Melbourne were heralded to be the next fairytale Premiers, now they look straw.

This week's ROHAN Report....

9 disposals for the game but kicked 3 goals and provided plenty of forward defensive pressure.....mmmmm. He's settling in nicely in his childhood home territory.....

BTW, Cats by 80 pts.....sheese!

Hawkins Dangerfield Kelly Selwood Ablett and Rohan. That's some forward line.

Gazza never had a settled role with us. Small forward? Key forward? Off half back? On a wing? Looks like Geelong has decided to use his strengths. I hope he can maintain the output.

Eagles got away from the Giants in the end.....52 pt win.

Who cares?

A post observation. I just noticed the free kick count from Perth.....Giants 24 WC 18. WTF is going on there? Easy to see who the 'darling Sydney side' are......

[Markwebbos]

I tipped the Giants

Teams with problems: Essendon, Melbourne and us. Not sure who has the biggest??

I feel better now after seeing the Dees tonight and to a lesser extent, Essendon this afternoon. Both abysmal....we are not quite abysmal. Yet.

53,934 at the Adelaide oval for the AFLW grand final. I can't wait for us to get a women's team. It can't happen soon enough.

And the Crows women played superb attacking football. A pleasure to watch. Carlton didn’t play badly, they were simply outclassed.

Sadly a few injuries though, particularly ACL by Erin Phillips in the 3rd quarter and suspected ACL by Chloe Scheer. Yet Phillips still won Player of the Match award! She is a super star.

I too will love it when Swans also have a AFLW team. Unfortunately still a few years away though.

What’s the handbrake ?

Some of the best team football I have seen in a while. The standard has improved immensely since the first year. Looking forward to seeing young Kirk, O"Loughlin and Davis ect running around in the red and white.

I am feeling a little better about round 1 now having seen the Dogs kick eight unanswered goals in the last quarter to run down the Hawks. Seeing the Hawks get done is always good and it makes our loss to the Dogs a little better looking not that I have any love for the fairypuppies.

What’s the handbrake ?

Need the new facilities which will be developed at Moore Park. There is simply no room at the SCG for additional facilities and the Club doesn’t want to send the women elsewhere (and elsewhere would likely be Blacktown).

And the Swans need to get a licence first ....

“The centre will also be home to the Sydney Swans NEAFL team and QBE Sydney Swans boys and girls Academies, while importantly it will provide the necessary capacity and infrastructure to enable the Swans to establish a future Sydney Swans women’s team.”

Yes lots of fun watching that. And the expression on Clarkson’s face!

The atmosphere at the AFLW final was fantastic and what a huge crowd.....I am assuming people would pay for the Grand Final? Either way, a great promotion for the W game.

I see Brisbane won again after North lead for most of the game.....they are dangerous.

.....and the Dogs? 9 goals to 1 in the last to overrun the Hawks. We're a chance against the Hawks!
