Game Day AFLW R1 2019 - Crows vs Dogs @Norwood (2/2/19)

[Murray2503]

I can safely say the bulldogs will not go back to back. They rely on a handful of players and are pretty average.

Hey guys was Sarah Perkins injured or just not selected

Maybe if the $200k the AFL threw at millionaires like Dangerflog who don't need the $ to promote a video game went to these players who are passionate about AFL, they could spend more time practicing and lift the standard

Maybe.

I do wonder whether they should adapt structurally to deal with the shorter kick range- perhaps a smaller ground with reduced numbers to avoid congestion would produce a better spectacle (in my subjective view).

Having said that, the product is selling- people are attending, people are tuning in- which are pretty good indicators that my concern about the quality of the games isnt widely shared. I just wonder about the long term prospects of the league if it continues about this level. There needs to be more scoring. I'm not sure if people who attend a game where their team scores one goal will keep coming back year after year. But I might be wrong.

Completely different game style with a new coach. Good by kick and hope hello link up play. If we could actually kick a goal it would be even better.

Dream team question?

Awful, I defend the standard of the women’s game a lot but both tonight’s games have been big steps backwards

The skills around the ground are vastly improved. It’s our goal kicking that letting us down.

 

[Murray2503]

No holding the ball in women's footy.

She got injured after Christmas and only just started training last week.

 

[Murray2503]

Rubbish rule

Not selected, still getting fit. Shocking goal kicking.
Good game though.

Bulldogs,enough said.

 

[jenny61_99]

Ratchish kicking needs some work.

 

[Murray2503]

Randall a star but a few of the crows players just don't put in like they should.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not sure we'll win this one, wasted too many opportunities.

 

[Murray2503]

Women's football needs more goals if it is to succeed. Would look at reducing the size of the ground. Will be a lot more entertaining.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Dropping everything like the men.

 

[jenny61_99]

Why was that a free kick?

 

[Murray2503]

Pretty disappointing effort if we lose. Should have won this by 5 to 6 goals.

 

[Southerntakeover]

******* mark the ball Mules.

[Moonwatcher]

Anyone know why theboundary umpire threw the ball back into play from about 20m in from the boundary line?
