Very boring there’s more skills on display when watching Auskick games

Much as I hate to say this but what you said is so true.

Most of the game revolves around tackles and the ground skills, at this stage is woeful.

Having said that, good on the ladies for having a go and enjoying themselves.

As it stands today though it is not really a riveting spectator sport.

Not sure it is necessary to post that sort of patronising stuff

It's not riveting, but I still like it. At the moment, as interesting as a practice match. Football is football.

Media training might have a bit more ground to cover in AFLW.

Pies defender saying you just need to stop Tayla Harris in the air, otherwise she is 'useless'.
Doesn't take long for the Chokers to blow out the fumes for any player to inhale.

I would advise people not to only watch our games when judging AFLW standards.

From the games I've seen this weekend, we are a long, long way behind the established sides.

Even though that is to be expected, I'm still calling for a change of coach and board.

I had higher hopes but we really do seem to be a long way behind the rest. Playing Gold Coast who are also an expansion team showed how far behind we are. StKilda looked competitive today against Adelaide so we really need to get our act together.

Makes the Sam Lane podcast a little embarrassing. I am sure we thought we were going to steamroll this comp as well.

I dont think so, At the our AFLW launch a couple of weeks ago, it was mentioned numerous times that the first game / the first season wont define us.

I am certain they thought / knew we would struggle

Can't find the wheelchair team board but assume you are consistent and calling for the coach of that team to be changed as well? :D

What the????

How is this patronising???

"treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority."

Fair dinkum can you WOKE clowns stop trying to shut down valid opinions - that simply don't align with yours???

“Patterning your life around other’s opinions is nothing more than slavery.”
