Yes he was. With Alisa CamplinWas Eddie there?
Was Eddie there?
No sack him immediately...Was Eddie there?
What kind of crowds do you think they will get in 3 weeks when we start playing? Novelty over.What kind of crowds do you think they will get in season 2 when you have to pay to go and the novelty has worn off

Can't really call that a season for the women then.We start playing pre-season games this week. And the AFLW season will be over before the AFL season starts. Guess the AFL timed it to be that way, so that those who want to watch women's footy can, without impacting on their ability to watch the senior men's footy. The AFL are pretty good at that sort of thing...

Hope needs to lose some weight and get fit otherwise she won't survive the future of AFLW filled with great female athletes.
It's all well and good to beat up amateur girls in the country but a national high speed comp is something a little different. She has a lot of talent but I'd love to see her beep test result.
Well just got home, first football unrelated comment.
Ikon Park is a safety hazard, back of seats rotten and boards loose on seats.
I also make some allowance for them being part-time and some being new to the game but at the same so were the opposition. The gap for me seems to be in coaching and fitness. I wonder how we measured up height wise, they looked taller.
Oh and I hate the grey training tops, why grey?
I've been really impressed with what I've seen of the women's competition so far. The standard has been much higher than I was expecting, and they certainly don't hold back out there. The crowds have been excellent and obviously the tv ratings have as well.
But c'mon, enough of the raining on the AFLW's parade. Not cool.
Sorry I personally have no interested in it and don't see the ties to the Collingwood football club. Don't want to see Eddie Mcguires name being dragged through the mud because of this rubbish.Oh FFS TG ...
... The women's comp has exceeded every expectation to date. Its popularity continues to cause no end of headaches for the organisers. Clubs are reporting that they're getting hammered by prospective sponsors wanting to get involved.
Sure, a lot more needs to happen before AFLW can be deemed a success.
Sure, AFLW ain't everybody's cup of tea.
But c'mon, enough of the raining on the AFLW's parade. Not cool.
What? The only money to be made out of this is at the gate? The only value is monetary?It's currently free to get into the games this season?
It depends on what standard you are comparing it to does it not?Your expectations must have been extraordinarily low.
Really 76er? It's about the worst standard of footy one could hope to witness but someone isn't allowed to say that just because it's women?
It's a great opportunity for all women/girls to play the game they love in a much more professional environment but let's not kid ourselves about the standard. To expect people not to factually say that the standard of footy is poor because it's 'not cool' is .......... not cool.
Ah just love it any chance to put the knife inSeems like the same story of the last few years. Some quality players, but poor coaching.

If I genuinely thought the standard was that bad I'd be prepared to say so, but I've found it quite enjoyable to watch. My expectations certainly weren't extraordinarily low but I still wasn't expecting a lot (I hadn't seen any of the games from last year that were televised). The skills, speed and physicality on display have been a pleasant surprise to me.Your expectations must have been extraordinarily low.

The comments I was replying to weren't about the standard of football.
I found the standard pretty good, the only glaring points are dropped marks and ground ball pick ups, the rest is up to stand of some VFL teams for mine.If I genuinely thought the standard was that bad I'd be prepared to say so, but I've found it quite enjoyable to watch.

Don't want to see Eddie Mcguires name being dragged through the mud because of this rubbish.
I think the handballing skills of quite a few of the players need a fair bit of work, that has probably stood out to me the most.I found the standard pretty good, the only glaring points are dropped marks and ground ball pick ups, the rest is up to stand of some VFL teams for mine.
Just against any criticism of the AFLW in general then?
