Women's Footy AFLW Fremantle - 2020 #1 Team - Season Cancelled

[wayToGo_]

Roxy was desperate to go to Freo. She was in both academies (as quite a few of the girls were) but didn’t enjoy it at West Coast and told her East Freo teammates that she hoped Freo would use their first pick on her.

That's exactly the same thing I heard from one of her good mates. I've also heard there has been a fair bit of banter within her group of family and friends because there is quite a mix of Freo and WC supporters

Women's footy is in a place where a close good game is more important than who wins.

I would take a close Freo win in an exciting good quality game over a big WC win in a low quality snooze fest.

The league has been cursed by having some of the most highly publicised and high profile games also be some of the worst.

I swear that some of the nuffies who responded negatively to the 1-goal-each game on the weekend didn't actually tune in ... otherwise they would have noticed the conditions the match was played in.

Duffy being named Player of the Week is well deserved, had a great game and hopefully se continues to have amazing quality games like that in the future.

Did you see this article by Brandon Jack, who attended the game. One of the best responses to the haters I have seen.

That was going to be my question... seriously - why all the conjecture that Roxy is after a potential move to WC. I know she was in their academy but so were a lot of WA players. Was she a die-hard weags supporter pre-draft? Where is it coming from? She looked pretty happy with her Freo guernsey after her first goal today. I’ve been quite perplexed by all the ‘will she/won’t she’ stuff going on.

nah, I'm Freo through and through but have someone at WC so currently a Frweagle. But it means I have seen a lot of both girls clubs and can take my purple glasses off to compare.

Yes we had a better application and program set up whereas WC I think just assumed they would be given the first WA license - you can tell that by the shock they showed when they didn't (see doco last Sat). But after that Freo certainly didn't throw much money or focus on the girls for a few years and it showed. Much better now but most have no idea how much WC is throwing at this new team. WC are doing everything in their power to pull in the best players asap and score a cup before Freo. And as I said, unlike the men's we will see (until they play as much and earn something closer to the men's) more movement between Freo and WC. It will be a big fight for the up and coming future WA stars, for example like Roux - a WC supporter from Gero who was in the WC academy and wanted to be picked up by WC before Freo drafted her. But, as with any recruit, Freo have the chance to turn her so she doesn't want to leave (i.e. in the next 6 games or so, remember 6 month contracts which started last Oct). But IMO, Freo really need to score a cup in the next year or two to hold their position as an attractive place for the girls to come and stay.

Watching the replay. After every Freo goal you can hear Roxy's mum doing the African war cry on the telecast. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it

If she were a WC supporter, she would have whipped out a 'messages on hold' sign in celebration.

Looks like our division will be the stronger again, and that Collingwood will be a challenge next week.

No she was a Essendon supporter.

Roxy Roux repping those colours proudly, loved seeing that at the game.

My maths is clearly failing me. I thought 60 + 15 was more than 40 + 27 but apparently not

Highest scoring match

• Adelaide 6.4 (40) def St Kilda 4.3 (27). Once again, the highest scoring match was in the last timeslot, with a free-flowing, uncontested affair at Hisense Stadium.

Sarah Black seriously don’t have clue or she just doesn’t put enough time into.

Sarah Black seriously don’t have clue or she just doesn’t put enough time into.

The latter. I've got in touch with her on Twitter before regarding a mistake she made on a piece, and she was happy to correct. That was the "Tighe injured against West Coast" one.

Could be worth popping her a message.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Roxy has been nominated for Mark of the Year. Google "AFLW Vote" and be sure to vote for her for this round.

Also Turbo for AFL Players AFLW MVP of the Week.

Grieve reprimanded for rough contact on Atkins. Gibson reprimanded for front-on contact with Cuthbertson.

Hey, I was just as excited as anyone to see that on Sat. What a night. But, I had to keep my mouth well shut sitting amongst West Coast parents ...for the whole game...after every goal...and every hard tackle . Not a peep. I was a Buddhist monk. You can support your family the best you can, but when that opening siren goes, you quickly realise you can only get excited (under your breath) about one colour jumper. However, unfortunately with a bunch of cool stories about the night (which ended late) I have been reminded to keep my trap shut so I'm going to have to keep my input on here to a minimum for the rest of the season (unless I can make it down to training) except to say, I think this is Freo's year. No one has a forward line that potent and mids and defense to back it up. Peace out.

I always wondered how easily knowing a player would sway your opinion, safe to say not very easily!
I wish your Eagles playing family member all the best... but only her, GO FREO

Some parents may be hurtful or mean to their children. Check out this post and find out how to divorce your parents.

edit - oh, I just realised you meant sitting amongst parents of WC players. Not your own parents lol... I would pretend I have work and can't make it, then go in disguise and enter the stadium from the other side.

Definitely some momentum with the women's team... Bowers up for player of the round after Duffy won it last week. Roxy Roux up for mark of round. Leah Mascall getting recognition for the great chase down tackle below...



Huge game against the Pies on the weekend. Two top teams on the ladder. Certainly not expecting it to be as easy as last time we met them.

I forgot about KJG's hit on Atkins in the 1st qtr - she got a reprimand. As expected the Hooker and Swanson incidental contact didn't even get looked at.

Gibson got off for her forearm high on Cuthbertson. Extremely lucky.

Now that I realise you meant WC players parents, not your own parents, I commend you on your thoughtfulness.

I know this guy works for West Coast, but ****ing what?
