It seems the new CBA failed to gain 75% player agreement.  Relationships are getting freyed.

AFLW dispute

CBA Fails

The good fold at the AFLPA do not know much about how to win women over:  The AFLPA stressed to the players on Sunday that “all members have provided us the authority to make decisions on their behalf.  As such we could have entered into the CBA on players’ behalf without taking this to a vote”.

How condescending!  Are they really saying:  "... we know what is best for you...just sign here..."

What's condescending about it?

 

"But in a leaked email to players, he accused some players of using "the media and an external legal organisation to conduct an aggressive and damaging PR campaign" against the association."

I believe he's saying that some players, and some clubs specifically, who are attempting to use the CBA as a bludgeon will suddenly find themselves with a signed and sealed CBA if their delays further hinder the rollout of season 2020.

The draft is in two weeks.  Pre-season can't be scheduled until a CBA is in place.  They are demanding a CBA that almost doubles the number of home and away games from 7 in 2019 to 13 in 2020.  Are venues even available for that?  Not to mention support staff (both club and ground), catering, television, radio, sponsors..

A pure power play that deservedly got hit with a reminder that not only are the vast majority of players happy with the proposed CBA but that such willful and damaging obstruction can and will be rendered void if necessary.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
