Hope is deadset garbage
Genuinely perplexed as to what post you are referring to.
Hope was signed as a marquee player for 2017 on the back of her âsupposedlyâ stellar 2016 in VFLW which she kicked 100 goals - Drill down the figures and around 70 goals came against the bottom teams.

Itâs because sheâs got blonde hair and covered in tats. She sticks out. If she looked like plain Jane she wouldnât be playing this year. Purely playing because people know who she is and a drawcard, if you want to call her that. sheâs one name I know out of 5 maybe)

Livingstone has slipped right into AFL management mode: was on radio this morning saying they did NOT tell any team how to play.

I re-read the memo. It was very very very clear it was telling teams how they expected them to play. If she said otherwise she is treating the public as stupid. I donât get why people go down this track of commentary and think itâll just go un-noticed. It just adds to oneâs list of why the AFL is disingenuous and untrustworthy.

Classic AFL business. It doesnât matter if itâs true. It only matters if you say it.

Hocking signed the memorandum, so he should have done the explanation. I got the impression Livingston did not believe a word of what she was forced to say. The journo should have asked her if she had any role in the directive.
I donât really understand how âhigh-scoring = entertainingâ works anyway. Howâs the fkn surge of excitement (panic?) when Heppell breaks clear of the pack coming through the square towards an empty forward line when weâre up 63-59 halfway through the 4th. Compare that to same play while being up (or down) 110-72.
In low scoring contents attacks on goal become so much more meaningful, and the momentum of a game can swing in less than a minute. How is that not entertaining?
Iâve said this time and time again, all AFL employees should be banned from watching American sports with punishment by way of something really really bad.

Apologies if there is a EFC VFLW thread, could not find one. Given I added this to my membership I am disappointed on the information on the club website. For those more knowledgable than me which would be many, is there a team list or fixture available yet? I did ask the club however the reply was that this will be addressed in the future.
See my post and Katieâs response from a week ago.
When we actually have something to report, it should go in the VFL forum.
Yeah, as a father of two girls (and one boy) I want it to flourish and therefore support it. My sister was a bit of a star in the juniors - won two best in comp trophies, but after U12s she couldnât play anymore and my parents had to watch me. Haha, sucked in Dad.
Seriously though, my sis is quite â â â â â â about it all now she sees where itâs at now and believes, with the right support, she couldâve made this level.
I donât want my girls to think they canât play elite footy just because theyâre girls, but at the same time I understand what weâre seeing is a league in its infancy, and therefore it wonât always be beautiful to watch.
I try not to compare it to the menâs game as theyâre nowhere near it. Whatâs more realistic is if you have to compare it to a menâs game, compare it to a wet weather menâs game.
