ALW Round 1 vs Jets

[JoyfulPenguin]

Caught up with the replay. Decent if disjointed overall performance and some good showings in the midfield, particuarly Gomez and Martin.

Considering the Jets aren't exactly a power house in the ALW, it is slightly concerning that we got cut apart so often at the back.

But there where good aspects and passages and more time building fitness and cohesion should help.

Trimis vision and passing is above any of our other midfielders

She is only 17. The double sub of her and Wurigumula transformed the game - we were becoming more and more dominant from that point right until the sucker punch goal on the counter.

Sucker punch cane straight after the red. Their right midfield was a dangerous player but Bryson had her covered all game. As soon as Bryson wasn’t there we didn’t adjust.

We have no lost Bryson for the Adelaide game as well.

 

[MrCelery]

The American up front (number ten) has been disappointing. No running, doesn’t get stuck in, doesn’t find space.

She was supposed to be one of our big signings.

Bryson at left back and Gomez and Galic in centre mid have been our best players.

Absolutely agree. Should have been hooked much earlier. For such a tall timber, didn't seem to have much of a clue about attacking the ball. Looked very lazy.

Catching up on the mini match. The ref has had an absolute shocker and Bryson did nothing to get a second yellow. All she did was put herself in front of a team mate who was about to be blind sided by the jets player charging in. Some other dubious yellows too.

The W can be a rough watch at times. They seem to fluctuate between the level I’d expect in low level all age and moments of brilliance but they’ll only get better as more girls have pathways to keep playing longer and at higher levels.

Just slow, was in the CB’s pocket all game. She is 25 and if that’s as fast as she can get then there isn’t much hope. So many through balls for her and she never looked like getting to any of them. The 9 looked so much better and will go well this season if they can get ball to her. Watched the second half of the Derby, so much faster and a better game. Mid table finish will be a fantastic result however I feel it will be a battle to not get the spoon like the Nix did last season in their first campaign.

Completely agree. Ridiculous

+ in the 30 seconds of play leading up to the melee 3 Jets players could have been given yellows based on the ones she handed out earlier in the game

Yeah that’s right. For the very large majority this is a part time gig, they have to juggle work and study and training and try to compete at the best level they can, they aren’t fully professional athletes

On the mini match King's set pieces looked dangerous, how was the rest of her game?

Yeah trimmis 22 was killing them and probably would have won us the game. before the brain snap .
Gomez 6 was my wom .

Note i have no idea who most of the players are .so can we put the number of the player after the name .

I was happy with rassmussen 11 .coming from npl2 .it was a big step up in class and work rate.

She was solid, getting into the feistiness which was good to see as the skipper, defending all her players

Would love to see Rass and the academy girls go well for sure

Would love to see Rass and the academy girls go well for sure

yeah i was surprised not to see more of the girls .
murphy was like a katina gorry in the NPL last season .
perez reading of the game and distribution from the back was quality
murry is only a kid and could have a big future

My only concern for Rasmussen is the same for Rola. Not enough pace for this level in the setup we are playing. Given its early days with some new signings hopefully the coach can adjust.

i like rassmussen 11 for the physicality she gives .
and you need a local hero for all the girls below her to see a path to the W-league

as well as alou and dan .i saw matt hatch to

and didn't that sun look hot

 

[turbo]

They threw out yellows like Oprah in our game and in Nix v City the latter couldn’t even pick up one intentionally. Bit of a stitch up when it leads to suspensions (double yellows or accumulation)

 

[finally retired]

and didn't that sun look hot

Is that your wine?
I'm very pissed off they wouldn't let me use my normal season seats on the shady side of the ground.....

 

[gemkayem]

Yeah I’d be letting the club know that you want to support the girls but you also don’t want to get heat stroke. My worry is that it will actually be detrimental as people will just not turn up if they have to sit in the sun
