I have mixed feelings about this AFLW season. Obviously I want us to win, but it would also be pretty rough on Daisy for us to miss out on the grand final by percentage two years running and then do it when she's having Daisy Junior.

Does it crush your soul that Melbourne has been denied the opportunity to add another glorious ALFX trophy to the premiership trophy cabinet?

Nope because to me it means we are still reigning premiers

Good write up, only qualm is you mixed up our finals, it was the one against Geelong that we went 5-0 in the first and basically stayed at that distance, hawthorn was more of a grind with help from their inaccuracy

cool.

nice and great, awesome.

Real glad we picked him up. So now we need replacements for both Docherty and for Bugg, nearing the end of pre-season.

The Crows women seem to have an abundance of players who are good at getting to the ball but have absolutely no disposal skills. All they're good at is winning it and blindly bustling it forward, regardless of whether a teammate is there to receive it or not.

Cant wait for the salt when they all collectively go back to moggs creek

Erin has a kid on the way. Does that affect her ability to play at this early stage? I know very little about this.

I had assumed her partner was carrying again like with the twins. I don�t know that you could play a full contact sport at any stage of pregnancy tbh

Love both our teams ability to leak goals in time on, it's just great.

Also both teams are going to be dead at the end of this game.

If Gaff is playing in this, can he punch someone in the mouth again and not increase his existing suspension because this isn't official competition?

Is Toby Greene playing?

Nup, any suspensions incurred in AFLX are served in the actual football season

In a wholly stupid situation, if this is true, it becomes the absolute dumbest thing.

Can�t have your All-Star game cake and make it count, too.

No, this is pretty much the only sensible thing about the whole of AFLX. If you break someone�s face in AFLX you should be serving a proper suspension.

AFLX with players being selected by team captains and at the end of a pre-season shouldn�t ever be taken that seriously. There�s a reason there aren�t major injuries in the NFL�s all-star game, and it�s because the players know it�s for fun.

Which makes it even worse if some lunatic breaks someone�s face while everyone else is having a laugh (and getting paid more than aflw players)

BrigadierSensible posted:

If you are playing AFLX so angrily that you punch someone, or even if you care so much as to put in a tackle high, hard, and/or dangerous enough to injure someone, then for sure you deserve to lose regular season games.

But to do that you would have to be so dumb, and so much inflicted with "white line fever" that the good blokes(tm) who are the captains would probably not pick you on their team. Luke Hodge notwithstanding

Our generation�s Jeffrey Dahmer, Andrew Gaff, was also selected

If the MCG finally has test status revoked they could push the start of the men�s finals to October and get another few weeks free for ~~AFLW~~ an expanded AFLX tournament

Yeah, this was my conclusion too. Every time a new club gets added to the comp that isn't Port, the Crows' position in the comp becomes relatively stronger since our draft pool remains the same as before while the other clubs in the new club's state all become weaker..

And yet you all loving whinge about there being ten Victorian teams in the men�s, smdh
