Non-Crows AFLW Chat 2025

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Carlton v Collingwood fairly even so far

Carlton v Collingwood fairly even so far

Pretty sure collingwood had an extra on the field at one stage, one girl came to the boundary winded or injured and stayed on, another girl came off and two went on, the girl winded, didn’t end up coming off.

1st half of the Carlton/Collingwood game was decent, unfortunately both teams true colours came out in the 2nd half and it turned into a mediocre team versus a poor team.

This current game actually had the potential to be an ok match too unfortunately it isn’t because of early season rustiness & also Gold Coast’s injuries which means they have far too many players out there that simply shouldn’t be/aren’t ready to be out on an AFLW field.

Mentioned last year after the first quarter of the game West Coast played against Port that Ella Roberts played the best quarter of football I’d seen in the comp’s history, she almost matched it again tonight. Seems to always start games ridiculously well.

I must say, our club is doing a lot right at the moment

Excellent appointment

Yep, my thought also on hearing it

Lol at GWS's Eilish O'Dowd with an electric 50m run in the wrong direction, including getting a 1-2 from a confused teammate, multiple bounces as she ducked and weaved around Essendon forwards before ending up alone in her defensive 50, realising she was going the wrong direction, and then sheepishly turning back around again.

Hawthorn up by 9 points at half time against Brisbane. Wouldn't be upset to see them knock the Lions off!

It will be interesting to see which of the second tier teams step up this year.

Melbourne currently smashing St Kilda by 60 points… does that shine a light even brighter on that Crows performance last week?

Yeh, Crows are far from it. Crows play a heavily congested/contested game. They don't have enough run and carry players.

Sydney are looking really good. They have Molloy and Ham back this year. Morphett is fit and with the addition of Zippy Fish, who has been incredible so far, they could do well. They also have a pretty easy fixture as well.

Looks like I have to keep an eye on this game Saturday

Hopefully we can get her back home at some stage!

St Kilda lose to West Coast, our loss against them is looking even more concerning.

 

[cmndstab]

Somehow it had escaped me until now that Mules-Robinson is now captain of Port Adelaide!

Good on her She always was a heart and soul sort of player.

might somehow end up an even worse AFLW coach than he was AFL coach.

Saw a bit of the Cats-Swans game earlier & I know there’s a long season still to go & they only fell over the line in the end but I really do believe the Swans are a decent chance to be the other team in the Grand Final with North. There’s a call that could backfire

With Ham and Molloy back from longterm injuries, Morphett fit and the new addition in Zippy, Sydney are definitely a real chance.

Decent players across every line, they have the big guns like Molloy, Ham, Gardiner, Morphett and Fish, and I really like Sofia Hurley off half forward, she’s a super player. Short 1 key forward I reckon but they play a real different system up forward with Molloy and Ham rotating through.

They honestly remind me a bit of the 2019-2022 Crows how they play, was even mentioned by Harford on commentary today that Molloy is copying the old Erin Phillips role.

Port Adelaide with a lazy 11 goal win over Gold Coast, just a week after they (Gold Coast) were dismantled by 14 goals by Sydney.

Going to be a looong season for them. What has happened to them? A couple seasons back they looked alright.

They got rid of a few of their experience players post 2023 and it seems to have totally backfired on them in the seasons since. Lots of injuries this year so they have that excuse, strangely though as well as being the smaller club in a non-traditional State they have lots of parallels with GWS in terms of performances, one good year in their history and the rest very mediocre/poor.

Collingwood just fall short against Melbourne, had a shot on goal after the siren to win the match but hit the post.

Are Collingwood good again? Melbourne have been torching sides.

Barnett also had a shot to tie it up, but ruck are such terrible kicks. Was nowhere near it.

Conditions were a bit slippery and one of Melbourne's best in the first quarter (Heath) went off with a HIA at qtr time and never returned. There were some non call umpiring decisions which I felt should've been incorrect disposal or HTB as well, which might've led to a bigger victory.

Collingwood definitely looked better than usual though.

North just beat Freo by 100 points without their best player (Garner injured in early second). Safe to say, they've only gotten better from last year.

Yeah, North are most likely going to be undefeated again this year. A mile ahead of the rest of the competition.
