It's one of those topics where the supporters are so sensitive that they can't take any sort of criticism and plenty of people that don't watch the game just come on and say how terrible it is.
Skills and fundamentals 100% need to improve (a huge amount of players can't handball properly) but...
Not sure all the games you're referring to. Against Port NM were 42 points up at half time in the dry. In the 2nd half it poured and they lost both quarters. Game flipped on it's head. Against Rich NM were losing early before fighting back for a hard earned win. I know they played a weaker team...
NM been looking pretty much unbeatable all season except for when it's wet. In horrifying news for NM fans the forecast could be...very wet.
On the flipside I expect Bris probably a better team in good conditions. Also like a run and gun game as well. Had a few losses in inclement weather...
Why would the condensed fixture be an issue? It's done and dusted - if Port is running over teams late it's generally fitness or teams getting a little "tight".
The fact is Hawks should have won reasonably easily. They left the door ajar and Port stormed through. They're playing a very unusual...
Of the all the AFLW positions ruck is probably the best for upcoming talent. Plenty of young players dominating games and showing potential to be outstanding talents.
I reckon she's more like a Cox in that she's another midfielder that picks up heaps of possessions.
Players like Scholz or...
AFLW seem to have a greater amount of good rucks and they don't seem to need the years of development that men do. A lot of them Wales x 2, Scholz, Morphett have burst on the scene good to go.
Stat wise she's the only ruck in the top 20 in coaches votes. Got votes in 9 out of 10 games...
I wouldn't bother. Everyone reading this knows that Strom is the best ruck. Coaches votes in every game bar 1 while dominating every ruckman bar Allan.
He just likes to say something clearly wrong and then argue incessantly that he's right, with nothing to back him up.
I mean would anyone else following AFLW think Strom was "clearly beaten" by the St Kilda rucks?
My goodness did Tilly push someone over after a thrilling final? Are we talking a life ban or just a 14 week suspension. Please.
Rejoice. We got a high quality final and a close game. Now we also have a massive rivalry which is being talked about and will spill out into next year and hopefully...
Why would either team be off their game or only putting the minimum in to win?
It's a high pressure final - a disadvantage for Hawks given Bris finals experience. Hawks should have had a much bigger lead but for goal kicking, but credit to Lions they made the adjustments and imposed their will...
100% correct. Crows depth has steadily been eroded by losing players at the end of the year and not having recruits or draft picks replacing or improving on the players lost. Makes them very vulnerable with a high dependence of their high quality best players. When an important player like Jones...
Don't you all know why the AFL is a much larger sport than AFLW? It's due to gender inequality, the patriarchy, misogyny, sexism and traditional gender norms.

Unfortunately the research is likely from a gender studies...
Pretty safe to say WC would have won this game if Roberts didn't miss her shot at goal in the 1st quarter #scoreboardpressure.
2nd game in a row now...
It's quoted in numerous match reports that if Roberts kicked 2 goals instead of points that miraculously WC goes from 1 goal to 5 and wins the game?
But please show me the quotes saying Roberts cost WC the win.
Who on earth is seriously referring to it as an official position? It's an opinion.
Ham might have some talent but if you want a serious amount of attention then it needs to be translated into performance. She's not close to the top 3 players in her own team.
It's true that if you kick goals...
Ham's averaging 12 possessions a game this season. Got 20 possies once in her career. Anyone saying this at this stage needs their head read.
So let me get this correct if Roberts converts her 2 shots at goal then the scoreboard could feasibly transform from 1 goal 6 to 6 goals 1 and a WC win...
Everyone knows what "face of the league" means.
Who said Ham might be the next face of the league?
How could Ella Roberts cost their team a win when they lost by 4 goals kicking 1 for the game?
