Women's Footy AFLW 2024 Rd 5 Roos trounce the Blues

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Training drill out there. We just can't or won't compete.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Unfortunately we don't play a lesser skilled team this season, except for the Suns who we only just beat by a point already.

Pies by the end of the season, but they'll win that as they have something to play for.

We already have two wins though.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

How do you not mark that Celine? Just don't want it enough. No focus on the basics.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Poor Mia Austin, outnumbered constantly. Where are the spare forwards?

 

[drunkill]

Buck should tel dalpos to go and break an ankle or two, at least she'd do something and also she'd be suspended and lose her spot for a few weeks.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Now kick it Celine. Kicking style is scary

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

That's something to build off. Play by play, that's all we can celebrate right now.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Our best player gets injured. Just perfect.

 

[drunkill]

Finally take a mark inside 50, deep inside 50, and convert.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

They have an extra down back, but also have more at the fall of the ball up forward. It has to be all workrate.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Such an impressive and timely intercept from Duursma. I have high hopes for her.

I hope Vickers gets up next week. She's a goer.

Duursma looks pretty good.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Why wouldn't you mark that Keck? That was almost a disaster.

I know Darcy will always have a special place in blues W history but it’s been 2 years since they played even a half decent game. Darcy doesn’t chase, hasn’t kicked a goal in 5 games and only touches it 7 times a game.

The only veterans we’ve been able to hang on to are vescio and pound who are 2 of the players from the early years that the game has moved past very quickly.

Between us and the bulldogs for the title of “foundation club” who got hit the hardest by list changes but excuses mean nothing. We need solutions.

1 goal in 2 games of footy is embarassing

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

So we play 2 games in Round 5 somehow according to the AFL app. See you next Sunday when we travel to play Port. Good news is we only have Brisbane after that.

How long before our good players look to move for success? McKay is the only one we can probably rely on to stick around.

Couldn't give a crap about the AFLW anymore. Lost respect for it

Nothing against the women nor is it to do with them. Glad they have their own league.

But the AFL have treated it like absolute crap with the endless shifting of the schedule. From forcing the women to exert their energy in the summer to now cramming 11 opponents in a 9-10 week timeframe.

Not to mention how they screwed the foundation clubs, having supposed stars and marquee players pushed out (or walk away for little to nothing in return) to prop expansion clubs who couldn't be bothered to pitch a good enough bid for a license to begin with.

Clubs like our own as well as Bulldogs were setback 5-10 years in their development programs and screwed of compensation for mass exodus of players walking out. The league didn't care.

The league expanded far too quick. And for those who claim the quality of the women's footy improved... sure in some areas it has. But results such as these still appear too often and the comp remains too lopsided.

its getting harder to care thats for sure, ill always still watch when i can, but whether we win or lose means less and less to me.

We're feeling it more than most because of our position, but it really is unacceptable management no matter how you slice it.

I can't believe they've gone ahead with these short turn-around scheduling.
