I think Everest is having an extremely underrated season. Hardly getting beaten, runs off her opponent and has a decent boot on her too. Kemp also, been a rock in defense. Not sure if they are AA but they have been extremely important.

They've been great! I think we noticed how much Everist was missed at the start of the GWS game, they took a bit to adjust.

Someone told me I rated Everist too high, I've seen nothing but praise for her all season. lol

As a hawks fan, can’t see the criticism of AFLW? We know they are more subject to weather conditions?

So there are 6 teams below 80% for season.

In AFLM recent years, number of teams below 80%

6-4-5-2-3-2–2-2-3. That’s with all the equalisation and better conditions

Punt road averages 19k in vfl days. It’s pathetic now how restricted it is

Yep the AFL want better returns from the AFLW and consistently shoot themselves in the foot! Why am I not surprised.

Is Punt Road Oval now Swinburne Centre?

yes

In fairness the ground is vastly different to what it was back in the 1960s.

i dont know if it was Dan Webster, but seeing McDonagh shepherd through a couple goals last week is a good sign, because she was going for difficult marks in the goal square and rushing behinds before, shepherding goals when you can is a good tactic and it seems a recent tactic that McDonagh has incorporated.

They close off a third of the ground. I understand that the grandstand is condemned, but preventing people from entering the Yarra Park side of the ground limits it massively too

Hi I have been away but a question for you please.
Have all the seat tickets for next weekends game been sold out?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Not

Not yet. Will hit capacity though

Tried for AFLW members and non members only GA standing room tickets available.
Bit of a bummer, will get in quicker for finals tickets.
Thanks for your help.

There's only standing room at punt road

 

[libbylou]

Mitchell Madness do you mean there is only ever standing room at Punt Rd or that
all the seats are sold and only standing room left.

There's only ever standing room.
The grandstand is closed to the public for all games there. Apparently not up to standard (reason they are knocking it down and rebuilding it)

They also close the entire Yarra park side of the ground. It's terrible

 

[libbylou]

That is ridiculous there should always be some king of seating at AFL games.
Thanks for answering.

They expanded Punt Rd didn't they? That would have taken a lot of the capacity on that side of the ground

 

[pattymalone00]

Where do home finals get played?

Ikon Park (imagine 2 home finals at a ground the club has never played a game at)

Yup - only one stand remains and the footy club's HQ takes up a fair chunk of the area. I walk past it almost daily - there is absolutely no way known you could fit 19,000 people in there for a game now given the area for spectators.

My inner-city selfishness kicks in and I am excited that it would be nearby for me. The girls have won at plenty of different grounds this year - they'll get the job done regardless of the venue.
