MELBOURNE got itself back on the AFL Women\u2019s winners list last night with a 16 point win over GWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The relief of snapping a four match losing run was clear on the face of Dees coach Mick Stinear<\/em><\/strong> last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, it was just good to see them enjoy that winning feeling,\u201d Stinear said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey’d worked really hard during the week and it was a tough loss last week, but a few little adjustments to game style, few role changes. There was a few more outs, so they had to deal with a bit of adversity again, but they, they just embraced it, and then today we were able to execute our plan for longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “They competed well, right throughout the game, and we just connected a lot better on offense and took more moments and opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crippled by injuries for much of this season, the Dees were playing more like the Melbourne of old last night, but Stinear said that to get them back to that after the disaster of last week was just that \u201cwe just simplified a few things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think you go through a preseason with a plan in mind of how you want to play and how you can maximize your talent, and then obviously things change very quickly and they’ve kind of evolved over the last few weeks,” he said. “And then just at the end of last week, it was, okay, how do we help this group, get the best out of it? How do we help them enjoy their footy, connect a bit more?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
