Agree, plus a lot more.Nah, I cringe when Jonno Brown, Luke Darcy and a few others speak.
Thanks for your contribution this year it's been a pleasure![]()
I'm glad the small role I played on here is appreciated; the real thanks should go to the girls and coaches though. It's been a pretty remarkable journey from amateur footy players to a cohesive team and they really have developed their own passion and identity under the Collingwood umbrella. I certainly found myself more engaged than I initially imagined when the licence was announced and that's 100% to do with the players, their journey and dedication to the fans and the game.Commiserations to our girls. Tough beat. Hopefully we can come back better next year.
Big round of applause for barrackers for his (or her?) efforts in chronicling this inaugural AFLW Collingwood season here for us, sometimes against the tide. Much appreciated, B. Thank you for your efforts. The ruby was well earned...

I expected nothing lesss Dave.I could not think anything more Boring then Watching Cars go Around a Circuit 70 odd times

We F1 fans are a class above after all
Being somewhat judgemental there TDWell Snobs only follow F1
1,3 - is all too common for VFL watchers, at the very least we need some shade sails as ground only has a small slither of shade available, which is on the glasshouse side. Hopefully we see some games at Vic Park next season.Sorry to be that guy (and this is not as knock on AFLW - i love it) but off the field our club is hopeless.
Well done to the girls on the field. Really exciting to watch and their play improved across the season. Keen to see what they can do next year.
They are all smallish things but point to just wanting a team in the AFLW without caring about it. We have been so unprofessional in many areas the last few years but to come across as arrogant and not caring about this comp whilst wanting the benefits, just smells and paints our club in a poor way.
Surely if we are to have a women's team then we need to be professional about it....at least pretend we care.
1) My kids are burnt - no matter how often you re- apply or how big your hat is, if their is no shade then people get burnt. We don't have a home ground at the moment to service our team. The fact that our home game got moved should have been enough to get this right when we finally played there. Spend some money for some cover in the outer like we actually care about this competition -- it is a summer comp, act like we know it is.
2) Not being allowed to have a kick on the ground. Heaps of girls with footy's (including mine) and nowhere to kick them. What a great decision that was. I get maybe before the game and half time when the auskickers were on but after the game? Are we so tight when it comes to getting the girls excited that we won't spend some money on wages across the bar or on security for an hour after the game?
3) Score board - if you can call it that. Seemed as though the person that was selling the over priced food, was also responsible for updating the scores. At one stage 3 separate goals were kicked and the scores hadn't been changed. Pathetic, unprofessional, non caring attitude.
4) Ground announcer - Boring. How about telling us who kicked a goal in an excited voice and get the place pumping rather than announcements no one is interested in and delivering them as though you have been asked to leave the bar to do it.
5) Speakers were used to play music when we kicked a goal...oh except only sometimes. Don't do it at all rather than every know and again. Must have been the guy serving, and doing the score board that also had to do the music. Unprofessional, pathetic, embarrassing.
6) Geelong have a junior girls academy that my daughter will go to - they don't even have a team in the competition but they are setting it up properly. I am pretty sure we don't and once again an example of a don't care attitude to this team.
Terrible experience at the ground...no more money from me to the club this year, zilch..zero.
Well done to the girls really enjoyed watching them for the year.

Don't think the Cats are doing it without The ulterior motive.

Not sure about playing Dave as it looks a great ground to train and play on - greta condition. Definitely not one we can hang our hat on as a home ground when showcasing our club to spectators, both Pies and opposition. Make it look like we care about the AFLW with our attitude to the surroundings and the game day experience.Holden Center is a Shit Place to Play Games at

Anyway I have whinged enough about today and our clubs attitude to the competition. Time for me to move on.
Feedback helps the club get better
This is probably a contentious one. A lot of the purists would probably not like any music, but hey, if it gets the kids boogying and helps keep them entertained then that's gotta be a good thing!
I think we've teamed up with Oakleigh Chargers to provide the girls academy.
There was some article about it a few weeks ago.
Nevertheless, if you're a member with kids and the club hasn't told you about it ... then that would seem to be a bit of a breakdown in communication.
Sincere question: how would you have felt about that experience if we had won?
+1
Because we ain't an "expansion" team.Well of course..why aren't we?
barrackers Robroy22 thanks for the feedback. As i said i think AFLW will be awesome - to be around at its inception is exciting.
I just think our club could be doing so much better (off field) and some of that seems to come from attitude compared to how some of the other clubs and regions are going about it. Hope we improve, but my personal experience today was the club I love, lacking care and professionalism.
