Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2019 GF: Carlton vs Adelaide
Bit of back story.

Round 1. Adelaide 1.11.17 to dogs 2.6.18 (reigning premiers)

This was Adelaides only loss for the year....and with kicking like that, it shouldn't have been close to a loss.

From R2 onwards,
- Not a single side got with 5 goals of Adelaide.
- Not a single side managed to kick 7 goals against them.
- Not a single side had managed to lead against them at any of the breaks during the game (1/4 time, half time, 3/4 time)
- Not a single side has managed to have a lead against them of 2 or more goals all year.

....that is....except us.
In R2 we lost by a mere 13 points.
We kicked ended up kicking 7 goals against them
We were leading against them at half time
We were leading by 17 points late in the 3rd quarter

.....and we did that in a game which we didn't have Tayla Harris in.


Yes, Crows are favourites...and by a long way.....but if anyone is a chance....

Been tossing up over this for a while now....
3: Harris (Half of this for her performance, half for doing it under the pressure she's been under - akin to Waite playing the week his dad died)
2: Downie
1: Brazzale

Ladies Lounge / Re: 2019 AFLW Preliminary Final: Carlton vs Fremantle
I did just find this paragraph in regards to the venue of the grand final...
Quote
The winner of both games will progress to the Grand Final next Sunday (time TBC), with the team with the most premiership points (or highest percentage if points are the same) earning hosting rights.

Thought i already started this, my bad.

A dominant performance by the girls, a tough ask to pick just 3, but lets do it.

Who is your 3, 2, 1 this week?

Can be....
There isn't a hard and fast rule as to where it will/should be held.

If Adelaide beat Geelong, you are essentially having 1st vs 1st...so who deserves the home ground?

If Geelong beat Adelaide, then its pretty clear we deserve home ground as we finished above them. So Ikon it would be.

AFL has a tough call on their hands.

Watching the game and have missed each of our first 4 goals when i vhanged channels to check the Melbourne game.

f*** the melbourne game.  :P

But maybe check back often in the 2nd half. ;)

Edit: ACtually, you need kayo sports, it has split screen of up to 4 screens at once. As well as PIP. ;)
Was very handy during the F1. I had the normal screen, the timing screen and an individual driver screen. Was awesome!

I too see shortcomings in Bolton's unwillingness to 'stop' certain opposition players....

Ed C. and Kennedy the most likely but if you stop certain players having a real, ongoing influence, you can effectively stop the opposition....

Jones on Westhof?

As for ed Curnow as a forward? why?


I'm starting to think that we are trying to find roles for players we have, rather than find players for the roles we have.

That is, if Ed is no longer needed in the midfield, perhaps he's no longer needed at all. Perhaps we can find a HFF who is better than Curnow in the same position.
