The move up forward has reinvigorated her.
Could say the same thing about Vescio.
Still waiting for Darcy to get that same spark though.

A real drop off 4q, until the last 5 mins. Good signs lifting to finish strongly.
9th position believe it or not.

I think that the swap of ends for Darcy and Gab has really paid off. Gab has had her share of the footy as a defender but Darcy just hasn't got near it in the forward line. Tonight Darcy did get the footy and that really provided a lot of support for Mua and our other defenders. Gab just kept on putting in and got her reward on the scoreboard. She is a smart footballer and knows how to make the most of her opportunities at either end of the ground.
I like the look of the team with the four big girls. Serena and Taylor didn't have a huge impact but the Saints had to put a lot of defensive effort into them. Bre and Jess pretty much did as they pleased.
Brooke's first game back was OK. She tackled with intent and got a some decent disposals away while not really playing at her best.
I think that Harf would be pretty pleased with the team's effort tonight. That's the brand of footy that will trouble teams in the eight and give us a sniff of finals' action.

As mentioned by Moods in the pre-game, they really tweaked their game plan going into todays game to be more aggressive/offensive. It showed.
Of course the opposition allowed that to happen.
Be a big 3 weeks coming up. Before tonights game, our next 3 opponents were 7th, 8th and 9th. Which is ideal if we wanna try and steal a finals spot as it will come at the expense of 1 (or more) of them. We'll have 3 '8-point-games' in a row.
Still....those 2 draws will hurt us as we could be comfortable in the 8 if they were 2 wins.
Whatever happens from here, i'm not sure we'll do much damage in the finals. We are a 2nd tier team at best. But anything is possible on any given day.

You're probably right, but the team we had on the park tonight would scare most of the contenders.
We had some big bodies, a lot of endeavour, plenty of run and relentless pressure. If we make the opposition worry about what we're going to bring to the contest, we're in with a chance.

Spot on. So good, also, to see many fewer panic handballs into traffic. Well done Harf & crew. Loved the positional changes, really gave the side more balance and brought Darcy's talent into play more.

Had a look for a while, weak opposition but saw some effin system finally. AFLW is still hard to watch.

I enjoy the AFLW ... when we're doing OK. It's a bit like watching women's cricket, basketball or soccer; not quite the same as the men's games but entertaining just the same. Women's hockey is probably closer to the men's game in terms of skill level and tempo.
I'm not sure that St Kilda was that weak. They had players out and copped some injuries but I think that our pressure and physicality that tooks its toll and made them look ordinary. The test will be whether we can play the same brand of footy against the teams in the 8.
