AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
I won't be making any statement yet Forest St End as things are still progressing. Let's say this idea has been discussed. The Giants merge has gone ok and building on it is an option. As for Coby coaching the club in 2025 I am not aware of it this time. We have had many conversations with Coby about his future. He is a terrific person and coach and I cannot speak highly enough of him.
Flynn is an absolute gun. Just like his old man! Good family.
Chris' son?
Nah his old man is Marty Lakey, was a gun player in the Riddell League matey. Flynn a very good player and champion kid too.
Absolutely he'd be a bit dirty. Some ridiculous voting popped up. Did a Maryborough player gets 3 votes v Strath?
Tardrew got two from his 57 against us... at this point you'd just dye your hair blond wouldn't you?
Indeed, Lanfranchi did get three votes. I get the criticism since it was a 226-point win to Strath, probably fair enough too. Agree that it shouldn't be three votes in a game like that.
Polled four votes in two games against Strath. Seems he understands Strath's ball movement pretty well.
Bloody good player. No issue there. Hard to see that the most influencial player on the ground can be on the losing team by 226.
One thing I can’t fathom is how a town the size of Maryborough has potentially gone from 3 clubs last season (2023) to only 1? Where are they all going?
I think you will find that Maryborough's unemployment rate is high. Young people are leaving for opportunities elsewhere and not returning.
that game Lanfranchi polled 3 in against Strath was a bit ridiculous his opponent kicked 11 on him. Don’t get me wrong Lanfranchi is a good player and does well considering the circumstances and he does deserve more recognition for what he does in that team and I’m sure he adds a heap to his club but you can’t poll 3 when you lose by 226 and you opponent kicks 11. His 1 vote in the second game was well deserved and nearly could have got 2 he was very good.
I wouldn’t think so. Sandhurst could andd Ollie Hanaford I think his name is or something like that playing for Murray Bushrangers, can’t see Travaglia playing due to the fact he will be drafted same for Day-Wicks. I don’t know anything about Gisbornes Calder players but I don’t know if you change that side besides Clough unfortunately missing out
It was good to see some of the country clubs like Rochester, who were well supported in the 16s, do so well. Bit of a longer drive for Maryborough parents but Strath was very busy yesterday.The BFNL have lots of initiative AlburyE as seen by the Broadford situation…
What an embarrassment our once proud league has become in so many ways. So many missed opportunities with little foresight and not trying different initiatives to get interest back into football in the region.
On a positive note congratulations to our Maryborough FNC under 14 team who won the premiership. What a great effort by all involved. Kudos also to our netballers for their efforts in the finals series. They did our club proud.. it was great to see all our teams so well supported in recent weeks despite the year we have experienced. The way we have stuck together this year has been second to none. Our future has not been confirmed as yet but rest assured I think we will be around in 2025. Where I cannot confirm as yet.
Good luck to those teams next week. Let’s hope for a close contest. I think Gisborne will take home the premiership.
Probably a factor of changing demographics and less cohesiveness in county communities as well, I'd imagine. If you are parent reading about concussions playing footy every week or even if think back to what happened with Dallas last year which happened so innocuously, you might think you'd want your kids playing something else.
Think Gisborne only has 1 Calder player who is a ruck. Hasn’t played a senior game so wouldn’t expect him to come in
Dayten Uerate has been playing the last couple of weeks since the Pioneers were eliminated and has been a good player for them. The only other player who would have been eligible (by playing two senior games during the season) is Ollie Hannaford who plays for the GWV Rebels and that team is in the grand final next Saturday hence he is unavailable for the Dragon who I am sure would have loved to include him.
How did you get bond, sumner and tranter back in the 90s. More jobs back than guru at the print factory?
