I thought the team showed good flexibility, not sure why it took so long to try some of this stuff, maybe that's a learning curve for the coach.
After a shaky team 1st-Qtr I thought Moody settled and showed she is a class above for the remainder of the game.
I thought Hill and McKay got plenty of footy without being overtly dominant as they have been in past weeks, perhaps I'm just getting accustomed to them mopping up the footy. I think that can be a very good sign, McKay must be right up there now in the B&F. I'm still not convinced too much handball is a good thing for the girls, but if that helped them hit targets then I won't complain because we've not been good by foot in recent weeks.
Personally, I think the first AFLW coach that gets the girls playing more of a Gaelic style overlap run and gun game will be on a winner.
Hill and McKay featured prominently in the coaches' votes, behind Breann Moody. You're probably right about us becoming accustomed to them getting lots of the footy.
Elise O'Dea copped a week for striking Hannah Priest. I didn't notice it but suspect it was when there was a free kick reversal in the first quarter. We'll miss O'Dea's grunt work around the ground.
