Interesting comments by Collingwood's coach re the Time-On rules.  http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/wayne-siekman-calls-on-afl-to-change-afl-womens-timeon-rules-over-manipulation-fears/news-story/be71a44a3d3e42bcc105b02e8470dab9

Essentially, because there is no Time-On when points are scored this is open to manipulation. His example was that a team can run down the clock by taking as much time as they like after the opp kick a point.  And it is an extra advantage if that team is in front and kicking against the wind.  Brisbane seemed wise to this last Sunday and took 30 seconds after points to kick the ball in. 

Hopefully the AFL change the rules but I doubt it will be in season.  In the meantime I hope our team is wise to this tactic

This is no different in using all the 30 sec when kicking for goal, then some players then pass it to another player who uses another 30 sec.

    Great win by the team tonight! Always beautiful to get a win over those pricks...

    I may be wrong, but did anyone else notice Meg grab her right hammy just before she lost balance and then got cleaned up?

     

    This guy?!?!

    My vision is impeccable  

    "Women’s football operations manager Debbie Lee said Downie, who suffered concussion during last Saturday night’s win over Collingwood at Ikon Park, had also ruptured her hamstring moments before being knocked out."

    The one reason to hope Collingwood make the finals - the possibilitiy of beating them four times in a season.

    The women's game has opened up a fun new kind of pre-season optimism!

    Love this , would be a beautiful thing .

    I am enjoying it at the moment but was not happy at half time, one thing i would like would be if our numbers were blue i don't like white numbers in a red back ( were not Sydney) same with the men, might just be me but just don't like it

    I've just checked the Champion Data scores in the Hun and I was amazed to see that Collingwood's highest scorer was their ruckman, King with 150 points.

    She scored this with 2 effective disposals, 0 marks, 1 clearance 3 tackles and 13 effective tap-outs.

    How on earth does that give her 150 points, 2nd highest of all players?

    Players of supercoach will know that an effective tap is one of the highest scoring acts. And 13 effective taps in 60 minutes is enormous - Max averaged that last season in 120 minutes, and he was far and away the highest in the comp. 

    I know an effective tap is 5 points for the mens game; but when you then factor in that the match is shorter, with fewer possessions overall, those taps would be worth even more than that, as the scores are scaled to a combined 3,300 across all players.

    I was working my calculation on the 5 points per effective tap-out and forgot about the upscaling to 3,300 points; obvious when it's pointed out.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
