[Moonwatcher]

Unlucky

Jones back up forward a positive I suppose

Melbourne should be favourites for that game but I think it will be close, we match up better against them than we do Crows or Lions.

Drove past the game on the way home from work, was great roos representation there. Really glad they got the win, would love them to beat Melbourne next week.

 

[Firewalker]

Hatchard’s biomechanics are just all messed up when trying to dispose of the ball

 

[Scorpus]

The constant holding without any frees is infuriating

 

[Firewalker]

Munyard’s caught Hatchard’s disease has forgotten what to do when she gets the ball

 

[Firewalker]

Racjic like a geriatric out there

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Why is the Channel 7 mic always near the opposition cheersquad?

 

[Tas]

Biddell is such a good kick, I am surprised Crows don't push her into the middle and get the ball out to her to deliver inside 50.

 

[MatthewB]

Could they be cheering for Collingwood any more then what they are

 

[Scorpus]

Sucked in umps you cheating scumbags

 

[Tas]

Tough conditions, good win.

 

[jenny61_99]

Good ugly win despite conditions and shitty umpiring!

 

[John Who]

So glad the game completed! Lol
Proud of the girls today against tough conditions and 3rd quarter umps!

It looks like she’s trying to kick the ball too hard rather than relying on timing.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Chelsea back

Onward and upward

What was particularly funny is when they threw our player out of the way in the ruck contest and the ump found that he couldn't possibly ignore that one. I've never seen so much tackling without the ball and cannoning into a marker go unpunished: Collingwood just attacked our players rather than the ball all day.

 

[jenny61_99]

So Metricon up here?

 

[Firewalker]

That was putrid, blame the crazy conditions, blame the garbage umpires all you want but far too many games this year they’ve played like that.

Can’t figure out if it’s the coaching letting the players do want they want including the limited planning for opposition or it’s just the players footy IQ has gone down the toilet with the 2 seasons in one year.

Over the season, I'd agree with you. Today, however, I thought we played better than expected. Some of the handling and marking was pretty good for the conditions.

 

[Scorpus]

We'll likely have to beat the two teams we haven't so far to win the flag. Will be a fair effort

 

[Tas]

So Metricon up here?

Yep, last week Metricon is available, Brisbane wont have Gabba or Metricon available if they make it to the GF... so lets hope they don't make it.

 

[Interloperer]

Hatchard is a great player, but her game sense is way off. In the contest with ~60 seconds to go, a soccer off the ground forward to space would have literally won the game. Instead she stops to pick up the ball in a 1v4 situation.

1st half I do agree, that 2nd half was the team losing all their focus and clumsily losing their entire structure and trailing behind their opponents

 

[CrowinNT]

Let me guess, you noticed the umpires?

Seriously? What has been missed?
