AFLW Does anyone really care?

Get with the times
The Girls bleed red white and black .
Nathan Burke's daughter plays for us .
Thats enough for me.

I don't mind the St Kilda games - only because I Believe - but in general not so much

I am a Feral Supporter for the AFL - I am a fan of AFLW Saints - it falls similar to Sandringham in my world

Nothing against the girls - but in a full game - the chance of a scoreline of 12 - 8 does not necessarily excite.

[SaintJohno]

Nice percentage booster going on for the girls. Pumping the Hawks.

[freely]

Just saw the score against the hawks ) Course so far we've only played expansion teams and wonder how well go next wk against Melbourne. still abhor the nds appointment but can't help grinning while we're winning!

[Rubyjo]

I'm getting more enjoyment in watching the girls this year than I did watching the guys. Sorry Ratts.

Loved seeing them touch up the Hawks today.

Another excellent win. 9.9 to 1.4. Yes they were playing a first year team, and will face tougher opponents in coming weeks, but Dal has them playing a polished brand of footy. They are happy to switch into the corridor, and have the skills to pull it off.

Our key forwards Greiser and Shierlaw kicked 3.0 to 2.2 respectively, and both goaled from strong grabs. McKinnon has dominated in the ruck both weeks, Patrikios is pure silk , and Jakobsson and Priest lead a strong defence . Most significantly , they tackle ferociously .

Alice Burke is starting to look the goods down back .

A pleasure to watch.

Our second best player, Tyana Smith, is still 4-6 weeks away in her return from ACL. She would be a handy addition to the midfield .

The real downside of AFLW is the injury attrition. Looks like an ACL for Van Dyk - our second already this season, and looks like the Hawks may have at least one.

Jakobsson looks really good .

I’m in

Every one of those girls playing tonight showed more heart than Brad Hill has ever shown.

Go saints

[samuraisaint]

Their scoreline this arvo was excellent.
Bravo!

[Sainternist]

This St.Kilda AFLW team gives me hope that I
might actually witness a Saints premiership one day. And Nick Dal Santo will probably turn out to be a far better coach than Ratten.

[B.M]

So now Dal is a good coach

Last year he was s***

Make up your minds?!

Truth is
Probably somewhere in the middle, and more to the point, does it make any difference?!

Bring in a good ruckman, get your best player back, play some minnows

All of a sudden it’s happy days

Just 3 games ago they were the worst team in the comp coached by a novice!

I'm pretty sure the coach has helped ..can take a while for the coach to get their act together no doubt with more experience . They were crap last year and they are better this year there is no doubt about it. Teams improve especially with some talent coming in .

[Scollop]

I don't follow the women's comp closely but I had heard that this year with all 18 teams, and just 10 home and away rounds, they've arranged for the weaker teams from last year ( which we fell into that category) to play each other at least once and the top teams playing against most of the top teams, to make it fairer for some of the weaker teams to qualify for finals

[The_Dud]

The Dees might be a bit better than the previous teams!

[mr six o'clock]

The Dees might be a bit better than the previous teams!

Yep
But the match also highlights why they are a typical st kilda team and should be embraced (metaphorically) by all our supporters .
Start the season well , 2 wins away , generate some hype, first home game , playing a good team . Hopefully a good crowd . And then ......
Come out and play absolutely schissenhousen .
6 goal to nil first term (afl equivalent would be 10+ )
Well done
The boys would be proud.

[therabbitinthehat]

good fightback, but that early onslaught made it a near impossible task

[Rubyjo]

Spirited comeback.

[Premium89]

Shierlaw is having a ripper start to the season - multiple goals in each match so far.
Dees in “do it for Daisy” mode, so they’re my tip for the flag.

[Munga]

Shierlaw is having a ripper start to the season - multiple goals in each match so far.

And had an obvious chest mark taken away. How all the umpires missed that... maybe too shy to speak up.
