Women's Footy Preliminary Final, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Adelaide

[Elixuh]

Gee I wish we could have won a McClelland instead of making four Grand Finals in a row. Oh well.

The McClelland is the missing piece

 

[MSB ROYS]

Very impressive performance. Never gave up and ground Adelaide into submission.

Orla, Belle, Ally and Nat amazing.

 

[Hollow Knight]

how much you paying the umps ?

Nice melt.

Stop getting caught HTB to start with, that will fix your free kick issues.

Then you can work on not dropping uncontested marks.

Lily P and Orla were outstanding. Grider, Koenen, Campbell stood up all game. We probably weren’t at our best for parts of the game but they held us together. Dawes is just a game changer. Hodder was vital. Looking Harthill’s game more each time she plays.

We will go in as underdogs next week but that probably suits us best. Just make North have to deal with our pressure and chaos.

I don’t think I heard that right.
6th AflW Grand Final for the Girls?
That’s amazing

 

[Hollow Knight]

Just wait until we get Lucy Ashcroft in this team for a handful of fourth round picks.

3 wins and 3 losses please.

Crows might want to start holding some marks

Amazing the difference a bit of pressure makes. Even on the occasions they had time and space they played as tho they had none.

I don't think the conditions were to blame; didn't really look to get dewy and slippery like I thought it would. My own hands are usually a pretty good guide and they are still dry as a bone when generally they clam up to buggery in high humidity.

 

[Grasshopper17]

lol I guess that why ruby doesn’t want to bounce

Hardly. She has mastered the art of the double bounce. I think this deserves its place in the coaching manual.

I can feel the Roos choking already....Go Lionssseesssses

Well on the "having a hard prelim" stat we are well ahead. Also we won our 3rd quarter tonight by more than the Roos did, and we won our 4th while they lost theirs.

So on a (very) short term form timeline things look promising for us.

Don't get me wrong I fully realise I'm clutching at any straw I can here

 

[Jivlain]

Bit of a coaching masterclass at halftime with the changes to Grider and CSvarc's roles, full credit to Starce and the coaches for that. And for the players on implementing the vision.

 

[Dalions]

Yep 2 wins, 3 losses.

Let’s hope we can even the ledger

 

[dlanod]

3 wins and 3 losses please.

It's in our hands!

Adelaide is three from four. If we win, three from six is clearly the best AFLW club. 2 from 6 at least keeps us in the conversation.

North have more to lose next week - a chance to release their own version of the streak and make some $$

 

[dlanod]

Hardly. She has mastered the art of the double bounce. I think this deserves its place in the coaching manual.

One of the girls in our U11s team bounces the ball by throwing it up and letting it hit the ground. It gives all of us absolute fits. Maybe she should give lessons.

And this is legal I presume?

Reminds me of a Gaelic football story actually.

Apparently one year at the Australasian championships, the South Australian team was full of Aussie Rules players, and none of them knew how to "solo" the ball. (This is where you kick it to yourself while running at full pace. You have to bounce every 4 steps but you're not allowed to bounce twice in a row so you solo every 8 steps. The Irish do it as second nature but teaching us Aussies is a nightmare!)

Anyway they got around this by having a bounce, and then instead of soloing, they'd handball up in the air in front of themselves, wait for it to bounce (you're not allowed to catch your own handball on the full), and then regather and play on.

As Ray Warren might have said, "that is legal, legal, and legal."

But it did force the GAA back in Ireland to rewrite the rule book!

 

[dlanod]

And this is legal I presume?

No one's pulled her up yet but given it's usually the U13s and U15s umpiring I'm not going to make any claims with full certainty.

Garbage....everyone knows Hawks are the best team

 

[MSB ROYS]

That finger in the air from Belle was like Voss!

Any excuse for more Voss...
