We are really feeling the lack of input from Fede Frew. She may need someone to take her aside and try to get her up to speed with the AFL v the VFL cause she seems to struggle with the pace of the other girls
Funny thing is that Alexander is on output our best small forward right now.
(Scott is in better form, but she plays ābiggerā than Alexander.)
Frew has been very uncoā¦ but has also almost kicked 5 goals.
In a debut season, that isnāt a huge issue. We know she has the talent. Itāll work itself out.

Agree wholeheartedly. Iām a fan but there is no doubt she is just off the pace.

Iād be holding back on Fede comments at this stage.
From my view, the quality of ball into the forward 50 has not been to the standard/speed of the VFLW.
When I saw this dinky little kicks up the wing in the 3rd quarter, I was thinking āthis is going to give our crumbers bugger all chance to do somethingā.

Took the wife and girls (x3) to their first AFLW game today (I have worked at heaps of them, theyād never been). I have to say how much better it is having a team to follow now, and bought the eldest her first guernsey. She has never shown much interest in the AFL, she liked Walla and Joe D (and eventually threw away his badge when he left haha) but mainly liked them coz I shouted their names a lot over the years. She hadnāt wanted to go to an AFL game the last 4-5 years, but thank goodness for AFLW, we had a great day! Would have been even better with a win, but so nice having a vested interest now.

Iām proud of what we showed in the last quarter today. Started well, finished well. Fair bit to work out in between. Caught a fair bit with no one ahead of the footy (as mentioned Bonnie taking a lot of grabs down the line with no one ahead of her). Should have made something of those repeat inside 50s after Madsā goal. Hope Doonan isnāt beating herself up too much, she worked bloody hard to even get in those scoring positions. Ground level forwards need to generally be a bit cleaner, defenders need to hold their composure more. We wonāt have to worry about the ruck issue as much next week but back to the grindstone against Richmond with Seymour and Kelly.

Wheelchair finals donāt start till next Sunday, so we lost the weekend.
Hereās another ladder, with us second.
Score and fantasy points are certainly not directly correlated, though! We are effecient.
And despite all that shes created chances but looks like she may be trying too hard atm. I feel like itāll happen for her in a big way fairly soon.
The way we can kick goals in a hurryā¦ especially in this comp we wonāt be out of many games this year

Hmm, challenging, but I like a challenge. I had @nackers drop by the hill and this coincided with our fight back. Might need a few more to help out.

I blame it all on @CJohns. I went along to catch up with him but he couldnāt make it.
His support would have got us over the line.

Yes it seems Fatherās Day in the end did not allow me permission to go.
Coaches agree with me on BOG and the top three Bombers.
10 Breann Moody (CARL) = 5+5
