This Sunday

[outside66]

Not much chat on here about our first AFLW game but who will be heading down? I personally can't wait, should be a memorable day!

[Beno88]

Poor fixturing to put the first game of the season on the day of St Kilda Festival.

Poor fixturing to put the first game of the season on the day of St Kilda Festival.

I would've thought that it's perfect fixturing - pre-drinks in St Kilda, watch the game in Moorabbin, then after party where the day started!

I like this. I stand corrected.

[diddley]

I’m heading down with a car load of women.
I’ll be the one in the cap with the St Kilda crest on it.

If I ever have a daughter, I can’t wait to tell her that I was there on day 1!

[The_Dud]

Probably the best chance of us seeing a premiership in the near future!

now try to picture sitting in our own grand stand at the new home of the Saints the junction oval
how perfect does the picture become now ?

not that Im trying to start a flame war or something

[Enrico_Misso]

I'm giving it a go.

But I still think the AFLW should be played in winter as curtain raisers to the AFL.

Yep, the Junction would have been perfect.
Petty politics stopped it.

Who cares.

[The Fireman]

Who cares.

[Gershwin]

Who cares.

You would have to be a sad sack if you didn't support a group of girls who are playing in the red. black and white colours of St Kilda, who train at Moorabbin and are OUR AFLW team.
Go Sainters!

[Laurie]

Not a sad sack at all just not into AFLW .
Hope they do well however not going out of my way by no means to watch them

[SemperFidelis]

Whole family going.

Even my mum, who now finds the tv coverage more compelling in the regular season, is giving it a burl.

I was at Moorabbin on Friday afternoon to drop something off, and the place was absolutely buzzing. They are so hyped down there.

The ground looked like they’d taken to it with the nail scissors.

I was very proud to buy the first commemorative program from the shop.

They’re stoked and expecting a big turnout, even with the cricket change of venue.

If you’re heading there the advice was to get there by 2 and maybe get a seat.

Go Sainters!

Tend to agree. Good on them for playing, but it is a rubbish spectacle.

Not a sad sack but the aflw is just rubbish........an agenda being pushed that is just so ordinary to watch

I'm guessing you must be a man, Chook. I love AFLW. I can watch any game. I love seeing the skills develop. I love that the women love to play. You won't see anyone wandering around looking bored (like some I could mention) or getting in a huff with each other cos they didn't get the perfect delivery (like some others I could mention!) Great role models. Courage in spades. Daisy Thomas coming back to skipper a win less than a year after giving birth to twins FFS! If you think it's a dud spectacle, I'm sorry for you. Look past the skill errors and you'll notice something pretty exciting going on. Women have been starved of this - now it's arrived, we can't get enough.

So tell us what you really thinks Freely.






BTW,

I couldn’t agree more. Absolutely spot on!

And I am a member of both the women’s and men’s teams.

Daisy Thomas coming back to skipper a win less than a year after giving birth to twins FFS!

The media have kept that very quiet!

lol - whoops! now that would have been a story!

[The Fireman]

couldn't be more disinterested.

PS and will go as far to say the AFLW should have it's own separate forum here on SS

I agree. Good luck to the girls, but I cannot get interested. I enjoy women's sports, in fact go to more women's golf tournaments than men - you can more readily appreciate the timing of their shots compared to the more powerful swings of the men. Women's tennis, cricket and so on I enjoy, but I don't think AFL is suited.

Still, the AFL/media has pushed the concept very well, and has attracted a market, and it looks likely to continue.

Agree with a separate forum on SS.

Yep agree. Good on them for doing their thing, but am completely disinterested.

[prwilkinson]

We’ll be there. Great day for the club. Go Saints!
