AFLW Port Adelaide vs St Kilda - Round 8 @ Alberton

[Portmagpies36]

Interesting none of the AFLW players attempt a dribble kick when running into an open goal, Gemma Houghton just seems to panic and just rushes her kicks

She gives me Dixon vibes.

13 - 3 free kicks including two 50s against.

Apparently kicking 2.0 to 1.1 is bringing the game back to even when you're kicking with the wind after the opposition kicked 5.1 to 1.0.

If there is a strong breeze going that way then lucky we didn’t let St Kilda get too close on the scoreboard.

4 goals is a handy lead when we’re kicking that way next.

It's firm, but not as strong as the last game. Definitely a factor in AFLW where they have such poor penetration though.

Think it might be calming.

And there not good vibes

Some of those non decisions
Criminal

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Are the umpires just intimidated by the tackling and the pressure by the Port players? That’s the only thing I can think of for such a ridiculous free kick count at half time.

They don't want a blowout after the criticism they got for the Dogs Dons match

2 baffling HTB calls, but other than that, not too bad.

The one where the Port player was brought down via a tackle around her legs was an absolute Barry Crocker!

Gemma has more game post mark-attempt then Dixon. Dixon aniamorphed into a bollard if the ball hit the deck.

 

[Coobk001]

We are such an enjoyable team to watch at the minute

We're quite a high scoring team really for AFLW, given our overall ability level, so I think that helps. I agree though. Lots of exciting young talent.

Scholz literally just monstering everyone out there.

The umpiring against Collingwood was just as bad, it’s absolutely amateur league div 7 standard.

I thought the one where our player dive tackled the Saints player on the ground, the Saints player left it and our player then had it and they paid HTB against us was probably the worst.

Since the West Coast game her confidence has gone through the roof.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Scholz 13 disposals, 21 hitouts, 3 clearances

 

[Portmagpies36]

Maloney strangled from the centre bounce it’s a ball up!!!!

 

[Marmozet]

I SEE IT BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TazD]

What is this free kick they speak of?

 

[Macca_1870]

Even that free was to a Saint. Umpiring is cooked.

 

[Marmozet]

ASHLEIGH BABY YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO ALIVE

 

[RossFC]

Saint with another.

Ports lead 44 to 18 12 mins left in the 3rd quarter.

- Whoever this knobby commentator is.

 

[Marmozet]

Just imagine if you added Janelle Cuthbertson, Hannah Dunn, Indy Tahau, Lauren Young and the Hannah Ewings of 2022 to this team.

 

[TazD]

Lmao what is with these umps

 

[Jojay]

These umpires suck
