VFLW - Round 1 vs Saints @ The Hangar, 10:30am Sunday 28 February 2021 - free entry

We fail to clear fifty and an eventual snap from the pocket flies through.

2-15

One of our defenders was infringed upon fifty metres in front of the ball (didn’t see it). Thanks Sandy.

CBomb and Caruso tackle and smother respectively to kill an attack.

Hosking murders us with an inbound pass. Intercepted and they strike deep and a very nice mark running with the ball is taken by them.

2-21, eek

Ugle in the middle, replaced Barba.

She immediately makes a nice clearance and it ends in a Clifford mark forty out.

Falls short, but Felicity Theodore is then hit high, deep in the pocket.

Gets the free, but just misses the shot at goal.

3-22

There does not appear to be a “two players in the fifty at throw-ins” rule this year. Not that it was well enforced previously.

3-22 as we bomb long to their beanpoles.

Quigley marks at 50, chips to Barba perhaps 5 metres closer in. Ball to top of the square and a free to a beanpole is paid because (apparently) her team mate pushed her in the back.

Coast to coast long kicks and marks, and goal.

3-28

We clear from the centre bounce, Clifford collects and passes to a strong Quigley mark. Kick on goal falls short, rebounds sees Barba beat two Saints (this was awesome, she was utterly out of position and had zero chance) and centre to Stepnell.

Miss.

4-28

Coast to coast again. A dribbling kick from the flank curves straight through.

4-34

We’ve improved the last ten minutes but can’t convert.

We get a fifty and spear it straight to a solo beanpole in the goal square.

FFS.

And again!

Ugle has been good on the ball. CBomb moved forward.

Clifford kicks to the top of the square where one of their beanpoles waits and marks.

This is getting silly.

Ugle’s kicking is precise.

0.4.4 trails 5.4.34 at half time.

We had ten very legit chances to score that quarter, and our talls were leading and marking well. Blew all of those chances.

Barba not on the ground at the bounce. Why?

Ump pays holding the ball against us. The Saint had it, and it wasn’t being contested.

Pressure and they kick it out on the full. No score from that, but Federica Frew bombs it forward again and Quigley wrestles and gets a toe to it to goal!

10-34
