Watching parts of last night’s game where North Melbourne gave last year’s premiers a whipping, I can’t see anyone else getting near them. How did they get to assemble such a strong side in no time?

    It stinks but they have been able to buy a flag ( presuming they win ) in their first year. Current clubs had to give north and geelong some players including a top ranked player. If the 4 clubs entering the comp next year can do the same the situation is effed. They shouldn't be expanding again next year or even for the next 5 years.

    Yep. Every other club was furious about how Norf went about recruiting. Says it all really.

    Well, I'll be there. It's going to be a bit strange barracking against a few girls I've coached. Any other QLD Dees planning on attending?

    We need to win.  We are in the strong conference group. Look at the percentage between the two.  Its seems to come out completely loop sided.

    If they had the same conference system back in the day when Mark Neeld was coaching us, we would have been a chance to make the finals.

    No we wouldn't...

    That Freo win against Collingwood has not done our finals chances any good.

    As others have mentioned there seems to be some disparity between the two conferences

    Very scrappy vs the pies last week.  Very clean this week. 

    There has been some really good marking, overlap play and short stab passes to position.  And our defensive structures are holding up really well.  For a change we have kicked more goals than points.

    It will be a good win and a very good percentage boost (if I haven't spoken too soon...).

    Well, that experiment didn't last long...the game isn't over yet. 

    I opened the thread from the main board and by the time I finished the post the thread had been moved.  I reckon regular AFLW posters are still watching the game...

    Terrific team performance today. I thought Pearce was best on, she was brilliant and dominant all day. 

    Bring on Norf, the only downer was Cunningham on report.

    The joke of the conference system is shown in the ladder.

    If this was the final round Carlton and Brisbane from Conference B would be playing in the finals (as the top two teams in Conf B).  Yet they are below all of the teams in Conference A.  Its embarrassing. 

    It was rather dumb of the AFL to put the last two premiers in the same conference and Melbourne as a recognised strong team in that same conference.

    It’s not a good look at all. Carlton won their first game in 12 months this weekend and are currently holding down a finals spot.

    I think they just need to make a few rule changes for next season and everything will be ok.

    So 'Lucifer', I haven't been keeping a close eye on this at all.

    How does the conference system work?

    For some reason I thought that conference A teams just play other teams in conference A then the top teams in each conference play off???

    ...but it seems you just play anyone????

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
