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

[Gizmo]

Oh no, looks like Phillips has done a knee now.

Well the way the conference system was set up you are right no one is disputing that, the point is the conference system is horribly flawed. I don't have any issue with Carlton in fact I think they generally play a pretty good brand of footy in the AFLW and have definitely improved. I just think the overall system needs to be changed to the traditional ladder based system.

Do you have a better solution to squeeze in the full competition into a couple of months before the men get cracking?

While they keep adding sides and crippling existing teams they will continue to stuff up the balance of the conference system, unless they want to expand to a full season along side the men this will be the same until we get to 18 teams and can't expand anymore.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Absolute s**t. Best player has just done her knee

 

[E92_]

s**t, players are dropping like flies.

 

[davis_756]

have I mentioned how good Erin Phillips is? I hope before she gives the game away she can earn some good coin

Got some serious Serena williams about her that is for sure.

 

[ManOfClay]

Not good

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Phillips, Scheer and Stevie lee all off injured what a costly match.

 

[projectv]

Erin Phillips

 

[KevDawg]

If that’s what everyone fears for Erin then that is just so unfair.
I hope she’s okay.

 

[twiggy4PM]

That doesn't look good. Adelaide are suddenly short of players

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Tragic - what a player she is.

 

[Dynamics]

Damn it.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That will more than likely by an ACL

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Damn. Unfortunately woman are more likely to do that.

 

[SunGirl89]

bad for anyone to get injured but Erin is the best player in the league so this is devastating

 

[ManOfClay]

Sorry to see it end for Phillips like this.

I agree its a tricky problem, personally I think they've tried to expand the comp too fast being the biggest issue.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

I'm no doctor, but that looked like a classic ACL tear.

 

[Plugger35]

That will put a dampener on Adelaide's premiership celebrations.

 

[projectv]

Lovely sendoff for her.

 

[twiggy4PM]

Classy action by Carlton players, respect.

 

[halalsnackpack]

Looks like she knows that's it for the career

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Well that’s just s**t.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Very sad to see, hope it’s not an ACL & Erin can make a quick recovery

 

[AndyLucimitis]

The injury is tragic but I have to say that's one of the best moments I've seen on a football field. Like the Ted Whitten lap at the G.

Great sportsmanship and respect.

Special moment !!
