Women's Footy Grand Final 2018

[jdz101]

If we can keep Brennan, Blackburn, Kearney, Conti and Izzy together it's going to be seriously scary for other teams. That is a recipe for a dynasty. Does any other team have that much star power?

She should be a marquee player if she does well in the
W awards next week, maybe Brennan needs to step
back from marquee status to concentrate on her
gender discrimination issues !

Stop being so ignorant.

Now we just need to hold the team together from being picked a part by the new teams over the next two years. Genuinely believe we can win multiple premierships with this group is we hold the majority together. Blackburn, Kearney, Brennen, Conti, Huntington, Scott, Lamb should all be part of the list of untouchables. Unfortunately the women's game doesn't pay heaps, so our fringe stars could easily and understandably be lured to another club for money as their marque/top end paid players

What a magnificent achevement by our wonderful women's team.

Bloody thrilled and proud of all of them, was fantastic to be at Princes Park yesterday.

Ellie Blackburn and Monique Conti, unbelievable yesterday. Was great to see Katie get up and lift the cup.

Well done girls, you did our club proud - I hope all of us are getting right around them.

Premiers!

At least with the points system scrapped, it's not an inevitability. She can choose to stay if she wants. A flag could prompt her to leave or stay, who knows.

Will we be the last AFLW premier ? I could see some
meetings being held at AFL house on Monday after
some of the goings on last week and some questions
being asked. Let us hope not.

Quite a few men who hate AFLW would be hoping so. But, you're not one of those....are you?

Ludicrous. We might be the last Premier, but only if no one were to ever beat us ever again.

No DexterTan, I am a huge fan of the girls, i even had
a look at the NTFL women's grand final played between
the Wanderers and the Darwin Buffaloes. I thought the
whole farce of the appeal last week went against the
simple acceptance of the rule of law which was signed
off by the players and designed not to impact too
harshly on them in a financial sense. To open up the
issue of gender discrimination in a competition that has
been going for two years would have shocked the AFL.

I wrote this simple poem in the media thread :
I went to Katie Brennan's gym,
To do a workout was my plan,
But she told me to get out,
Because i was a man.
Now i must clarify that i actually never went to her
gym because it is a ladies gym and i respect that
she has the right to have rules and i as a man have
to accept those rules, i have never trained at fernwood
either. Now i realize this is a subtle point, but i hope,
1- That you get it. And
2- That i am not judged as a sexist for making it.

I would think Gordo put her up to it. I like it whenever anyone sticks it up the AwFL but really think [appeal to the HR Commission] this was a bit much. The AFL won't be too fazed by it so it will be play on for the Ladies

Gordon explained that today in his interview. Something about it being a prerequisite to them going to court or something along those lines.

Congratulations to the four girls who made the All Australian
team tonight :

Hanna Scott : Half back goddess
Emma Kearney : Midfield goddess
Brooke Lochland : Goal Kicking goddess
Ellie Blackburn : Utility goddess

Bad luck to Monique Conti and Libby Birch, but well done on
making the initial squad.

Mon Conti not making the team is crazzeee

Mon Con is a gun, but the team picked oozed class. So much so
that Ellie Blackburn was on the bench. Every team has a few
players that just ooze class and Conti oozes class and she will
not have to wait long for the accolades to flow.

Western Bulldogs midfielder Emma Kearney has been crowned the 2018 AFLW best and fairest player at the W Awards on Tuesday night.

Kearney finished with 14 votes, five votes ahead of Fremantle's Dana Hooker, Chloe Molloy and Courtney Gum, who all tied for second place.

Fellow Bulldog midfielder Ellie Blackburn was next on the leaderboard with six votes.

The win capped off a remarkable individual season for the 28-year-old who led the competition in disposals, averaging 19.6 per game, in rebound 50s with 3.6 per game and ranked second for inside 50s (3.9 per game) and clearances (5 per game).

Kearney was also named in the AFLW All-Australian team alongside teammates, Blackburn, Brooke Lochland and Hannah Scott.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Hopefully she can translate her success to the Melbourne Stars as well.

Come to think of it- a lot of our team play other sports very well.

Lochland, Conti, Birch, Spark come immediately to mind.

LAP OF HONOUR
Following the AFLW premiership triumph of the Western Bulldogs women’s team last Saturday, the team will be recognised in front of the Bulldog faithful at this Sunday’s AFL home match against West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

As part of the recognition of the Bulldogs’ AFLW premiership team, the women’s playing group will complete a lap of honour at half time, handing out footballs to lucky fans as they make their way around the ground.

To ensure AFLW members that followed the women’s team on their premiership journey can be there to join in the celebrations, they will be able to scan in for FREE general admission access to Etihad Stadium, by using the barcode on the back of their membership card.

A dedicated AFLW members bay has been created for this Sunday’s match, located at Level 1, Aisle 44 that AFLW members can access by showing their membership card at the aisle.

This dedicated Level 1 bay is strictly limited, and once at capacity, members will have access to Level 3 general admission seating.

Congrats to all winners. Also Brooke Lochland was the leading goalkicker this season with 12 goals, but there was no mention of any award being formally presented on the night, in the article or on the AFLW social media platforms, so thought I might as well mention it here.
