He already did once. I guess too many of us underestimate the skill involved in coaching a girl’s U11 side. Clearly Essendon thought that experience outweighed that of his rival candidates at the time.
James Hird should never have been given a first chance as an AFL coach. His appointment was just one of many many poor decisions made by the club over the period of a few short years, and I suspect the club wishes to continue to make poor decisions. If Essendon was a publicly listed company...
Nicole Livingstone is a joke but I guess she has to defend the competition even if some decisions are out of her hands.
I'd like someone to ask her why the conferences were weighted unevenly. As I said earlier, and let's ignore the 2 new teams, Conference A is 25% stronger than Conference B...
you keep repeating yourself.
A1 are almost guaranteed to make the grand final. A2 are not as assured as there is a good chance they will have to travel for their prelim. If A2 hosted their prelim, then yes, I'd be a lot more confident that the best 2 teams will make the grand final.
While the 3rd placed team in Conference A will most likely feel aggrieved to not make the preliminary finals, a bigger problem will be that 2nd in Group A may have to travel for their prelim. This weekend is huge as the top 4 in Group A all play each other.
Possible game of the season this...
Yet another conference configuration, but like the previous one, a lot fairer than the current AFLW conferences.
Below, A is 1+4+6+7 = 18, while B is 2+3+5+8 = 18
If mathematical logic was applied and the groups were weighted evenly based on the 2018 ladder, the conferences would be as below. Again, nothing can account for 2019 form, or the luck of putting North in one group and Geelong in the other, although everyone knew North would be strong.
Ignoring...
If Eurosport was on Kayo you wouldn’t need to watch it live or record it, you could watch it on demand whenever you like. I imagine that’s similar to Foxtel IQ4.
My guess is yes, and that will be the only possible reason that it won't be a North v Freo grand final.
That said, I can't see Carlton making the grand final. I seem to recall them being an absolutely terrible side.
2019 was always going to be a s**t year for AFLW. It's just a shame that given the enforced restrictions of a 9 week season, they have managed to make some terrible and needless decisions. One conference is better than two, but with two, you need to ensure to the best of your ability that the...
AFL backing controversial AFLW conference system but Bulldogs boss says split was wrong from start
“Everybody knew that two teams would go through from each conference … if you can’t be in the top two of your conference, are you the best team?
“People need to get their heads around the...
Compare the AFLW with US sports. There was no justification to have conferences for 10 teams playing 7 games.
AFLW: 7 games, 10 teams, 2 conferences
---------------------------------------------------------------
NFL: 16 games, 32 teams, 2 conferences, 8 divisions
NBA: 82 games, 30 teams, 2...
I presume most if not all snooker is on Eurosport. For those wondering, Kayo Sports does not have the Eurosport channel (511 on Foxtel).
And the Eurosport player is not available in Australia - https://au.eurosport.com/watch-eurosport.shtml
Agreed. So you have 1, 3 and 5 from last year as well as the new team North Melbourne that was expected to hit the ground running.
But weren’t the groups set up based on geography? So Adelaide and Freo in one group and Brisbane and GWS in another? Even still that would leave flexibility with...
That is what prompted my post. So she says that her coach was a positive for her success but a negative for her happiness.
That doesn’t tell me much. I want to know more.
