Game Day AFLW 2018 Grand final

[Lionsrbest2]

Lutkins is military. She isn’t going to be bothered about individual recognition. Her platoon was just defeated.

Sure , now she more concerned about the team,the loss and rightly so. Howver in the coming weeks if she gets the chance to see the game ,she will realise without a shadow of a doubt ,she got kicked in the guts and richly deserve BOG.
For a lot of people recognition is important , especially when u play your guts out, you get paid a low wage compared to time and effort put in. I believe ,in Lutkins case ,it would help heal the wounds of the loss faster.

Good thing the Dogs won instead of Richmond.

I'm not sure what you mean

don't think it helped Buckley heal the wounds, if anything it reminds him of "what could have been"...

They have made 2 grand finals in 2 years. No other club has done that so it should attract players who think they can join and help us get over the line next year. Players are leaving Carlton not us.

Is she on a multiple year contract? Genuine question

got no idea, I don’t really watch the women’s

I believe the Women are only on year by year contracts at the moment.

In that case can't see Taylor sticking by Carlton next year

Stranger things.

Watched a fair few games this year but th GF seemed to be one of the weakest in terms of umpiring and AFL rules.

I understand that they may slightly relax holding the ball and incorrect disposal calls during the main season but these were barely called at all today.
I find it insulting to the women playing AFL that the umpires did not call 80% of the calls today. I’m all for women playing AFL, a lot of games are more entertaining than the mens, but enforce the rules and treat these sports women as sports women.

 

[Comeback Lions]

Not an insider & don't know the whole story, but given the conditions I wonder why we didn't play Hildrebrand forward instead of Bella Ayre. Her ability to mark and her mobility would have been an asset. Starcevich could have been more creative and gone with SFT and a small forward line in the wet. I like Ayre and think she has potential (she did set up a good goal for Woosha against the Giants) but conditions really didn't suit her today. Anyway still proud of the girls, but think we could have been more astute in our game tactics & not just gone with what worked last week.

Umpire number 5 looked totally out of her depth today making mistake after mistake which was frustrating for the game but I guess they have to have at least 1 female umpire. Thought her two male colleagues did a good job.

 

[James North]

Could not fault the girls' effort today ... and when the boys played it looked like touch football in comparison!

Next year.

Buckley is a totally different kettle of fish. Collingwood fans, players ,coaches could never be healed of their wounds. Not even Jesus could heal them. Haha

Sadly, this Lions AFLW side will mostly be remembered as chokers and its hard to argue otherwise.

Pathetic post.

I wonder if we will target a gun mid in the trade period. If we could somehow offer a role at the club to entice someone like Katie Brennan to join us. Next year will likely be our last shot and reckon if we can keep our core group together and add a good mid we can give it another shot. Our list is quite young.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Brennan is more of a forward isn’t she?

 

[Dylan12]

Pathetic post.

So you're denying that they're not chokers?

 

[Nunez]

Brennan is more of a forward isn’t she?

Her work through the middle looked great but to be honest I haven't watched much of her this year.

 

[Mayestro]

Is it a choke if the team you’re are playing has been better performed for most of the season? I think it’s slightly disrespectful of their achievement to get there in the first place.

 

[James North]

Gee how long were you holding that one in, Dylan?

Dan Merrett's defensive coaching no doubt lead to the attitude that caused the choking?

 

[Hollow Knight]

So you're denying that they're not chokers?

I think he’s doing the complete opposite of that.

Incredibly dumb post .

 

[winged1]

It was really a 5 min lapse in the 3rd qtr in a low scoring game. Not a choke.
