Their names side is more experienced than Sydney's, but I did have to add a bunch of recently delisted players into their squad this week.
Barracking for North tonight. A Kangas win puts us on top in the McClelland Trophy race!

Wonder if Melbourne lose points due to the whole Joel Smith saga

Port & Suns a draw 7 goals 3 behinds each
With such a short season and short quarters extra time should be played

Don't think those factors make any difference

How are they meant to line up for goals?
Wasn't sure where to put this so I picked this thread but feel free to move it if it belongs somewhere else. Also not sure if you guys have seen this already but this is a very significant announcement for the future of women's footy in Queensland. Having the elite all girls schools in SEQ competing against one another in a genuine footy competition is absolutely massive because the schools will put proper funding and resources towards it, start handing out scholarships to junior prospects etc. The Lions will obviously benefit more than the Suns from this with 7 of the 9 schools being based in Brisbane and extra 1 in Ipswich that falls in your academy zone but St Hilda's on the Gold Coast also competes in the QGSSSA competition so we should experience some benefit too (helps that the sports director there is a former Sun). Now we just need to convince those pesky GPS schools to follow suit.
Freo being torched by some very ordinary umpiring v Sydney at the moment.
Kangaroos finish third despite not beating anyone higher than sixth.
Good thing we beat Melbourne - we could've had a situation where Gold Coast also finished ahead of us in fourth having not beaten any team higher than 7th.
It'll be good to have another 2 H&A rounds next season, but the comp will always struggle for credibility to some extent until it can get to 17 rounds.

- There are other teams?
It is a seriously compromised competition. Everyone knows it. I kind of get the feeling that the AFL will be a bit annoyed that they got all the top teams to play each other and they still ended up back at the top.
They will try to find new ways to “equalise” the competition again next season I’m sure (ie. give a lovely fixture to some big Vic clubs).
Also, not too long now till the annual scavenger hunt begins where Melbourne clubs, with money and “non-footy opportunities” to throw around, come a-calling for our girls. There aren’t too many clubs without ex-Lions players.
Call me petty but I enjoy the fact Bates, Bodey and Wardlaw all missed the finals
I can’t think of any AFLW players who have done better at their new clubs vs staying with Brisbane.
I’m sure they would say T Harris, but I’m not actually convinced.
They don't care. They would not have gone to those clubs thinking that their new team was in with a serious shot.
I get that. I still enjoy it though
That was the story to justify the decision…
If you arent playing footy to achieve success what are you actually playing for then ?
Her life after footy she is 28 and bates always came across to me as more about the career then the game. That is footy was a job to her.
I suspect Wardlaw was the attraction of the big city, don’t know enough about Bodie to know what her motivation was.
I suspect teams will come after us again at the end of the season with them going after players like Ellenger and orla . Hopefully someone pillages Melbourne for a change…

We will hopefully get lutkins back next year ( not sure how she will be after a year out of footy and her age) and saw some lovely things from Hampson and dunne on the weekend.
Dunne just impresses me so much at how much she is improving, her toughness and willingness to take the game on. She I think has all the attributes to become lutkins at her peak but with better athleticism
Grider also played the best game of her season this week. I think she does so much better with bree in the backline

Lutkins was slowing down last season and after a season off I wouldn't expect too much
Some disgraceful (non) umpiring going on at Metripong
Suns getting mauled. Thought the loss of Rowbottom was going to be a problem for them, but there are a few ladies here who are not handling the occasion
Elixuh
See you on the 9th green at 9
Posted in the wrong thread but the umpiring in this game is SO bad. So so bad. If you thought our game was bad this is next level.
