Sorry, I think you have the wrong forum here, I have linked the women's netball website for you below

http://netball.com.au/

Now back to the full body contact sport of Australian rules football.

Your underestimating women in sport mate.

    Ha! Had never seen the old footage of roller derby. Can Guarantee it is nothing like that now, but it is still tough.

    Never really understood comments like this. None of the women I know that play high standard netball are even remotely soft.

    Its just netball is suppose to be a non-contact sport. True, I could have used another sport as a reference such as swimming, vollyball, cricket etc.

    How will the MFC ever win another flag if those players who play the game hard are not encouaged to do so by the supporters. True they can go too far by king hotting another player hehide the play or taking banned substances.

    If the tagging was too much for the boy he could have gotten off the field and let another player take his place.

    So why doesn't umpire protect Jones He is scagged every week and is blocked way off the contest illegally in my opinion

    The simple answer to that iis becasue it is Nathan Jones, he doesn't whinge or stage, he just hits the next contest

    Seems the MRP has missed Vince elbow to Sloans face.

    Seems that Adelaide are the only ones who think that what we did was illegal

    All players got away with a fine for the melee only

    Don't think the hit was actually that high. The replays indicated it was more to the upper body, and not the head...

    I was sure there was a reply at one stage that showed a Vince elbow to Sloans head. It was an attempt bump/sheppard in down low in a pack.

    Maybe not???

    Nice for once to hear that the MRP didn't see every little incident through our opponents' eyes.

    Was worried that TMac may have been cited for forcible contact with his body to Tex's elbow behind the play.

    Watching 360 now - Roos played a fairly straight bat to Walsh's comments but seemed a bit bemused by them. I have a sneaky feeling that Buckley is not a Walsh fan either. Said something about Scott Burns working with him in past and knowing what he's like - smirk on face and all.

  • Quote

    Sloane was on mmm rush hour this arvo and said in the past vince has actually played like that before and he played well and good on him for playing the way he did.

    But my worry now is this week the umpires will be watching vince a lot more closely and just pay free kicks against him.

  • Quote

    Roosy isn't so silly as to have Vince tag twice in a row. He'll give that responsibility to another player as the umps will be focused on Vince.

    I repeatedly have to correct the basketballer = sook shorthand that people here seem to get off on as well...

    I think I read P Dangerfield was drafted in the Afl Womens draft.

    No ... they rejected him for his soft attitude !!

    Just lazy and sexist, mate. Do better.

    Looks like Phil Walsh still gave Bernie a vote in the AFLCA voting.

    Heritier and Bernie both got 2, no one received 1.

    Edit: Logic flawed, I am probably wrong.

    Doesn't mean he got one from each. Couple ways that could happen.

    For example, If Roosy gave Bernie 2, and Roosy and Walsh gave the same player 1, there wouldn't be anyone on 1 vote, but potentially 3 players on 2.

    Depends on what the other votes look like.

    Hes a gun and he might be the only MFC player in our history to have 40 possessions and 3 goals in the same game (vs North last year)

    Anyone know if any other Demon has done it besides Bernie?

    Closest I can think of is C Sylvia v Hawthorn with 37 touches and 4 goals.

    Peel got a bargain.

    didn't the trapper rack up 40+ possessions in the kreuzer cup?

    Correct. I believe he also had 35 and 4 in that epic semi against Adelaide in 2002.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
