Is umpire 4 the worst AFL connected umpire at any level?
Also, where does one buy an isosceles shaped wig? What a flog.

It remains beyond belief how we cop this non-stop. First time in ALFW but all because we improved a lot and made finals. Something evil is lurking with these bastards at AholeFL house. Must be investigated.

Terrible season. Need a review and clean out of the women’s football department.
Sheehan cannot be let near any decisions. Boot her and get someone ruthless in. We are currently somewhere between Walls Frawley and Wallace and we will stay there if they pat themselves on the back after that pathetic effort of a year.

If you are going to select someone with size damn well make sure they cause hurt and impact everywhere they contest. Does any other team do big and slow?

Skills, intensity and tackling were all poor. Too many passengers. Poor end to the season. We rely too heavily on Mon and a handful of others. Other teams improving quicker than us. Time for a new coach or do we turn the list over?
 
Our issues playing the best teams are all to see.

Defensive group - They are pretty good, but Graham makes way too many bad decisions. I'd like to see more of Peck next season, reckon she looked really good when she played last year
Forward line - Way too much reliance on goals from Brennan, Greiser (I reckon she gets undeserved stick) and Yassir. Ford isa newbie and will get better, but gee we saw what having a good 3 that can mark can do at this level. Weird thing was, we were playing a front 3 with McLleland and then decided to go with 2 rucks instead of a ruck forward. I reckon we won way more games playing a forward / ruck than a ruck / forward. Ferg got this wrong.

Midfield - Just way too slow and again (its a trend) too much reliance on 2 - Conti and Sheeran. I like Dalloway, but she needs to find more of the ball, but I think Egan steals a lot of the "good" inside mid minutes. I remember watching something on her Insta that could explain what appears to be "bulking", as she was working on power, I think she's been failed by her trainer, as her power hasn't improved and all she has done is add bulk / muscle mass, which isn't the go for an AFL footballer. Lavey - my memory tells me she used to be really nimble before the knee injury, maybe its just her 1st season back, but she seems to have lost all of that, and Dempsey seems to have turned into a shadow of herself since the online abuse she got. With her being out best kick, thats not a good position to be in.

Just on today (and another for Ferg), but why move Hicks to the forward line, when she has played back all season, she looked completely lost and certainly didn't help with that forward line reliance on the main 3. We have almost dumped a player into the last forward position rather than find someone who can kick goals. I know she's slow but I'd much prefer Courtney Jones in the forward line, at least she's dangerous and always a chance of getting a goal. Its been an ongoing issue against the best sides, just not enough avenues to goal.

Plenty for list management to work on, hopefully they have a few zippy players they know about. Also, they need to find a way next year of using Bacon a lot more, she's sizzling when she gets her pace up.
