Zanka... that should seal it, we look on top after a slow start.

Yay, we got paid a crow throw :)

I'd say it bounces different compared to Casey, they should know the bounces are going to be high and read them better. Hopefully with our pressure we can bring this home.

Better effort so far this quarter... just need some scoreboard pressure to make it count.

AFLW: QF vs Adelaide
Crows are setting up for the linking/exit handball and covering the switches. That initial stopped our run. Their play seems to kick it forward quickly to space and pressure again. How did Taylor not get a push int he back for the ruck contest for that goal. blatant two hands in the back with a visible push.

AFLW: Rd 10 vs West Coast
With 34secs to go and her distance from goal in the wind, it was the right decision but from what I saw on tv the leading player misjudged and ran under it or Daisy kicked it too far. Over the course of the game we has ample opportunity . They said before the game, the team focus was defence (getting ready for finals), I think they achieved their goal.

AFLW: Rd 09 vs Essendon
How did a 50 from the square, end up in the centre?

AFLW: Rd 09 vs Essendon
Top spot will be decided next week, Brissie are too far ahead after yesterday's win. Hopefully the pies next week kick a big score, even if brissie win.

Saints Sack Ratten & Appoint Lyon as Coach
Yeah the 6 month contract has bene in for a bit, I assumed it went to all clubs not just those assisted. In the reports today their "leaders" said Ratten didn't have the structure within the club to help him succeed. Then why did they sack him and not fix the support/structure problems. Bit like when everyone wanted to sack Hardwick (Me too) they reviewed and changed his support and assistances and the rest is history. While places are limited why would you go there to coach.

Saints Sack Ratten & Appoint Lyon as Coach
So they didn't like his answers in a 7 hour meeting. They've said they don't want to be a 6 - 10 club. So I'm guessing he too blunt on what really lay ahead as after being resigned, when they were winning he thought they were on the same page? What do they think caused their late season slump? Draw, injuries to key's like Ryder etc. The players trust him. As for being "tough" or demanding enough. You can't demand more effort out of players if they don't trust you and according to reports they still do. I'm guessing this the a case of the board over estimating the list and what it can achieve, or is the list manager saying they should have gotten more out of the group this year. I guess after 2019 they expected to push deep into finals.

Saints Sack Ratten & Appoint Lyon as Coach
Nah, I think his name is the first thing that pops up whenever a coaching job appears. At least he's knows his way around the place, might still have his keys.

Saints Sack Ratten & Appoint Lyon as Coach
They'll some excited new rookies being picked by the saints next month, not... Saints had their problem but it looks like the board had concerns but never raised them so Rotten could respond during the season. he can get great efforts from the team and other times, nothing. Is that a culture thing at the saints? We have been through that late season collapse many times.

Wow, from a review? Most likely the you efforts between games as a major reason. But out of the blue, not even a leak before hand.

Isn't that some breach of the rules according to the AFL?

Best outcome given Freo's hand. Lets hope them and North have [censored] years next year. It will be interesting to see how he goes with the huge expectation on him now. As for Bedford, great potential, but a fringe player for the top 22, didn't sent the game on fire when he did play across 4 qtrs. So about right.
-
AFLW: Rd 07 vs Western Bulldogs
I think that was the best game by the team for 4 qtrs for the whole season. We kept the pressure up and didn't let them back in, albeit against a weaker team.

Intestine on trading day on fox. they said for both the LJ and Dunkley trades, they have asked for these players to come to their clubs and offered big contracts. It's really up to them to come to the party with the offer to finish the deal, even if they pay overs.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
Can you trade for the no.1 pick in the PSD? I don't think its ever been done. That way if he goes there, we can just draft him back :)

What LJ can do, is have a tour of the WC facilities (They are very nice) to get Freo moving some more.
