So many "this is why we can't win premierships anymore, we spend all our time on computer games!" and when Raz played a game against a pro there were lots of "great strat by the club, playing games rather than being out on the park practicing goal kicking". How do people not stop to think "ok I'm sure players are allowed to have some down time and don't train 24/7, and we haven't won a flag in 18 years, and the esports team has been around for 6 months, so it's probably not the reason we haven't been winning flags".

He was in the local paper the other day and apparently he is now coaching one of the country teams around Mildura. Can't wait to see how far south that goes, not sure if he is player coach or just coach. "Sylvia looking for a clean start after turbulent AFL career". From the article (bolding mine). AFL players can literally kill someone and people won't care so long as they can "get the W" huh. "The knowledge of the game and experience he can provide for 2018 at the Roos will be next level," Meringur coach Toby Quirk-Meeks said in a statement on the club's Facebook page.

demons have found some retro inspiration to replace their white clash strip i don't hate it at all, and its the same jumper as my first footy club the aranmore cardinals the dees will also retain the redback strip they picked up from the womens team, marking a rare occasion where all 3 of the clubs strips are pretty sweet. plus we've had a good record with the indigenous round jumpers as well on top of that. snaeksikn fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Jan 22, 2018 |

Channel 7 being dicks https://twitter.com/Lyndzzz/status/955365919273844737 quote:Less than two weeks out from the start of the second AFLW season, it’s been confirmed that the majority of the free-to-air telecasts of AFL Women’s matches will be shunted by the Seven Network to one of its secondary channels, 7mate. They got the rights for free, are only airing 1 game a week nationally (two in SA and WA) and have decided to bump it to the secondary channel. Last season it only cost them staff wages to broadcast the matches and they got a shitload of free advertising dollars. This season with most matches in the afternoon or evening they're all in even better timeslots for broadcast. Hopefully another network bids for aflw coverage rights when they go up for auction in a year or three. I mean, the ABC could have used that $30m government bribe to Foxtel to 'help promote womens sport' and aired the aflw instead. Watch them air a cooking show instead or a saturday night movie with ads every 4 minutes. drunkill fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Jan 23, 2018 |

Was about to say that even in Victoria, a bunch of games end up on 7mate for whatever reason; outside Victoria that's the main channel for AFL afaik.

This season with most matches in the afternoon or evening they're all in even better timeslots for broadcast. Blame the AFL for giving 7 the rights for free? At the end of the day they are a Ch7 commercial entity and if the viewership numbers don't stack up then it makes sense to push them to 7Mate. That person on twitter is ignoring that WBBL games are all held in the arvo, not primetime like many AFLW games. Also, her quotes about viewership figures have holes in it. She mentions viewership in the first two rounds (500k then 350k), then suddenly quotes round 5 when figures were 200k? What happened before then? It sounds like the viewership may have dropped significantly up to round 5 and then the call was made to move it to 7Mate...

The secondary channels get way less ratings overall and it will definitely have an impact on the potential ratings of the AFLW. Channel 7 probably want to see if the ladies games ratings hold up on last year, and if so, are the projections enough to justify putting it on the main channel or would they be better off playing old reruns of Frasier.

I hate to admit it but I've found it almost impossible to get into AFLW without having a Saints team to follow. It's just not the same when you have no skin in the game.

At which point the win count resets and it instantly starts all over again. No off season, only football. All the time.
