AFLW - practice match vs Norf @ Windy Hill, 10am Sat 12 August 2023

Lily and VDH and van Dyke not playing.

Cutting Prespakis Cain and Blitz-sponsored Barba in the middle.

0-21

We’ve telegraphed handballs from marks to running-past players a lot today, and Norf have made many tackles from reading that.

0-27

1-27

Alexander denied obvious rundown tackle twenty out.

Gets a snap shortly afterwards; Toogood beats two but drops it, and it fell over the line.

They casually slot a set shot from the boundary. A Wales on the line might have touched that.

1-33

(Wales was on the bench at the time.)

All of Nanscawen’s kicks today have been clean.

Vogt still forward. Ball has spent >50% our half this “quarter”.

Get out of her way next time!

Gamble giving her opponent huge space.

13-34

Dani out-CLUNKs three Kangas. We rush it forward, Alexander marks 30 out… and then decides to get “clever”.

Handballs badly to Daria, who fumbles and we lose the goal.

Later, snap point for us.

14-34

Scott has a shot a second before the siren… misses. Was calm and took her time, so should have slotted it.

Scoreboard has ignored the goal ump, but the score is 15-34.

We won the “quarter”.

The Cookson stand has had all its benches removed (but not the steel supports) and presumably they will be replaced shortly.

No video cameras evident.

There might be more Norf supporters here than there will be at Docklands today.

They know which team is worth watching.

6 Norf players warming up at half-time (yes, the teams have left the ground).
