AFLW West Coast Women 2021 - Discussion

[DanWCE]

Geez they’ve accepted it already. I’m stunned. It might have been the worst call to come out of the AFL today, and that’s saying something.

And that's her done for the season. Pointless tanking, were already getting the best pick

Not even mine, someone’s screenshots from a group chat that somehow saved themselves in my phone.

The AFLCA votes are much more interesting. Coaches had A-Mac best or second-best on, but disagreed almost completely on the rest.

It's like a cliffhanger with no resolution.

Absolute bullshit.

I seriously can't imagine this call being made in the men's game, what a double standard.

 

[Biggie]

Has anyone seen the footage?

 

[DanWCE]

Has anyone seen the footage?

I saw it live and replayed on the broadcast only last night. Are you looking for a snippet to watch it again?

 

[bUCKET__]

Sorry Swanny, we spent all the David Grace QC budget on Willie's case this year.

 

[RookiePick]

Disappointing.

The girls did seem to play with a lot more physicality and looked a tonne better for it. Hopefully this doesn't knock them off that line of play.

 

[Avalor]

Wow that is weak as piss. The girls commentating both said it was a fair bump and within 5m of the ball.

Spot on, it was just a fair bump. Nothing more to it, and should have been play on. No free kick - if it was the men's game, it would be play on, so why should it be different for the girl's game. As said, very wrong, and must be appealed. It's just nonsense.

Swanny has already accepted it, mate. I thought we were certain to contest it.

Yeah. Don't remember the incident.

 

[DanWCE]

Yeah. Don't remember the incident.

Cue up the game with 4:30 left on the clock in the last. I tried to pin point it for screen shots but it's difficult on my phone. Happens very quickly.

 

[TY24]

We’ve challenged some tribunal decisions we had no chance of overturning in the last few years - and THAT is the one we decide to roll over and accept?

Our approach to the tribunal baffles me.

fu** sake

Club don’t want to risk $10000 + Grace QC ‘ fees. Grace on holidays? I reckon they’d be doing something if it was McGovern or Naitanui. Poor messaging, double standard. Adelaide appealed and player got off. Liam Ryan has handed out bumps like this and no report. Fallen over like a limp sack of potatoes. Of course the player did what she was told.

 

[DanWCE]

T'be sure t'be sure

*edit* ******* Instagram links are failing me lately!

Anyway it's a video of the Irish girls doing a jig

 

[RookiePick]

Jesus Christ. It's a textbook hip & shoulder.

 

[WCE_phil]

Beyond a joke. It's the equivalent of a 5 week suspension in the mens league, there is no high contact and no free kick.

 

[Smeg Head]

High Impact, did Geelong kick up a stink in their medical report?

 

[jatz14]

What was the outcome for the Geelong player?

Maybe they are, as usual, punishing the outcome, not the act?

Their coach said she had a sore elbow but the bump was just part of footy and unfortunately she just didn't see the contact coming.

 

[The wily weagle]

Hang on a minute, didn't someone earlier in the WAFL season cause a head high hit to a GWS player that resulted in a fractured neck, and got off?

What. The. Hell

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Next minute, Korme to the midfield..

 

[Carbine Chaos]

It's a perfect hip and shoulder.

Absolutely pathetic by the club to accept the sanction.
