Hampson is back. Huge in for us and should give us a really good chance of winning.
Much better from us in the third quarter. It's going to take a big effort from Carlton to snatch it from here.
Given ourselves a real chance now. Only 7% difference between us and the 8th placed Dogs and we have GWS next week which has the potential to be another big win for us. The Bulldogs play West Coast in Perth tomorrow and Carlton at Ikon Park next Friday. If the Dogs lose either of those games then we're right there with a genuine chance of jumping into the 8 on the final day of the season. Definitely helps that we have a 9 day break now and the Bulldogs have a 6 day break coming off a game in Perth. North Melbourne present another avenue for us to enter the 8 as well. The Kangaroos would need to lose to Collingwood tomorrow AND Richmond next week (which is possible) but that seems the less likely avenue.
Kangas and Doggies are definitely a real chance to drop both games, and Gold Coast Girls should be able to put the Giants away and sure up a spot. Here's hoping anyway!
Our girls do have another way of making the finals. We would need the Kangaroos to lose both of their remaining games to fellow top 8 teams Collingwood + Richmond and then we would just need to beat GWS next Sunday to take their spot in the finals.
I have a feeling we're going to get our shot at revenge in the first round of the finals (should we make it). Richmond should beat GWS on Sunday and that will allow them to jump up to 5th on the ladder and we're obviously eyeing off 8th position for our spot in the finals so it's entirely possible we'll get the Tigers at Punt Rd in round one of this year's AFLW finals series. They may have cheated us a few weeks ago, but we'll be having the last laugh if we knock Richmond out of their first ever AFLW finals series on their home deck.
It's been a great season from our girls. Our best to date in fact, but when you're 7% behind 8th place with one round to go then you really, really want to play finals. Hopefully North lose to Collingwood tomorrow. That keeps two avenues into the finals alive for us going into the final round of the season.
Alana Gee is supposed to be really quick so perhaps she'll be the one that you identified as a missing piece for us. If our girls do make the finals this season then I have a feeling that it's going to be a whole lot easier for us to convince players from down south to join us in the off season.
She's been fantastic. Moved to us from Carlton in the off season so last night was a particularly important game for her for obvious reason. She's provided a genuine small forward option for us that I felt we were lacking in the past. I don't think you can fault her at all this season.
That second quarter was better from the Eagles. They just need to hit the scoreboard with some majors.
There's also a very small possibility that Richmond could create another avenue into the top 8 for us. The Tigers would need to lose to GWS today and then get smashed by North next week but if those two results play out then there's a small possibility we end up jumping them on percentage.
