Women's Footy Round 3, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

Happens often in the men’s and never called. They give a lot of leeway

In the men's it's explicitly a loophole.

Not sure if it's different for the women, given the lasso rule etc.

It has to be on the full (no bounce) for a free kick.

Oh I thought it just dribbled over

Agree.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Umpires making this hard to watch. Where was the free to Conway?

 

[Mayestro]

That was started by Anderson’s clean pick up and hot hands receive by Grider. Play of the day easily.

 

[Mr Ripper]

People who shun AFLW because of some perceived skill or scoring shortage are kidding themselves. Been some superb passages of play tonight.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

dang nice gather and pass to Orla. Also lovely finish by Orla. Good penetration in her kick thins year especially compared to last year

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Holy crap, I just realised we have 14.3 on the board, that's some score

 

[AFLQLD]

Ellinger has been excellent. Orla been great. Conway always lurking.

 

[Jivlain]

This is comprehensive!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Forwardline looks better somehow without Bodey and Wardlaw

 

[Mayestro]

Up to 4th on the live ladder.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Poll is up.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Final score. Lions 14.3.87, Swans 4.8.32.

 

[AFLQLD]

I think our game style stands up well under pressure. We were seriously outsized across the ground but it also meant that when we cleared to space the taller Sydney players were struggling to get there. They played much more of a one on one game using their height but we got numbers to enough contests to rebound effectively.

Great job by the midfield and halfback line. Even though one of their mids had over 40 possessions there just wasn’t really enough team-first running from them to make it count.

Swans ruck hit the ball over the boundary from a ruck contest. Free everyday.

Male commentator misses much of what's happening but it is probably a hard gig looking down at numbers for correct names.

She said pre season she was back early from Ireland and focusing on her kicking and using her right boot...yet to see it. But she has a lovely left.

Daks giving random BigFooty heckler the treatment

It has to be on the full so that's why it is never called.

Swans ruck hit the ball over the boundary from a ruck contest. Free everyday.

Was it out on the full??
If not, it is not a free kick.

 

[AFLQLD]

There were a bunch of the team who really made what I think was a collective decision to work extra hard, above and beyond, in the off season and into the early preseason. Regular strength and skills sessions together. Orla, Dawes, Tay Smith, Ellinger, Grider, Lily P and a few others. Seemed to involve a lot of core strength work especially and extensive skills, hand and foot.

 

[Section 5]

We easily accounted for Swans and Port, but they were the bottom 2 teams from last year.
Play North in Launceston this week and that will give us a better idea on how the side is placed.
Long range weather forecast for Sunday is cloudy 6-19 C.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Daks has been given a week suspension

AFL apologises after fans refused entry to Brisbane Lions match for wearing T-shirts supporting voice

Club and AFL CEO apologise after patron left in tears by a contracted security guard

www.theguardian.com

The lady's T-shirt in this article may be different to another lady also refused entry. Had the "Yes".
We could not work out why our entry line was so slow.
Then we saw a lady around 65 years old in distress because she also refused entry.
I mean visibly distressed shaking and trying to hold back tears.
We heard the security person being a supervisor called over stating t-shirt was political, and they had strict instructions on the policy.
He was polite but firm. The lady was being assisted by someone inside and 1 outside the gate.
We overheard she came by train.
I spoke to the supervisor and suggested the lady may be able to wear the shirt inside out as she also had a light jacket which would help.
He said no. I understood why he said no as the person could just swap it back, but she did not seem the type.
I also mentioned that the AFL and Lions AFL have put their support behind the "Yes" vote.
As this article mentions what if one of our players wore a similar t-shirt would they be refused entry.

I am not even sure if wearing a "Yes" or "No" vote t-shirt is political.
It is just asking a question of the Australian people.
Like a state referendum on daylight saving.

It certainly has become a political bum fight in Federal parliament though.
