News Non-Crows AFLW 2023

[the universal]

A bit of a hard watch. GWS don't have a great deal of scoring power so it's particularly evident on a wet deck.

 

[brucetiki]

Surely Kelli Underwood would know it's last possession not last touch for an out of bounds free kick.

 

[ams4crows]

a goal either way here is almost the game the conditions are that bad

all the girls look knackered

 

[the universal]

Hate to say it but not sure the AFL need to bother with a highlights video for this one.

 

[cmndstab]

Obviously super low scoring but I thought it was a pretty gripping last quarter! (Didn't get to see the three before it)

Found myself pulling for Gold Coast, but it was nice to see Jess Allan get the win

 

[brucetiki]

Both teams played better than Richmond last night.

Channel 7 with the love in with Daisy Pearce

 

[NikkiNoo]

And here goes all the talk about the SuperMum. It’s not like there are other women who’ve had kids and gone back to sport!

They really used her as the poster child of the league believing she was the best Womens player out there for the last 4 years and one of those seasons she missed and she was still all they talked about.
If Erin Philips was Victorian or even is she played for Collingwood instead of us they would be so far up her ass we would barley hear Daisy's name

 

[Scorpus]

Personally I wouldn't have Daisy in the top 5 players in the competition.

Erin is clearly the best player by a mile

To be fair twins is a different kettle of fish but yeah the love in is on.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

How nice is North Melbourne’s guernsey?

 

[Rabman]

Daisy Pearce ain't even the best player in her own team let alone being one of the top players in the competition. Time for the media to stop over rating her.

 

[ams4crows]

thought Riedell from North had an excellent game, the wind really dictated who won that game

 

[ad victoriam]

Are the Crows and Brisbane playing to, going off the commentators one would think AFLW has rap up until Sunday,

 

[marvin]

I’ve never understood the bagging of Daisy on this board. Any sensible analysis of the AFLW has Erin as the best player in the league, but Daisy is right up there and a magnificent player in her own right.

I love watching both of them.

 

[brucetiki]

Nice to see St Kilda add some retro features to RSEA Park - from the thinly padded goal posts to the top of the goal posts being painted red, white and black.

 

[brucetiki]

RSEA Park at capacity for today’s game.

Ah come on. I reckon it's brilliant that she's had two years off, had twins and has fought her way back to fitness to play in an AFLW team. Gives a lot of hope to other female athletes. It's not Daisy's fault that she's been the poster girl for the league.

 

[radiojake]

yeah I don't get the Daisy hate

I like her

Atleast she is a legitimately great footballer and not an over the top narcissist like that Collingwood ex-Netballer who loves herself who is getting way too much airtime for what she has produced

 

[NikkiNoo]

They push like she's the only one to do it. They completely ignore other players who have also done it. Will they do the same for Jess Duffin next year/year after? That's what annoys me. It's the media narrative that ignores others over their favourite.

She's not a great footballer to me, she's a good one, but with the excellent midfield from Darebin being removed from around her shows up that she isn't as great as they proclaim.

Latest breaking AFLW news from the official website of the Australian Football League.

womens.afl

Another poor AFLW content piece, with the team of the week featuring 22 players instead of the 21 that actually play AFLW matches

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I must say I hoped for the standard of play in the AFLW after year 1 to improve. Based on round 1 , its gone backwards. Absolutely poor. Have they introduced too many teams as the player depth is low. Didn't they get a pay rise this year.? The public is being fooled.

Round 1 is ALWAYS scrappy... even with the fellas. Also... they've been playing for THREE years, how do you reckon the fellas looked after three years. Cut them some slack.

point is they have created a national football comp for women with no strong grassroots comps. Then the AFL have increased the size of the comp with inferior players coming in. The good players are good but most of the players are very ordinary. I would expect a slight improvement into the 4th season. The AFL should reduce the amount of teams imho.
