AFLW 2024 - Round 4 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Co-incidental that Terry Bright is coach? ie. amount of Newtown players in squad and the fact that Michael Bright was picked straight up after two games when coming off a season following a knee re-co? Shane Jack unlucky to miss out I would have thought; 55 goals from ruck rover and a bloke who doesn't play a game gets straight in after 12 months on the sidelines.
That might be the case but he was chosen in the squad before he had a chance to kill it. GFL & GCA are identical in this respect. Interleague squads should be chosen to reward players for stand out seasons the year before; not players with big reputations. What are the selectors trying to achieve? A win at all costs against the opposition or to pick players who have earned the right to represent the competition. The AFL used to have it spot on and only ever rewarded players on form. Too bad local comps don't see fit to do the same.
Going along ok. Loss to Grovedale was obviously not in the plans but Grovey played very well on the day and deserved to win. Costa has been going along ok and played at his best in Round 1. Jack coming off B&F year has been best player for the past couple and as said before was very unlucky to miss out on GFL honours. Carson boys have slotted in well. Both very different players to each other. Dale has kicked 16 so far at FF whilst Paul runs all day and has been amongst the best each week. Other recruits have all been good inc. Saunders at CHF, Faulkner across half back and Whiteford in the centre. Some lesser lights have also been solid. St Albans at home this week followed by a tough test out at North Shore. Coming from only two wins last season, they will do well to knock on the finals door.
Well perry 18, i have heard of the kid. And its just another charity story that has come out of the anglesea fc. Tristan lynch has had a few stern words to the coaching staff about giving young cuz a run it looks like. Vicious rumors going around about the young fella being put on the wing in the ones and the kid broke his leg from running wide, too wide into the fence. But when the kid comes back they will place him on the ball. In and under player. And apparently the kid loves a punt.
perry, perry, perry. little do you know about my very reliable sources. All im sayin is that "burnsy" has a crack, and good on him.
perry my man, i bet you would know all about the hair straighening strategies wouldnt you? Yeah and im not blaming the accident, because i cant play the game for s#%t anyway. Yeah dont know about the barton college debarkle your going on about here, where is barton?
Unsurprisingly, I was very disappointed in the Geelong Advertiser Mon morning. They ran with the StJ/Lara and Newtown/St Marys games. Meanwhile, two of the biggest upsets unfolded in Sth Barwon and North Shore both being defeated, yet not even a short note. Well done to both Grovey and Bell Park. Certainly makes for a continuing interesting season. I have seen Grovey play once this season and they looked a lot better than the punters were giving them credit for. Mensch has got them playing a very smart brand of football and after last season's exodus of players they have a good handful of blokes now standing up. Davenport looks to be one of the best going around at present whilst Riordan continues to be one of the fast rising stars of the comp. If they keep up their form, they will certainly be in the mix at the end of the season. Not sure who they play this week but NS have GWSP at home who will want to arrest their pattern of win one, lose one and this should be one of the games of the round.
Pull your head in, lets talk footy. If your not going to be serious, leave. There is no room for comedy here. As you can see.
im a serious man. hard to find me with a smile.
