Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2026 Qualifying Final Carlton vs North Melbourne at home

I havent watched the womens comp for a few years so thought i would watch us in this final.

As a spectacle its so bad and no wonder they still cant get a decent crowd dispite $10 tickets and a double header.

Norths skills and ball movement are decent but our girls are still under 16 level at best! Still dropping basic chest marks missing 25 targets move then they hit. We were going at 30% disposal efficiency half way thru the second quarter and we are a finals team. hate to see the bottom teams play.

If our skill level is an indication of the lack of  quality still in this comp i wont be tuning in again for another few years.

if you like thats great but i cant watch such a low standard let alone pay money to watch it.

But fk me the umpiring makes this incredibly difficult to watch.  If the AFL is serious they will rectify this absolute substandard umpiring in the womens game.

There is sub-standard umpiring in the mens game.
Not sure they'll be able to fix the womens before they fix the mens.

To me it seems like there are different rules for holding the ball in AFLW.
They refuse to blow the whistle for incorrect disposal. They let the scrum drag on too long.

Yea the Roos are incredible.
