AFLW North Melbourne vs Yartapuulti - Round 7 @ Arden Street

[raptalia]

Umpiring has been shite but that is nothing new.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Duurs off with the pixies there.

 

[PA88]

A terrible team.

 

[raptalia]

Oh dear, this has become the rout that most of us anticipated.

After this game we will stand at 2 wins from 17 matches. We are not making any progress and we are now possibly the worst performed of the 2022 expansion sides.

This cannot be allowed to go on for much longer. It is about time for the decision makers to call Lauren Arnell into the office for a big discussion.

They haven't called Hinkley into the office for a big discussion after 11 years without a GF so they're not going to start with Arnell.

 

[I drive a truck]

Worst coaching and game plan I have ever seen. It is not that hard.

Actually, it is the same game plan as the men!

Be accountable? They're not even accountable for the men's teams.

 

[Marmozet]

Effort was there for a quarter or so but they were a class above and then it got real ugly in the end.

Absolutely destroyed us in the midfield.

 

[Marmozet]

Has a player ever gotten 40 touches in AFLW??

Garner got 39 today.

 

[tribey]

Can we at least bank some of this cash for more deserving players in umpteen years’ time? Like a talent trust fund for when the AFLW club turns 18?

We desperately need the competition to become fully professional and for players to be well paid as soon as possible. Until this happens there will never be a national draft and until there's a national draft we have no prospect of getting out of the bottom third of the ladder.

Women's game being 80% full time jobs will only make the game and port stronger

This makes no sense. Adelaide are dominant under the current system and there are plenty of high quality players based in SA.

They key is that you need to select and attract the right players and you need to develop them. Then its just a waiting game.

Five of the best ten u18 players in the country are South Australians. There is no shortage of talent.

Given how completely shithouse we are I'm expecting the AFL to be fairly kind with our draft hand so hopefully we add at least 3 or 4 of those.

A discussion about a contract extension?

 

[Marmozet]

The gap between the best and the worst teams is so significant that it’s hardly even worth analysing games like today.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

This seems to indicate we will get access to Goody and Young for essentially free.

The little-known rule that could see top prospects skip the draft

A player signing rule could open the door for some of this year's best draft prospects to be signed by clubs ahead of time

I’m not convinced more money will be the tide that raises all boats either.

Women’s tennis has enjoyed financial parity for decades, and yet with its ginormous worldwide professional talent pool, 90% of players not named Serena can barely take a set off anyone good.

There’ll be some baseline improvement, but even if everyone was safely fulltime, it’ll probably shake out a bit like what we’ve already seen.

A handful or two of Erin Phillips-tier unicorns who would’ve been great regardless, riding roughshod over comparative mini-leaguers.

Piper Window might be a handy get, granddaughter of Gary and this year's SANFLW best and fairest.

I only want her if she goes straight up to Hinkley and calls him a mongrel.

Sack Arnell!

 

[RossFC]

Arnell is a puppet just like Goldsack. Just doing their best to replicate the AFL coach’s gameplan.

Kochie and Ken both need to go to see improvements at SANFL and AFLW level.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Did we win?

 

[Poo Eckert]

Did we win?

Does anyone care?

A truer word was never spoken.
