It's been a disappointing year for both teams in 2023 with even their respective coaches having their moment's publicly which never helps when you're losing heavily.
That being said I picked the Dogs to get the win as I just couldn't see Ellie Blackburn not getting them over the line - and she did!
Here's 6 clips from the game and it's all about the Dogs.
The first clip looks at Rocky Cranston just not being able to nail her positioning as a free and open option inside 50, failing to make the pass to her far too good to pass up even though it was a 90 - 100% option.
Next is a smart play from Blackburn where a lot of other AFLW players have failed over the last few seasons.
Following that is showing that if you're the kicker in a closed play situation, then off of a short pass you can be the most forgotten and important player on the ground at the same time, and easily able to make up an outnumber advantage out of thin air.
The forth clip is again a smart recognition play from the Dogs, this time from Georgostathis realising she's about to become the +1 and taking full advantage of it.
All year I've been banging on about a lack of hit up leads from the forwards at the right time and to the right spot but Sarah Hartwig nails it here.
Lastly we see a bit of vision and then talk about hoe context can make some kick-to options more appealing then others, even if from our vantage point it clearly looks like the easier and most open option, and some of the reasons around that.
