John Cahill (10x SANFL premiership coach) said that Erin Phillips was the best 14 year old footballer he had ever seen -
I think if the two had equal access from the same age to elite pathways and training, Erin would have come out well on top
Adelaide were poor today, but the *n umps were even worse
Crows constantly pinged HTB when they either had no prior or got a clear disposal
Chelsea Randall being completely hacked off the ball every time she went for a contest and not one free kick
North could throw the ball whenever...
Would have been interesting had they both played footy their entire sporting careers; either both in elite pathways that are available now, or if Erin had played local footy that Daisy did for her first half
As it is, I don't think it's a controversial thought to suggest Erin's time in the WNBA...
You could make an argument that Ch7 deserve the official warning and please explain for disseminating the message infinitely more than Hosking did
It's pretty funny, really
Hypothetical time!
Brisbane and Melbourne clear top two, so I don't think this will happen - however, it's finals so who knows
Say next week Brisbane win their QF and Adelaide knock off Melbourne, giving Brisbane and Adelaide home Prelims
What happens in terms of seeding and home GF if...
Melbourne were way cleaner with their ball movement and Adelaide seemed like they drank a carton of red bull and played on at all costs to their detriment
The umpiring though made it unwatchable
Crows lost 8x Premierships, 2x AFLW player of the year and arguably the best player of the first 6 seasons - nah not 28 points worth
Port now with 5 picks before the Crows
The secret herbs and spices formula for working out the compensation for losing players to expansion teams is clearly just AFL deciding to do some arbitrary leveling of the teams - the huge outlier being Carlton not losing and draft picks despite only losing two players
Ha I didn't even realise the extra "first round" pick was 28
It's a shambles - honestly reckon it feels like the last 4 clubs get a better shot at building a squad than the last two sets of expansions
it's an extra first round pick - but sure it could be called an upgrade
it was a pretty crude table on my behalf, I did it rather quickly from what I could find
I think the point of it though was there really was no logical 'system' employed by the league to work out compensation - Nothing...
ok so this is a crude table but this is what has happened from what I can tell - basically without any formula released to the public, this all looks like the picks were taken away/given based on what ''feels right'' based on how successful each club has been, rather than any tangible ''worth''...
I never found anything that actually explained how many "points" each player was worth that went to expansion clubs
It was a pretty good way for the afl to just make sure Adelaide Brisbane and Melbourne didn't get a first round draft pick regardless of who they lost
It is funny - % being big or not is entirely dependent on the original figure
A 400% increase from $5 to $20 isn't in the same ball park as a 10% increase from $1000000 to $1100000
But you know, the girls are greedy 🙄
If Adelaide win, would Tayla Harris be in unique company (or in no company at all) having lost three grand finals with three separate teams against the same opponent?
I am assuming 'rebel' is the sporting house brand and they are sponsoring the league but it certainly looks odd without a capital letter indicating its status as a proper noun and rather makes me think Kerry Packer has returned to usher in an alternate women's footy league to rival the current...
Weird OP - definitely warrants a thread but not sure what half the content in the post is about
Absurd thing with Deni is she is an ICU nurse so about to throw away her job and footy career - I do wonder what other aspects of medical science she has rejected before in her job
I hear ya mate
Last night was the Crows first 'metropolitain Melbourne' game since 2019, and I think Casey Fields is scraping the definition of metropolitan - With the last minute fixtures I was unable to get off work for it - It is also legitimately easier to get to Kardinia Park than it is...
