Semi Final Richmond Vs North Melbourne
- Thread starter Sammy Cougar
- Start date
As is marking infringements, blocking pushing etc. Granted they have out marked us, but sheesh.......have a look umpire!
How many uncontested marks has north taken? a gazillion?
Ferguson as the coach should've addressed the chip passing that's allowed north to gain territory way too easily.

These morons learn that our girls start playing chaos and so start setting their views on how the men cop frees against.
It may have been touched, but their defender was also allowed to grab Brennan around the head. Wheres the free flogs???
Doesn't really matter considering the GF will be Paddle Pops and Boringbourne.
Good lesson for the girls....including what to expect from Corn Flakes qualified flogs.

The one thing the last 2 weeks show us, is what we need to improve upon to create a list that will challenge for a flag. We aren't far off but it has highlighted which players need to improve or be moved on. I think this is a classic case of a game where you assess the bottom 6's. Our bottom 6 have been well beaten by Norths bottom 6. Its also highlighted that you need forwards in your F50. Someone mentioned Cox earlier and she has been fine, but doesn't appear to be a natural forward and I still don't know what Reid is, after 3 seasons surely we should be seeing more from her by now.
I hope we use these last 2 games to really assess where we need to improve, we have a couple coming back from injury (Cordner will go straight back into our defence) but also identifying where we can get the best out of our girls. For example, I'd love to see Shevlin on a wing, I think she could really add a lot both offensively and defensively off a wing.

We've lost both the last 2 weeks in the same way. Smashed in the 2nd quarter, and particularly in the air throughout the game. We need to improve our outside run and ball movement.
BTW looks from the way they just went round Wakefield, that she won't play on next year.

More skills work on reading the bounce of the ball. Too many running over the top and past the ball.
Marking is still by and large poor.
Defensive punching of the ball...seems to never be directed to a Tiger.

Reid and Molan are incredibly disappointing first round draft selections imo. Neither of them have any athletic competence about them at all and they’re both on the timid side as well. At the very least, you’ve got to be able to run properly don’t you ? Those two can’t. They’re athletically incompetent. It’s cringeworthy watching them both run and move.
Time to admit the mistakes, cut our losses and move both on. Molan at the least. Reid after 2 seasons might be tradeable. Molan won’t be.
Few good pick ups this year eg Egan, Sheerin etc but let’s clear space where the plodders are concerned.

If Molan is on our list for next season I will be shocked. She's awful and has slowly been moved out of the team. I couldn't even name 1 good quality she provides to the team. I think from a midfield perspective we need to upgrade the likes of McDonald, I like Meg and she works bloody hard, but we just can't continue to carry a mid that gets 3 or 4 disposals a game. We need a collective improvement, our stars won't take us much further without that lower core jumping up. We saw the same thing with the mens team, our stars could get us enough wins to be around the finals, but it was when that undercore stepped up and played their part as well as allowing the stars to do their thing that we maaged to push on.
Wel said Reds. Molan is a spud so we know that. Reid, we were hopeful as a first-rounder. She literally is so timid it annoys the *smile* out of me. And her running style is so awkward, Terrible draft selection.
