AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[ferball]

One thing i love about the team, win, lose, or draw, at home, or away, after every game, they always have time to engage with the fan's, also, love the singing of the song out on the ground.

They spent 45 minutes after the game hanging out with supporters. My kids loved it and were a bit star struck.

 

[The Nostradamus]

kearney injury update yet?

 

[giantroo]

 

[DarwinRoo]

6 ****ing weeks.

 

[Liam Boy]

****!

 

[The Nostradamus]

**** me that looked very minor at the time

Pullar is back but i rather her on the wing than hbf

maybe rotate wing and hbf with bruton

 

[Only Forwards]

big loss.

I just watched the post-match interview with Crocker and Mia King. Mia is our next captain. Jasmine is a great player, but doesn't have the qualities a captain needs. Mia has it in spades, is still young, is midfield. She's our next captain.

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Hopefully back and firing at the business end. Want Emma lifting that cup.

And Kearney is our next coach...

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

6 weeks for Kearney

 

[muttley45]

I thought the worst when i saw her limping along chatting to Ruby just before 2nd Q began, hope she can get back for the finals, even if it is the big one only.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

If she keeps this up, she’ll be the “Milli Vanilli” of AFL journalism…

Blame it on the rain after our last couple of games.

 

[muttley45]

Any chance of Sophie Kavanagh getting a debut game for us soon ?

 

[kool kangas]

5 more weeks before finals start so she will be fresh for the 2nd week of finals..

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I thought the worst when i saw her limping along chatting to Ruby just before 2nd Q began, hope she can get back for the finals, even if it is the big one only.

For me it was when Kate was giving her a hug after the game. Kearney just looked very uncharacteristically bowed down.

Who sweeps behind the ball?
Maybe re-purpose Bruton?

 

[Roostorm]

Friggen *&$#$@@
Right put those darn mirrors, ladders, black cats away now…..
Fingers crossed her recovery goes well.
Stupid fixture and weather

 

[CURVE]

Who sweeps behind the ball?
Maybe re-purpose Bruton?

Is Bruton a little too short (she is 9cms shorter than Kearney) to play a defensive role? She also needs to lock down an opponent.

Maybe we bring in Shannon and switch Wright to the "Kearney" role but I'm not sure she has a penetrating kick like Kearney.

Yeah Bruton for mine

Best ball user

Maybe we bring in Shannon and switch Wright to the "Kearney" role but I'm not sure she has a penetrating kick like Kearney.

She also doesn't have the experience and IQ that EK does. The way she reads the ball and hits the contest from 20 or 30m away is almost irreplaceable.

 

[Caracas]

Is Garner an option to play the Kearney role, possibly? Or would that be giving up too much? You can imagine she would be very creative and she’d be freed up a bit.

 

[Teen Wolf]

isn't the Kearney role what O'Shea does here:

You would think that if we went tall the coaches would choose someone like Pullar or Shannon instead of robbing the midfield.

I know it's hard to compare to Kearney, but is O'Shea a good enough distributor to play that role on a permanent basis considering how North play?
