We still lack a nickname. How about Croquettes?
Sarah (Tex | Plugga) Perkins is 2cm shorter than Eddie Betts

In general female birds are called hens.....
I'll grab my hat and coat and leave quietely..
15 cm average height difference between men and women in Australia. So 173 = 188, and 189= 204.Yeah but at 173cm compared to GWS' McKinnon 189 supposedly the tallest AFLW player, Tex would be 192cm if translated to the men's heights (tallest men around 210cm).
Our ruckman is 185cm hahaSarah (Tex | Plugga) Perkins is 2cm shorter than Eddie Betts
But who decides who is better players? You? The coach? Coach might feel DMac is a better player than a say, untried Menzel (for example). What you meant to say was "It means that solid players who I don't rate would be getting dropped for players I DO rate".
Newsflash: Noble isn't there any more.You mean Mr 22nd to 25th in the B&F is rated by the coaches? Spackler's on the money, we run a formula based selection system. Mackay needs to stay otherwise our average games played dips below Noble's magic number for premiership success.

Harder at the ball tooHave to say watching the two games today, it is very obvious that our team so far adheres and sticks to structures so much better.

I agree, a final 4 would be well received ....but how would the timing work, unless it interfered with the season launch of the mens competition ....and potentially took focus away ?With the success of the league so far, I bet the AFL is kicking themselves for only having one final. They should have had a top 4, a week with 2 semis 1v4 & 2v3 then the winners into a grand final.
Perhaps they could replace NTUA with a spice girls classic...And the associated lawsuit from the Spice Girls

I agree with a final 4 but I don't think it will happen for a few years yet. One option would be to utilize the Thursday season opener as the AFLW GFI agree, a final 4 would be well received ....but how would the timing work, unless it interfered with the season launch of the mens competition ....and potentially took focus away ?
I think a finals series could be as early as next year .....ATM attendance is free, may well be that finals could be paid events ....however the Thursday season opener provides too much $$$ revenue for the mens compI agree with a final 4 but I don't think it will happen for a few years yet.

Agree, a real problem for the AFL/W. Heard this morning that its basically serving as a pre-preseason comp. ie filling a void and taking eyes away from other sports.I think a finals series could be as early as next year .....ATM attendance is free, may well be that finals could be paid events ....however the Thursday season opener provides too much $$$ revenue for the mens comp
Just unsure how they can fit the finals in, unless they start the season a couple of weeks earlier again than they did this year?
Yes it's filling that void between the Australian Open and Season opener for the mens ....keeps Cricket and Soccer off the backpageAgree, a real problem for the AFL/W. Heard this morning that its basically serving as a pre-preseason comp. ie filling a void and taking eyes away from other sports.
I have also heard the GF will be $$$ to enter.
The woman's comp has made the AFL a ten month Comp in terms of real media coverage.Yes it's filling that void between the Australian Open and Season opener for the mens ....keeps Cricket and Soccer off the backpage
IMO it's fair that the GF be a paid event ......they've been discussing on radio whether that should be a nominal $2 charge or maybe $5 ......ATS the key agenda for the AFL is to get women and young girls to the matches ...the clubs will benefit from apparel sales
Can see the women getting well paid via the clubs and sponsors very quickly ....this comp has real legs and the skills even from week 1 were noticeably better
