AFLW Does anyone really care?

Post: # 1977723Post Sebastian Tombs »

As I write this there is a team representing the StKilda Football club playing , yet there is no live thread going.

So the question I ask is does anyone give a s*** about the AFLW

Too busy making Bunnings shareholders wealthier and preparing the vegie patches to be honest. I admit to having as much interest in AFLW as I do in the BBL, about none. Also too busy watching young pacers preparing for the big races across the ditch.

I'd probably watch our under 19 team if they were on TV

The girls are doing well.

Commentators suck though, they're definitely barracking for Sydney.

Our tackling has been fabulous tonight. We lead the tackle count 41 to 19. Now up 7.5 to 3.1 early in the last . Kate Shierlaw looking great up forward. Georgia Patrikios getting a lot of the footy in her first game back, but she ( as with all the players ) is struggling to find space on the tiny North Sydney Oval.

People obviously care so much they feel compelled to start threads about it.

I'm not a big fan of watching AFLW but I have no problem with those that do or with the AFLW comp in general. I hope the girls do well because they are a genuine part of the St.Kilda Football Club I just don't like to watch it .

You have to watch the song after the game
Put the boys to shame big time. Never seen so much passion in a saints jumper before.
Good on them. Well coached by ND

It's never crossed my mind creating a thread about something I don't care about... That's an interesting thought process.

To be honest, I don’t follow the Blind Saints and Wheelchair Saints either. Just the AFL for me.

Watched the whole game and thought the skills were better than previous years. It will definitely improve in the coming years with kids who have played their whole life coming through. It gives my daughter (12) something to look up to and us something to watch together so I'm in.

Just a wild guess; I reckon at least 95% of Saintsaitional members aren’t the AFLW’s targeted audience.

I am still fascinated by the fact so many women want to play AFL, and intrigued by the wide range of body types and how hard at it they are.

I will never understand women. Product of stereotype brainwashing.

Its (AFLW) great for the game and every supporter will care if they become more competitive and win a flag.
