State Of Origin - AFLW

[Lucifers Hero 39,817]

It is on this Saturday night.  Free Entry.  FTA on Ch7. 

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-31/take-no-prisoners-in-aflw-state-of-origin-clash

The Demons have two players in the Allies team:  Elise O’Dea and Bianca Jakobsson

We have four plays in the Big V.  including the Vic Captain, our Daisy.  The others are:  Karen Paxman, Melissa Hickey, Lily Mithen

Most on here are over football but it might be a good distraction from our recent debacle.

It would be great if the mods leave this thread on the main board so DL can be aware it and post to it during and post game. 

Should be a good spectacle.

Go Vics!

I really like the womens footy. Be good if vic win even though my favourite player is Elise O'Dea.

One of my favourites too! Go the Big V though!

Where's the crowd?

Was watching 360 last night and they were talking up numbers of 22k+.

Have they hired GWS's fans?

Very, very poor promotion by the AFL.  Free entry but no one knew it was on!

I thought it was pretty clear. 

The news even got to Perth!

Maybe fans not onboard just yet?

[Zoiikgarden 134]

Daisy top possession winner Q1.

Did you hear Debbie Lee:  "We don't get nervous, we get ready!"  Hire her!!

Perhaps they are waiting for the 'proper' AFLW season. 

Or else they are all lazy like me and watching it from my comfortable warm couch, rather than confront the freezing Melbourne winter/spring...

Cryptic?

She is an MFC employee...

...I get your point...have Deb rev up the men so that they turn up for the 1st quarter...

They are at the storm game. 

No I dont know, I mean a year ago they probably would have had half. I didnt think the crowd is to bad. 

But yeah I'm home watching it flicking between that and the storm. 

But seriously how good is Daisy? Just leads form the front and goes in hard. 

Its also nice to see the vic jumper on the field again. 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

Half time.

DAISY, I LOVE YA!!!!!!!

[dees189227 12,394]

Can we clone a male version of Daisy?

a true leader who just leads her team well, doesn't go missing, kicks goals and dominate a midfield. 24 touches and a goal in the  1st half

Its also nice to see hair buns on the footy field that don't look out of place. 

[Zoiikgarden 134]

Our Daisy!  and Paxman is eating them up too! Plenty of energy and commitment!

[Jibroni 5,004]

She is a gun, the standard hasn't been to bad either.

[Zoiikgarden 134]

That's the sort of win I like to see!  Dominate!

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,735]

Standard of play has definitely improved from last season.

Really good ball movement by the Vics. 

[Macbush 64]

We're so lucky to have Daisy representing MFC. She is all class.

[Dees_In_October 3,380]

Vics were relentless. Now that's how you close out a game!

I may have had my red-and-blue glasses on, but what I saw from the MFC players on both sides bodes very, very well for next season. As good as Daisy is, and she's a cut above pretty much everyone, the next tier on our list is nothing to sneeze at either.

A good friend of my wife's was playing in the AFLW last season and was courted by the MFC and one other club.  She 's been retired from footy for a couple of years, back cameback when the league got up and running.  The MFC were very keen on her signing on, but she chose the other club as the MFC had drafted a 'very strong team for the future' and she didn't think she'd get much of a run.  There's a lot to get excited about with our womens list.

The standard was better than last season. The skill level is a notch better, especially the kicking. 

Daisy was brilliant. Won a ton of ball, burst away from packs, hit up leading targets, chimed in with a nice running goal and was clearly the best player out there. If only we could have a male version of her in our mens team our midfield would be set! She's a gun and a great role model.
