QUARTER TWO
- 2:00 Scar pinged for (safe) slinging tackle, Scar don’t care.
- A couple times early this quarter we see Abbey just drop the nitro and burn out of trouble.
- 3:00 I like a broadcast with better crowd audio. A bunch of yobbos go BALL for the Albecht rundown tackle. Luckily for them, it fell onto a foot.
- Then an Ava tackle, then Plummer just throwing her body into McCarthy and doubling up with a ground-and-pound tackle. Love it.
- 4:30 The yobbos finally get their BALL rewarded. Clueless FCer had no idea it was coming from Bernardi, who was clearly watching the ump and entered the no-longer protected zone at pace from behind.
- Perfect pass to Ava lead, runs hard towards goal and space and Ava chips it to her in range. Clunky kick just gets over the pack for the goal.
- 8:10 Turnover due to Harrison pressure, and three perfect kicks tp leading marks: Robinson to Tia to Abbey to Bernardi.
- Bernardi does the slide-to-the-side run-in that allows her to kick basically at the level of the mark, as per her set shot last week. Clearly a deliberate ploy.
- 9:30 Molan had a few botches in this game, but geez this intercept and slick handball off was nice. And that leads to Abbey’s first EFC goal. Pure class.
- Powerhouse Hobbs in for her first centre attendance. A quiet game for her, mostly forward.
- 11:55 for the ball saying FARK YOU to Fark Carlton. What a magnificent bounce that was to not go through for a goal… or any score, actually.
- 14:40 Madison “sticky fingers” Ibrahim plucks the ball from the sky.
- Nice drive-through off-the-ball bump by 57 Evie Lee on Mifsud.
- Cherie continues to coach from the bench.
- 16:05 Melnika almost rips the jumper off the FCFCer… for a moment it was fully pulled over the head.
- 16:30 Abbey on the aggro pills: “I’m going to the ball, and if you get in my way it’s your fault!"
- 17:50 the umps were really not too keen on paying HTB… to be fair, it was pretty consistently stingy.
- 18:35 nice aggression from Abbey and Richo to get Albrecht the chance. She launches from outside fifty rather than do a dab to the leading Hobbs.
- 19:20 StickyFingers at it again, and she launches past her opponent to kick long and… hit the inside of the padding on the goal post. Damn it.
