahead of our girls.
  14. I’ve had to turn off. The passage with about 9minutes left on the clock sums up where the womens game is at. Poorly officiated garbage. It’s like watching an entirely different game
  15. Anyone know what the deal is with NB sizes. I have bought Large and XL in the past and there is no consistency in the sizes at all. The reproduction 90s Demon pre season we wore in members round, I got a large, it was so tight. Then I got a regular Large from NB outlet and it was fine. Then an XL and it was same as the L. It’s really confusing
  16. Good to see us fight it out. Lack of awareness probably cost us a couple of extra goals. However, we were out bodied around the ball and couldn’t move it cleanly at all. Agree tht it was not a forward issue, but we needed to roll up the ground higher. Needed more targets at CHF and some ground level representation crumbing the packs. Erin Phillips is a class above most players in the AFLW. She reads the ball off packs superbly and knows where to position herself. Libby Birch is terrific at reading the ball in flight, but less so at ground level. I feel we try to play too precisely at times, and really lack the skill to play a precise game. We looked better in the last when moving the ball quickly
  17. She is second to the ball and when she ‘nails’ one it is clumsy and she gives away free kicks. Simple as that
  18. Yeah …we are way off the benchmarks. We cannot get the ball moving with any fluidity at all. The signs were there the last 2 weeks, but we did enough to get over the line. Against a quality outfit today, we have been completely shown up.
