Preview Season 7, Round 3 v North Melbourne: Saturday 10 September @ Wigan Oval (Unley Oval)

[Firewalker]

Better Quarter, but as usual wasted chances through sloppy play up forward. Way too loose on a lot of North players still around contests and missed tackles costly when they had build pressure. Can’t allow Jas Garner to run around that loose in the second half.

Clarke needs to try and fix how much space North have to lead up to the ball when they waltz out of defence too. Defensive group has been shithouse, Sarah Allan needs a rocket to improve as has been strangely down all season so far and has been played in a confusing role of not taking a main forward and trying to play the 3rd up role instead and it hasn’t worked.

Also what have we done to deserve Underwood commentary two weeks in a row. She SUCKS

She seemed to forget which team Courtney Cramey played for when they were watching her coach her group.
She said something along the lines of Courtney Cramey former all Australian and premiership player of this team...... Err.... Adelaide.

 

[Scorpus]

Geez we are bad at taking forward 50 marks

 

[Firewalker]

Woodland with the opposite of the Midas touch today

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Is there a last touch rule in the AFLW. Not understanding some of the rules.

 

[Firewalker]

Najwa Allen should be asked to leave the ground at 3qtr time.

 

[Scorpus]

Our midfield is on top but we're not good at finding players in space and have been woeful in the air up forward. The fact Jones has only 5 touches is really poor as she's our best user, need to be finding her more.

Button, Dowrick and Allen aren't up to standard in this match. Button has a gold pass

 

[Firewalker]

Whatever the outcome safe to say the Crows game plan has turned into a dumpster fire.

Amazing to believe Hannah Button won a SANFLW best and fairest and now she looks like the worst player in the AFLW.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Terrible standard of game. We need to lift a deal to win although NM not much better. Marinoff a star.

 

[Scorpus]

Ponter is a gun

 

[crows dude]

Well done Ponter

 

[Firewalker]

Should’ve just left Ponter one out in the forward 50 all game. Ponter’s Paddock.

 

[Scorpus]

Gould has been excellent too

 

[Crow_68]

Terrible standard of game. We need to lift a deal to win although NM not much better. Marinoff a star.

The standard of the comp has gone significantly downhill this season, talent spread too thin with the expansion clubs. Will take 3-4 seasons to correct itself.

 

[Firewalker]

Gould has been excellent too

Great 2nd half

 

[Scorpus]

Good effort to win, also a bit lucky with the game plan we rolled out with

 

[Scorpus]

North didn't kick a goal after quarter time and didn't get an inside 50 in the final quarter

 

[treeman]

Good to get the wins at this point of the season even if they are ugly.
Hopefully we will get better as the season goes long.

 

[Firewalker]

Ponter, Gould, Marinoff and Randall win them the match.

Good effort to win, also a bit lucky with the game plan we rolled out with

To be fair they did suck North in to try to play that same style as well to their detriment. Also North continuing to play one behind the ball in that last quarter didn’t help them, games between these two teams are always like this, both teams have always mirrored each other with their style.

Take the win given I didn’t have them as favourites coming into the match.

Ponter is a gun

Sometimes she just frustrates the hell out me

Was double teamed most of the game..,

 

[Firewalker]

Was double teamed most of the game..,

On occasions she had to deal with that, her dropped marks in the 1st qtr were against no opponent.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Never really felt like we were going to lose the game despite scores being close for much of it. Had midfield control which told in the end.

 

[brucetiki]

Glouftsis out there again…

And getting shown up by the 16 year old (who actually did a great job)

 

[brucetiki]

Who would ask that
The 2 night games (Melbourne and Geelong) were Norwood (Melbourne moved to Glenelg) while the other 3 games were always Unley.

I also had some twit around me today carrying on that the umps wearing white was offensive to Indigenous Round
