Gut reaction to that Hodder grab is it's gotta be Mark of the Year (which would make her the first to achieve the Mark/Goal career double--arguably Phillips and Antonio should've already done it), but I'll have to refresh my memory to properly compare it with the other contenders (I know there's been a couple very good ones).
Somebody remarked the only thing wrong with it was that Davidson was able to get up after it, but I personally think that's an insensitive thing to say.
This North v Port game is farcical as far as jumper clashes goes. Who is in charge of the AFLW again? Imagine the outcry if this happened in the AFL.
It was very hard to tell the difference at the ground when it was at the opposite end, but as a general rule north were the ones winning the ball and kicking all the goals, which made it easier to tell who was whoThis North v Port game is farcical as far as jumper clashes goes.

No one from below the top 4 can win the flag. The rest are that far off it their just making up the numbers. I hope now we see some improvement in the standard going forward, because most games are excruciating viewing. And please dont mention the umpiring standard. Big job ahead for the AFL.Mulling over all the machinations and I'm feeling pretty confident that, again, the best 8 teams will be playing finals, despite the fixture.
Ade, Melb, NM, BL, Coll, Geel and Ess have been the 7 best teams. There is a chance Collingwood plays well across the last 3 rounds and still misses out on finals, but it's hard to complain about that if it's the Suns or Saints (i.e. teams they lost to) taking their place.
Who is the 8th best team. At the moment, a good case could be made for any of Gold Coast, Carlton and St Kilda (none of whom are better than a full-strength Richmond, but that's the way it goes).
Yeah if a team outside the top 4 won it, that would be a freak occurrence. Unlike in the men's competition, where such a thing is common.No one from below the top 4 can win the flag.

I watch at least a half of every game. I also think if the umpires payed all the free kicks that were there the game would flow a lot better. And your lucky because North have one of the better teams, but you must admit that first quarter yesterday. OMG and then Port weren't competetive.Yeah if a team outside the top 4 won it, that would be a freak occurrence. Unlike in the men's competition, where such a thing is common.
I guarantee people who say stuff like "most games are excruciating viewing" don't watch most games. They tend to watch mostly just their own team, which is likely one of the clubs that score less than 35 points per game.
The injury list at Richmond is long and that’s probably pulling players outve preferred positions a little.Mulling over all the machinations and I'm feeling pretty confident that, again, the best 8 teams will be playing finals, despite the fixture.

Yes well, for a start, Yassir should've picked up her first nomination 1 year before your post, not 1 hour after it.The injury list at Richmond is long and that’s probably pulling players outve preferred positions a little.
Another problem the Tigers have with their list is that in the 44 games (thereabouts) the club has been playing in the league we’ve only had one Rising star nomination.
Elle McKenzie.
She is a wonderful player but we don’t seem to be really developing some young talent we’ve identified.
Maybe, Charlie Ryan…she’s been unlucky with an ACL in her draft year missed last season, had a soft tissue and now has glandular fever.
But she hasn’t been tested
Amelia Peck tall 21 yr old F/Ruck. Just suffered an ACL.
But regardless, one rising star nomination in 4.5 seasons isn’t very good.

I understand the point you make but I would like to see more 1st year players at Richmond and I mean footballers.The main difference there is Purcell and McNamara are on the rebound from major injury troubles, while the younger McKenzie and Ryan are still going through that.
Splitting hairs with Egan and Purcell.Ok make that two nominations, if alluding to the GC game last year.
Maybe.
Yassir has done some good things and and hope she stays healthy.
26 games seems a lot for a rising star though.

I’m glad Egan is back at Richmond I thought she was good watching her when she played with our VFL team before we joined and Jess Kennedy was captain.
But she’s not quite at Purcell’s level.
With her and Hanks to go with the 31 goals this season from Banner and Zanker I think it shows that the Tiges at their best are about a 6-10th team and need more talent.
Keely Coyne confirmed ACL.
