AFLW Round 9: Sydney Swans v Fremantle 3.10pm AEDT Sat 22 Oct 2022 Henson Park

Re coaching, apparently Scott Gowans missed the match due to illness so senior assistant Baker Denneman took over for the day. Nick Davis was also assisting.

From today’s match report:

"We went out and executed the game plan we wanted to, it was just unfortunate Freo were too good today ... I think it was just lapses in concentration for us and the ability to stay focussed for the four quarters, that's something we'll continue to work on." - Sydney senior assistant coach Baker Denneman



BEST

Sydney: Ham, Smith, Hurley, Szigeti

Fremantle: Miller, Bowers, Webb, Runnalls

I also noticed Harley was on the boundary line giving instructions.

I really like Morphett.
Just my sort of ruck - very impressed, as you can see.

Privitelli's mark in the third (I think) was a cracker too.

Harley is a class act, so fortunate to have him at the club.

Yes, I was a bit surprised that Morphett wasn't listed as one of our best. When our midfield was going well in the clearances, I thought it largely stemmed from the physical work that Morphett was doing in the ruck. And since she doesn't turn 19 until next month, there's every chance that she'll gradually develop into a genuine star.

That one-handed, ‘don’t mess with me’, fend-off of Antonio was a thing of beauty!

Sofia Hurley has been nominated for the AFLW Rising Star award following the Freo match in which she had 15 disposals, four clearances, three tackles and kicked a goal.

Great news as we had hoped Sofia might get nominated last week when she also played an outstanding game. She was named in the AFLW Team of the Week after that match.

Hurley is the second Swans nominee for this award following Montana Ham in Round 4.
