old dee 24,083 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Good timing 40 degrees predicted for Sunday afternoon. The game will be over at half time everyone will have past out. 1 Quote
poita 3,944 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Only the AFL would think it good practice to run the flagship female competition of a winter sport in the hottest part of the day through the hottest part of the year. Whilst some of the players would be considered elite athletes, a number are very young or in lesser condition. Surely there are OH&S issues in play here. I was at Casey Fields for a kids clinic a couple of weeks ago on a mid-20s day and it was seriously hot there. There is no shade and most likely no breeze. It will be a furnace on Sunday. Good luck to the players and those who are keen enough to attend. 3 Quote

Jakobsson forward threw me a little as with paxman in the backline. I actually like the womens game even if the skills are some what lacking but I can't question the endevour they show when playing. 3 Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,311 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Well done to those braving the sizzle factor today. Zanker BOG, Dees by 1. Edited February 2, 2019 by Dee Zephyr Quote
darkhorse72 1,943 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Looking forward to watch the match on TV here in the west. The game last night was of two very different standards. Pies didn't look good against a very young and new side. The other game was much better in skill. Quote

Not sure what kind of spectacle we’ll get today, especially if the wind matches the heat. The AFL must have a valid reason for not scheduling a Friday night fixture on opening round.

I actually thought the standard of Bulldogs vs Crows last night was a significant notch up on anything I've seen previously in AFLW. I hope our girls can match it! Quote
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Posted February 3, 2019 Great start for the Dees with the first 2 goals within 5 mins from Kate Hore. Quote
Deemented Are Go! 3,704 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Carn Dees! Looking good so far Quote
Deeman 1,551 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 First goal of the season to Newman! Quote
Deeman 1,551 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I’m not even going to start with the second goalkicker. Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,311 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Ahhh...those colours are so good. Very sharp early. Quote

Now while I did not watch but They scored three goals between them for the entire match, seems like the saga of ladies games continues to me. I did however watch the second half of the Cats / Pies game and it was crap. Just a series of scrums up and down the ground with the occasional kick going 40 meters. Those two teams have a very long way to go before you could call it a entertaining sporting event. Edited February 3, 2019 by old dee 1 Quote
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Posted February 3, 2019 Scores level after 2 goals to the Dockers. Dees have stopped. Quote

Demonland 74,431 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Posted February 3, 2019 Goal on the siren to Dockers. They lead by 5 points at quarter time. Quote
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Posted February 3, 2019 1st goal of the second quarter to Zanker. Dees back in the lead by a point. Quote
