'Belting' is a bit hyperbolic. It was an open handed shove in the chest.

Nine thou, apparently. Most of the crowd was on the non-broadcast side, I'm not sure how hot it was in Sydney in the sunshine but it's like... well, it's OK for what was basically a weird experiment.

Was glad when the Carlton-Brisbane AFLW game came on because it was like the goals actually had to be earned! Slow start but it got better.

We miss set shots from 20 out and drop uncontested marks in the goal square while freo just dob a goal in from 50 out. Cool.

What a weird weekend of footy.

Good to watch, but I think we only really have a chance against the dogs next week for a win, with davey out we'll get owned by the crows over there, Melbourne here we'll probably lose and freo over there to end the season which we don't travel well, winning our first away game last weekend.

Although two of those 50m penalties were bullshit and resulted in Brisbane goals (well all 3 50m penalties did) last night, they were still the superior team until that surge near the end by us.

Comp looks a bit more even this season. The Adelaide Erins still maybe in with a chance, with no team more than a win ahead of us now.

Yeah, three weeks in and no team is undefeated, and only one team is winless. Very even.

That said, I did have to laugh at someone commenting that the Crows are only "one win plus percentage from top spot". Yeah, if we could just literally double our percentage in our next win, we should be good!

Hearing from some sources that the Bulldogs literally flew in the morning of the Sydney tournament, had our only AFLX training session 45 minutes prior to the first game and went to the airport as soon as our second game was over

Yeah but you didn’t name Jack Watts captain so there’s something to be said for that.

I think the women’s team losing hits me way harder than the men’s team because I actually still have some hope for the women.

Can't really blame them. I guess with the Lions it was like "let's actually try to win something" but they ended up with a big X that looked like something you pick up at the Reject Shop.

I hope they don't do it again because it's taken out the first week of the preseason where the teams would play around the country.

The AFL cracked the shits at the Eagles for playing too many kids/not enough stars, and point to Freo who at the time had named Fyfe in the team. The Eagles laughed in their face and said 'as if he'll actually play', and sure enough...

The clubs think it is a huge waste of time, money (and pending injuries) players, and the decision by most of them to name very few star players was a very deliberate 'gently caress you' to the AFL.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Another thing, that I am sure has been said about AFLX is how stupid it is to be running it during the womens comp.

A womens comp that is building steam, building popularity, has athletes that are taking it seriously, and are having a crack. Instead of focusing on that, the AFL decides to spend it's marketing money, and tv time, and efforts on a bullshit hit and giggle that nobody cares about and is over in less than a week.

While it is pretty bad from a design perspective and also abhorrent in terms of the classic style and theme of the club and guernsey, it is a great gesture and really cool for those it means a lot to, including a whole bunch of our female players.

It is the logo from the official lgbti supporter group Carlton Pride but applied to the jumper and with this years 3d effect on the monogram for the women's team.

Yeah that sucked but the board was only going to support it if it was a unianimous decision according to our president, we still basically said yay equality and strongly urge people to vote yes, just without saying it outright.

I bet it was Jeanne Pratt (the old hag) who vetoed the board on that decision. And Judd joined the board the next month. But we have the Victorian equal opportunity commissioner as a boardmember, so I bet she was pushing for us to support the yes campaign.


Anyway... here's this grouse kid
