Review AFLW Qualifying Final, vs Lions, @ Ikon Park (Carlton), Sunday 10 Nov 1.05pm

[Davo-27]

Nice chain of handballs and a snap goal from Ashmore

 

[PenAndPaper]

We are playing so ridiculously well right now, we really should be a couple more goals up.

 

[dixyland]

I love the aggression of Jess Vukic.

 

[I got the outside word]

Aine limped off, any info?

Looks fine on the bench currently

Stand out for me is our strength in the contest.

Very few Hawks going to ground and we seem to be creating our own luck through second / third efforts.

The intensity is excellent .

 

[Davo-27]

Williamson intercepts has a shot from 50m, bounces wrong way

Haw 3.6 24
Bris 2.1 13

 

[dixyland]

A kick from Conway that both the free kick and the 50 deserved.

 

[PenAndPaper]

What a smother by Bodey

 

[I got the outside word]

Smith having a great 5 minutes.

 

[PenAndPaper]

The ability of our mids and other defenders to get back and crumb has been so good all year but today in particular, we have looked so ****ing good.

 

[Rimsy]

keeping brisbane scoreless in that quarter was huge.

great teamwork by the girls, our pressure all over the ground is fantastic.

 

[The hands of stone]

Brilliant half from the girls!
Can we keep this up?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Brisbane kicking backwards in defence is something you don't see very often. They're scared.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

We are a better second half team so I would say so. Last kick inside 50 is a bit too direct. We have had players on their own on the flank.

Brisbane are relying on the ball getting out the back, a gameplan that normally fails at all levels

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

The AFL want the game to improve.

They can start with the umpiring.

Unless you've actually been watching it, it's impossible to convey just how dire the umpiring is.

Multiple HTB decisions unpaid, infringements missed, and the cherry on top was watching the boundary ' umpire' picking the ball up after a free and randomly throw it to a couple of players , having no idea who's ball it was.

It's absolutely atrocious, and it's frustrating the crowd (who you can gear complaining loud and often about missed frees) and it's confusing the players.

I counted at least 8 WTF gestures from players who made genuine tackles and were not rewarded.

It's a huge issue, and needs urgently sorting out.

Richo, Smith and Everist have been huge back there.

Midfield has been very good, we’ve had the better of them up forward but have wasted some chances.

Feels to me like Gilroy is going to kick a few in the second half.

 

[killerspud]

At the game

Crowd an atmosphere is awesome

Hawks playing good footy.

Lets go

 

[I got the outside word]

Putting some time into West now which is smart.

 

[I got the outside word]

God Tilly is a weapon off half back.

 

[Davo-27]

Brisbane get the first of the 2nd half, they have upped their aggression

Haw 3.6 24
Bris 3.1 19

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lots of poor marking of players to let them score there.

 

[Davo-27]

Haw 3.6 24
Bris 4.1 25

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Not sure what Sherriff was doing there, but just didn’t want to get involved and Lions take it the length of the ground.
