Might need to buy myself an aerial and start watching.

 

trust the lefties to again bring politics into a footy post. Like clockwork.

Lol. Reds under the bed. 

Viva la revolution!

Channel 7 is Bomber TV. The pre-game stuff this Friday will be vomit inducing.

Channel 7 also give a platform to white supremacists on their feel-good breakfast show and generally panders to the shallow end of the gene pool with their moronic programming.

and lets not get started with their commentary team. 

The less I have to watch the better. 

So it’s that time of year when we guess the silhouettes of who will grace the DL player banner. 

my guess is: random Dr Seuss characters?! ?

The thing that has been carried over from mens to womens so well is the art of ducking into tackles. 

The rolling of shoulders to pull the contact high. Dropping to your knees when you know your going to get caught. I watched a bulldogs player fall on her arse and get paid a high contact free.

Making an effort to dispose of the ball properly goes out the window if you can just drop to you knees. Worst result for the player is a ball up.

It's a blight on our game.

We get to watch the master next Sunday.

Yep the umpiring was bad and we also blew it again.

Snap. We were writing simultaneously..

Shattered. 

Had a dream last night that we actually won and had to reconcile such a gut wrenching loss again this morning. At least as MFC supporters we are well versed in such emotional battles. 

Agree with everything written so far re; umps, wind, our own worst enemies, poor defensive marking in that last play, etc so won’t re-hash. 

HOWEVER. One thing that made my blood boil last night was that scrunchy-wearing, J.Selwood wannabe, knee-dropping Carney for the dogs. And some of her mates. More than several important frees including a goal as a result of the old arm-lift/knee drop in the tackle that our girls could do nothing about whilst mid-tackle. 

Sure, the girls adjusted their tackling later in the game, but it is just so hard to alter whilst the frigging knee-buckling is happening. I even saw Daisy give a rare frustrated spray to Carney after one particularly cynical milking of a free.

i nearly vomited when the female commentator (not sure who it was?) said “oh the dogs are just getting more frees because they’re going in harder and lower” when it was 14-3 frees or whatever it was. EXACTLY- drawing free kicks incessantly! 

At best, it’s not in the spirit of the game, at worst it’s CHEATING. 

J.Duckwood has a lot to answer for! GRRRRRRRRR ?

OH FFS , ENOUGH ALREADY!!! 

BOUNCE THE FREAKIN BALL

anyone got a final score?

I don’t know about anytime else but I’m extremely nervous/ excited for tonight’s game.

predictions anyone? 

Whilst the inclusion of Katie Brennan is huge for the dogs, I reckon they will become too Brennan-centric and predictable when entering forward 50 and our defence will pick them off. 

Mind you i have similar concerns re: Cunningham :/

jeez I don’t know - Dees by a goal! 

CARN LA-DEES!! 

When are final teams announced?

Got the wrong person ... it's Bob Murphy 

But hes got hair. 

Unless you dropped your Mintie on a shag carpet 

Ablett has a head like a chewed-up Mintie.

FMD this thread is still going??!!

According to Ablett’s manager (and player manager’s never tell porkies), he’s playing in round 1:- 

ABLETT WILL PLAY ROUND ONE

Thanks, Sandra!

Assuming both have a full list, ablett will be blocked by petracca, Selwood will cop Viney, and Danger will be blocked by Vince,  leaving ANB/Harmes/Salem to take a long tap from Gawn and deliver in F50 with Hogan up front...

ok, I’m dreaming right?

Nah, sounds good to me.

sold!

[censored] worrying about Geelong, they need to worry about us. Maxy Gawn masterclass inc.

Agree. 

My conern, however, is that they figure out how to shark off Maxy’s hitouts..

On the Saturday, and there saying it's likely to be at Ikon park, as they don't want to run it before one of the mens games. Kinda makes sense as besides Brissy (who are only a small chance of making it) all other mens teams play on the Friday or Sunday.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-12/aflw-ikon-park-firming-as-grand-final-venue 

Cheers for that.

I'm spewing, though, I have to work all day and night on that Saturday.  Was hoping for the Sunday.......

Potentially silly question - what date is the Grand Final? Is it next Saturday or Sunday?

Google searches giving me nothing....

Well that was a pretty good afternoon at the footy for my first AFLW game! 

A good atmosphere and sizeable crowd. I was barracking pretty hard, not many others around me were but IDGAF. I must say quite a different feel to the demographic; it seemed like during the third quarter grind, not many people were actually watching the game! A kind of carnivale/family day type atmosphere which was nice. 

Some observations: 

- Tegan Cunningham.....full stop. Only disappointment was missing that sitter. But wow. 

- Elise O’Dey , also wow. 

- watching live, daisy and paxman really catch the eye with their skill and hardness. 

- Mel hickey did hobble off with trainers and was in the 3Q time huddle , so appears not ACL, but unlikely to play again this year :/

- we just looked a class above all day. 

Geez looking forward to next week! 

Go you La-Dees! 

Most certainly enemy territory:/

Just rocked up. Crowd building. Girls doing warm ups. The stomach churns.
