I think the Roos will be too strong and win today.

Lose this game and the Pies may still hang on to 6th spot based on %.
But with games against the Bulldogs (home) and Crows (away) coming up, they need to find consistent form to have any chance in finals.

Wow. Lucky to get a goal at the end of the first half. Otherwise totally outplayed. But more than that there seemed to be no desire by the players. Molloy in particular. Zero possessions.

Season over.

Half time:

Roos 4.2.26 leading Pies 1.2.8

Goal to Amelia Velardo.
Bonnici and Lambert leading possession getters for the Pies.

Leading clearances but once again struggled to get the ball inside 50.

Just no system. Grab ball - kick it. But no game plan. Very much a Buckley style. North on the other hand set up well.

North just kicked the sealer with 2 minutes to go in the third.

Geez these games fly by. Just 60 minutes of actual footy. A basketball game.

BTW is Sam Lane the most annoying women's football commentator going around?

Not a great day. I was watching the gold medal hockey game between Finland and ROC (Russia)... What I saw from this AFLW game wasn't good.

Disappointing result.

Sounds like 3 consecutive weeks of travel took its toll.
Once Roos got that quick start Pies couldn't get back into the game.

Position in the top six hanging by a thread, hopefully they can put in a better performance against the Dogs.
