Ham being fully up and running is something that can really take us up a notch this coming AFLW season, just one more incredibly classy player to make big moments happen. Hope she stays healthy.

Box Hill playing a lot of AFLW players and beating teams by similar margins to what we are, hopefully give our team a real contest next week.

Seems like pretty poor behaviour really

VFLW is a lot more hit and miss with how much AFLW talent players. I don't know what the pay situation is, all the coaches are different, and the squads are larger, about 45 players I think. I get the distinct impression our opponents aren't fielding their strongest sides, the Dogs team had no...

Yeah that looks like a straight swapout if they swing it. CZ probably the upgrade depending on price.

What a waste of time and money by the cops

This is very not true, a match day positive test puts you in the Joel Smith position. Long ban for PEDs.

Roughly 2.3x as harsh as the men's, despite the AFLW not actually having a recreational drug policy

It's a pity they didn't just do it in Lexi's home city, it's not even a criminal offence here, unlike in less sensible parts of the country. Would've just been a small fine like a parking ticket, and likely not recorded in public unlike under the NSW court system.

They were sentenced in court in late January

It's also just nice that apparently they're paid enough to get on the bags now.

Literally not even a crime in the ACT now, hopefully the rest of the country gets sensible drug policies soon too. If it had been, say, the Hamiltons or whoever out in Canberra, they'd have the equivalent of a parking ticket rather than facing police charges and "good behaviour" conditions and...

Is there a reason it has to be segregated given we're all one club?

36% disposal efficiency with 3 missed shots means he had 50% disposal efficiency from his other 8 touches. Still not brilliant but that does make a difference.

This is the first time in a long time where we're looking like one of the best couple of teams in it, with a recent track record that means people assume it's sustainable. We're not even just around the mark but a genuine early flag favourite and I think the most of the national footy media in...

Didn't say it was. I said the cricket is further along the path than footy, ie in how they treat the women's game. That means things like pay, general media coverage, and in the sport taking a unified cross gender approach to how it presents itself.

Aren't they shortening from previously having a longer season than the men? 14 games in the women's vs 10 in the men's, and it's turned out that shorter works better in the men's anyway. At any rate, I would definitely prefer social media consolidation by clubs and bigfooty club board...

I'm not sure if separate club channels on social media is the better approach, I'd probably prefer to see the Swans running everything through a single twitter and instagram profile rather than the current separate ones. I'm even a bit annoyed we have to have a separate sub-board on the Swans...

Problem being then you're listening to SEN.

He's looking like a real "glue guy", being involved in a lot of team things, linking plays together and covering options and not making mistakes.

I'm surprised this went so differently to the game vs AFL Sydney, those two women's leagues used to be reasonably evenly matched. Probably suggests good development now underway in the much larger Sydney population.

Don't recall disputing this

The folks dismissing them as not real fans, however. And the folks deriding the idea that Sydney even have a hell of a lot of fans.

Also given he's promoting the big showpiece event coming up, talking about all those legions of casuals is important to justify it, because that's who we are trying to grab with all the special events.

Dismissive Victorians

Can't say I was specifically addressing or criticising you, sorry if I gave that impression! Would note though that it does help the club. Firstly it gets them revenue when they do each individually show up, secondly it means a steady stream of possible convertees into more serious fandom which...

The Swans it turns out were the only club with a gender pay gap in favour of women in both base and total pay in the pay gap transparency data released today: They've published a statement on this noting that it's heavily skewed by AFLW players being pro-rated to full time equivalent per...

So although a lot of those million-plus survey respondents are just very casual disengaged fans, we also per the breakdowns of the roy Morgan data have just about the most unique individual attendees at games in a given year. What that means is we have a wide variety of people going to one or...

The criticism reported in the Guardian is coming specifically from the ACT government, who sponsor the Giants themselves, and who are noted as being in the process of trying to limit sports betting advertising in the ACT. One can imagine the club they sponsor doing sponsored content for a...
