AFLW Round 3: Carlton vs Brisbane at Ikon

[laj]

I'm varying between the footy and the short track speed skating, where there's usually lots of fun and crashes.

I'm sorry to say this but both Men and Women teams are there to make up the numbers.
We have many Richmond like drought years to come in front of us no matter how many rose coloured glasses are put on.

Not our night tonight. A+ for effort, but just can't string together any convincing passages of play. Lionesses just slicker and better with the footy.

I'm sure Richmond and the Bulldogs thought that too. Things change quickly.

Why aren't you watching the National Track and Field championships on the live stream ;D

What was the dogs 50 something years and the Tiges were 30 something?

There are about 10 'elite athletes' in the whole competition (most successful in other sports). The others are nothing more than weekend warriors. The AFL have a lot to answer for in a couple of areas. Their hype over Mo Hope because she had a 'story' but failed to fire a shot was over the top, totally!  Making Sarah Perkins a pinup girl (again nice story, but no athlete) was just unfair. The high percentage of the girls have been promoted and pumped up way, way beyond their ability.  The exposure (print, electronic media) is WAY out of proportion to the standard of the game and ability of most of the players......but it suits the AFL perfectly!

I actually feel sorry for the girls, they should be able to develop in the 'burbs, like the next generation of players are doing now.

Yes, either that or our girls got the right instructions, but couldn't follow them. Apart from the effort, everything looked a little off tonight.

I thought the same thing.
