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

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

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

    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.

    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.....

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
