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.

Edited by BDA

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.....

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
