Preview Season 7, Round 9 v Geelong: Friday 21 October @ Wigan Oval (Unley Oval)

Adelaide v Geelong
Friday 21 October
5:10pm
Wigan Oval (Unley Oval)

It's our turn to have the dreaded 5:10pm Friday afternoon slot (and the AFLW wonders why crowd numbers are down).

A real danger game this week following our loss to Brisbane and Geelong being in some decent form. Can the girls respond, and fire up, from last week?

 

[Scorpus]

Geelong are 6-2 but have only beaten Richmond and the Bulldogs out of the current top 8, losing to North and Collingwood. They don't play Brisbane or Melbourne at all.

The Crows would be top of the ladder undefeated if they had their draw

What an utterly unwatchable timeslot - replay for me I guess

It was originally meant to be 6:10pm at Norwood, which was bad enough. Then they made it 5:10pm, which is just ridiculous.

The timeslot is about as fan unfriendly as it gets

Better than the 5:10pm Tuesday we got vs GWS and Hawthorn during covid.

Randall out for 3-5 weeks

Ah s**t that makes things difficult

Back in time for the Gf

To be fair, they were one offs to ensure we had a season in 2020.

This is just madness from the AFLW

Glad she's getting a match. Now every player on our list will have had a chance to play a match. Hopefully she goes well!

Big shakeup in defence!

Rajcic, Simmons and Button all dropped.

All deserved omissions. None were up to standard this year

Was thinking, who's Burton? Button deserves to be dropped after that horrible game.
Good to see Tonon back in.

Oops, autocorrect! Obviously I’ve written Burton too many times in my BigFooty life haha!

 

[cmndstab]

All good outs (other than Randall ). The ins all mostly make sense, although what has happened to Waterhouse?

You'd have to think Prowse will request a trade to Port at the end of the season. She is clearly never getting a game as long as Gould and McKinnon are available, and both are still super young.

I would prefer Zoe in for either Ward or Whiteley.
Rotate Prowse with Gould and Mckinnon. McKinnon stationed in defense - her kicking for goal is unwatchable but she seems adept at reading the play and intercept marking. Gould primarily in attack.
At least it gives us some tall marking players across the field.

Lets fast forward a few months, then cut them.

It's bizarre. She looked like a fantastic addition to our forward line, admittedly agaist not much opposion.

I still have some question marks over her, but surely she offers more than Whiteley? Not to mention, our forward line has looked so static in recent weeks and we won't be able to rely on Randall going down there to shake things up.

Defintiely. She offers something different up there.

I don't get why we persist with Whitely, she played 1 good game and done sweet stuff all for the rest. Waterhouse has shown more in her 2 games than Whitely has in 19.

 

[Scorpus]

A very Adelaide game so far

 

[JP Sauce]

Ponter! Lovely running goal.

Boy this has been a rough start. Another week of plenty of F50 entries with little threat of scoring.

 

[Crow-eater]

Great transition but can't finish it on the scoreboard. Tale as old as time.
