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

do you get the impression from her face that she knows she won't get any good news on Monday?

 

[SportsCentre]

Impressive reactions from everyone then, crowd, opposition, team-mates.
Poignant moment.

Suddenly it all seems a bit flat.

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

Crazy, thats Phillips, Scheer both with likely ACL's today. Throw in Stevie lee injured too and thats 3 of Adelaide's best gone. At least Tayla Harris injury didn't look as severe may even get back on.

 

[SunGirl89]

well done to the Blues players and their social media people

I don't follow much aflw but see a bit here and there and I don't care what anyone says, the aflw just delivered one of the most touching moments in sport ever. Devastation and compassion from both sides for a beloved, highly respected competitor.

That's left me a bit bummed out. I remember feeling the same when Judd went down - it's a massive downer watching the greatest in the game going down like that.

Nice of the Blues players to all give her their well wishes.

 

[SunGirl89]

let's stop with the stupid commentary suggesting that Carlton have a sniff because Erin Phillips is off.

it's like Dwayne Russell always suggesting a team can come back.

 

[twiggy4PM]

Looks like she knows that's it for the career

I think your right. I hope not but she will be mid 30's before she can play again and after a stellar career in professional sports her body may be at the end of the road.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

well done to the Blues players and their social media people

That's absolutely awesome. Well done to the Blues media team. Brilliantly written.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Anyone got thoughts on who is best on ground? Few players out there got strong cases.

 

[megatiger]

when the moment is loaded on social media and linkable here someone please do

 

[SunGirl89]

Most kicks:
15 - Erin Phillips
10 - Marinoff, Davey

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.

Couldn’t they at least play each other once, teams finishing top four play off for GF. 11 weekends of footy. Easily slots around the men’s.

Class.

Gutted for Erin. What a special moment with both teams showing support as she was taken off though.

So many bad injuries in the last couple of weeks in both the men's game and the women's.

 

[RustyCage]

So sad to see Erin go down. For mine she is the best player in the comp by some margin

 

[KevDawg]

Even if she lost some run/fitness she’d still be an asset at half back maybe, creating plays?

 

[SunGirl89]

every time a player falls over now I'm worried about their knees

Should be fine to just play permanent forward I would have thought.

I'm paranoid too now.

Maybe this year that would have only been 9 round instead of 7, they are adding another 4 teams next year though so that pushes it to 13 rounds + finals = 4 months
