Blues v Doggies - R4

[Jack Burton]

I think we're desparately short of quality midfielders (same as the mens team). I'd shop Vescio around, see if someone will trade a quality mid for her

[PaulP]

44-0 as I type. Flag favourites no more.

Success....we broke the duck.


.....and we kick a goal!  :o

[Lods]

That was much better.

Well done to Lauren Arnell. After a poor first half she's bounced back really well

Vescio stays.

Better delivery and she will not be beaten.

We are desperately short on depth at the moment.

Davey out - irreplaceable
Harris out - irreplaceable
Brazzale and Gee - Plenty of much needed run and carry missing
Loynes a late out can't be replaced

Thats 5 out of the team who would be picked if fit.

I'm not sure if there are any other players who are injured that i don't know about.

There are only 27 spots on an AFLW list plus an additional 3 rookies.

20 players play each game.
So that means (at best) we have 5 fit players who are not playing....possibly 3 of them rookies!

When 25% of your best team, including your captain, are missing you are going to struggle in this comp.

[PaulP]

Disproves the notion that the girls can't kick decent scores. And the Doggies haven't really been all that accurate.

[PaulP]

Lochland 7 goals 3. That's Fev-like.

[PaulP]

4th q is the first time I think I've seen our girls not go 100%. They look stuffed and dejected.

[PaulP]

This is like 2012 in miniature. Start with lots of expectations, high hopes, then injuries, and it's all over Gulshan Grover.

Understand that, but only 1 of those missing plays midfield, and we were horribly outclassed there tonight
