Yeah I thought that too - but the other angle was less definitive - anyway a trip to the MRP regardless for Casey.

Yep agreed she's been less than stellar thats for sure. Not sure whats going on there given she kicked over 100 goals for the doggies VWFL side last year. Maybe she's having difficulty adjusting to the change to the Pies? Maybe some club culture probs inside the Pies womens team? Not sure.

& we are still to play them in the final round in the 2nd to last minor round game, which could be handy if playing in the grand final comes down to percentage.
Last night, I took my daughter and her best friend to the footy.
This friend, born and bred in suburban Melbourne, has only ever watched one game of footy on tv (last years granny at our place). She has said over the years that her team was the Bulldogs, but everyone has a team. She had never been to a game - AFL, VFL, never even stopped to see a game in the local park, in nearly 17 years on this earth.
In the first quarter, she was all smiles.
In the second, she had a favourite player identified.
In the third, she was trying to work out with my daughter which was the next AFLW game they were going to.
In the last, she decided she's going to try to join her school footy team.
Today, she bought a footy and requested a footy scarf for her birthday.
From conversations I've had over the past week at work, I was getting a vibe that the AFL had unlocked a serious new market. Today, I'm convinced.

That's the really important question

Bulldogs, sadly.
But I'm pretty sure she's now got a second team.....

Don't think they're as fit as other sides ....and haven't chosen enough speedy runners IMO

Bit harsh (and early) to call her a dud? Kicked 100 goals last year so can't be that much of a dud.
What league was she in?
I made a double ton over the summer in my backyard.

Brisbane going to be very bloody tired next week....
Edit: Never mind, figured it out.
Can't wait for next week loving the endeavour, speed, tackles, skills of all the ladies but think I have a fav Jess Sedunary such attitude!
Certainly nowhere near living up to the reputation yet. I'd give her a run in the ruck.

I reckon she's getting no support and space cause she's in a dud team.
You put Eddie betts in the very early GWS teams and I reckon he would have done nothing too.

Jenny, you may find that Moana Hope may be like a great SANFL player that can't succeed at the next higher level ?
She's obviously not that fit, and is pretty slow ....in a competition that has already shown that if you're a slow side and move the ball slowly, you're going to struggle
Why did Collingwood fall away so badly in the 2nd half ......IMO fitness
Crows went to the draft and selected players with speed .....not sure Collingwood had the same selection criteria

Maybe ? .....but last night, unless the ball came directly to Mo, her workrate was very poor & reflected poor fitness and speed .....which IMO won't cut it in this new league
