Yewww come on AFLW! so excited. Decided to pick up the doggies since the eagles don't have a side. Loving how tough the women are playing! Gonna put to bed a lot of misconceptions about women's sport. Anyone interested in WatchAFL streaming, if you use the coupon code PRESEASON17 then it's free until the mens round 1, including the women's coverage.

The handballing I've seen on display in the women's games so far has been considerably poorer than the mens, is that an upper body strength thing or because handballing is a more difficult thing that benefits from added years of training? Either way I'd expect that to improve in the next couple of years. I'd love to see the stats, but I feel like the handball:kick ratio has been much heavier on the kicking side than is typical. Generally the kicking has been ok though.

How tall are we talking? I noticed a lot of the players looked really short, would love to know the averages

According to some random website I found, in Australia a height of 190cm would put a woman in the 99.996th percentile, meaning only one in 27300 are taller. Only one in 445 women are taller than 182cm There you go. I'm 182 and very very rarely meet women taller than me, that explains why Fun to play with: https://tall.life/height-percentile-calculator-age-country/

Eagles lucky with some umpire calls, but mostly just held their nerve in the last quarter, and looked more fit tbh

Yeah don't get me wrong, suns played a ripper. In that form they could push just about any team. I genuinely hope they can keep it up, i feel bad for any team that has so little success

MARKING THE FOOTBALL It's a mark yo, not of his own kick, his kick was just a juggle on the way to marking the longer kick. You're allowed to juggle marks as long as you control it before it touches the ground or another player

cmndstab posted:How many times has North done that now in the last few years? It's staggering how often they manage to lose unloseable games in the last minute of the match. They said a stat during the commentary, only won something like 4 out of the 18 games they've been in that ended with less than a goal's margin (can't remember exact stat, but it was pretty damning)

Just watched the last quarter of freo Richmond... With one minute to go, I couldn't believe it was going to happen even though I knew the final scoreline. I'll never understand how teams can lose in this situation, why didn't Richmond have every player behind the ball?

Yeah gently caress the runners, I can't remember the exact game, but there was one game last year where I noticed runners guarding space on almost every single kick in, it was sooo obviously cheating, but technically within the rules. loving bullshit. Removing runners will make the game better, and simpler.

Fine, then change the rule so that runners are only allowed to be on the field for 1 minute at a time. If they can't get the message out that quick, they have no business trying to get so close to play
