Re: AFLW Season 8 - 2023 - blueianh - 08-19-2023
Watching the AFLW practice match against Sydney on the live stream, again worrying signs. Last week the reigning premiers pantsed us, this week it is a team that struggled last year well on top of us. Haven't been able to get the score on the board, blown a couple of good chances, but still in general play being beaten to my eye. Could be a long season.

Outs > Ins for a few years running now.
Can't see a reason for our competitiveness to change with that trend.

Much improved 3rd quarter and finally got results on the scoreboard, thanks largely to Moody who kicked our first 2 goals. 8 points down at 3QT but with the momentum.

SYD 2.3 4.5 4.7 5.8 (38)
CARL 0.3 0.4 3.5 4.5 (29)
Goals: Moody 2, Austin, Hill
Bests: Moody, Austin, Skepper, Vickers, Cordner
Sydney didn't win a game last year. This bodes poorly. Then again, we aren't close to our best team on the park.

Can't find a team lineup and didn't see any of the match, so not sure who we had missing from our list.
.....but i could probably pick a team of players from the AFLW who were previously on our list but are now elsewhere.......and they'd win!

Watched the AFLW practice match against Sydney on the live stream, again worrying signs early. Last week the reigning premiers pantsed us, this week a team that struggled last year were well on top of us for the first half. Unable to get the score on the board, blew a couple of good chances, but still in general play being beaten to my eye.
Different outfit after half time. Q3 we finally got on the scoreboard and closed to within 8 points with the momentum our way. Pressed hard in Q4, got to within a goal but lost by 9 after they goaled after the siren.
Much improved on last week, but the quality of opponent much reduced. In particular we were much better outside the contest this week.
Moody huge as usual, usual suspects stood except for Vescio who I thought was generally quiet. Mia Austin looked good as did the 2 new Irish girls especially Erone Fitzpatrick, they both add run and speed and if they are on an upward curve look out opposition.
Overall more light on the horizon than last week, or indeed half time, but we need to get value for our forward entries. With Vescio, Austin and Skepper up forward and Moody drifting forward we have the talent, the defence is solid and the midfield has quality individuals so there is something to work with.

Moody going forward is going to be a thing this season. I think that she could be quite effective, particularly with our back up rucks and increased run out of the midfield.
As Moods said, it was a practice match and they used the opportunity to practise some different tactics.

I'd love to be able to clone Moody.....maybe get her sister?
One forward and one in the ruck would be a good start.
