Girls are not as strong as boys.
Skinny girls that weigh half as much as an AFL footballer are not going to be known for their long kicking.
No scheisse Sherlock. You miss the point too....
Since when is the skill of kicking or handballing a footy i.e. hitting a target a function of strength?
I was impressed by the tackling efforts btw.

It's a shame you don't hold Levi Casboult to the same standards as these girls.

It guess it was only a matter of time before poor old Levi was dragged into the debate. I almost did it myself yesterday.

I think you've forgotten what you actually said to begin with!

You are clearly talking about length of the kick, rather than the accuracy of it. Which is why we are having this strength debate.

No, I rest my case.
I never said she should kick it 50 or even 40 or even 30.....pretty easy point to grasp really. For most.

Do you think the men would play for unders and let the proceeds of their efforts be given away? We should certainly be charging a gold coin donation, but put that money back into the development of the women. The key issue with this competition is that the women aren't full time professional sports people. They only train twice a week and still work full time jobs. The only way this competition improves is if they are able to dedicate the same amount of time to perfecting their game as the men do.
Also, tackling shouldn't be modified, breasts are more resilient than you think lol.
Fair call but I beg to differ. I don't think it would be insulting. In fact I suspect many of the women would be wrapped to know that some proceeds from their efforts would go to help worthy women causes.
However, the core of my point was that the AFL has not demonstrated imagination in terms of reaping full benefit from the popularity of the ALFW. Of course a % of proceeds should be poured back into the further development of the competition.
Even the men's comp has special affiliation rounds to show support to various community issues/charities - prostate cancer for one and I'm sure the players are happy that money raised from their efforts aids prostate cancer research.
Perhaps, and I'm only brainstorming here/just thought starters, a certain % goes to further development but each round also buddies up with a given bona fide women's cause... this gives promotion to the cause and would encourage corporate sponsorship which brings in more money to also aid development. That's central to my argument, just apply imagination to marketing potential that could deliver both cause support and future development support. This grows the ALFW in other ways that can only help.
I was not aware that bosoms are very resilient and localised trauma is not indicative of cancer risk (like a good boy, I did some research
) )... perhaps I've been too gentle over the decades ;DRe: AFLW Rd 1: Carlton vs Collingwood at Ikon Park - LP - 02-05-2018
A two week ban for the kick to the groin seems about right in a short season.
If it had been the men I'd expect 3 or more, but 2 out of 7 or so AFLW games is a hefty penalty and appropriate.

I think that it's too lenient LP.
I realise that it's a short season but kicking an opponent, and particularly in the groin, deserves a more severe penalty. It looked bad and just the thing to stop mothers letting their daughters play footy. The AFL made a lot of noise about coming down hard on AFLW players that punch and they've let D'Arcy off with a slap from a wet lettuce leaf.
I would have suspended her for the rest of the season.
One mitigating factor is that she was given an almighty wedgie that should have earned her a 50 metre penalty. If that was paid in a timely manner, she probably wouldn't have kicked. The umpires seemed reluctant to pay obvious frees and 50m penalties. Perhaps they are umpiring to instructions. If so, the instructions need to change!

You talked about length, not skills and were called out on it. Deal.

Molloy got the games MVP Nomination over Chiocci, I'm a bit surprised but I'm probably biased, and they both played well.
