Anyone watching Swans v Pies?

I hope the medicos have best-practice diagnostic and management skills for insect inhalation...

Serious note: Initial thoughts on the level of this season's skill and game plan improvements? I'm expecting 'noticeable' in both, and a challenge for our girls to keep up, having been leaders in pretty well all the previous seasons.

Both teams pretty rusty. Plenty of endeavour but quality lacking so far.

As the same as the men's I hope essendon & Collingwood lose.

This game has been good, Molloy is a superstar & they have kicked away from the pies. 

It has got a lot better, higher scoring, better use of the ball & better marking.

The pies girls must have been watching the men because one of the girls took out a swans player resulting in a mellee 

 

 

big 3rd quarter from sydney. much better ball movement, taking i50 marks and converting

Swans can mark the ball. Filth can't. Therein lies the difference. Best part of game has been the dust up.


Eagles haven't been much chop since coming into the comp.

Best of luck Daisy. I think you'll need it.

 

looks like the hometown umpiring applies to the Eagles ALFW team as well as the mens. Tiges getting reemed by the umps here.

Possibly not?

Though...Richmond.

And (un)officials.


Eagles with all the run. Tiges off the pace.

Daisy looking good here for first coaching win

Daisy got her first win... but with a young side they'll have trouble running out games against the more established clubs.  but a win is a win for her.

Well done Daisy. 

...and well done for passing the Cameras On The Coaches Fishbowl Test. The game threw everything at her!

I also wanted to say well done to Daisy. 

Doggies miles off the pace today. no decent senior players other than Blackburn. Going to be another long season for them by the looks of it.

Some 'ouch' scores unfolded and unfolding today. AFL/W might have some equalisation challenges ahead of it.

...and we have all 3 of today's 'killers', and only 1 of the 'prey', in our 'side' of the draw...

One hour to go and I can't find the gameday thread.

Here's the AFL site link, for what it is worth.

I'm staggered The Corporation has made such a bollocks of AFLW again. It is almost as if there's some kind of disrespect for women in the AFL-Channel 7-Herald Sun nexus.

It’s a shame the Cameras are not on the other side of the Ground at GC

Nobody is in the stands. 
Saints are playing well

 

Westie getting a lot of it for Hawthorn, but don't think she'd have a very high effective disposal percentage, though.....

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
