AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[The Nostradamus]

We better not have wright at any point next week on Davidson or Gould

Ferg and/or birch on the dominant key forward from whoever wins tonight

Not concerned too much about either attack other than their respective full forward

(Ponter too but she seems hobbled/not 100%)

 

[Del191229]

Probably a sexist comment, but her kicks look like a bloke has kicked it more than anyone on our team. And the most accurate too.

I know exactly what you mean and I font think it's sexist.

There was a story recently that talked about Hugh Greenwood wondering why his kicks fell short when he trained with the W team, then Emma explaining they use a smaller ball.

That Tess is sending 40m bullets from kickouts in that context is something else.

What's the injury Ponter has done

Heartstrain

 

[andana]

Eddy might not have had a great game, but her composure to find Bruton at CHB with that handball in heavy traffic going against the flow, leading to the Shierlaw/Gatt goal with two to go in the third was sublime.

While they dominated in many facets, it was their intercept scoring that proved decisive. The Kangaroos' total of 8.3 (51) points from intercept possession chains is the second-highest total ever in an AFLW final.

 

[Dan]

This team has always been talented.

You could argue it had more talent when the likes of Gibson, Gilroy, Duffin & Ashmore were in the side. But perhaps the team needed time to mature and it's evident how well they've done without Kearney for a large chunk of the season.

One more (touch wood)

 

[DarwinRoo]

One bad omen for next week, in 1998 we went into the Grand Final on an 11 game winning streak before losing to Adelaide.

Hopefully history won't repeat.

I'm worried about being the Sydney men's team this year... Port narrowly beating Hawks in a semi before being destroyed in a prelim is a bit too familiar.

 

[the big lebowski]

Extra time win to the crows would be nice

 

[The Talent Scout]

WELL DONE GIRLS, ONE GAME TO GO, GO ROOS!

 

[hilly]

Reckon we have Brisbane covered if they make it.

 

[Del191229]

Honouring The Football Gods by not watching the other prelim.

They have granted us entry to the Grand Final. All that matters.

Any opponent is a privilege.

We serve at their pleasure.

 

[Karanicolas]

Reckon we have Brisbane covered if they make it.

Davidson worries me.

 

[DarwinRoo]

I have no idea why anyone would want to play the Crows again.

They are the only team that has had us on the back foot and they did it twice and for a whole half.

 

[hsquid]

I don't watch the other teams very close. Who would you rather us play next week?

Whichever one it is that doesn't have Danielle Ponter and Dakota Davidson.

 

[Waynesworld]

Davidson worries me.

Just play Vikki Wall on her.

 

[hilly]

Randall and Marinoff worry me more.

 

[Samsquanch]

Not sure what was worse to be watching, the cricket or tonight's prelim. But it's stumps now and still a full quarter to go in the footy.

Or do we switch over to 9Life for the latest episode of Montana Mountain Cabin Renovators?

There's some good live streams on youporn, so I'm told.

 

[Sillygit]

Much prefer playing brisbane. Crows got far closer to us this year.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

looks like its gonna be brissie

 

[Only Forwards]

Brisbane getting a ride.

 

[Amicalola]

Umpires and commentators both seem pretty keen for a North vs. Brisbane rematch. Commentators fairly shamelessly barracking against the Crows (who are behind), lol.

 

[jay317]

I guess it's revenge szn

 

[Samsquanch]

Brisbane getting a ride.

That crow girl who was called to play on in the goal square looked slightly perplexed.

Slightly pissed off actually.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Question:
Why don't we see star indigenous players in AFLW? Would be awesome if there were female guns like a Cyril or Buddy running around.

Mia King goes alright

anyway Adelaide just look cooked. really tired and nothing is working for them like it usually does. we could charge over brisbane next week if we play our best footy, I believe that.
