AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Well with all due respect to the big fella I think he should follow in the footsteps of the great Jason McCartney and make one last comeback, however actually retire just before he runs out, cause there is no certainty anymore that he'll actually make it out of the rooms and onto the ground!!
As for your speed mate, well there comes a time were ya just gotta use ya skill and footy nouse to overcome a lack of pace, for Boobluvva well he just aint got any of that anymore.........dont know if he ever did have it either!!
As for my form and being in the best most weeks, well all I can say is that it may have something to do with the fact that the side I play for has only just scrapped together a side each week thus far!! However I did hit a rare patch of form on the weekend and picked up a lazy 40 odd possies and about 17 blind turns to advantage!!
The cooke monster is still lurking around the goals mate, kicked a couple in the first half last weekend, probably his best half so far this year. Will most likely score the 3 votes for BOG as he waz benched at half time, bit like the mudduck last year against Laharum..............dont need to go into that tho, however myself and the monster have regular chats about the very large amount of splinters that we have received throughout our careers!!
you run as quick as a turtle without legs boobluvva i would smash you in a race as my knees don't chaff like yours!
However the best was not given by me that day, so I will rest my case there!!
Well here we go again for another round of matches, I missed last weeks match summary so will just continue on with the job this week! Good to see the evenness in the league this season with only 2 games seperating 2nd and 8th!!
GW V Natimuk - First game off the rank is the match between the Lions and the rams. The rams put in a spirited performace last week and only went down to Rupanyup by 6 goals in the end and will be hoping for another solid performance from their boyz this week. On the other hand the Lions got back on the winners list against the newbies of the league and could have run away winners by a bigger margin but were very inaccurate in the first half.
With the reported loss of Skiller for the rams due to a hamstring injury, the rams will loose that drive out of the middle and if the Lions Bobby Garley, Spud "Eddie" Hurley and Rover Field can continue their good form, the Lions should runaway comprehensive winners by 60 points!
Laharum V Rupanyup - A very important game between the Demons and Panthers with only percentage Seperating the 2 sides. A win could see either side jump up to 2nd on the ladder. The Demons had an impressive win at home last week against Kalkee and are just starting to find form whilst the Panthers got out of jail with a 6 goal win over Natimuk. With Przibilla and Butsch firing up forward the Demons should win this comfortably by 6 goals!
N/Q V Kalkee - In yet another important game for theses 2 sides, Kalkee hold a 4 point lead over the Bombers, however the Bombers have a very healthy percentage and with a win could pass Kalkee on the ladder who currently sit in 2nd position. Kalkee with their 2nd loss of the season need a win tomorrow to stamp their authourity as a major contender this year and N/Q will be looking to bounce back after a narrow loss to the baggies last week. A lot will depend on whether Anson lines up for the bombers as he was reportedly KO'd last week, however if Perkins can sustain his lead on the goal kicking list and kick a bag, then the Kees should get home by 4 goals!
E/A V H/B - The roos continued there unbeaten run last week with a victory over the reining premiers and are at present shaping as the side to beat, whilst Edenhope/A after a solid 1st half ran out of legs in the 2nd against the Lions. If the Ward and McClure brothers all combine and play some good footy like last week and the suspect hamstring/quad of Edenhopes coach Langsworth doesn't pull up in time then the Roos should win this one by 9 goals!
T/Lake v Swifts - The baggies, coming off a hard fought victory over the bombers last week will be looking to cement their spot in the top 5 tomorrow, while the lakers should be fresh from their spell last round. The baggies will look to Tub up forward again to kick himself higher up the league goal kicking ladder and should have a day out and even with the loss of Hemaly down back with a broken arm who has been one of their solid defenders for the season so far, should have an easy victory by 10 goals over the struggling Lakers!!
How are things travelling at the Western? Big surprise the Rams got so close, so are things running smoothly at the Lions?
Credit to natimuk it was probalbly there best performance for a long long long time..How are things travelling at the Western? Big surprise the Rams got so close, so are things running smoothly at the Lions?
Hurley is a quality footballer who can probably win a game off his own boot, but it seems to always be the way that his team mates expect it and leave it up to him. 2 forwards this year that can probably kick 60-80 goals each, Tim Shalders is super consistent, Luke Cadzow has the ability to dominate a side (but doesn't do it consistently) and they recruited Bobby Garley who has proven why there were half a dozen sides chasing him. Good side on paper, and they have had a good side on paper for a few years even with people coming and going. They seem destined to under-achieve again. My question is why?
Pie Ass Shalders would keep anyone's canteen in business!Take nothing away from Natimuk they were good all day and were unlucky not to have won, probably come down to their inaccurate kicking that cost them in the end!! But in regards to the 2 forwards your talking about, 1 didn't play in Panther and Field has been playing a large portion of games in the ruck, so that did take away the goal kicking power up forward. Also add to this there was Dalziel, another prominent forward and N. Shalders who has given good drive and consistency from the backline all year, who both didn't play! Garley has been very good all year and Tim Shalders and Cadzow I believe are 2 of the best backman going around and I think you'll find have been as consistent as one another this season!
But you are right tho they do have a good side on paper and have had so for a few years now but cant seem to take that extra step. In regards to this season it has been more so that GW has been beating themselves by there inconsistency to play 4 solid quarters. On the weekend it was more so one of those days where not much went right at all other than the very good performances from the other brother Hurley and Josh Corcoran!!
On a positive note tho the canteen sales were reportedly up with both Shalders and Dalziel not playing!!
Just curious on whether Fields is worth the money he is. Tought he was a prolific goal scorer in his previous leauge. Also would anyone no if Dean Toet is still playing. If so how is he going. Mighty Roar seeing that you no just about everything about everything who do you think will win the league medal this year? Will anyone kick over 100 goals?Take nothing away from Natimuk they were good all day and were unlucky not to have won, probably come down to their inaccurate kicking that cost them in the end!!
