1+2 kicking forward and disposal...
Yep, disposal was poor today.
When you've got a new kid as your #1 tall, you know all the players are not on the same page.
TBH, i reckon we should've moved Good out and played a smaller quicker forward line and dribbled the ball inside 50.
Collingwoods strengths were their marking/intercept defenders, take them out of the game by not kicking high and long.
Side note, disappointed with Daisy Walkers kicking. Worse than Wilsons? Can't afford turnovers coming out of defence. Trudgeon was a worry in that regard too. We need a taller option to give Harrington and Laloifi a chopout that can actually kick, then we'll be ok down back.
3. centre setups.
Moody dominated and gave our girls the ball on a plate, but we were too fumbly too often. Prespakis is the only one who seems to be able to get the ball and get it to a teammate in traffic. McKay will be a player, and she is better than that, but she needs to improve. We missed Egan here. Pies are the best midfield going IMO though. We do miss the manic pressure of a hosking/loynes in there though.
4. New gals...
Said my piece earlier, i think you were a bit harsh on Jones though. Was one of our best IMO.
5. Injuries...
A byproduct of the expanding AFLW is the smaller list sizes and the way injuries can really hurt. At least 2 down, possibly more, meaning we've probably only got a handful of other players fit enough for a game next week which is a worry and something the AFL need to look at.
