News Non-Crows AFLW 2023

[Eagleboy2011]

So what happened? Did the umpire think it was touched, or that it just missed?

Spec Savers appointment this week I think.

Richmond jumps over Collingwood.

With Brisbane almost certain to beat Collingwood next weekend, Richmond vs North Melbourne becomes a battle for 4th spot.

 

[brucetiki]

It was a goal. Again.

Wonder if it was the same goal umpire?

Just noted Geelong play Sydney. Can the cats get 4th spot if they win by enough and the Roos have a narrow win.

Yes, it's possible. That match will be finished by then though so North will know what they need.

AFL reviewed the Port Goal footage and claim that the it's inconclusive so are ticking it off as a behind, Umpire claims it hit the post.

Why even bother? It's not like "ticking it off" does anything, they weren't going to reverse the outcome of the match. So why bother to say they're ticking it off at all if the footage is inconclusive?

But if the roles were reversed they would have

Well, according to Member 3,330

We're on percentage watch for Melbourne vs West Coast. Demons up 23-0 at quarter time. If they can win by 77 points, plus 3 points for every point West Coast score, they should leapfrog Brisbane and go into top spot. It's certainly not impossible!

Would much rather face Melbourne in a final

Would much rather face Melbourne in a final

Absolutely. Melbourne will just go head to head with us and try to beat us on their talent, whereas Brisbane have a game plan designed to beat us.

We're unlikely to beat either, but still...

 

[cmndstab]

Geez, the umpires are hot on HTB against West Coast in this match, just paying it every opportunity they can. Almost nothing going back the other way, of course.

 

[cmndstab]

54-1 at three quarter time. It's going to go to the wire!

 

[Scorpus]

They fell short by 1 point. Phew

Hypothetical

Say Crows knock off Melbourne next week and Brisbane win, Crows and Brisbane have home prelims

If Melbourne then come back and beat Brisbane in Brisbane and Adelaide also win to make a GF replay, who goes in top seed and home GF if Adel had beaten them in the QF?

That's a really good question and one that the AFL has never had to worry about.

 

[radiojake]

Lucky for AFL they get to make a precedent to ensure Melb get it in that situation regardless

In the men's it's the higher ranked team gets the home designation right?

So in that case it would be Melbourne

 

[Scorpus]

Sydney with their first of what could be a few winless seasons

 

[Dirty Bird]

Anyone got footage of the 2006 grand final?
The answer is in your coin toss

Sydney (4th) beat West Coast (1st) in the qualifying final and they faced off in the GF

 

[pjcrows]

In the men's it's the higher ranked team gets the home designation right?

So in that case it would be Melbourne

But the AFL GF is always played at the MCG. In AFLW it's the ground of the higher winner. If Adelaide (3rd) had already beaten Melbourne (2nd) in the first final, and they both make it through, then who hosts the GF?

I think it would be Melbourne still.

I think it used to be whoever won the designated 1st preliminary final got home advantage, but they changed it to higher ranked team

But surely a team coming through the semis loses their higher seeding?

May not have to worry about it but be interesting if it happens

They should but I don't think it works that way in the men's
