AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Agree rep footy should be scrapped but even the Knights is a waste of time these days, they hardly play and its majority of times mates mates that get selected. Let the kids ( Under 16 and Upwards ) go out and play against men. Toughen them up and that will stop the egos kicking in then from parents that think their kid is the best.
Wouldn't be a bad thing at all, but the system is there so 18 yr old boys/girls can potentially live out their dreams and get drafted, as we know, very very little do.
Problem is that the ones that dont get drafted go back to wherever they go and play and use the ' I was at knights ' so they expect 1. $$$$ 2. Guaranteed games and to be fair the majority are no good or up to Senior level anyway . But according to the parents they are so good. Well if they were that good they wouldnt be playing local footy they would be at VFL etc.
Got a mate to email your post on Monday - Let you know when I hear something but I will find a way to give you the feedback outside this forum.
yep very true!
Might be interesting to look back to last year at Kinghts and the coaching upheaval that happened………..
Yes, that was somewhat interesting if what you hear is accurate.

Super job, they’re building nicely the Bridges. Reckon they’ll nab the Bergs next week and give themselves a red hot crack at finals.
Had a great year, but no chance they are beating Heidelberg, who are close to full strength now. They struggled against Mont and North. But may still sneak into the finals over Greensborough. Big game against them in a few weeks.
Not sure you can go back 10 weeks for a form reference.
Yeah absolutely they would, I would think they would focus on the u15 teams though given their next step would be into those U16 squads.
they would both beat Whittlesea, apart from that they would maybe pinch a game or 3 from teams but i dont think they would be too "competitive" with the big boys without serious recruiting.
Id say out of the 2 that Creek are more up to it than Eltham. Eltham though on a big ground it would be better to chip around and go nowhere where as Creek went direct when the time was right and were more polished with their skills.
