Long way from last year's big crowd at Optus. I assume with the longer big bash season that ground was unavailable.

Decision making is really letting them down.
Siekman or sikeman is out of his depth as coach 3 season we have done jack squat
Goalless in the first quarter, means we have kicked 1 solitary goal in 5 quarters of football!!....That must be a record, in AFL/AFLW?
The forward setup is just chaotic, and kicking into F50 is just atrocious.

They obviously do but I get what you’re saying, there doesn’t seem to be much game sense and reading of the play. Pies are so far behind every other team and seem to be going backwards compared to the rest of the comp, there just doesn’t seem to be any upward trajectory over the last few seasons. As much as I hate to go down the coach path but ....

Sorry to say but but look near wooden spooners. Need to put some wigs on the boys and introduce Dayna Beams, Stella Sidebottom and Tayla Adams to the team
Oh geez!!....lm tipping we go goalless this game!
Plus he said we used the ball well...If he seriously thinks we used the ball well in the 1st, that will explain the poor skill level.

That one was even worse, even the commentator didn’t know what was for.
Get a goal with the breeze!!...
Any good coaches out there cause this guy couldn’t coach Auskick
Why do we have the Swanny mixed with Blairy as our forward option?

I’d say this is going to get ugly, but that would imply we started ok.
glad to see the commentators explain what the hell is going on

We should be down by 10 Goals IF Freo had Taken there Chances.
We are easily the Worst Team in the AFLW and we are Unwatchable

I think they wanted to avoid the GWS scenario where expansion clubs were given pretty much the majority of the best young talent for years and starved the rest of the teams that needed young talent from having access to it. Their intent was also for the new clubs to be competitive from the word go so they wanted them to have a fair few established players.
According to this article: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl...019-list-expansion-rules-20171017-gz2jfs.html
"Existing Victorian AFLW clubs Melbourne, Carlton, Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs were involved in the process of formulating the expansion player rules, as were North and Geelong. The AFL has determined that the AFLW All-Australian committee will give each player at a Victorian club a points rating between 10 and 50, based on performance, but also taking into account injury, age and other relevant factors.
A window will open shortly after the end of the second AFLW season in which the Demons, Blues, Magpies and Dogs will need to give up players to their rivals. Existing clubs will give up between two and four players to a total worth of 100 points."
Not sure how King, Garner, Duffin and Hope came under 100 points. I think they need to look at how they value players. I think Collingwood was the major anomaly, however, there is still the potential to make an even stronger team than we did if a club could get one or two of the best players from all 10 clubs. We didn't get any players from Adelaide, Fremantle, GWS or Melbourne (we traded draft picks with Melbourne for some players as they were raided by Geelong before we could sign anyone).
I'd like to see them review how they value players because it seems a bit off and also, they should place a cap on the total value of points an expansion team can take in from other clubs. Outside of Kearney, King, Duffin and Garner, I don't think most of the other ladies we took rated that higher at their respective clubs and Geelong ended up with pick #1 and #2, we got significantly worse picks so there was an opportunity cost in terms of taking a few more mature players. I think we could have taken fewer mature ladies from other clubs because we have had an outstanding output from the ladies we took from the VFLW and the draft. I think a big part of the success is from being able to play an aggressive pressure style of football while also having pretty good ball skills across the board, we just pressure sides into turning the ball over and you don't particularly need a super talented side to put pressure on.
