VFLW - Round 10 vs Geelong @ Deakin Uni, 1PM Saturday 8 May 2021

Live scores in the VFL app. It’s a step forward.

In the other game Footscray lead Fark Carlton 23-20 early in the last quarter.

Our forward line was non-existent that quarter, though Nattie and Finning got some touches up the field.

We need to win some clearances, not just rebound again and again.

Belatedly…

Ugle replaces Nanscawen for the first bounce of the second quarter.

THE FIX IS IN.

Two free kicks and Cranston goals.

0-9

Smith can’t kick.

Heil can’t handball.

Eloise (Gardner) marks at the top of their goal square. Phew.

It’s an endless series of marks in their fifty. And finally they convert.

0-15

Ahrens and Nattie off, Barba and Hosking on.

Finning at full forward as the two teams slug it out in the midfield.

Ump pays fifty for our chaser being more than fifty centimetres from her opponent in the protected zone. Somehow they don’t score from it.

Barba roves a stoppage, makes a precise banana kick to a leading Clifford.

On the angle… point.

1-15

Clifford roves her own marking contest, and… point.

2-15

Staying down our end for now.

Ahrens has the chance to goal on the run… side of the boot on the full.

Ball out of bounds, no one on that side. Stepnell has to jump the fence and chase it down, while time ticks on.

Geelong get a three bounce run but the fourth bounce goes awry. That’s why you keep chasing.

Stoppage our end, seconds to go.

Oh Geelong. Over the top all the way then stuff the conversion with five seconds left.

0.2.2 trails 2.5.17 at halftime.

So far they’ve been the best team we’ve played all year.

“Stay up and about” Ugle barks as they come off.
