AFLW get 8 points for a win, 4 for a draw and zero for a loss.

Lions 3rd v Saints 11th
Hawks 2nd v Tigers 6th

And Richmond with a couple of its key players missing through suspension and injury from the weekend just gone. Of course.

Archie goaling against GWS to bring us back within 70 points in front of two and a dog. We've come a long way, baby.

Jack Payne doesn't get a lot of love in the media, so it's nice to see Jon Ralph giving him some recognition in an article.

But the very best clubs have two elite tall defenders – Steven May

Nice to see him spell his name correctly also. A rare win for J Ralph.

Just come across this video.
She is American and apparently looks at different sports worldwide
She found a video somewhere showing the game and its basic rules and play.
It is one of the better videos showing AFL to someone that does not know much about the sport.

Great summary I agree.

If you are not impressed with the athleticism, stamina and skill level of AFL footy you are hard to impress.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

If you haven't seen one of these reaction videos by Americans or Brits to Aussie rules you're probably not on YouTube much. They're everywhere

Correct not on you tube much.
I suppose now that i have watched one AI will now send me lots

I hope we can keep them, LIV are opening their cheque book as we speak.

Not from the photos I saw, only Cam and Will.

The swans supporter with the full face paint and "bloods" across his forehead looked just as happy as he did on 28 September this year.

 

[McIvor]

Aside from all the lads getting back to training, with the fixture and drafts now complete, the only thing left is jumper numbers in readiness for 2025 which i know many don't care about.

The following are available and the likes of Beeken (47) and Craven (50) may also look to smaller numbers. I think TRD mentioned Jaspa potentially moving down from the 28 too altho dont know if that was them with inside goss, but some good numbers available - 3, 10, 14, 17, 20, 22, 39.

Its seems evident that Levi will get the #10 and I wonder if Day will get Joe's and his old Suns number #3 or will Marshall / Flecther get into that or in honour of Joe, is it retired for a year?

3- Sam Day
10- Levi Ashcroft
14- Sam Marshall
17- Ty Gallop

First in first served if anyone wants one of 20, 22, 39.

I am looking forward to Sam Day coming to the Lions but I would pass on the number 3 and give to Sam Marshall. Although Sam Sheldon and Brent Moloney (who I liked as a player FWIW) have worn the number 3, along Voss, Daniher and Allen Christensen.

Yer I would not be against that, just thought that if Sam Day wanted the same number he had at the Suns it would be a great way to make him feel at home and accepted.

Not necessarily saying that's what you've done here, but I'd like to see us not hand out #3 or #20 willy nilly.

I'd put #16 in the same basket.

Annable in the #3 sounds good to me.

Day could hold it for a year and hand it over when he retires.

Levi made a joke about Sam taking 3, and Sam was nope nope nope but I'm not sure if that was just a spur of the moment thing.

 

[Paul Mac]

Each there own but I hope Logan stays grounded. Personally I think this is about look at me but anyways. Popped up on my FB feed. NFI what Founders is and the only thing I know about Lara is that Allen Christensen was from there.

4 of them Logan Morris, Cal Ah Chee, Kai Lohmann and Josh Dunkley were at the Greensborough Pub last week in Melbourne. ( Northern Suburbs of Melbourne). We were present and must admit the prices above are alot cheaper than what we paid. We paid $64.00 or something like that per person and that gave you nothing, not even a glass of water.
