How is Brendon Gale on the committee for the advancement of Womens football when he wouldnt allow the Semi Final to be played at a bigger venue to allow more AFLW fans to celebrate the match?

I dont have any stats on this but I would bet that our centre square clearances are higher when King attends cbas.

I can see her pushing forward after cbas with perhaps Rennie playing the kick behind the play and taking ruck contests in the back half.

I was talking about Randall being better up forward, but I agree with you on King being better at cba's.

 

[The Nostradamus]

We win the territorial battle but we need to convert this dominance. Having extra options up forward helps us achieve this end.

I dont mind Randall dropping behind the ball at crucial times in game ala Daisy Pearce.

I think we have enough forward to be able to let Randall go back to defence until Shierlaw retires

HF: O’loughlin King
F: Eddy Shierlaw Wall

Rennie rucking and rotating with King

and then granville coming off the bench as a small forward rotation

 

[DEVO]

Neither of those are KPD

You want height to replace brown like Randall

B: Ferguson Kearney
HB: O’Shea Randall Pullar

You do realize that Randall is 10cms shorter than Brown and around the same height as both Pullar and Shannon.



If you really want height down back, then you don't move Randall down back, you move Shierlaw who is a fraction taller than Brown and just as mobile and is also a strong mark.



Personally, I don't see the point of moving Randall down back, you are robbing Peter to pay Paul. Randall, Shierlaw and King with O'Loughlin, Eddey and Wall at their feet would be a formidable forward set up and cause headaches for all teams, including Melbourne.

But I will leave it up the Crocks and the coaching staff, they have another 5/6 months to work it all out.

 

[The Nostradamus]

She plays tall due to her jump but no I didn’t know that she is that much smaller

And it's her leap that makes her better suited to the forward line where she can go for her marks and if she drops it, we have the smalls to take advantage.

I'm happy to try Pullar and Shannon and may be Shierlaw down back before moving Randall. It would be nice if Randall could improve her goalkicking, may be she could spend some time with Larks.

 

[Crazy Horse]

I watched a bit of the VFLW game on the weekend and was quite impressed by Cassidy Mailer. According to the stats she isn’t particularly tall but she was still able to take a couple of very good contested marks. She seems to have the ability to take the ball at it’s highest point and she looks like she’d be hard to shift once she gets to the drop of the ball.

Looking forward to see how she goes in the VFL because she could become a decent option for us in defence sometime down the track.

 

[The Nostradamus]

the new Irish girl Martin looks so impressive I’d want her on the wing straight in like the other 2 Irish girls

Gatt one wing Martin the other. Serious speed

 

[DEVO]

I keep forgetting Hardiman is still on our list, good chance she may take Brown's spot in defence.

Ideally she doesn’t ever play

She’s the slowest footballer

 

[King Corey]

Randall is 173cm?

That can't be right?

I think it would shock a lot of North fans to find out she is that short, because as tZ said she plays tall, she has an amazing leap on her that gives her the ability to climb over most 6ft players. The Phil "Snake" Baker of the AFLW.

She looks tall though?! I thought she was near Emma King size. This was a surprise.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Chloe Molloy was listed as 161cm for like 5 years. Breann Moody still down as only 180cm.

Here's one I prepared earlier:



Even though they aren't standing in a perfectly uniform manner, it's obvious that the heights listed are highly dubious (or just plainly incorrect, in the case of Tahlia Randall).

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

I'm so glad that Crocker has made this coaching role his own and gotten these results after basically being a fill in when we couldn't afford our coach anymore.

You're a legend that's a great sample. She's gotta be in the 178-180cm range based on that.

Someone has reverse-Boomered her height on the profile.

But they only play 5 in the forward line in AFLW. 3 talls on the ground at once isn't really viable especially if one of them is as immobile as King

I think I might have an idea of who we might take hmmmm

Protecting your sources?

 

[Ligma]

Protecting your sources?

I’m just having a wild guess lol

 

[The Nostradamus]

I’m just having a wild guess lol

what position they play?

 

[Ligma]

what position they play?

Defender

 

[The Nostradamus]

Defender

Key position or small

 

[Ligma]

Key position or small

Not KP but she can play on both talls and smalls, great overhead.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Ligmas mail wrong

We’ve gone with a mid in Ruby Tripodi
