La Dee-vina Comedia

I support the OP. Essentially, though, it just proves I'm lazy. It's not that hard to go to the AFLW Board, but I don't do it. Having said that, I think having AFLW intermixed with the men's will enhance our women's team by increasing their exposure.

I'd like the challenge to go up a level and ask them to draw the logo as Picasso would have drawn it.

Why do you say this?

Of course not. They go with full arsed ideas only.

I noticed the effect of the "no goal square when kicking in from a behind" rule in the AFLW game. Many times the player kicking in was 20 metres from goal before kicking which really opened up the game. I think this might be a very successful rule change. (Of course, all it is really doing is getting rid of the need for players to kick the ball to themselves first.)

What, exactly, was going on in that Preuss photo? It lends itself to a caption competition.

I'm all in favour of replacing the free scarf with every membership with a free Jaguar.

Unrelated to that great mark and the discussion about photography, I saw in one of yesterday's papers that Shaun Smith is one of the players listed as being part of the concussion class action. I hope he's OK.

I actually see this as good news. Governments are showing preparedness to cough up if there's a legitimate project. All we need to do is get all the right ducks in a row and the dollars should be forthcoming.

So, either something to do with coffee or a product that launches. SpaceX? Starbucks (they do appear to be upping their interest in Australia)?

The Satyricon Demons?

Crikey!

Whack. (Hopefully this Tweet, including the video clip is inserted properly- but if not, the text says it all...)

"I'd suggest that @aflwomens is way more important to the overall focus of Aussie Rules than some dodgy preseason competition that hardly anyone I know cares about."

I also wouldn't be surprised if there are 8 or more interchange players. Also, as a minor point, I'd like to see Hore's name before Frost's. Reads better.

The club wants you to RSVP? It might provide a little bit of data, but I doubt it would be of much use. I assume it's not compulsory, but it just seems odd to me to be asking in the first place.

Perhaps the target market is "older kids" - that is, teens and older - for whom a Friday night should work well. Or it's for the masses of international tourists without anything to do on a Friday night.

Is permission needed because he's apparently over 18 (an earlier poster said he turned 18 in May last year) or for some other reason? (Or both?)

Is it possible to pull a hamstring as a response to hearing your name called out by Eddie Betts?

$$$

Are you referring to players or spectators?

Will we get to host it next year?

For those posters who have children or grandchildren who this product appears to be targeted at, it would be good to get your feedback on this site after the AFLX event (competition? tournament?) as to whether your children/grandchildren enjoyed it. It would be especially interesting if you were able to form a view as to whether it piqued any interest in those who previously had not shown much or any interest in AFL.

I suspect there's been no training this week to give the AFL clear air to publicise AFLX.

career-ending for its proponents wasn't one of the synonyms in your thesaurus? Pity

Whispering Jack regularly reminds us that a player is left out at team selection with an injury that wasn't disclosed prior to the team being picked. Today's Age has gone further and created a bone in the body that doesn't actually exist. Apparently Zac Fisher had a broken "fibia". Not only was it stated in the article written by Peter Ryan, but also in the picture caption. What other mystery injuries (real or imagined) can people remember? Howe with his frisbee injury. What else? Added link: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/injury-concerns-behind-carlton-s-zac-fisher-20190206-p50w3j.html (The photo caption is in the print edition)
