AFLW AFLW 2022 - general discussion

Did he turn things to much upside down in the last quarter, conceding 4 goals and a stack of %

Based on the first three quarters, we were likely going to concede 4 goals anyway. Melbourne kicked 10 goals from 26 shots so it could've been a lot worse.

We had to try something different in the last quarter anyway, it would've been irresponsible not to.

I've only got Gold Coast winning one more match so don't think it will come down to percentage. Just got to win 2 of the last 3.

Have to admit the pride Guernseys look good this year. Normally hard to make anything good with our colours when it comes to custom styles for indigenous, pride rounds etc. Pretty much looks like a pastel version of our regular tops.

Yeah I reckon the pride guernsey looks fantastic.

They look excellent. Really innovative, but still maintaining the colours.

I'd be open to it if they were a permanent main or secondary guernsey. Some are melting because its "not our main colours" But who gives a sheet honestly. It's close enough and looks good.

Absolutely love the jumper. My partner of seven years is a trans woman and the level of hate she gets from big chunks of society is heartbreaking. Seeing an open show of lov and support like this makes both of us smile.

Also it's an elegant and simple remastering of a Dogs jumper that's both appropriate and lovely for pride round.

Aaaaaaa i love it

I'm a trans girl myself and holy s**t I'd thought I'd never see something like this happen

I love this club

Does anyone know if the clubs jumpers on the store page are unisex? Or are the mens and womens ones both designed specifically shape wise for each figure? Would be open to buying the current new one if it is unisex/fits all.

We have Cotton On as a sponsor?

We have Cotton On as a sponsor?

Sadly all teams do. Hopefully this changes with the next contract.

Posted this in the "What They're Saying" thread but it's worth posting here too.

Good article. It's an insight into NMD but also what it means to be a semi-professional AFLW footballer with public expectations of professionalism.
Other angles in there too, like the importance of Pride round, how the club is now trying to do its bit to help, etc.

If you follow AFLW, especially the WB side, it's definitely worth a read.

Night shifts and exhaustion: why nurse and AFLW player Nell Morris-Dalton isn't afraid to speak about gender equality

When the AFL brought the current season forward, part-time athlete Nell Morris-Dalton's delicate balance between work and footy was thrown into disarray. She describes reaching breaking point, and why she's a passionate and unapologetic feminist.

Wow big effort!
Nell is one of the BF sponsored players this year

 

[MYOB]

We could be back in the 8 tonight, without having touched a footy.

Unfortunately she has been dropped this week. She will be gutted.

Snell comes in

 

[MYOB]

We are back in the 8 with GC dropping 18% tonight.

Dogs 90.6%
GC 80.8%

Hopefully we can gain a bit of % tomorrow

 

[Slack Nang]

Proud of this club. What a great jumper. Hope they make it in fat, drunk middle aged size. Now hat Bob Jane is no longer sponsoring us I wanna rock some AFLW gear

Strange decision? Using Nell heavily to promote pride round and then omitting her from the team? Not sure that I love that

[Mantis Toboggan]

Doing much better after a poor start

 

[Fossie 32]

Two Wilburs and a touch on the line brings us up to 13

 

[MYOB]

Dominated that quarter everywhere except you know what.

 

[Testekill]

Xenos looked pretty apologetic about that tackle, looked like she didn't mean to dump Lamb like that.

Or she thinks that she's missing a game, one of the two.

 

[Testekill]

I see umpiring hasn't improved, seen two big missed calls against the Saints there.
