    The tackle must be legal, even though there was an incorrect disposal (which I hate that this is ignored in the AFL and the AFLW), the tackle not being legal takes precedence first. The tackle started before the incorrect disposal. So even though the push occurred after the incorrect disposal...

    2019 AFLW Draft

    Radan works in politics/government so she often has to move states. When she was initially drafted to the Crows she was based in Canberra and was moved to SA for her job. Then she had to move to Victoria, hence leaving the Crows and being traded to Melbourne. Now her job is taking her off to...

    AFLW List Changes

    8 Crows have re-signed. The wording makes it difficult to understand who signed for two years. We have players on the end of season trip in Bali and those will be announced shortly once they are back in the country.

    There also the major issues of when games are scheduled, what the weather was for those games - a 40 C day game is not going to get the crowd of a night game when the temperature is in the high 20s - low 30s. The AFL apparently use the drop off in round 3 games as an "issue" for AFLW, but the...

    Adelaide has had a higher allowance on football spend for their Women's team compared to the other teams because of the travel costs associated with players and coach based in the NT. I know last year that they couldn't afford to send some of their regular trainers to away games because it would...

    AFLW 2019 AFLW Awards (League and Club B&Fs, AA team, Rising Star etc.)

    There are game replays up on the women's.afl website. Watch the crows games from this season to see just how dominant she is. First game is annoying because they kicked 1.11! After that they got very accurate. The first two quarters of the grand final had some amazing skillful football being played.

    AFLW 2019 AFLW Grand Final: Adelaide vs Carlton, Sun Mar 31, 12.30pm ACDT

    Being in Adelaide makes a difference in knowing about Port and their lack of actual real support for grass roots. They have always talked a PR game, but rarely follow through with real actions (just look at their responses regarding racist or violent supporters). I grew up respecting Port...

    AFLW 2019 AFLW Grand Final: Adelaide vs Carlton, Sun Mar 31, 12.30pm ACDT

    What work they are doing now? I know the lack of work they are doing and have been doing in respect to grass roots football for women - nil. They have an academy side, but they just utilise talent that has already been picked and developed by the other SANFL sides first. It smacks once again of...

    AFLW 2019 AFLW Grand Final: Adelaide vs Carlton, Sun Mar 31, 12.30pm ACDT

    Port is highly unlikely to have a women's team. I don't get where this continual talk of them having one is from. They can't attract sponsors for their men's team and they have issues in making a profit. They will only get a women's team if they have someone else pay for it all. They had a...

    AFLW 2019 AFLW Grand Final: Adelaide vs Carlton, Sun Mar 31, 12.30pm ACDT

    They made everyone go through the turnstiles on the way in so they could get an accurate count. There was a lot of people standing and so many kids running around. Leaving the ground well after the game had ended and there was so many people.

    Just name a medal* after Erin Phillips and be done with it

    We are so lucky to have watched her play live. I slag off the AFL a lot for the short sighted decisions at times but bringing forward the aflw by 3 years means we have gotten to see Erin live.

    AFLW 2019 AFLW Grand Final: Adelaide vs Carlton, Sun Mar 31, 12.30pm ACDT

    Teen Wolf how did Jones make the AA squad you keep asking. Well, by having the most score assists in the competition and she also applies a huge amount of defensive pressure and creates turnover - two key things for smaller forwards in the game. Combine this with getting on the scoreboard...

    And every time it is brought up about that game with Carlton missing Harris, they forget that Randall also wasn't playing. Harris really struggles against Randall, so I call it a nil-all draw with both those players being out for each side. We also had Danielle Ponter playing her first game - as...

    AFLW - The Round 7 Thread

    What scares me about watching my team is that we haven't played to our best for full games yet! The basics are so very well done in terms of the positioning and structure that they keep to, but even in that Melbourne game there were moments that I felt that could have been capitalised on better...

    AFLW - The Round 7 Thread

    Big ground and they have been looking tired for the last couple of weeks. Geelong have looked to have similar issues and I wonder if it is compounded by the bulk of their teams playing almost full seasons in the VFLW. I know from the Crows side, most of our players didn't play the full season...

    I know of one of her ex-teammates who played as a junior in the same team with Erin and he has said she was so far above the rest of the guys in their team, with the same amount of player development. He didn't think that comment is so far fetched if she was allowed to continue to play instead...

    Interesting write up there, but I feel there are some corrections needed about the Crows game in respect to the midfield. Dayna Cox played the whole game from the backlines (halfback for her in her traditional position) and Jess Foley only went into the Ruck from CHB after Rhi Metcalfe and...

    2017 AFL Womens Grand Final - Brisbane v Adelaide, Metricon Stadium, 12.55pm

    It's the basketball, where they are often trained to do that if you are a certain size. It's really hard to undo 10 years of that type of training. That same basketball though has taught her how to use her body best in one on ones and her ability to move her opponent out of the way with just a...

    What have you liked, learnt or hated about AFL Womens Round 1?

    It was a wet ball too and Adelaide has a number of players who have a decent kick on them around the 40 - 50 m range - Gibson, Randall, Marinoff, Cramey, Perkins and Phillips, although Phillips is not kicking as long as she has before because of the quad issue she has. There are a couple more we...

    Rules Chest area to be "sacrosanct" - and no fines

    I was told about the rule last night while at training and our male coach, who was telling me about it, said 'that has to be a rule made by a man who has never spoken to any female footy player'.

    Rules Chest area to be "sacrosanct" - and no fines

    How are they going to deem something to be 'incidental contact'? We have already seen that the AFL has no idea about policing things properly, instead they make up more and more rules that just contradict the actual intent of the game. The whole reasoning about it being a very sensitive area...

    Rules Chest area to be "sacrosanct" - and no fines

    What do they do about tackles then? What about when you are trying to bring someone to the ground and they hit the chest? What about trying to punch the ball away, you are going to get contact to the chest. This is just so weird to me as a woman who plays footy. This to me is a rule that seems...

    AFLW AFL Womens Logo and promo video

    As a woman who plays footy I hate this logo for both the use of pink and that it looks either like an upskirt shot or a stick person on their knees. Both are horrible connotations in respect to women. There is a reason this logo won the Cockwombling Numbnut of the Week award on our footy...
