AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[King Corey]

Imagine sacrificing the mens soft cap to make a seriously good AFLW team.

**** me! Thats a joke yeh? We are void of a serious assistant coach for the benefit of the AFLW?

Is it a pioneer business decision? Should such a decision be made when your club is a joke and on its knees? Im not sure

Why do you conclude we're diddling the soft cap to fund the AFLW program?

 

[Teen Wolf]

No actually I havent. We have 2 over paid players and pay one in our mens soft cap. We have ceiling on the player cap and we also have duel position coaches working in both admins.

No, I have not been proven anything. These girls are smashing every single club and had a stinker in the draw.

We over fund this competition.

Isn’t Kearney’s position at the club funded by the AFL as some women in coaching initiative? Or at the very least partially funded?

Also, I’d be interested to know who these 2 overpaid players are in your opinion? And how exactly we’re paying them outside of the cap?

 

[CURVE]

Why is the club so desperate to drag in and trade out of future draft picks? We dont have a short sponsorship? Our major sponsors have had enough, members have had enough..

if we can drag in a 10+ million dollar sponsorship from the womens game, it will be a master play. Cant see it happening and we 100% cut the men’s program short for it.

My God, this nut makes Donald Trump sound sane.

We pay a AFLW player as a coach under our soft cap.. and one of the best in the comp.. approximately 300k, did a hamstring recently too

 

[DuckYeah]

You’re all barking mad. It’s obvious in results on how over funded our womens team is. Have a spell.

 

[Samsquanch]

I was there and had my umbrella taken, but when the rain looked to be coming I went back, to the entrance and retrieved it given that half the crowd had their umbrellas up. Great game by the women. It was windy, and very wet in the third quarter.

Did you get your own or go for an upgrade?

Co-funded by the AFL under the Women’s Coach Acceleration Program with the cost to the club exempt from the salary cap. But you already know that and you are deliberately misleading (ie lying).

 

[Samsquanch]

The stark difference in IQ between our AFLW team and our men’s team is so important. The way the women invariably keep the ball moving. Constant little tap outs along the ground until we eventually get space and control. It’s a joy to behold. It will take a special or very lucky team to best us, if we play to form. We’re so well balanced. We’ve got hard players, dashing players, role players, targets, superstars - the lot. Gatt may develop into one of the best players in the league at the rate she’s going.

Northball.

It gets brutal when Teen Wolf present the facts. Kind of like a Vikki Wall tackle. Perfectly legal but you feel the bone crunch and you worry for the welfare of the poor sap on the other end of it.

 

[Marstermind]

What I know is that our Women's team are fun to watch. My boys and I have enjoyed going to our games this year.

What I don't know is how much our successful women's team negatively impacts our unsuccessful men's team. But I suspect it's not one ****en iota.

Fair enough. Maybe, better to open up another thread to discuss these issues. It’s just a huge downer having a curmudgeon in this thread.

 

[Marstermind]

Are they? Cool? Go to work and boast about it. Walk in and celebrate every week., I bet you are met with absolute laughter

Sorry. You're right. I don't enjoy it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Have a spell.

 

[Crazy Horse]

Why on earth does this thread turn to shit every week.

Don’t get it

 

[kool kangas]

I was there till 3/4 time, got absolutely drenched, comically so. Should have taken a Luke.

I did take a small umbrella but was not allowed to bring it in though I saw many being used inside the ground.

I was really impressed by the team’s performance, they were great.

In regards to taking an umbrella into the ground , after the game we spoke to a security guy and he said that umbrellas were now being allowed into grounds and that it was announce during the week on radio. It seems that 1 entrance was letting people take umbrellas in while the other entance didnt. Maybe they were never told..Anyway onto next week ...

Had a great time nonetheless. Yeah, obviously the security at the entrance near the food trucks hadn't got the memo. Thx

Seriously, go to work and celebrate like the mens just beat the dogs team..

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Coming back, it is really fun watching our girls dismantle team after team.

 

[Marstermind]

Okay. I will. That is, I won't mention it. Unless someone asks me about it and if they do I'll say I enjoyed it. Maybe it's my workmates, maybe it's me, but usually by Monday morning where I work, no one gives crap if my team won or not.

My enjoyment from NMFC has never been about rubbing my mates' noses in it. I'm not that shallow.

Apparently you can buy some cheap used umbrellas at the Roo Shop on Monday.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

4 goals conceded in our last 4 games.

Is there another entrance?

 

[kool kangas]

Can North start a Kangalotto for the womens team? Surely the girls would like it too...

 

[Marstermind]

4 goals conceded in our last 4 games.

Defensive structure is first class. Teams just don't look like scoring against us. 96 inside 50s across those 4 games conceding 4.11.

 

[kool kangas]

There seem to be a lot of supporters coming in from the Macaulay rd area..
