AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – GEELONG v FREMANTLE

by swans05, posted in Training Drills

As mentioned in the video, Freo are sorely missing Kiara Bowers as she would be personally responsible for 15 – 20 clearances per game on her own with the clearances she does get, and the opposition clearances she stifles through her tackling.

AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: COLLINGWOOD BALL MOVEMENT, GEELONG WING LENGTH, GOLD COAST GOING INSIDE 50 x 2, FREO TOO FAST
