Great pick up! We desperately need small forwards. Fwd pressure and tackling (plus goals) is always a critical part of any game plan

If 19yo is mature age, I must be dead

He is only 19?? Bloke looks 32!

Good Ringwood lad. they raise them tough out there Love his touch of arrogance he projects. we need it with May going soon

Not often Cal get the early picks this wrong!

Pickett was projected to go at 15 and we took him at 12 Hardly a reach. We desperately need small fwds and JT would have done his homework

Now I'm pitching a tent!

who gives AF about the hawks??

Surely we go Pickett if he is projected to go around 15 and we have 12. We desperately need small fwds and X factor. Small fwds are crucial these days from what I hear and we have lost ANB and Spargo. New fast game plan? Give me Latrelle!

And the major newspapers have virtually nothing on W online. Both have one article in the first 12 on the Blues getting to a prelim. The rest is filler after the mens draft. Durrsma likes to dance article is the headline on the Sun. wtf. The hard not to think the editors and trying to stop the game gaining popularity. It’s prelim week FFS. Plenty to write about. North are maybe the most dominant team ever. The Demons final was one of the best W games i’ve seen. If it was low scoring I’m sure there would be article bagging women’s football i’m [censored] over it

Thank you, that means a lot

Was a great win yesterday and I enjoyed it greatly It doesn’t really impact how i feel about the men’s team. and vice versa. Men winning the flag didn’t make me feel any different about the women’s team. Kinda weird but I don’t associate them too closely.

I don’t blame supporters for not turning up i blame the AFL/AFLW for terrible scheduling of games Virtually no promotion of games. A lot of people don’t even know games are on Our home ground not being in Melbourne 10 years of only playing 8-10 games a year. many of which were blow outs due to 18 teams coming in way too quick Play games consistently in Melbourne at a venue people can reasonably get to and the support will build. I feel for our girls playing with such heart to terrible crowds

Stinnear will need to come up with some new strategies if we are to beat North. The first half will be an arm wrestle with little scoring. Every tackle and kick will matter Umpire number 9 better not be anywhere near the [censored] game! not even in the crowd!

Hore is far and away the best player in the league. She spent a fair bit of time in defence and still those stats!

Bannan is not a tall fwd. Just doesn’t have the craft. She was beaten to the ball all game and can’t take a mark unless she can have 3 grabs at it Put her on the wing and in space when Zank is back. She would be a nightmare match up

Hore could easily play in the mens league Never seen a more well rounded player, from sublime skill to toughness and leadership and goal kicking 3 goals and 27 in 70 minutes what would she do in 130 minutes!?

Lost the inside 50s 46-31 and win! amazing defence

Gillard is 190cm tall defender 2 HUGE run down tackles Never seen a tall do that

Gillard was so good in the 3rd. Lovely off the ball bump to take one of them out and then the run down tackle Wotherspoon also tackles like a beast

Macca having a shocker Gets plenty of it but it’s all fumbles and shank kicks. She need to learn to handball more to runners

Umpires swung the game that quarter with 2 goals from nothing! at least the fox commentators stuck it to the umps at half time

Just switched from Fox to channel 7 and the quality is so bad it looks like a magic eye picture

Don’t talk about your wife like that Harvey

I really don't think this is an advantage and now with the pre finals bye I see this is as a distinct disadvantage. You want a proper hit out before the break. This might partly explain the Cats poor finals performances over the past 14 years Made finals 12 times, 9 prelims for 1 flag. Tigers during the same period made 4 prelims for 3 flags
