VFLW - non-Essendon matches

So it’s not likely, but we would like Sandy to beat Norf today, so we play the Hawks instead of the Pies.

It’s… not likely.

Norf lead 22-13 at halftime, which is a lot better than I expected.

Tierney two goals; Livingstone sneaking forward with one!

Sandy can finish third if they win. Norf can’t drop from top of the ladder. Barrack for incentive.

Stats are similar, except for these minor deviations:

  • Sandy just behind on hit-outs but smashing the clearances 13-7
  • Norf regardless lead inside fifties 21-12.

Suggests Norf have scope to blow this out in the second half…

Classic Dojiok. She gets a free 15m our from goal, doesn’t believe it is hers, and then the kick barely scrapes through for a point.

Tierney then marks 15m out and freaks out, plays on, and fails to score :zany_face:

Still 13-36 the wrong way, though, with 28 minutes left.

Stop trying to make Sandy happen. It’s not going to happen.

Clifford at FB.

At quarter time Darebin are 58 points behind what they need to dislodge us from finals :white_check_mark:

Note the required margin jumps to 61 when Geelong gets to 16 points.

Cats go ping-ping-ping and lead 11-10 in the first two minutes of the second quarter.

LOCK IT IN.

We’re playing the Pies in week one of the finals.

Umps immediately pay back-to-back fifties to Darebin so DeMatteeeeeeeeooooooooooooo can goal.

17-16

23-16 at halftime.

Congrats to the Cats, who lost their first 8 games, for really showing up in the run home. Win this and they are finishing with a 3/6 sequence, and NOT LAST (Casey to be the wooden spooner despite stealing two wins via AFLW squads).

We played the Cats in the pre-season and early on, and they clearly did not have the players either time – but geez they had a RHG.

Stream has fallen over… but Darebin need to kick 10 goals straight in the next 15 minutes.

These umps are anti-interventionists.

Cats up by 1 point with 3 minutes left.

2 points with 2:20 left

Cat Morrisey been everywhere: 24 disposals, 9 tackles, and a goal.

CATS WIN!

Well deserved.




Suck ■■■■, Casey.

Pies potentially lose LilyRoseWill from this week onwards.

However, it was announced on Wednesday that Breed has been moved to the inactive list and replaced by Lily-Rose Williamson from the club’s VFL program.

Pies are our opponent if we and Norf win.

Norf: no changes.

Here’s the rest of the season:

  • Pies beat Hawks, and get the week off before the GF
  • Norf beat Willy
  • Norf beat Hawks
  • Norf better ■■■■■■■ beat the Pies.

Hawks have dominated their first 12.5 minutes of the game… for almost nothing. They lead 1-0, and are getting murdered by the umps refusing to pay any frees.

Ha, immediately after I post that Matin gets a free… and kicks it out on the full.

Useless bastards!

Carris-Brett is limping badly, on the wrong wing from the interchange. She’s not going to kick a goal just before quarter time…

Pies lead 2-1 with 1.5 minutes to go.
