lmao ..how is this comp still a thing? :joker
Yet this game was daylight more competitive than yesterday's bruise free GF :shh and our women's team has won twice as many games already as our hapless men's team did all year.

Lmao - yeah I'm sure the GF would've been a far greater spectacle if it had been *checks notes* 3 goals to 2..... :joker

Since when does the number of goals determine the spectacle of a sport?! That's the sort of crap we get from the likes of media clowns like Robbo. Funny how the biggest and most popular sport in the world has low scoring. The game against Norf was a highly contested wet weather footy match [not that our dopey coach realised this either :facepalm ] which was close on the scoreboard all day. But yeah, as a spectacle for the neutral it's a shame it wasn't more like "*check notes*" a one-sided game in perfect conditions that was over before half-time or as enjoyable as watching a team across a whole season that could only win two games out of 23 :facepalm.

Anyway, if you don't like AFLW then that's your prerogative. But it's getting really boring after every game now we get the few same olds having to repeatedly tell the world they hate it. We heard you the first time. If don't like it, then don't watch it and don't bother posting in the AFLW threads.

You don’t help your cause for posters not commenting on threads when R6 in the AFLW is being compared to the AFL GF.

It’s an absolutely ridiculous comparison and Dio could have gone far harder

Just my opinion. Which I thought forums were for.

It's not just round 6  ::). The same small few repeatedly sook about the whole AFLW competition being "a joke" [that was the quote that I replied to]. The comparison was a dig at that ridiculous cheapshot from the sidelines. Just because you don't like AFLW or any sporting comp for that matter doesn't make it a joke. The sellout crowd today at Punt Rd despite the wet weather shows the couple of haters on here are the minority.

I’m a hater of the quality of the product
I’m not in the minority

Woman’s footy will improve (it already has). I have two daughters and love the fact I could kick a footy with the girls .. I went to all their games (sometimes travelling 4hrs to do so)

As a side note - What constitutes a sellout at Punt Rd?

Move the game to the MCG and see how the crowd goes

I’d suggest the biggest non GF crowd in the AFLW this year will be smaller than the smallest AFL crowd ..

The product has a LONG way to go to get anywhere near NRLW as a spectacle
