AFLW Semi Final vs Hawthorn @ IKON Park Saturday 16/11/24 7:00pm

Filthy if you spoke to anyone at Brisbane maybe ...

Kochie and Richo would be going hard at a trophy that recognises stability and gives you some dosh.

Kenny would be walking around with no idea...as usual.

If you were to speak from anyone at Port or Brisbane, I'd say there's only 1 trophy they're interested in.

That's probably highlighting the problem. Would be nice if there was a minor round trophy that was worthy of the excitement. Imagine if that 2002 final round win against Brisbane meant we won the trophy and a million bucks. It would've made that a far more valuable result.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Did that award used to give points for finals wins as well? Feels like I remember that?

I'm pretty sure it was minor round only

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Yes it is, Hawthorn won it with their final minor round victory in the AFLW, edging out Brisbane.

Port came third.

Kenny probably wonders where that Loz chick is with the Coke Zero he asked her to get three years ago.

Wouldn't it just make more sense to award two Trophies
One for the Girls ladder leader at the end of the regular season - to be named
One for the Guys - the McClellan Cup
Both get $500k

I was asking about the Stanley H Lewis SANFL trophy. For some reason I felt like the points for wins continued into the finals.

I was refering to the old Stanley H Lewis

Oops my bad, should have read more posts.

Anyway the old Stanley is a minor round award across all grades.

It includes sanflw league results now too.

Because they're trying to create an award for the best performed club over a year. Having separate awards for the men and women doesn't achieve that.

And they've managed to find a metric which awards the 'best performed club of the year' to a club that finished 7th in one competition and 2nd in another much shorter competition.

Just make AFLW games count for the same as AFL games. The fact that their season is shorter doesn't mean that every two AFLW wins should count for one men's win.

We’re paying $5.20

 

[philreich]

We’re paying $5.20

Sportsbet says $4.85, and the Hawks are $1.17. Obviously our 7 wins in a row were a fluke.

we've got this, another W on the way for the girls

That's crazy. Hawthorn aren't that good and we were very impressive against Richmond. Arnell's minimalist Fos Williams game plan works well for our team.

Odds are definitely wrong based on an analysis of results. They should be favs, they will likely win, but it's a 3.20 to 1.40 type game at worst.

We've got this don't worry.

Matilda Scholz plays finals footy tonight!!

The biggest problem with it is that the Women only play the 11 games. How you finish a season is even more influenced by which teams you play against. Hawthorn played 1 top 4 side, and they lost to the Crows.

Hawthorn played 3 top 8 opponents in their 11 games. Brisbane played 2. We played 4.

Lol. Farcical.

Legit feels akin to the Scott Hodges days having her in the lineup.

We might lose a given game, but we have the undisputed freak of freaks doing their best to ensure that doesn’t happen.

 

[Marmozet]

Lol. Farcical.

I'm just a bit bias, but $5.00 for our girls to win tonight is a very, very generous offer.

 

[Grave Danger]

34c in Melbourne today, but at least ours is a night game - 36c and sultry in Adelaide for the afternoon Tingles v Dockers game.
