Effort still there despite scoreline.
Shouldn't she be playing for Port...it's written all over her!

Ridiculous 50
Oh well, the difference in class was evident throughout. The scoreline doesn't flatter Adelaide at all - it could have been far, far worse when you look at their scoring shots and inside 50 count - but it doesn't reflect the effort that our women put in.
The positive is that they should enter pre-season understanding that, however far they've come in 2023, they have a long way to go to get to the level of the best teams.
Freight train that Scott Gowans referred to turned up.
Despite tonight's sizeable loss, a season full of fantastic and memorable highs for our team.
GO YOU MIGHTY BLOODS!
It's going to be a long time before this competition levels out.
A bit reminiscent of the '22 men's granny, the players gave all they could but just weren't up to the team that demolished them.
Tanya Kennedy in particular looked completely devestated after the loss.
Unlike previous weeks it didn't work for her in the middle, maybe it was no longer a surprise tactic? Or maybe Hatchard and Mariinoff were simply too good to be negated by TK and Sheppard.
Also Chloe spent too long up forward, Gowans was probably trying to compensate for Privitelli's absence but the ball just never got there. It wouldn't have changed the result, but perhaps we could have let our more offensive mids go head to head with their mids earlier, if only as an educational opportunity. I don't think I saw a red helmet in the middle during the game, anyone?
I'm feeling less blue this morning,the woman have provided me so much joy this year. And I feel we have hope for next season, with or without Morph (although with by preference).
Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
She attended a couple of centre bounces very late in the game. Maybe it was an opportunity lost from an educational perspective, but I don't think it would have nudged the dial even a smidgeon.
We've been belted in hit-outs ever since Morphett went down, but haven't faced a team that was able to make such effective use of their hit-out dominance to clear the ball and move it forward relentlessly.
Agree on the result dial smidgeon. Cynthia 2023 (or even a broader list review) may be a topic for the "AFLW list management 2023 thread" that BF brought back to life.
