AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[King Corey]

If you are talking about Vicki Wall, they had an impeccable reason and I'd recommend anyone in their position do the same. They were a co-designer of our Pride guernsey as well.

I wasn't referring to Vicki fwiw.

 

[King Corey]

Imagine how good Garner would've been with talent.

 

[Del191229]

Would you think the umpires will have learnt from previous seasons.

Their umpiring hasn't got any better, why would their voting?

 

[Flawed Genius]

Gunna be fun to see how big the difference between the umpires and coaches votes is.

So unbelievably excited to see her finish a distant sixth while Charli Rowbottom streets the award

Sarah Black "Jason didn't appear on-field in AFLW Season 2023.

But his contributions to Alberton Timezone - a tier 5 sponsor of the PAFC women - earn him a place in the top 10 AFLW moments of 2023".

Imagine how good Garner would've been with talent.

Imagine if, in addition to being an extremely hard-working and technically exceptional player, she could also do this:



I think we would've already won 3 flags by now!

 

[CURVE]

Congrats to Mia and Alice for being named in 22under22 squad, but I'm a little disappointed Taylah and Erika didn't make the squad.

Kangas pair named in 22Under22 squad

yeah, takes so much talent to take a mark over the top of someone that's 11cm shorter than you.

Erika O'Shea and the Dees Sinead Goldrick discussing this weekends final and their history in Ireland.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Someone who, despite being above average height, is 11cm shorter and also can't jump as high. Yeah, I do think that's more about talent, rather than work ethic.

That makes no sense. Harris is 11cm taller than Grider. Grider was backing back and Harris had the sit. It was good timing and good hands but didn't really display that much talent. Being able to jump high takes a massive amount of hard work, talent only gets you so far. Just look at Kyron Hayden. Not that much talent but worked so hard after his knee recon he had one of the best vertical jumps ever.

Not sure what supposedly "makes no sense".

I say Harris' ability to jump on the head of somebody Grider's size is mostly about talent.

And you say it has more to do with hard work.

So we disagree. I think that's pretty clear.

Of course someone who is 11cm smaller going backwards cant jump as high as someone 11cms taller running forwards. You picked out one talent from one of the best high markers in the league and hinted at Harris being more talented than Garner.

Just imagine how good Leigh Matthews would have been if he had the talent of Sean Smith.

Yes I've scoured the archives and couldn't find any footage of Jasmine Garner taking an overhead mark.

Goes to show how unreliable our memories really are.

Nobody would misinterpret that to mean "Leigh Matthews had no talent" or "Shaun Smith was a better footballer".

And yet when a similar comparison is made about Garner, people bizarrely consider it as a criticism of her output.

You down played Garners talent immensely, and it was you that was comparing Harris to her. It was a stupid thing to say. Just imagine how good Harris would be if she had half the talent of Garner. Harris can mark and punch that's about it.

We get it, you don't think Garner is talented, everyone else thinks you're wrong.

 

[CURVE]

Their umpiring hasn't got any better, why would their voting?

After three years of ridicule for ignoring the best player in the game, they may finally wake up and pay attention. It's no guarantee, but I'll predict she will get at least 2 BoG's this season.

Squad for QF. Mia King is a definite in with Gavalas omitted.

Only an idiot would sincerely construe my comments as "Garner isn't talented". But if funny guys want to keep posting that, I'll respond every once in a while.

Btw Harris also has much greater speed and a longer kick than Garner, in addition to being taller and having a better leap. I don't believe Harris has, nor will, come anywhere near to fully capitalising on her talent (unlike Garner).

Let’s hope so…last year was beyond disgraceful

Erika Oshea commits for another two seasons

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Mia and Lulu in for Gav and Ruby. I think this is our best side.

 

[shintemaster]

This is a massive game for our club. I really hope against the trend we make a huge statement this weekend.

Fast improving player, could really be something.

We must try and match them physically, in the ruck especially, makes it so hard for our mid's when oppo ruck's first move is to ragdoll opponent out of the contest, before tapping the ball to their advantage, without penalty 90+% of the time.
