Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[FootySmartSimpson]

The AFL program will resume on Thursday, January 9, with the club officially re-opening on Monday, January 13.

Thank f*ck! The discussion in here has been - and I say this to no posters in particular - a swamp.

You could pretty much say that any parallel business innovation without the revenue of the original, established concept would fail.

Like Supermarkets and Petrol stations?

Or apple computers and Iphones?

Sony and Sony Playstation?

The difference is, the womens league will always be reliant on the AFL. It will never be able to stand on its own two legs.

Some people would say the same about our entire club.

Yeh and we are propping up womens footy.. make it make sense

Some would (rightfully) say the North AFLW team is massively propping up North Melbourne as a whole. Our relevance outside the rusted-on is and has been for 25 years been not existent.

Who says that? You? Sonja? Pff have a spell. The womens team is legitimately costing us 2 senior team coaches. We have 1 current vacancy and we have one work experience kid that plays AFLW as the other.

We are behind the 8 ball straight up before the season even starts

5 bottom 2 finishes (2 spoons) vs multiple prelims and a flag seem to say otherwise.

It's okay to have an opinion and it's okay to be wrong. But when you have been presented with empirical evidence on multiple occasions proving your claims incontrovertibly false and you continue to present the same false arguments, then it becomes clear that you are nothing more than a Temu Teffy.

 

[William Caresser]

Have the people who run the AFL had, in laymen's terms, their wages frozen?

Doubt it!

Carnival flags dont count.

im not wrong, there has been no empirical evidence.

Fact:

we are a coach short in the soft cap.

We have an apprentice work experience kid as a coach in the senior team from the AFLW.

And stop the name calling.

 

[ferball]

Doubt it!

Exactly. They've gone up by a third.

I say this with concern, what the f*ck is your problem with the women’s team, premiership? Or is it just women?

 

[Chip Scab1]

So many micro aggressions and superiority assertions in this.

I invite you to explore respect for anothers right to freedom of will, or the tolerance of differing opinion.

My feelings are that this was divisive, accusatory, judgemental and very damaging to positive chakra flow in the 9th house.

Might I also invite you to reflect on adjectives rather than pronouns. There are many harmonic joys if you find resonance with kindness, acceptance, tolerance and understanding.

He's another getting upset at people calling the AFLW team "The Girls", like it's calling them Tarts or something.

He's about 5'6.

Thanks, I never pictured him as being so short... I feel very stupid.

Its not a serious competition. Its far too premature. There isn’t enough talent to stretch across 18 teams. About 30% of the comp can be considered “elite”. It takes genuine resources away from our team (coaching staff on point), its a drain on the league. It shouldn’t be a national comp yet, probably should still be a state level league.

Dont start with this YoU mUsT hAtE wOmEn shit.

Its round robin carnival footy shit.

You can think whatever you want. But it’s not going away. It is (rightfully) growing, getting better and scores in game are increasing dramatically.

Why not get behind them? We were the first team in Aussie Rules history to go undefeated. Are you a masochist?

first team in Aussie Rules history to go undefeated? … thats factually incorrect.

First team in AFLW to go undefeated. Theres been many Aussie Rules teams that have been premiers and champions undefeated

Well, no.

The ‘29 Pies team won 18 H&A matches, lost a semi, won the flag.

The 2000 Dons team lost the rnd 22 game won all finals and the flag.

I would like to know which teams have gone undefeated?

I’m always keen to learn new trivia. Could you please list them?

Very funny. And disingenuous.

Please have a good night.

Its not. WRFL div 1 aint no league to scoff at. And to be perfectly honest, I’d rather pay to watch that then AFLW. Better quality, easier to watch and more professional.
