VFLW - Round 13 vs Port @ Port, 11:30am Sun 25 June 2023

Hawks will be hoping the form from last week continues, and Willy beat the Saints. It’s actually plausible the Saints finish seventh…

Hawks have dodged the bullet and kicked a fourth goal. No 3.9.27 for you!

Willy lead 16-0 at quarter time (but don’t get excited yet, they had a substantial wind advantage).

Norf lead Darebin 21-0 at quarter time, and given it’s at east-west Arden Street, that has zero to do with any wind and more about Norf being best in the league right now*, and Darebin being… not.


*but not after next week, when they fail to make finals :rofl:

It takes a minute for the Saints to score with the wind (and that included a decent delay when a ball bounced over the fence onto the road).

Willy have burnt 8 minutes and conceded just that 1 point. Saints keep bombing long to Willy marks.

Finally they kick to one of their own talls… and Kershaw misses.

16-2 Willy continue to disrupt the league.

Winnie Laing sneaks away to somehow mark uncontested twenty out, and converts.

8-16 Saints lag.

43 Cameron (league-leading goal kicker) is taking marks forward but making nothing from them.

GTFO! What a bounce, over four players, for a Willy goal.

Then one of the umps changes their mind. Touched. Booooooo.

18-8 may not be enough come the last quarter. Rain has stopped, sun is out.

Justice. Clumsy tackle by the Saints at the top of the goal square is punished.

And this one counts!

24-8 Willy lead, with 6 minutes before the wind advantage is conceded.

Willy fluff their last run forward, and lead 3.7.25 to 1.2.8 at the final break.

Tayla Kearns just gets a set shot over the pack.

14-25 the Saints chase not coming seventh.

Willy just got a 70 metre penalty :crazy_face:

And then a 54m penalty – from a couple metres behind the centre square to in front of it. Umps are mathematically challenged.

Ruh-roh.

Saints goal… and this time when the umps confer they are allowed to keep it!

20-25 with 7 minutes for the Saints to win it.

2 minutes left, stoppage at the top of the Saints goal square.

Rushed, 21-25

Not getting a draw now.

Saints miss a snap with 30 seconds left… throw-in.

Willy win!

Top spot at the end of the H&A season is now absolutely ours to claim by beating Port tomorrow.
