    Coaching Staff Former Coach James Hird

    It will be argued that he needs this, he deserves this, and that only a return to the fold could save his mental health. Cue violins.

    Coaching Staff Former Coach James Hird

    Was Hird’s record as coach of a junior girls’ team really that good?

    Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

    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.

    Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

    I think he’s sitting at home waiting for Sheedy to give him a public endorsement so he can join Hird back at Essendon.

    Hird’s dead to me, so is the club if they get him back.

    Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

    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...

    Ladder conference farce

    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...

    Ladder conference farce

    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.

    Ladder conference farce

    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...

    Ladder conference farce

    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

    Ladder conference farce

    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.

    Ladder conference farce

    Ok I get it. You’re one of those people that like to ignore logic. That’s fine. I take it you’re not mathematically-minded.

    Ladder conference farce

    The two best teams will probably make the grand final. The four best teams will most certainly not make the preliminary finals.

    Yeah, good to see them improving. I remember them from last year and I thought they were putrid then.

    Ladder conference farce

    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.

    Ladder conference farce

    I think you mean A1 and A2. If North and Freo win this weekend, they will be competing in the grand final next month.

    Ladder conference farce

    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...

    Ladder conference farce

    Have there been any murmurs about season structure for the 14 teams in 2020? I imagine they will have 2 conferences of 7 teams.

    Ladder conference farce

    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

    Ladder conference farce

    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.
