Game Day AFLW R4 - Freo v Adelaide

[Clems Knee]

Only got here at quarter time, so missed seeing any Freo goals. The team battled on that quarter and really should have stretched their lead. Instead it's only a goal the difference.

Crowd much smaller than last game but still about 5000 I would say.

 

[Simmofreo]

I hope the crowds were not just interest in something new. I really want this to work the girls deserve it. Mind you if we were 3 from 3 I reckon it would be different

Damn is this what all the footy has been like?
I watch a lot of amateurs this is the lowest level possible like E3 level. Hopefully the skills improve next year or the girls comp will be gonski

Why? This is not commercial quality sport by any stretch of the imagination. I have seen far better standard colts games and they are lucky if they get a hundred people at their games, and certainly no television coverage. Do they deserve it any less?

This is purely and simply hype from the AFL and until the standard gets to the point where it's doesn't induce optical haemorrhage the spectator numbers will decline. Not disrespecting womens' sport at all, there is some womens' sport that is top class and well worth watching - this does not qualify in my books.

 

[Superkoops]

Dockers need to practice kicking, marking and handballing.

 

[freo1997]

Geez i know why there's no one on here...this game is terrible. Ive been in better skilled games against kwinana

 

[Ressies runner]

Sarah perkins longest kick in the competition-kicks it 30 m

 

[Freo Quokkas]

Mack Truck at full forward for the Crows.

Still...they have a 15 point lead. Thats like a 10 goal lead in this comp

 

[rgauci]

Geez went for a 15 minute drive. Left at 15-9 came back to 15-29. What the * happened that quarter? We had the breeze.

 

[Clems Knee]

It's my fault. Freo hasn't scored a goal since I got here and Adelaide have scored 4 goals 7.

 

[Ressies runner]

AFL really missed a trick here, should of had a year of serious training. Going to be hard to get viewers back once there gone

There's been a big increase in the number of girls signing up to play football because of this competition, so there's lots of reasons for it to be televised just there.

 

[freo1997]

It's my fault. Freo hasn't scored a goal since I got here and Adelaide have scored 4 goals 7.

Well ******* go home then

5k really? Looks more like 1k

 

[meima]

Well ******* go home then

What about going and out of the oval ? Will the score fluctuate.

 

[Superkoops]

Is the handballing legit. A lot of the girls from both teams toss the ball up before an attempt to slap or punch it.

I've been telling my daughter the wrong thing.

 

[Righteo]

Is Gemma Houghton injured? Just the two touches which is a huge drop off from her first couple of games.

edit- okay she actually has 5 wtf. Steph Cain and Ash Sharp have been very disappointing

 

[freo1997]

Fremantle women's team vs freo bigfooty posters.thoughts ??

It's a comp pushed by the AFL's corporate sponsors who expect the AFL to display a certain standard of gender equality.

 

[Ressies runner]

Umps must be using a different set of rules to keep the game flowing

 

[rgauci]

Wow. We are a rabble.
