Poor Prior is having an absolute shocker. Just a kid but gee he has had some costly mistakes and fumbles.

If Richmond get 5 goals up late in the game it will be on..

Yeah, they’re their own worst enemy at the moment. Trying to play fast footy is playing right into Richmond’s hands.

This was addressed at the time. The CBA rules that go with the bye make it the perfect week to plan a deload week. If our bye was 14 days long, we could have very well also begun and completed the next load week, and would have played fatigued for that game. However, we only had a 9 day bye break so there was no time to do do a full week of load in two days, therefore we played looking fresh.

Any disposal (kick or handpass) that goes out of bounds between the arcs without a player touching it, is a free to the oppisition. Takes out the need to judge if it was deliberate, insufficient intent or on the full. Inside the arcs, it is the same rules as per the AFL.

For those who aren't aware of the strange "oval" shape down in Geelong, here is Kardinia Park compared to the MCG. Kardinia Park 182m x 126m (and it's asymmetrical) MCG 174m x 148m

At least one competetion takes these sorts of act seriously. AFL please take note.

Cheers for that. Stupid way to miss a final.

Has anyone seen footage of the Answerth suspension? He got the week suspension for striking ANB (intentional, body contact and medium impact) which I think most assume resulted in the ANB spew, but I haven't seen any footage which is pretty unusual these days.

100%. Adelaide brought finals like pressure, especially in the first half and we absorbed it and kept getting our hands on the ball first. Amazing first up game really. I’m very glad we got through seemingly unscathed as the ground condition was pretty bad.

Go Dees. Great game ladies.

West had the knock on her kicking last year but looks to have cleaned it up quite a lot. 17 handballs, 5 kicks.

Not sure that was 15 lol

Lovely goal by Hanks

Kate, Kate, Kate 😩

We’re +2 Clearances and +7 Contested possessions. Who cares if we’re losing the tackle count. West and Gillard are great for second year players. Fitzsimmon had some important contests in the last 5 minutes.

The commentators are lauding the Adelaide pressure and tackling, but ignoring the fact that Melbourne is getting their hands on the ball first.

That was a great couple of minutes of footy finishing with the goal to Harris.

Adelaide are bringing so much pressure but our composure is very impressive.

I’m all for the 45 kick into the corridor but only when it’s on. We were lucky to get away with those two. Good quarter with lots of pressure. Could have easily got 2 more goals (Heath and Hore were very gettable).

I've heard several times the going rate for Rankine is two first rounders. Jackson is worth much more than that and I can't see Freo especially being able to make it happen. It's going to be a very intriging October and November.

Everything I've read and heard in the last few days says that Melbourne are the premiership favourites, followed by Brisbane. I'm not sure why people are dropping off Adelaide though, because Erin Philips seems to be the only star players no longer there.

Way to make the award mean nothing….

Elbows at exactly 90 degrees. Straight fingers. Graceful flag waving before a neat roll up and tuck away.

Gawn. 6 time AA. Legend of the club and the league. Amazing story.
