AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[datakid]

We must be the least talked about undefeated team in the history of the game. It’s like we don’t exist or we’re just an annoyance for the media. We don’t even get the standard underdog credit. It’s really disrespectful to the team.

I keep looking around thinking 'why is everyone else wall to wall coverage and where is anything about nmfc'. It's very weird tbh.

 

[Caracas]

The concern isn't that it will cost us the prelim, it's that it'll end up costing us the grand final.

I’ll back us in to be made of sterner stuff.

 

[datakid]

We’re not big enough to be good.

It's this. The AFLW are pissed that the winning team isn't Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn, Essendon, Richmond or WCE.

 

[The Nostradamus]

They should just push back the game at least an hour to start at 4pm when it will be slightly cooler/more cloud cover

Still no overlap with the next game that starts 7:30

We seemed to handle the heat just fine v Brisbane in Rd 1, we now have a full season of fitness and conditioning under the belt, Emma K back and lets go girls

Hawks coach offered a telling observation that Port were “stronger for longer” & I think this has been us all year. A lesson learnt from the Grand Final.

I’m totally OK with the more popular clubs getting more column inches. That’s just the way of things in a capitalist world. I don’t expect or ask for favours. What I’m not OK with is the apparent “barracking” for other teams. Last night’s carry-on after the Hawks v Port game was way beyond the pale. It was almost like there were only 3 teams remaining in the competition.

 

[Caracas]

I don’t suppose we’ll see the Herald Sun roll out the old “Let’s Support the Vic Team” like they’ve done in the past.

 

[Shack18]

Roos will destroy Port next week

 

[shinboner magic]

Think they put our game on earlier to give us more rest but it should be changed because of the heat.
Poort have no chance if they play in the heat again.
Shouldn’t affect us much against poort but it might the following week

Of course it’s that.

Nothing we ever get is going to come easy.

We handled it fine on the day and then backed it up with our worst game of the season. That's the concern. Playing in extreme heat absolutely makes the recovery harder and can affect performance for a while. The slightest disadvantage could be decisive, especially in a grand final.

 

[CURVE]

We handled it fine on the day and then backed it up with our worst game of the season. That's the concern.

There was travel back to Melbourne after the Brisbane game and some unsettled weather during the Geelong game. I would like to think that like Port we have also improved since the start of the season and will better handle the conditions the next time around.

 

[kool kangas]

Finishing higher on the ladder we should have had a choice of the 2 time slots.

Is that even a thing? Has any team ever been given a “choice” in the history of sport?

 

[Wild Bill]

Game will be over at half time - rest the players up and the heat won't be a factor in the Grand Final.

If only it could be an Adelaide vs Brisbane grand final so we can see the best teams in the country play off!

Maybe it should be as an incentive.

 

[Caracas]

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Sportsbet reckon North Men’s team have a better chance of beating WB in R1 than Port have of beating our AFLW team in the Prelim?

Apparently the 2nd game of a season is difficult as well. Hoping for some common sense...delayed start, longer breaks, drinks breaks etc.

That’s what Hawthorn thought

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Now that I’ve booked the flights, getting anxious about locking in tickets.

Assuming it won’t be a sellout & we are members.

Has anyone got an email about buying pre-lim tickets?

It will be the same codes you got last week.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

If tickets aren't yet available, is that a sign they might move the game due to heat?
