Glad we’re not the only SA based team that cops a hiding from Eleni
Geelong get over Freo 4.3 to 0.1, played in Perth They knocked off Richmond last week too who just gave us an almighty scare. Are they good this season?
They knocked off Richmond last week too who just gave us an almighty scare. Are they good this season?Good win in the end by the Bulldogs over Port Power. I enjoyed hearing their song playing over the loud speaker at Alberton - sung by women. I wish the Crows would get a female version of their song. It sounded really good.

Port girls been in the league for 2 weeks, and already setting records.
Lowest score for a Port team since 1900.

Fremantle have been the biggest disappointment this season. Thrashed by Brisbane last week and didn’t even rock up today.

I wouldn’t mind this to be honest, though it was out of necessity for the Dogs given the mens version is ‘Sons of the West’.
Sydney actually changed the wording of their club song from ‘While her loyal sons are marching onwards to victory’ to ‘While our loyal Swans are marching onwards to victory’ this season to avoid a similar situation.
I didn't get to see the Essendon vs Carlton match but it looks like it was fascinating! Carlton out to a 5 goals to 1 lead early in the third, then fails to score for the rest of the match as Essendon creeps closer and closer. Final score, Carlton 32 to Essendon 31.
The way this season has gone so far I wonder how long it will be before zones get brought up in the media again.

Makes for ugly reading. Hard to build crosstown rivalries out of scorelines like that.
Pretty good chance we're going to see a few smashings tomorrow as well. Melbourne vs St Kilda could get ugly, Richmond vs Hawthorn could get ugly, even Carlton vs Power has the potential to get ugly, especially with Houghton now out injured. At least Eagles vs Essendon should be close.
Possibly waiting for their home game? It lasts for two rounds.
Also, a draw in the Port-Carlton game! They kicked 4.1 in the second quarter and 0.2 for the other three combined.
Oh ok, I knew Sir Douglas Nichols round had been extended to 2 rounds, didnt realise the same had happened in AFLW
Hopefully this will be similar to the scoreline of when Crows play Port.
Essendon making a statement over the Eagles. Up 70-25 early in the 4th

Gee Carlton spudding it up this season. Escape with a 1 point win over Essendon and could only draw against Port.
Mind you they play Freo next week.
Melbourne v Brisbane next week will be one of the matches of the season. Pity it’ll clash with the SANFL GF

What has happened to Freo. I thought they were supposed to be good.
Absolutely cruelled by injuries, and lost a couple of important players to expansion as well.

Similar to Nathan Brown's leg injury. Player coming over the top and landing across the shin. End result: broken tibia and fibula
If Brisbane put Melbourne to the sword I can see them having an undefeated season. AFLW will be so beyond pissed that an interstate club is gonna win it again.
Port’s first win against what is probably the worst side in the short history of the AFLW. As predicted Hannah Ewings is a star and most of the talent in the Dowrick family certainly went to Port’s Abbey, WA clubs idiots for ignoring her for 2 drafts.
Also as predicted NSW going to be a problem for this competition for many years, not enough talent even for one team in that State let alone two, too much competition for talented athletes in the State would not be helping either.

I can't see GWS or Sydney being even remotely successful until the competition becomes full-time and they scrap the state-based drafts.
