Its always windy at casey and very hot right now, so yeah they might die.

Disappointing outing for carlton, I don't know why davey is being played forward when since last season we've lost Gillespie-Jones and Danielle Hardiman (to North, they both had a good game) and Maddison Gay to Melbourne. What do we do? take the only remaining backline anchor Davey out and put her forward where the ball wasn't getting to her.

I think north will be finalist and probably grand finalists given the list they have, it is a really stacked team.

Not having watched the game it seems to be kind of bizarre that carlton are pissing away having Vescio and Harris

Hey there be fair it’s not like they’ve had 2 seasons of AFL plus multiple women’s exhibition matches plus the entirety of the state leagues to work this out.

I've come around on the lady balls. The girls at my club prefer them for the most part, about a 70/30 split. They find them easier to kick and handle. I do note that the better players prefer the mens size ones tho, so maybe it sucks at a professional level but it's better for entry level players (which, imo, is the more important place to win hearts and minds).

We have no (established) midfield, can't get the ball to them, double so when Davey was up forward too, where she would normally helping the midfield.

I don't know why we traded her. Or at least didn't get a better pick for her... speaking of midfield.

Sweet. Me and my fam made up more than 0.1% of the crowd! Parking was shithouse if you turned up late, but it was a fun game and NOrth Hobart is actually a good venue for 16 a side AFLW, being a smaller ground.

Time to watch some of these games starting with Kangaroos Vs. Blues.

'Roos put in some phenomenal marks and passes, which is drat threatening when they have a frontline full of goal scorers. I'm not experienced enough to say whether the 'Roos are showing a disposal skill or if it's the blues just not threatening where they need to. Carlton's main tactic seems to be arguing with the umpires, which isn't working out for them at all. I don't know if the 'Roos are looking strong, or the Blues weak, or both. I will say that North Melbourne's frontline can definitely get it in the goal, but I have no idea what their midfield are actually capable of because it never looked like they were under threat by the Blues.

There are. The jlt series begin later this month, each club play 2 preseason games. One match per night for 3(?) weeks at suburban and regional grounds.

It kicks off Thursday Feb 28th Carlton v Essendon at Princes Park afaik. Maybe a game on the Wednesday night the day before.


Also, I just saw Warrick Capper at Doncaster.

Which would be ideal if they scrapped X as well.

They should just have a small hoop behind each goal that instantly wins a team the match if they can get it through, ala Blernsball. The AFL have created the footy equivalent of Blernsball.

What if the last five minutes of the match unlocked the multiball multiplier? Just throw out two more balls and let the players go nuts.

Please read the title of the thread, there is no mention of AFLX.

:getout:

A cool fact about the cats game this weekend:


Their first ever game in the VFL, Round 1, 19871897 they scored 3.6 (24)
This weekend their first ever game in the ALFW they scored 3.6 (24)

Teddy Rankin was a player in that inaugural geelong game in the vfl.
His Great Great Granddaughter Georgie Rankin was also a player in their inaugural aflw game.

They both wore #10

To be fair, the AFL's new model of "allow some 9 year olds to make up stupid new rules to infuriate fans" is superior to their old model of "allow Kevin Bartlett and Leigh Matthews to make up stupid new rules to infuriate fans".

Do you have to nominate the bloke who scores double points before the game? Is it the same guy for each game or can you change it?

These things are important to the integrity of AFLX, (and Gatorade, the thirst quencher.)
