AFLW players are 9.2 times more likely to injury their knees than male players. Here's why.

Dockers going to beat Cats, so top spot in conference still in reach if girls win tomorrow. Lose and we probably not even make finals. will drop to 3rd in conference.

Sorry for the noob question, but how does the finals work with the two conferences?

question - are there women's footy boots?

 

[thylacine60]

what's cruel about it? you kick 1.4 you lose - sick of this biased "poor little country town geelong" bullshit - go gws, go blues........


GWS deal cruel blow to Geelong's AFLW hopes

question - are there women's footy boots?

I said

 

[drunkill]

Yes.

Xblades are the best from what I remember: https://xblades.com.au/collections/women-football-boots

Women are more likely to get injuries wearing mens boots.

Tough on the Lions and Freo but we knew new teams in their states would split the playing lists.

We can lose upto 4 players and after making finals I think we will get raided by Richmond and St Kilda. Just gotta hope they all bought into the Hardford coaching and style and nobody decides to leave. Although I still think Tayla will go to Richmond if offered a position there.

Freo have one of the best lists in the competition, and the way GWS & Brisbane have managed their playing lists is a joke.

None of the interstate clubs are being hard done by compared to what happened and will again happen to the Victorian teams. At all.

The real problem here is that Port Adelaide aren't being seeded into the competition next year, leaving Adelaide with virtual monopoly on the 2nd largest state league intake in the country.

The wages will go up, but next year will arguably be a plateau year in terms of talent influx due to 4 new teams again. It'll be highly watchable product, but lists will still be a bit thin.

Remember that not only do lists need to expand and teams need to enter the system, the season needs to almost triple in length and shift towards the winter, and has to start projecting as profitable.

1 year contracts needs to change

How did we lose to Geelong? They are terrible. Or is Adelaide THAT much better?

Looks like the Girls will be in Adelaide next week.

Haven't looked like scoring

 

[katmanblue]

Haven't looked like scoring

Adelaide are well coached.

The way they set up defensively about 70m out is really good. Geelong can't break through at all.

Hope Hard is going to school here.
