The two games started at the same time, but the third quarter of Freo-Geelong starts well before the Port-Cats second quarter finishes.
Those players stuck on the bench finally get to see/console her.
Alberton finishes Q2 when there was 50 seconds to go in Q3 at Freo.
If the Dogs (1.7) or Cats (1.8) lose it would be… not good.
Mind you, Freo have gone three quarters without scoring, despite the rain disappearing ages ago, so that seems unlikely.
Freo crowd give a (non-ironic!!!) cheer for their first point with five minutes left.
At the end of the game they’re on two losses and 27%. They’ve never missed finals, and it was certainly not predicted for this year.
Phillips fails to kick her first PA goal (and put them in front).
9-13, near the end of the third quarter.

Some of these scores are underwhelming this round, unfortunately.
I feel like there needs to be an adjustment made with either the number of player on the ground, or the size of the ground.
These 1 goal to 3 goal games are not sustainable.
(NB. I’m an AFLW fan and hope it succeeds)
Footscray 3.10.28 defeat Port 1.3.9
Sarah Ford (remember her?) named for the Bin Chickens.
Nalder is again an emergency for the Saints.
West Coast (who we play next week) are getting done over by Gold Coast (2-33 at the final break).
We will replace them in the eight when that game finishes.
