We may take a KPD @ 11

We don't really have a player like Windsor on the list, I can understand why they may be enamored with him

Best available please. Picking for needs in the first round is a mistake.

Does this mean if we win tomorrow and keep winning we get a home Grand Final (even if Adelaide make it)?

Adelaide have to get through us to make the GF so yes.

Good result

West was awful against Brisbane. Panicked disposals which cost us goals and field position repeatedly. If she can’t handle the pressure of home and away then how is she going to be in finals?

Fwiw I think she is probably just down on confidence and she definitely has it in her to be one of our best, as she showed most of last season. It’s a big call to drop her.

Yep, it's why I think we play Goldie in the middle against these teams in particular.

She has the strength to go with them. Lil is most definitely not the answer.

I wouldn't also be against the idea of running Harris in short bursts as a mid to break things up a bit.

We keep giving teams the same look. Mick talks about the teams flexibility, it's time to really show it.

On another note, I hope Makin is back this week..she adds real X factor to the forward half that's been missing.

Zanker has also had some excellent games as a mid in previous seasons. But Goldie in there for sure against Adelaide and Brisbane.

Very very poor showing.

Selection baffling with Campbell and Wilson out for Ivey and Watt (why?!), and Gall ultimately staying in the team. 
We look very one-dimensional without Paxy and really missed Lampard and Gay’s steadiness in the backline. Gall looks to have talent but clearly is not ready for finals-like footy.

Brisbane destroyed us with footy smarts. A lot of really dumb decisions, particularly by West who had a stinker.

Such a frustrating watch.

I am going to argue that ****house goal kicking cost us a PF.

 

We lost the game in many ways. One of them was goalkicking. One of them was Schache as sub over Grundy.

I doubt he will be bid on so the club will either take him as our last pick (like Woey jnr) or rookie

She's a ripper...

My comment re her and Garner is not meant as a put down, I just think Goldie might be the better match on pure defensive terms. Shelley might get the job and it wouldn't surprise me, she will be a real pain in the a... for Garner and may hurt more going the other way.

Garner will be too smart for Goldie. Heath is the one for the job, as mentioned she is strong

Adelaide aren't going to be in a better position draft wise this time next year.

They will most likely play finals which means their first round pick drops down to the mid teens and may be used on their future father son in Welsh who looks like a bona fide early first round pick.

Do they have any key defenders left? An injury to Tex and they could be bottom 4.

It’s a Gamble…

Not really, we still hold the cards next year and I’m not convinced that what Adelaide can offer would get us near Reid.

I was just thinking tonight that I was going to miss the Freo death ride, maybe we have another one for 2024!

Tomorrow we should think very carefully. 
if Petty has checked out, we should Cash in. 
it depends what The Croms are prepared to cough up. 

Nope. Plenty can change in a year, and even more can change in two years.

Would prefer lions to beat Adelaide next week. Would help our chances of home finals and make our path to a flag easier.

Definitely

We fell asleep in the second and third quarter. Huge 4^th quarter effort not enough to retrieve the situation.

Umpiring atrocious. Clown show, particularly in the 3^rd quarter.

Zanker was magnificent. Best game in the red and blue for her.

Harris huge in the ruck in last but quiet up to then.

This loss means we’ll have to win the flag in Adeliade most likely (getting ahead of myself potentially but those were easily the best 2 teams in the comp playing today). We can do it but it makes it so much harder.

Anyways, great game and advertisement for AFLW. Pity about the result.

Go Dees

Hopefully North can do us a solid and take them down. They have the quality.

Umps decided this one in the end

Outcoached. They have taken our game away from us. Have to run them off their feet this qtr

Bris will trade Fullerton for a pack of chips

Done a little sleuth on Brisbane bigfooty and they don’t care about losing him. Think he’s a bit soft like Schache, though apparently he is not scared of his own shadow like Schache. Future 4th and see how he goes in a new environment.

Regarding the OP, Joe Daniher nearly got Brisbane over the line. A quality key forward is still hugely valuable.

Our boys spent A LOT of time practicing goal kicking last summer. Brodie Grundy mentioned it on the Demonland podcast. Sadly, the pressure cauldron of finals football can’t be replicated and we just need to wait 12 months to hope it doesn’t happen again (assuming we’re good enough). 

Set shot kicking wasn’t the issue though. The issue was rushing ‘in play’ shots. We lacked composure.

sparrow needs to be a lot more of a workhorse thru midfield to feature in our top 10 i'd wager

nibbler i think is a chance, but i can't see sparrow getting a spot in our top 10 ahead of may, petracca, viney, lever, brayshaw, gawn, oliver, hunter, rivers, or pickett

Nibbler is a certainty for top 10 in the b&f.

Should we be looking at Lachie Keefe for short term ruck backup while we look for a long term solution?

What is this about? Sam Edmund and Whateley on trade bell
