News Non-Crows AFLW 2024

[treeman]

The AFL would definitely somehow come up with a last minute formula to hold the match at Alberton.

Wouldn't it be held at Adelaide oval if it were to be a Crows port gf?

Knowing Port and Kochie they'll probably feel they should be 1 million dollars richer considering 2 top 4 finishes in both men's and women's.

AO is unavailable because of cricket.

Anyone see the AFL try and fix a Showdown GF from here?

Mmm, I can see it now
"The Have's Vs The Havenot's Knockout"

Damn that would be very inconvenient!
Oh well it's highly unlikely to happen.

Bloody hell.

Port are a genuine chance at the flag this year. I can definitely see them rolling North.

No chance whatsoever. North will smoke them. But it is very amusing to see Hawthorn go out in straight sets after winning $1M based on a super easy draw

Nope. Higher ranked team get home ground. So probably at Norwood.

Had the AFL even considered the possibility of two teams from the same city outside Melbourne playing a grand final?

Really highlights the idiocy of the timing of the season, and the dearth of venues for sport in Adelaide.

That was a really impressive win. And my port hate mustn't be as ingrained with the women, I'm glad they beat the hawks.

Little over 5.5k total for the two finals today, you would think the AFL would be a bit concerned.

They should've bedded in 12 sides to get the standard higher ASAP, play 11 game season + finals.

But no, they go down the everyone gets a game path, looks like the fans have noticed.

Does anyone know if the AFLW have any KPI's to meet? or are the pay rises/more teams/longer season etc just keep on being funded by the mens comp with no questions asked?

The only team that roll North is Brisbane, their bogey team.

They will obviously be favourites, but they're not invincible. Non-finalist Geelong managed a draw against them, and we came relatively close ourselves.

Far from invincible. I thought both Port and the Hawks played well, impressive given how long they have been in the competition.

I think they will need to improve defensively, it was 51 inside 50s to Hawks vs Port 29, they wouldn't want to give us that kind of access to the goals.

I still feel there is a significant gap between Brisbane, Crows and my side. It doesn't mean we can't lose to sides outside this group, there a lot of sides capable of playing good footy. That being said, I'd be disappointed if we didn't get the job done.

It also might be helped by the fact we have a 3 premiership lead.

When they were hanging out at the bottom of the ladder I didn’t exactly ‘hate’ them all that much either but you should rightly feel some form of it towards them given that football club yet again went full ‘Handout FC’ to allow themselves to now be in this current position/set up to be a future power.

They did not pay one iota of attention to the league for years while the Crows along with the SANFL had to solely do the heavy lifting with the development and talent identification of women’s juniors and they ended up receiving all the benefits by being granted more player concessions than any other expansion club in the competition - they of course wouldn’t even have their saviour from last night Matilda Scholz if not for the total farce of the AFL randomly bending rules only for them at the last moment and giving her to them.

Yeah so f**k that welfare club.
