AFLW - game 7 vs Suns @ Carrara Stadium, 1pm Sunday 6 October 2024

Yes, it’s only 3.5 days away :crazy_face:

They’re bottom of the ladder, but did alright versus the Hawks and could easily have had four wins against those four other pretty-poor teams!

No overlapping opponents with us for comparison.

Scores for this year:

Essendon 30.25.205
Suns 22.35.167 ← two more scores than us

The big difference is the Suns have conceded 307 and we have conceded 205… despite them playing much lower-ranked teams.

Also a WARF Radio game, with our Qld based team.

Warning: it’s going to be about 31º at the start of this game (but low humidity)… at least they’re also coming off a <4 day break between games.

They have perhaps only two injuries going into this game (Gee and Saad), so both teams have some scope to rotate players. Hopefully Scott’s corky is kind to her.

We better effin’ not drop Adams for Jacques.

Should drop Gee for Jacques - she was awful last night.

It’s an “if”, but good news (especially with the frankly ridiculous 88 hour gap between games).

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Extended squad only:

Could have sworn we played yesterday but now are already naming a team for the next match?

Welcome to the CONDENSED FIXTURE.

Feature, not a bug. Apparently.

You are correct in calling an 88 hour break to interstate after a five day break is bullshit.

But today is Thursday, so lots of teams get provisionally named.

Sunny and 31c on Sunday. I hope they train in a sauna this week :sun_with_face: :fire:

FWIW, Busch and Gee named on the ground.

Choose three to eliminate from the bench:

  • Toogood
  • Amber
  • Adams
  • Vogt
  • Gamble
  • MORCS
  • Gough
  • Williamson

… or choose otherwise. And where the hell is Jacques?

GOLD COAST

IN: E.Barwick, K.Lynch, C.McCrossan, K.Bischa

OUT: W.Randell (injured)

(Other notable change elsewhere is Farquharson to debut for the Dogs.)

A chance to leap gracefully into the 8 if we win this one.
