Women's Footy Non Lions AFLW discussion 2024

[Mr Ripper]

Richmond Football Club remains the most evil entity in the Australian game.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Hawks gifted the words easiest draw. Ridiculous to lose the 1m given our record this year.

Only thing left to do is win next week.

 

[Harris Specter]

The umpiring is so one sided it’s crazy

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Looking forward to doing the job and giving them some more honest feedback next week

 

[Mr Ripper]

Happier to draw Hawthorn away than Adelaide at home tbh.

VFL nightmare scenario, Lions df Hawks, Adel df North and both PFs and probably the GF not in Victoria...

 

[LionsMaw]

You had one job Richmond...

Why are we getting all these sun games?

Sunday is a shit time slot

Amen

It’s madness since we are probably one of the easier teams to watch

 

[Mr Ripper]

Awful game going on in the west. You’d fancy yourself against either of these two.

It's good to see the Bombers women upholding the finest traditions of the men's side though.

Maybe that's the reason? Gotta put a good team in the sun slots to make sun viewing bearable.

I don’t get why they don’t play the games at twilight. It’s summer up here.

Games are in Melbourne and Adelaide today...

 

[MSB ROYS]

Not sure whether this controversial or not, but I don't think that Adelaide are that well coached and/or the players can't follow a game plan. They have best talent especially kicking but are rarely in good position in their forward half.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Just my observation; think there’s been a bit of a drop-off in skills across the board this season. Might just be the lift in pressure, but it isn’t doing the game any favours as a spectacle.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Adelaide cruising against Freo in their semi at the moment 5.3 to 0.4 at half time. Odds-on to get another Lions-Crows final next week

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Can anyone confirm that the imminent AFLW grand final will mean that will never ever again have to listen to and watch that AAMI ad with the fake 1930s footy song and the oh-so hilarious fake footy bloopers?

Things are getting a bit desperate when the AAMI ads are even worse than the NAB ads

I would speculate that it's largely down to coaching and recruitment. The Hawks and the Power are well-coached and they seem to have put a lot of effort into selecting players that complement each other and are able to play a brand of footy that fits with the existing structures. There are quite a few sides that just seem to fill a squad list.

On the plus side if you do the latter you can just complain about the players being the reason your team is bad like the Dogs coach did.

Yeah, I think there are more mid-range teams who can negate the big kids a little more than they used to be able to.

Should learn tonight when we're playing in the prelim but Matthew Clarke hinted that it would be on Saturday
