Lowther on the Tense Finish

It was hard to watch, really exciting footy to watch but I thought what we had done prior to that last 20 minutes of the game was really positive.

It was enough to give us that confidence in the last quarter that we were doing things right.

Full credit to the Swans with that surge, they used the breeze really well, tried a few little tricks and they played their need to score scenarios really well.

Our girls defended it well towards the end and did enough, which I am really proud of. 

Lowther on the Team's Focus 

I think for us it was about regaining the way we play our game, to a level that is required to win games.

We have been in games up to our necks, but just haven't got across the line.

The aim for today was to win and we move onto Richmond next week, that will be the same aim.

Whatever happens off the back of that is out of our control, but that is what we want to get from the rest of the season and that is to improve our footy. 

Lowther on the Forward Unit

We have got a bit of a different mix up front too with Chloe Scheer being out, so it is a little bit different than what we are used to.

But the fact that players like Shelley Scott can compete from the start, Jackie Parry had a super game and we threw her in defence to support when the heat was on late in the game, she stood up for us.

We are getting looks, Kate Kenny is getting some looks, Aishling Moloney continues to get looks up front so it is really positive that we are getting that.

If we can score a goal every now and again, that might help everyone's heart rates. 

Lowther on the Takeaways from Sydney

We had the ball going the right way, that forward half pressure and shots on goal is what we were after.

Yes kicking straight will win games by better margins, but the fact that our girls were playing the game in our front half was another positive to take out.
