AFLW: Around The Grounds Rounds 1 - 7

[Wickzki]

Well done Dogs.

They need a new theme song though.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

By crikey the ladder must be awful close.

At a guess we're now second???

 

[mediumsizered]

Should still be first with our percentage above 400%.

 

[ESKIE]

Yep in top 418% crows next 400%

 

[Erko Blue]

Freo vs Dogs was certainly the highest standard game so far.
Dogs are flag favourites for a reason.
However I think our defensive unit can hold our own against any team.
Especially having Davey intercept and rebound back there. She is brilliant, stand out backwoman this round.

 

[ESKIE]

Yeh good insight erko also think we have an outstanding captain in arnell watching her the other night her leadership during the game ( & after too) was impressive

 

[Erko Blue]

Arnell really does look like a captain out there getting around her troops. Some of her long hand passes to open up the corridor were impressive too.

I like our mix.
Disciplined defence.
Tough midfield.
Exiting forwards.

Why oh why did I poke my head into the AFLW thread on the main board?

Full of blokes scared their place in the world is being threatened by a hyped AFL media promoting tokenism via a second rate competition?

Exactly. It's scary how many men are still threatened by women making a bit of progress. Now they're whinging about the "inevitable" day that the AFL mandates "a quota of female players in the men's teams".

funny dudes.

My favourites are.
No one will watch: proved wrong.
Its because it's free. 25k people Took public transport or walked and then lined up, spending upwards of an hour there and back, then took the gamble to take them and their families to watch a game they didn't really care about for what? Because they didn't have to pay $5 dollars a head? Hilarious.
It's because of the media hype. It's been promoted for sure, but isn't that what people who put on events do? Did they want them to keep it a secret.
The standard is great: I'm not sure what they were expecting but with logic used by our own Heatlystand, it's important to realise, that at some point the game quality isn't really what bugging them.

Banking on them strengthening our resolve to support the team and the comp whatever way we can. We'll get a lot of satisfaction watching it grow in number and quality.

They are kinda like manure.

Gees I love that pic !

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Surely they should hand out life memberships to anyone out at Casey this afternoon...committed!

Same here.

And I agree.

 

[Neese]

More than 41,000 people turned out to watch a women’s football match on Adelaide Oval in 1929. Nice

 

[Bluella]

Half time called early at Casey due to lightning.

 

[HyphensBack]

Have enjoyed the games this weekend, the endeavour is great and the alignment with existing clubs create atmosphere and fanaticism.
I think with this much interest I hope the girls actually get paid some decent money to reward their effort.
Would be really disappointed if the girls putting on the spectacle are paid less then the umps

 

[Bluella]

Will play the rest of the first half (3 mins) before the start of the third.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Now they're gunna have a little 3 minute quarter?? to make up the lost time......so it's half time I think.

 

[Neese]

Just listened to this. I adore Susan Alberti

[BlueGum]

Dees don't look to have the goods going forward. They were a bit like that at the practice match too.

I think I'm tipping Dogs and Blues playing in the GF... (but I haven't watched the Crows game)
