AFLW Round 6 - 2024 AFLW season (Tues 1st - Sun 6th Oct)

[Teen Wolf]

The "face of the AFLW" is nothing more than a term for players that are used to promote the game, the teams and their sponsors. For example, Chloe Molloy if the "Face of the AFLW" in NSW, she appears in all AFLW promotions as well as in QBE and other sponsors advertisements. She is photogenic, articulate and a talented footballer and appears to be in high demand, and I'm sure Roberts could be in a similar position in WA in the coming years, if it's not already starting to happen.

Every club has players on substantial marketing contracts. Of course Ella Roberts is one.

But I can't work out why Tanya Kennedy is front and centre on 7's stupid What About Free campaign in light of your claims about "market gurus" favouring Melbourne clubs.

They only beat GC through luck and incompetence.

Bonnici was the biggest factor.

Probably a 50:50 shot to beat Carlton who also don't have a forward line.

Which is something I said a couple weeks ago and you flipped out!

I assume you didn't watch the game?

Coll got 2 goals due to 50m penalties. I goal through an uncontested throw up in the goal square. So kicked 1 goal in general play.

They lost all the key stats. Kicked 4.3 to 3.6 and GC had a goal overturned incorrectly.

Incredibly lucky to be even close but a win is a win and GC certainly gave it to them.

It's pretty pathetic to misquote a pisstake.

 

[stax on the mull]

Had a good game the Port ruck woman.

WC have had the top 4 possession getters in the 20's in this game.

 

[CURVE]

This loss may cost WC a finals spot. They have been a little disappointing at home.

 

[CURVE]

It's always disappointing having to listen to Port's victory song, it's just as bad as Freo's and GC's.

She was inspirational, willed her team to the victory, very disrespectful to overlook her influence on that game.

Their opponents have the worst. Never heard a good rendition of it and the women's Eagle song is no exception. At least Freo's base song is interesting.

Agree about this threatening WCE's finals position. Think Port and the Red n Black team could be making the finals from here.

You can have very good players in losing teams. If you watched the game it wasn't won by Bonnici it was lost by GC and the AFL (even the AFL admits this).

I think West Coast's song is better, not by much, but at least its listenable.

Bombers not very convincing in the last quarter and that’s being generous

 

[Teen Wolf]

Port Adelaide currently in the 8, future ain't looking so bad now, especially considering they get the addition of Lauren Young next year who might supersede the passé Ella Roberts as the next face of AFLW.

Wow so the AFL are going to overturn the result, sirengate style? That's some hot breaking news you've got for us there.

I was posting on this board about the game as it happened, so there's no "if". It sounds like you just read the stats sheet.

Who said they were going to overturn the result? The AFL admitted they got it wrong and it cost GC the game. Human error.

With Toogood back they're a more talented team than WC and should lock in a finals spot. Beat WC without multiple key players.

They fade out of games though. I'm guessing they're too reliant on their key mids and tire late.

 

[CURVE]

Ella Roberts recorded 6 contested marks today, I think that may be the equal most in a game. Not 100% sure about that.

They didn't say it cost them the game lol, hence no overturned result.

Sabrina Frederick and Tayla Harris have had 7 in a game. Might still be the record.

6 is still pretty rare though (Harris, Huntington and maybe only 1 or 2 others have had that many).

 

[Teen Wolf]

Dakota Davidson another one to have taken 6.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Appalling 1st half from all bar a few in red and black.

Sophie Alexander shoots on the run from 15m out, directly in front, all the time in the world. Doesn't get near it. 31yo and your teammates are busting their arse in 30 degree heat... you CANNOT miss that ffs.

Georgia Clarke going for a Buddy Franklin rather than centreing it. Either delusional or just dumb as a doorknob. I would've dragged her for it.

 

[troybe]

Great third quarter from the Bombers. Putting the Suns to the sword

 

[Teen Wolf]

4 wins for Essendon now with a final tally of 6 and a sub-100% looking most likely... I don't think that'll be enough to make the 8 (can see there being a 6-win logjam from 8th to 10th). Meaning they'd need to beat either NM at Windy Hill or Richmond up in Darwin.

 

[troybe]

3 in a row, 4 for the season. Need to beat the Bulldogs on Friday night for 4

 

[Cdog71]

Sydney finished well last week and right in it this afternoon.
Playing well considering their outs.
