You don’t actually believe this do you?the technical proficiency of the best female footballers is equal to that of the best male footballers.
No, I believe the whole statement, rather than your bastardised version of it.You don’t actually believe this do you?
And lost 7-0 to newcastle jets 15s...The Matilda's often play U/16 boys team because of the lack of local competition.
I can say pretty confidently that Fremantle/North AFLW sides would beat my local's ressies side. I'd say they're a step below the metro local league, country league or U18 comps, but would flog the vast majority of ressies and U16sNone of the options, it is improving and it is a good thing in general for football - but they are a long long long way behind. Not sure they could beat any organised male team because the skill level is not there yet to overcome the physical disadvantage.
Huh? Ok, if not including the formentioned is a bastardisation of it then I’ll pose the exact same question with it included.No, I believe the whole statement, rather than your bastardised version of it.
I believe everything I have said in this thread. And everything I've said is very clear, therefore I don't feel the need to repeat or clarify anything at this stage.Huh? Ok, if not including the formentioned is a bastardisation of it then I’ll pose the exact same question with it included.
You don’t actually believe the skill level of the best AFLW players is 80% (or 70-90%*) of the best in the AFL do you?
That’s fine. Regardless, I’ll still put the delusion into perspective.I believe everything I have said in this thread. And everything I've said is very clear, therefore I don't feel the need to repeat or clarify anything at this stage.
One thing that really appears clear to me is that while skills are improving out of sight, there still exists a huge gulf between the very best and everyone else.Pointless comparing any field based male sport to its female equivalent in my view.
I think AFLW has been improving in skill / footy nous and speed every year its been in existence and has improved again this season.
The Bulldogs' 2 games have both been interesting, relatively high scoring and have kept my interest.
Just hope they don't go past 14 teams any time soon.
Wow, Gary Ablett Jr = good player? Some rich football knowledge there.That’s fine. Regardless, I’ll still put the delusion into perspective.
Ablett Jr, Pendlebury and Sam Mitchell are widely regarded as some of the most skilled players of the modern era.
The best AFLW players are not at 70-90% of their level. Anyone with a pair of eyes can confirm that.
For a start let’s be clear here, all you did was copy + paste some arbitrary and blatantly incorrect article which displays no football knowledge on your part.Wow, Gary Ablett Jr = good player? Some rich football knowledge there.
No need for that sort of tone and frankly you’re not in any position to try act condescending here. That aside have no issue there if you can actually explain how any further onus falls on me when it was your point (albeit a copied one) that was called out, and it’s your point that you can’t justify.Please keep showing off your wisdom and tell us who the five best AFLW players were last year, what foot they prefer to kick with, and what their key strengths and weaknesses are.
Wrong.For a start let’s be clear here, all you did was copy + paste
Wow, so AFLW players being just as skilled as AFL players was just your own opinion?Wrong.
