    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    I think impact on the game plays, and should play, a bigger role than you seem to think. And while I agree that Zippy was spectacular, she was playing a role that was going to see the Swans put the ball in her hands. And 6 of her 26 possessions were kick ins. Getting 3 goals in the forward...

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    Not a lot really. The reason players aren't going to prioritise tackling and not getting the ball is as Teen Wolf said, its been so inconsistently applied. But if the strictest application we have seen were to become the consistently applied standard, you would have to have rocks in your...

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    I thought the Sunday games looked like they were much less hot on it. To the point the earlier games commentary focussed on it, and they frequently referred to how hot the rule was. But on Sunday, the generally didn't comment, and even commented that they thought under the new rules, it should...

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    Given that the largest part of the discrepancy has been attributed to this discrepancy in the age of the teams, and when they were established, I'm not sure how slowing and spreading out the expansion helps. Yes, there is more talent when they come in, but the incumbent clubs have longer to...

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    If they arent careful, they will end up in a situation where players in congestion will prioritise tackling the player that gets the ball rather than getting the ball themselves. Everyone deciding to do that at once was why the prior opportunity rule was introduced.

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    I have been hearing from many quarters a take that seems to be gaining ground, which I respectfully disagree with. That is the assertion that AFLW expanded too fast, and that League did it better. In my opinion, this is only a view that can be sustained if you completely missed the reason for...

    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    Just in the interest of balance. Still think we will struggle to get out of the middle of the bottom 10. We are definitely a better team than last year, but I suspect most teams will be. What we lack is classy size. Our biggest players are workmanlike rather than game breakers.

    What are the chances of enticing fish back to WA. Her kick ins from FB were possible the best I have seen in AFLW. Just never looks like she is feeling pressure.

    Game Day AFLW Round 1, 2025: West Coast vs Gold Coast

    I am assuming Painter is spending so much time forward, they are trying to build her tank for more mid minutes.

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    Given capacity is only about 6500, and the game was only moved there a day ago, and its GC. Fairly safe prediction.

    Game Day AFLW Round 1, 2025: West Coast vs Gold Coast

    Cleaver looking to have improved. Rowley showing why she was so highly rated. Bushby holding up OK. We have improvement in last years squad, let alone the new players.

    Game Day Round 22, 2025: West Coast vs Adelaide Crows

    For me the most pleasing thing is, Crows turned up the heat, narrowed the gap, and for most of the season in this position, we then get steamrolled. But to hold them, and come back again is pleasing.

    The Crows board is interesting reading. They don't seem to be taking things well.

    It is in the nature of things for shit teams to be shafted. All sports, all countries.

    Game Day Round 22, 2025: West Coast vs Adelaide Crows

    Very pleasantly surprised with what I am seeing. Would have thought we would be 5+ goals down by now.

    West Coasts match report lists Smith as one of our best players yesterday. Maybe they are trying to tell us something?

    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    One difference was, Dogs got on top, but only scored 2 goals. Defending much better and much higher intensity when the games against us than previously. Loosing Johnson will be a problem though. She was taking Rentsch's position in the backline, freeing her up to go further up the ground.

    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    Franklin named as an emergency. Make or break year for her I think. It has gone from, if you drop her, who do you pick to replace her, to, if you pick her, who do you drop. I actually think our forward line needs a player like her, performing well, it's just a case of, can it be her, or do they...

    They also misspelled Schilling, and listed Swan as one of our best players.

    Well, they acknowledged the game is on at least.

    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    I sort of assumed the same, but when you lay it out. If Roberts isnt forward, she has to start in the middle. You would think Lewis will as well, and Drennan was bought in specifically to replace McCarthy in the middle. So I think that is the core of our centre square starting mids. Painter...

    He does have a point. If you kick it and **** it up, you turn it over up the ground, if you handball and **** it up, you turn it over right there.

    Game Day Round 19, 2025: West Coast vs Tasmanian Tigers

    The problem is Ryan is our forward who presents best, and therefore attracts the ball, but he is constantly playing on bigger players, so unless the delivery is perfect, he doesn't win it, and its never perfect.

    Game Day Round 19, 2025: West Coast vs Tasmanian Tigers

    This is why bringing in any number of players from a WAFL team that sucks, will not make the Eagles a better team. Also Q any number of posts of drop x, y, z and bring in more WAFL players, that were previously dropped because they suck. Get games into the youngsters. Playing in games like...

    Game Day Round 19, 2025: West Coast vs Tasmanian Tigers

    We are just being outworked, so many lazy players. Its noticeable how many loose balls, there are 2 Richmond players to it before the first Eagle turns up.

    Eh? Wasnt Hutch, unless he did something else?

    Maric is supposed to be a good distributor, and if he isnt distributing well, his position in the team is questionable.
