Should probably add AFLX under the "things to not care about" section. Also, here is an effortpost on AFLW I stole from reddit/bigfooty user not-drowning-waving/The Wookie The_Wookie, post: 53891207, member: 102372 posted:The 2018 AFL Womens season is less than 30 days away, with Carlton v Collingwood on Friday night, February 2 at Ikon Park.

snaeksikn posted:how come the crows won't have to cough up players to the other aflw teams? south australian bias!! Because the two new teams are in Victoria, given the draft pool is state based and not a national draft, Victorian teams get screwed and have to give up players. That being said, any players delisted by the interstate clubs (if they do a forced delisting of ~7 players again) could choose to go into the Victorian draft in a chance to get re-listed. The AFL might make one or two players head to Victoria from other states to make it a bit more fair, I believe the AFL helped pay relocation costs for Bella Ayre and Net Exon when they were traded to Brisbane for Tayla Harris, but I'm not 100% sure of that either. Hopefully with the re-negotiation of the payment contracts for the 2019 season means a big pay rise for players which would allow a national draft if players can afford to move interstate for 4 months. drunkill fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jan 9, 2018 |

Round 1 was the first time the women played with the size 4 ball (well and training i guess) but they adopted it in the VFLW season last year as well.

Brianna Davey is the new Carlton captain for 2018. Arnell is stepping down to be a vice captain along with Sarah Hosking. I guess it makes sense, Arnell will be turn 32 at the end of the season and might retire this or next year. This gives Davey some more time as captain while arnell is also playing and can be in the leadership group. Arnell has been doing coaching courses last year so I guess she'll aim to be in the coaches box and also still do commentary work for the ABC. https://twitter.com/CarltonFC/status/951360581096714240

At Eureka stadium. Its a good little venue. Summer footy owns. Probably 2000+ here. Pretty windy, scores were level at quarter time (1 goal each) and at halftime it is Carl 4.2 26 v Wb 4.0 24 Last touch rule is a bit weird so far, still not a fan. Umpires got one call wrong as it was touched off the boot but still awarded as kicked out of bounds. It has cooled down now, Breanne Moody fainted out in the middle, didn't seem to get hit. Walked off and had a blood nose from faceplanting. Looks like she wont play the rest of the match. Tayla Harris has a wonderful kick, scored the firat goal from 55 out into the wind. New carltom girls look good too, although Madison Gay is in the coaches box along with Jessica Hosking, wanted to see her play after missing last season.

Carlton won 8.8 56 v 6.4 40 https://twitter.com/CarltonFC/status/954655036608364544 What a good game. Scrappy in parts and pretty brutal at times with big knocks and a bit of a punch on which cost the doggies a 50m penalty infront of goal. Bulldogs were resting more players overall carlton were seemingly giving everyone half a game with like 8 on the bench. drunkill fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Jan 20, 2018 |

NTRabbit posted:Yeah the umpiring in AFLW remains pretty trash level These practice matches are using trainee umpires. The Carl v WB match had 3 goal umpires, who were rotating each quarter for turns. And they struggled with the last touch rule a bit too in a few cases, in one which is directly infront of me the ball was touched off the boot and bounced over the line, but was was still paid as a free kick because the two umpires didn't see the partial smother.

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 |

Holy poo poo this is loving excellent https://youtu.be/HMtI93aK97I NAB continues to kill it with their footy ad campaigns (despite them being a loving bank) and this is top notch work. Once again the sponsors of the AFLW do a better job promoting the women's competition than the AFL does. Speaking of... game day!

I blame the last touch rule for low scores. Changed momentum too often, no real chance to score from throw ins inside 50 etc. Also ot was loud for the players tonight, harder to communicate which will help for other games.

I think most of their ads are disabled because you'd just get people saying gently caress banks. Anyway... https://twitter.com/GirlsPlayFooty/status/959372040108044288 Yeah, this. Nice work AFL. Maybe modify the rule so it only comes into effect in the centre zone of the ground and does not apply when the ball is within either 50m arc. What would have been scoring opportunities in the pockets became defensive kick ins but from the edge of the oval instead of the goalsquare.

Solemn Sloth posted:One of the dogs have done an ACL and looks like Phillips is out for a second week. Keen to hear how Paxman has pulled up with her back injury Sarah D'arcy accepts a 2 match ban for kicking, Katie Brennan accepted a reprimand for rough conduct, no clue what it is though. And another injury for the crows ontop of Phillips is Courtney Cramey out with hamstring injury. Two very good players out, crows will probably miss the GF if they lose this week. But the big out for this weekend, Carlton coach Damien Keeping is in hospital for something, will miss the match, admitted to hospital Sunday night and no public statement of whats wrong yet. drunkill fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Feb 6, 2018 |

So the AFL are being poo poo again. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/je...1d22-1517981243 quote:THE AFL has sent an extraordinary memo, calling for AFLW coaches to adjust their tactics this weekend in order to reduce congestion. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/br...23daf2bbb35b935 quote:Carlton captain Davey on Wednesday said the Blues understood the AFL’s take, but declared that the players are “here to win games” and will do “whatever we need to do to get over the line for that particular game”. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/womens-afl/afl-talks-to-aflw-coaches-over-defensive-tactics-20180206-h0uxds.html http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...40c67ebca6b965d http://girlsplayfooty.com/2018/02/the-afl-has-no-respect-for-coaches-players-or-the-aflw-as-a-competition.html quote:... etc. So they've issued these 'guidelines' to follow and if they are ignored they might introduce zoning in round 3. Mid-season. Just gently caress everything up by changing rules and forcing teams to play a certain style of footy despite them recruiting a strong backline or whatever. If they introduce mid season rule changes this will also upset the results of the season since the first two games will have been played differently. Despite all of this 35 goals were kicked in round 1, 7 more than round 1 last year. drunkill fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Feb 7, 2018 |

Yes, although they moved a lot of games to the evening. They also reduced the length of breaks (because of the 2 mins of time on... yeah) and reduced the number of players on the bench, which could easily be reversed when quarters are back at 20min with or without time on.

Our captain is in a gay relationship with a teammate (from before they were both drafted), is yours? Also the lovely statement from the board was because they didn't get a unanimous vote (probably the old hag jeanne pratt voting no) but the team cares and pushed for this too, I guess. Anyway, gameday! Arnell has been dropped, zero touches last week and didn't run very fast. Might be carrying an injury or something who knows. It might be hard for her to get back into the side given there are no seconds to play in during the season. Dasiy Pearce wrote this good thing too: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/womens-afl/daisy-pearce-dont-wallow-in-aflw-negativity-20180208-h0vskb.html

Lightning delay at quarter time. Players are in the room, it is pissing down and then fox footy feed went to static and cut out, listening to ABC and you can hear thunder over the top of the commentary. Super wet game whwn it resumes. Fair number of people there too, some will go home I guess.
