AwFuL have confirmed they also wrongly denied her a goal :crazy_face:

THE AFL has confirmed a behind kicked by Geelong star Georgie Prespakis should have been ruled a goal.

The All-Australian Cat had a running shot on goal in the second quarter with 4:30 left on the clock, which was called by the goal umpire as a point.

Prespakis celebrated with teammates before realising, and was visibly confused.

Geelong defeated the Western Bulldogs by 48 points on Saturday, with the disallowed goal not having any real bearing on the match.

An AFL spokesperson said the behind had been reviewed post-match and it was confirmed Prespakis’ kick should have been a goal.

Prespakis recorded a career-high 34 disposals at 74 per cent efficiency against the Dogs (albeit with quarters running for an average extra two minutes this year), as well as 11 tackles, 10 clearances and 641m gained.

The ARC, which is used for goal reviews in the AFL men’s competition is not employed in AFLW due to the number of community grounds hosting matches.

Conti is a big fan of asking the ump for a free.

Some of the times it’s even justified.

Tiggers 12 Crows 7 at a wet Pissy Park.

We will will play both of these teams this year (Adelaide next week is nominally our hardest game for the year)

103

Conti 17% of their disposals and 50% of their goals.

WTF
 ex-Bomber Danielle Ponter got the centre clearance and kicked a goal from 2 metres ahead of the centre line.

Got a nice bounce over FF and FB, and then skidded through.

Give her the car* already.



*not even the men get a car nowadays

I hope the distance is more accurate than the purported source of the images.

Ponter misses set shot from 30 out :crazy_face:

Crows lead 20-12; Tiggers scoreless since the first quarter.

108

Was the special time for collywobbles only?

Can’t have an AFLW game robbing viewers from an AFLM final.

They go back to less-stupid start times on AFLM GF weekend, so I’m not being snarky above.

Flogging. Absolute flogging by Adelaide that one.

112

Adelaide win 41-12.

34-0 in the last three quarters


Remember, the Tiggers beat the Bears last week.

Our job in the next 8 days is to win the one we should, and minimise the damage from the one we shouldn’t.

113

Richo just said he’s going for Melbourne :man_shrugging:

‘Round here, Diggers get banned.

After one quarter:

Gold Coast 26
West Coast 0

We lost to WCE in the pre-season


116

34-1 (rushed)

Gold Coast are aggressively running through the middle and clunking up forward (Dupuy 5 marks after 1.5 quarters). That’s with a modest influence by Rowbottom (though she’s had 3-4 disposals since I started writing this).

117

Big Dupuy sells candy (!), and kicks her third goal.

40-1

118

53-2 at half time.

Stanton has four goals (robbed of her fifth by an absurd bounce).

Gold Coast fall 5 points short of the “highest score in the first half of an AFLW game” record (58 by us, also vs WCE).

(Well, I think we still hold that record. Not sure.)

But they’ve already beaten their highest ever score (49)

119

WCE trying, a bit.

68-8 at the final break.

Ella Roberts moved to defence.

120

Bohanna kicks her fourth major, making this a game with (at least) three PB goal-kicking tallies.

80-8
