Universal Love Hawks win the 2024 McClelland Trophy!

[tl92]

One more win for the $1m

 

[wahawk]

We move a little closer with a 6 pt win over dees

 

[Rookie Error]

They get a draw next week they get the $1m also

The rules are the rules Kate, you can’t go changing them when they suit you.
And they’ve been the rules since 1951

"I know it's home-and-away wins and losses, and I know I'll cop this because I'm a Brisbane Lions fan and I'm one-eyed, but I find it really strange that you can have two teams potentially win the premiership in a calendar year, still not win the trophy."



It’s always been a trophy thats awarded for the best performing club during the home & away season, not a finals trophy.

Kate must have been really perplexed when Collingwood won it in 1970 despite none of their sides winning a flag that year.

No pressure girls!

It’s good they have a 9 day break ahead of the final h & a game to refresh. They were looking pretty tired. Like everyone has been saying the compressed part of the fixture has impacted all of the aflw teams this year.

Tiger will play in Darwin under similar condition to us in Cairns. Two days less rest.

I think if the Swans beat the Lions today which is unlikely looking at the ladder then the Hawks get the $1m today. Otherwise a draw or win next week will be needed against the Tigers or the Lions losing to the Saints

Yeh that Melbourne game looked like a real struggle. Couldn't get our game going at all in the last half. Also, playing in Cairns is absolutely sapping

So if they are equal on points? A draw seals our top two spot in AFLW

 

[eldorado]

I think we are 6 points ahead, because the AFLW wins are worth 8. Men Brisbane ahead by 2, women Hawks ahead by 8

Win or draw for the girls would guarantee it.

A draw seals top 2 and the trophy because a draw is worth 4 Mcclelland trophy wise in aflw (and a win 8)

 

[FB19]

Wouldn't surprise me if the men pass the player payments to the AFLW players, given the difference in renumeration, and in the spirit of club building.

What does redoing the numbers have to do with anything? Dougie???

It does say in the article that he said "in the years to come".

The trophy has changed formats with loss of under 19s reserves etc. but I’m fairly sure it has never included finals

So Craig, the award for ‘best team’ is actually the men’s and women’s grand final winners

AFLM get $1.2M for winning the grand final. Further $1.1M split between the finalists.
AFLW get $1.1M split between the finalists. (Couldn't find GF $$$)

Go away Brisbane. No one else has ever complained about it.

Especially as it's still a live contest
