Women's Footy The AFLW Thread

[schmuttt]

Women are more prone to acl due to wider hips and the angle of the knee in comparison to men.

Also harder grounds at this time of year...

 

[mrmonkey]

That's true, well from my own personal experience the harder ground conditions contributed to my knee injury. There's no doubt a bit more give in the ground I could have avoided injury.

 

[saj_21]

It’s less about hard grounds than the fact women are built different to men.

Think the men have been playing as of 3 weeks ago if you include afl X. Secondly the women still play on quality grounds where water shouldn’t be an issue.

What an awful defence

What an awful defence

Yeah, was definitely surprised to hear they even tried that one.

 

[TheCount]

What an awful defence

Haha, what the hell? Surely you go for the fact that Cordner played the whole game etc ... but no ... they've gone the sympathy route ... can't imagine why it didn't work.

What an awful defence

Had to double check that this wasn't the loony bin thread

 

[dee_mac]

So in this game, Kat Smith laid a ripping tackle in the same fashion which also resulted in a free kick against for a "dangerous tackle". What's the difference?
I hate this ****ing rule btw. The fact that these tackles go beyond a free kick is beyond a joke. They're not even sling tackles half the time. Just a good tackle where someone's head hits the ground. The Dangerfield suspension last year was ridiculous. The sanitsing of this game is disgusting.

End rant.

Lawyer's from Slaters obviously.

It wasn't a good defence

Seriously are they playing the woman's grand final at 11.30 am ?

It is so the Brisbane fans can see both. So stupid they don’t play it in the weekend before round 1...

I get the feeling the afl are just making this up as they go .

Thought the appeal was better.

Thought the appeal was better.

Getting on knees and begging would have been better than their first attempt

First Appeal by KB: Would be unfair to miss because of what happened to the dogs and bob murphy in 2016
Second Appeal: AFL is being Sexist

Now time to go the human rights commission

Phenomenally poorly handled.

Regardless of if it is sexist, they're the rules of the league that you signed up to play in, so you need to abide by them.

They are going to equal opportunity commission , over the punishment . Something about a similar offence attacks a fine intend game but a suspension in woman's game . Reported on abc this arvo

Go Brisbane!

Says me a salty and bitter Melbourne supporter

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I find women’s footy to be so dangerous. They are fearless but I think a lot of the players get in really dangerous positions due to a lack of footy background and also lesser conditioning/fitness than the men. The AFL are going to have to regulate the game a little to make it safer somehow.

 

[jhong]

The way the game is umpired in General is pretty poor .

 

[Tempy Tiger]

There’s just so many contests where players are colliding heavily without protecting themselves. It’s more dangerous than the men’s game. I thought one of the girls had broken her neck in the last quarter. It looked terrible.
