Why thebarton oval?

Its supposed to be a national league and theyre set to play at amater central on the biggest oval in the state with the most barron outer non seating youll ever see

Great for oval administrators but its hardly inviting to go watch girls playing at thebby. Its hardly inviting watching the div 1 grand final lol

Didn't we have this discussion a while back? St.Marys Park from memory was second behind Elizabeth on playing surface size. Exact same dimensions as Footy Park but the boundaries are far closer to the fences.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Thebby is more attractive an option than any other oval in the state for me. The comp didn't interest me but I might go to the Thebby games, wish there was more footy there.

Thebby has the same problem as Prospect. Does not run North/South .

Hows the 4.35 pm time slot February? Should only be night games.

Kelli Underwood and Neroli Meadows will call the action on FOX Footy’s NAB AFL Women’s League from February.

FOX Footy commentators including Adam Papalia and Tanya Armstrong will join them for 28-matches staged over seven weeks. The eight-team competition takes place across seven states, beginning with Collingwood on February 3, 2017, at Olympic Park Oval, Melbourne.

The Crows women's team lost the first ever AFL women's trial game yesterday to flag favourites Fremantle in Darwin by 22 points.

Fremantle 8.10 (58)
Adelaide 4.12 (36)

Also Erin Phillips & Chelsea Randall have been named as co-captains for the Crows this season.

More chance of me going to watch it at Thebby, a few thousand there would be a pretty good atmosphere (as would Norwood), Thebby has a lot easier access and more parking than Norwood.

Thebby & Prospect run NE to SW
Alberton runs NW to SE
Elizabeth is closer to North-South but still a fair way off, Adelaide is out by just as much but in the other direction
Woodville & Noarlunga aren't quite as far off but still not North-South
Richmond & Glenelg are about as far off North-South as Woodville & Noarlunga but in the other direction

Footy Park was the only true North-South oval, perhaps we'd better move all games there so you can be at ease with the compass :roll:
What other problem would it cause?

It probably means more people will go to the games if Underwood commentates. She has a voice like two cats fornicating.

I just read on a Channel 9 ADelaide Football League post that all AFLW games are free. Is this true?
The same post congratulated the Crows on a great first up win when they got clearly beaten. I guess that's why it's called amateur league. Pretty embarrassing really.
