99%?

No disrespect to the AFLW, but I reckon that on average, any decent under age team around 15 or 16 years of age with decent skills would be able to pulverise any AFLW team. As long as they are passed puberty and have decent skills, they would have way too much upper body strength and would simply be able to rag dole their much weaker opponents.

Some of the kicking from these young kids from 50 metres out and on tight angles is ridiculous. Girls struggle to kick from 40 out from what I’ve seen.

Like coaching the little league boys.
Can't run, can't kick, can't handball, tentative attack on the ball.
But they all have big dreams and want to play.

And if the Melbourne Storm came down to Trevor Barker oval Sandy would absolutely flog them…

What’s the relevance??

It's a laughable appointment. Anyone who thinks this is based on merit wants their brains tested.

Nick is a club icon and has been doing his apprenticeship coaching in the youth system up until now. What's wrong with that? Describes the career trajectory of about 1000 successful coaches I can think of in heaps of different sports.

Merit played for Essendon and Brisbane in the 80s and 90s.

Yeah no idea why anyone would appoint a 300+ AFL game player that was in the system under Thomas, Lyon, Watters and Brad SCOTT. Also been involved in player development for the last few years.

Brains tested I think not.

Best of luck to him. Feels appropriate to have a guy whose name literally means of or from Saints back home.

Been at the NGA for a number of years in other words coaching. Again a 320 plus game AFL footballer comes with credentials to coach a female team.

I think 'abs' means Dal will get pilates trainers in, to work on core strength

Glad you worked out what abs means, it's had me f***ed for weeks :lol: :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
