Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW - Contracted or uncontracted?
Last post by DJC -Mimi Hill extends until 2027, which is huge for us.
It's great to lock Mimi away but it's also part of a trend towards longer deals for the AFLW girls. Good to see us taking advantage of the move to multi-year contracts.

Last post by WASurfer -Gives us a bit of an edge in the midfield for sure. Great if we get Cerra back but I'd like to have McGovern down back this week too just to settle things down a bit.
If Cerra comes in, probably won't be too many other changes.

Blah-Blah Bar / Laws, bans, $
Last post by LP -Firstly, offering cash for abused women you'll get as many spurious claims as you get genuine, some may claim the cost is for the greater good, but really it's just another loophole that will make the process unmanageable. What victims of domestic violence need is physical protection, not a nice dinner before being beaten to death. Pieces of paper are ultimately worthless as defence against weapons or fists.
Banning deep fake porn seems to be a confusion of revenge porn, I'd assert there are as many women making a living out of the deep fake stuff as are being harmed by it, so in that regard a blanket ban probably analogous to banning prostitution. All it will do is send the industry underground making it harder to police. In any case is the producer of deep fakes is doing so for nefarious reasons, the laws related to fraud already exist, and apply not just to porn but also schemes like the misrepresentation of celebrities in online Ponzi schemes.
Finally, bans in general tend to be a lure rather than a deterrent. The people who won't do this stuff don't do it already, and the people likely to do it are almost encouraged by making it harder to do and effectively more lucrative. If you want to stop people doing this stuff, find a way to demonetise it.

Last post by laj -The season thus far indicates we raise this pressure rating in fits and starts - score heavily, or get scored heavily against, depending on this pressure. Our win/loss quarter ration is about 50/50. Again, inconsistency raises its head.
And that's been the story of the season so far......patchy. Picking up the rating when we have needed to have won us games but caused us to piss two games down the drain too where we lost it more than the other side has win it.

Last post by DJC -Most media commentators seemed to think that Vossy's response to last week's loss will be the making of this team.
The line in the sand has well and truly been set - Friday night is a great chance to show how far this team has come.
I was expecting us to come over the top of the Cats until we got to the last couple of minutes. I suspect that some of our players felt the same way and thought that their teammates would get the job done. I think we'll see a greater effort across the whole team this Friday.
