Women's Footy The AFLW Thread

[Supermercado]

If we don't make the granny this year then stinear must be sacked.

How we didn't at least make it in the last 2 seasons with the list we had, is beyond me.

No chance. Still no forward line. Prepare for another 50/1 inside 50 to goal ratio

I fear this may be correct. The first practice game didn't really instil any confidence in me.

Alrighty, Time to put your money where your mouth is. What line up we going with next weekend?

Feels weird with no Daisy

It really does ... meanwhile, did you see the video of her and Stinear telling the girls who are debuting? The poor thing is so big, there is no way life can be easy with that amount of babies kicking about inside your stomach.

Any number greater than zero - if Aliens has taught me anything.

I’m pretty sure everyone of a certain age suddenly reflected on that movie after reading Count’s post

Lily Mithen was interviewed on our show this week.

Interview starts around the 20min mark.

Norf look like the team to beat

Yeah true, but Norf are pretty stacked. Their rate of scoring scares me

Sod Norf.

Don’t care if they win 25 AFLW premierships in a row. They are still lolnorf

In case you didn’t realise - a Bigfooty widget just reprogrammed my last two words.

The conference system has all but killed my interest this year.

 

[PerfectFooty]

We might be ****ed in our conference, Contains both the undefeated teams in the league. Lose tomorrow and we are out right last in our conference

I’m with Daisy on this one. I’m not a fan of this system.

Can't think of many AFLW players or fans that where for it. Stupid idea by the AFL

It was poorly thought through. It’s kind of like the rapid expansion of the league got agreed first without regard for the scheduling. Then AFL House went whoops, because the competition length was suddenly not adequate and they came up with this. And judging from the surprised and displeased reaction, they made the decision entirely without consulting.

It's also stupid because you play teams from the other conference. Resulting in the whole thing being useless.

It's such a short season with such a short finals series it's baffling they didn't just go with a ladder.

Because they didn't want to extend the amount of rounds, which is stupid

Reckon the conferences were to get both Norf and Geelong in the finals. Typical AFL manipulation.

 

[Hotdees]

The best 5 teams might all be in the same conference .

 

[TheCount]

The best 5 teams might all be in the same conference .

I think even at this point, 3 games in, you can comfortably say that the best 5 teams are all in the same conference, I mean, Carlton are on top of Conf B, and yesterday they won their first game since the first season.

Going to make things a bit weird come the finals, and thats not even considering the fact that if they were played next week, we miss out with an extra win, and +70%.

Terry Wallace was talking about it last week, if they don't change it on the run (the AFL? never!) and cross the conferences for the finals - so if at this point, North would play Geelong, and Carlton would play Freo, the GF is going to be really ugly.

Congrats to Daisy and Ben!
