Well worked goal and it is the local girl who scored!

Good subs by Husband.

 

[MrCelery]

Wow! Excellent goal. Great team effort!

 

[gemkayem]

That’s a disgraceful bit of refereeing

 

[BrisRecky]

and the ref was doing so well....the liney pulled up the shin kick but no card even though the mariner had to go for treatment , the nix chick gets cuddled and the mariner gets a yellow...f**k right off

 

[gemkayem]

Yes! Well played girls, earned that win and deserved it. Great subs again by Em

Yeah just stupid, glad we didn’t suffer a goal because of it

 

[Wombat]

Well played ladies. It wasn't pretty at times but it was very gutsy. This 2nd string keeper is bloody good.

Ref was typical A league edjit.

 

[Rising Sun]

This 2nd string keeper is bloody good

Technically the 3rd string. She was only signed a couple of days before the first game when Sarah Langman went down injured in training. But she has been bloody brilliant and probably unlucky that she is going to lose her spot as soon as Casey Dumont is fit

Hard fought but deserved win.The girls always looked more likely but final shot or pass was lacking.The movement leading to the goal was excellent.

Newbon is a very safe keeper -her positioning is good and her distribution is also good.

 

[Wombat]

Imagine if Noah Smith had tried to clear the ball properly like these ladies. Instead of his pathetic 2 yd cut out......our boys can and will learn alot from these girls.
Also we have NEVER had this depth in Goalkeeping in the mens.

Top job ladies.

Very impressed with Husband’s coaching in the second half. Tweaked a couple of things and made some timely subs.

My wife made the comment that she our players had a thoughtful style of play with thinking players, especially in the midfield. She was one hundred percent correct. I replied that the style of play is reflective of the style of coaching, tactics and player selection.

 

[marinermick]

As a side I met Jazmin’s Wardlow’s husband tonight. Lovely guy. Very tall. I asked if he plays and he said basketball. They both met in college where they had scholarships. I asked him if he has found a basketball team and he said the CC Crusaders have offered him a contract. Massive decision to leave basketball in the States and come and support your partner in Australia.

 

[Ironbark]

Great team goal and stellar finish by Raz. She was the keepers fingertips from scoring last week so hopefully it's about to become a habit!

 

[Kilsin]

It’s because the back of the back of our home kit I believe

It annoys me more than it should that the home kit is yellow when the players are facing you and navy when they are facing away. Which is also why we can't wear it against Nix (or scum) because front clashes with their home kit and back clashes with the away.

Isn't that a "them" problem though?
It's our home game, we should be able to wear our home kit. This is why teams have a third kit!

or instead of this stupid "home" and "away" kit idea, have a "main" (or whatever... something you use all the time) and a "clash" for only when there is a clash! I never understood this "home" and "away" kit bs

It’s an us problem. You can’t expect other teams to invest in an extra kit because we want to have light and dark on the same kit. It’s not the smartest design.

Like every other league?
Good idea.

Away strip again at home …what the actual f**k Liberty A League?

Had some mates attend their first Liberty League game yesterday. Didn’t realise we weren’t playing in yellow until we scored. ?

Had my family there watching. Will struggle to get them there again being forced to sit in the sun. Even though it was later it’s still uncomfortable. Having said that the kids that were down the front singing all second half were fantastic. Could hear them clearly and helped the atmosphere.

Lowlight was the lack of decision on the Wardlow foul. Clear knock to the knee forcing her off the field and no action taken. Apparently she’s hyperextended it. Hopefully not too serious.

The goal was really good. I do fear for our goal scoring potential though. Trimis I really like but she has the shot power and technique of a small child. #10 scored last week but in general play just isn’t enough of a threat imo.

All in all a solid performance from the girls though
