I wouldnt call GWS tough...got a few players who dont like it rough and disappear when it is, no doubting their skills but id be making it as contested as possible and picking players who excel in that area. Blues by 23 points....Maybe Pitto will be our enforcer?

Anyway, we were just not quite good enough on the day to win another tight one. We definitely will need to smarten up for GWS. Hopefully we will but I'm a bit apprehensive at this stage.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Congratulations Crippa & Monique
From what Crippa was saying about definitely playing but flying to Adelaide a day after the rest of the team, baby Koda’s arrival was carefully planned.Hopefully but I won't be there to witness it. I'll have to be happy with just watching her father raising the cup in the 20s. 😎
Mum and bub are fine and that’s great!
I wonder if Koda Cripps will be running around with our AFLW team in the 2040s 🙂

I thought Elijah Hollands had a pretty solid first hit out. He had 22 touches, 6 marks, 5 tackles, 2 clearances and a goal. I liked it.
A good debut and I thought he got better as the game went on and he settled in more.

But Weiters enables rebounding from defence by his individual defensive efforts, his defensive generalship, his ability to be a target when we get possession and his creative use of the ball. Weiters may not run and carry himself but he enables his teammates to run and carry.In short, the whole is the sum of its parts. The best overall balance is what is most important over journey.
There's no point having an attacking defender if he can't beat his opponent and Kemp will struggle against Larkey or Coleman-Jones and Treacy or Amiss the following round.

I'd be shocked if Binns were to be selected ahead of Holland or Cottrell, both of whom have shown much more.So would I. I think Cunners maybe will miss out.

Why do we lose run and creativity with Young and Weitering playing together?Any good defence must have aerial stopping power and Weiters and Young are our best available combo to get that imo, especially when we face the bigger/taller opposition forwards. Agree, that leaves plenty of scope to provide the additional run and creativity we need, depending on form and availability.
Yes, we have to lose one of our medium defenders (most likely Kemp as he is playing as the second key defender) but we still have an abundance of run and creativity with those that remain. Weitering is the key to our defensive run and creativity. He may not do much running but his positioning and ball use creates opportunities; his kick across the ground to Hollands in the Melbourne game is a prime example.
I think that a backline of Weitering, Young, McGovern, Newman, Saad, Williams and Kemp/Boyd has more run and creativity than a backline of Young, McGovern, Newman, Saad, Williams, Kemp and Boyd. It would also be a stronger defence with the ability to counter two genuine key forwards.
