Let's see if I get around to reviewing this over the weekend. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 04:39, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Lead

 * Per MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID, don't link AFL Women's Grand Final in the bold.
 * ✅ Unlinked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * 2019 AFL Women's season, the league's third season. <<<=== How about "2019 AFL Women's competition" to avoid repeating "season"?
 * ✅ Remove repetition.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * a record for an standalone <<<=== typo "an"
 * ✅ Deleted.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I would suggest stating the score and/or something like... Adelaide took a big lead by half time.
 * ✅ Score stated.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I would suggest following anterior cruciate ligament with "(ACL)" since the abbreviation is very commonly-used.
 * ✅ Abbreviation added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Background

 * joined the competition in 2019 <<<=== specify "the AFL Women's competition"
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * the competition was lopsided <<<=== I'd prefer "the conferences were unbalanced".
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The two teams that finished the highest in each conference at the end of the home-and-away season qualified for the preliminary finals. <<<=== Clarify opposite prelims (i.e. 1st in A plays 2nd in B).
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The Carlton Blues, which was <<<=== Should it be "which were"?
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * much, much worse <<<=== one "much" is enough
 * ✅ Deleted.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you link wooden spoon? (or state it means last place)
 * ✅ Linked per WP:WHAAOE.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The Crows went on to an impressive season, notching up seven games by an average of 40 points, with their only loss for the season being by a single point in the first round match against the Western Bulldogs, when they kicked an inaccurate 1.11, and finished on top of Conference A. <<<=== I would suggest splitting this into two sentences.
 * ✅ Split.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * In the above sentence, what does "notching" mean?
 * "To score or achieve (something)"  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * At the end of the second paragraph, you're missing a sentence on how Carlton did during the regular season.
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * In the lead up to the match <<<=== specify "their prelim"
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * You could describe the image of Tayla Harris. (maybe "displaying her athleticism" or something...)
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * misogynist internet trolls <<<=== How about "internet trolls who were regarded as misogynistic"?
 * No, per WP:WEASEL.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Venue

 * Can you link "minor premiers"?
 * ✅ Linked per WP:WHAAOE.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Brisbane Lions should just be Brisbane for consistency?
 * We are using the template, and this is the first time it appears.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * a record for an standalone <<<=== "an" again
 * ✅ Deleted.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Teams

 * Is "line ups" supposed to be two separate words?
 * ✅ Merged into one.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Match summary

 * 50-metre penalty caused by ===>>> 50-metre penalty on
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * who were caught behind ===>>> who were caught too far from the goal
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * high tackle from Sarah Hosking ===>>> high tackle by Sarah Hosking (to avoid two "from"s)
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * One perfect kick later ===>>> One accurate kick later (I don't think "perfect" sounds encyclopedic)
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The crowd barely had time to cheer before she had delivered it to ===>>> She played on immediately (same concern)
 * ✅ Changed, but with "immediately", which sounds like a tautology to me.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * It did not stop Ponter, who marked a delivery from Jones inside the goal square for her second. ===>>> That did not stop Adelaide's control of the game, as Ponter marked a delivery from Jones inside the goal square for her second a minute later. (It doesn't sound like Ponter specifically was related to Scheer's injujry.)
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That looked like it for the quarter, but when the siren sounded Jones still had a free kick at goal. ===>>> After the siren, Jones still had one last free kick at goal.
 * ✅ Re-worded.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * A pass from Forth and Phillips marked 40 metres out, and had her second goal of the match <<<=== The grammar in this sentence is a bit confusing. It doesn't sound like Phillips is the one kicking the goal.
 * ✅ Re-worded.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * But then, Phillips went down ===>>> With a few minutes remaining in the quarter, Phillips went down
 * ✅ Re-worded.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * In the image caption, you can state "best on the ground" instead of "player of the match".
 * ✅ Changed.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Media coverage

 * Okay.

Overall

 * At times, the match summary reads more like commentary (albeit pretty good commentary!) than an encyclopedia article. I'm okay with most of it, but I pointed a few things out.
 * And I've changed them. I've been accused of sounding more like the history channel than the historian.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Two Canberra Times links don't work: one and two
 * Fixed these.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:02, 15 March 2020 (UTC)


 * No dab links.
 * Well-sourced.

Overall, it's in good shape! Above are some suggestions. Placing on hold. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC)


 * : Okay, passing! Do you want to list the article under the "Women in Green" sports section for articles promoted to GA in 2020? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:29, 15 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Sure. I thought you already did for some reason.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:04, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
