It’s not just them being very very good; we’re also set to smash our marking record. The vast bulk of these marks are long kicks forward – no stats padding here.
There have possibly been more out-of-bounds frees against us this game than in the rest of the team’s existence.
First team to 50 wins?
0-51 from twenty metre snap while being tackled.
A pack tackle is a free to them; it falls short and Nalder marks in front of the pack.
Half time 0-57 is a bit embarrassing
0 trails 9.3.57 at half-time
At least, unlike Thursday, we’re being beat by a really good team playing really well.
Timekeepers here suck. Time expired on the way back to the middle but they waited till 20:24 to blow the siren.
Moreen nearly kicked goal of the year from the boundary… across the face by a centimetre.
So we’re still zero!
NA dual tackle gives Nanscawen a shot at goal. Right on her range…
… falls short just as my stream goes low-res.
Out and back, and Stepnell marks ten out on the angle. Ball heads straight for the middle then hooks MASSIVELY left to hit the post.
LOL
1-57
Moreen a snap from the pack just goes left.
2-57
Just need to double our score a few more times to get in front!
Thunder had maybe 8 frees from us kicking out of bounds, on full or otherwise.
Suddenly we’re seeing two-three women tackles for us everywhere.
Collier taking marks, laying tackles and winning hard balls this quarter. On fire.
Ponter does the right thing, and kicks it out-on-the-full rather than continue to run towards the goals.
NT doing plenty of McGovern pushes to mark today, ignored by the umps.
Umps feel pity after 13 minutes and give NT a 100 metre penalty so they can make their first score of the quarter. I dunno what for, and neither do the commentators.
2-63
They get the centre clearance and one free later Ponter is shooting for goal. Falls short.
Aaaaand repeat: Bullas her third goal-saving tackle free for the game.
However, momentum has shifted back to NT.
LOL. The free kicks stats here will be epic. NT fail to convert, though.
They get a snap out of a pack twenty out, and it just clears the line.
2-69
Coming up on twenty minutes… someone prod the timekeeper.
20:14
Seriously, WTF?
