Game Day AFLW Round 8, 2024: West Coast vs Fremantle

[Carbine Chaos]

Don't expect to beat good teams in this competition if you can't hit the side of a barn.

Very frustrating quarter. Sloppy free kicks, lack of awareness to let Freo take advantage and kick goals, wasting chances.

Need the first in the next quarter or can really see a repeat of last week.

Really good to see Rowley back out there.

First advantage was a lack of awareness. Second advantage to be fair was just an instinctive hack off the boot, probably a dumb advantage to take, not as concerned about that one.

The ability for them to split our tackles is a bigger drain on our chances.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Kick it to Ella.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Beth has started very well again today. Makes us look so much better down back.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

That skill error from the kick out...leaving Bel Smith injured too. Good stuff.

 

[jatz14]

I just don't see us regularly kicking a winning score with a forward line of Franklin and Roux.

Their capacity to not be in the right place is bordering on uncanny.

Roux needs to go at the footy instead of the player.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

L Wakfer's turn to miss a soda. Doesn't even make the distance from 20m out.

Bordering on comical now.

 

[Ochre]

We're not good enough to waste these chances

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Britton's decision making though. Why handball off to Swanson when she's one of the worst by foot in the side.

 

[jatz14]

Roux needs to go at the footy instead of the player.

It's noticeable isn't it. Every time there is a loose ball, her first instinct is to look at the opposition and try to bump.

Would be ok if she kept her eye on the ball and was just trying to make space, but she totally just loses the run at the ball.

[Ochre]

Having Hosking back really shows the lack of desperation of some of the others

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Wasteful when we’ve got periods of momentum, heck

 

[Livin1989]

Wow, we are just missing everything.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Western misses a soda now.

Should be 1-2 goals up. Instead we're handing Freo their 7th (?) straight derby.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Gee whiz.

 

[squashface]

Cannot kick a farkin goal

 

[Barrybran]

Great hands by Gibson. Our finishing is terrible.

 

[Ochre]

Feel like at some point, Freo's going to end the idea of a contest very quickly.

 

[Ochre]

**** sake

 

[Carbine Chaos]

We've beaten ourselves here.

Embarrassing.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Poor awareness from Wakfer, caught in between the contest or the over the back.

Should be about a goal down. Instead, likely game over.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Simply have too many players you can’t reliably trust to receive a handball on the run. Such a fundamental momentum killer.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Roux and Franklin 0 touches between them.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Getting dominated. Losing our balance around the ball again.
