The Showdown at Norwood oval locked fans out. And that was WITH the AFL STUPIDLY scheduling it to clash with the Adelaide Football Leagues Womens GFs occuring at the same time across town. Never should have been at norwood Oval to begin with. All those derbys should be neutral (and yes, I know...

Alternatively the 9 teams that should get the extra game are the 8 non-victorian teams plus north Melbourne due to the travel factor. Evens up an imbalanced fixture

The 6 v 5 should be obvious. All teams play 5 home, 5 away. Then you have a "neutral" game for 6 Adelaide vs Port Adelaide at Adelaide oval Fremantle vs West Coast at optus stadium Sydney vs greater Western Sydney at scg/Hansen Park Brisbane vs Gold Coast at gabba Then do a couple of...

Normally it's the complete opposite though. Normally it's blow everything, even when it's not there. That though was don't blow anything when it was obviously there.

You should read the definition of decimated. Your facts actually backed up the use of that adjective.

Do you have to attack any/everyone that has an opinion contrary to yours?

Saturday afternoon doesn't work for Adelaide (And I believe Brisbane, GOld Coast, GWS, Freo or West Coast either) It's traditional for Victoria and Port Adelaide. And alternaitvely, Sydney has built themselves up to have a core that turn up for everything.

Short term - Keeping the season short is arguably the best decision. Keeps interest up as you can manipulate these Sydney/Gold Coast/Essendon runs. Without it, the best teams get through and it drags a season on when there's nothing for teams to fight for. Long term - Extending the season is by...

So like Richmond last year who only had 1 win vs a top 8 team all year that let them nab top 4 as they went 6-0 vs non-finalists?

At the end of the game I was standing there going Top 3 is obviously Foley/Hatchard/Phillips. And as much as I knew Phillips was dominating and would've won if she hadn't got injured. Missing over a quarter had me thinking she might just miss out. But ultimately, I believe I leant to 3...

You made me go looking at who it was. Never heard of him, but here's his foot cv 2000-2006 - Opposition Scout for Carlton 2008-2011 - Opposition Coach/Performance Analyst for Carlton 2011-2017 - Opposition Coach/Game Analyst for Gold Coast 2018-2019 - Umpire/Game Analyst for AFL 2020 - Womens...

"ThE lEaGuE eXpAnDeD tOo QuIcKlY" Ignores that a 2nd year team spanks a past premier.

Didn't your list builder sign herself to a contract at 35 years old or something?

Oops, forgot to count 2023 twice :sweatsmile:

Hoping Essendon, St Kilda and Sydney win. I want them all to make finals. I keep on hearing the whinge about the league expanding too fast. However, if they can all make finals (especially St Kilda) it'd mean that only West Coast (and in a couple of years time, Port Adelaide and Hawthorn)...

how the **** did that get a suspension? Actually, let me re-word that. why the **** did the MRO waste his time even watching that?

I'd hope to god they dont do any aflw into mens final double headers. You'd increase the cost to attend by 1000% and potentially lock out fans who care about the womens team and not the men as much. Or young families (particularly with daughters) who might want to support the womens, but don't...

Makes me wonder if the official praccy matches are all in your own state to avoid travel.

Also - How bloody hard is it for the AFL to look at local football schedules. Why in gods name are they playing the AFLw Showdown on the exact same day, at the exact same time as the Adelaide Football Leagues Division 1, 1 reserves, 3 AND 5 womens Grand Finals. They're your fan base who want...

And this BS is exactly why they never should have moved from the beginning of the year. Play it in the pre-season - I make all 5 games, (1 would require a little tweaking with work to start/finish 30 minutes earlier) - Now I miss 2 games. And you lose ground availability as this now clashes...

One question I have in regards to GF hosting. Is it based on ladder position entering the finals series, or does it get re-seeded throughout. For example QF 4 defeats 1, 2 defeats 3 SF as expected PF 1 defeats 2, 4 defeats 3 Would 4th (who won the matchup vs 1st in QF) host the GF, or would 1st?

And I 100% agree with this. I'd personally leave it at 15min for now, but have timeon for the entire 15 minutes, rather than goals and the final 2. Over time I'd like to push towards the 20 + Timeon. But for now, I'd take 15+.

As much as I feel a gather round in Melbourne defeats the point. I'm not opposed to it happening the weekend of the AFL Grand Final Eyes are already on Melbourne with everyone out and about. proposed games edited to take into account public holiday on Friday. 1. Thursday 7pm 2. Friday 2pm* 3...

Melbourne beat us Rd 1 last year based off amazing coaching. Took the Bulldogs plan from the previous season, and implemented it for an entire game. Just ran waves right through us. Amazing slingshot passages of play.

I was thinking about this topic yesterday. Should they wait till 2027 for when the mens come in, or should they come in sooner? I personally like the idea of them entering the league sooner to garner support for the national side. The fans might rock up in huge numbers and get behind the...

I can see Adelaide rebounding. I have gotten the sense that after both the 2019 and 2022 premierships, we were arrogant and thought the next one would be a walk in the park. Both times we failed to back up. Still have a good team (Sure, we lost our leading goal scorer, but she really only...

**** off AFL

I don't like this year's figures I know the crows have season 6 members free season 7 membership Other clubs may have done the same I know mine was free

At this point, I hope I'm wrong.
