Assuming our last remaining pick will be father/daughter selection Charlotte Simpson, daughter of Sean Simpson https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/charlotte-simpson/ https://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/1385349/simpson-crowned-cats-vflw-best-and-fairest

She seems super mature :thumbsu: https://wyndham.starweekly.com.au/sport/a-lifetime-in-the-making-for-whiley/

Not sure what other AFLW clubs are doing, but securing that 2026/2027 group is huge Wardlaw aside, the groupings and associated contract length is pretty consistent with how you would rank them in terms if importance to the side. Must be a happy joint! I'd expect Ash Richards to push into that...

Signed until 2027: 1 Molly McDonald 6 Tyanna Smith 9 Jaimee Lambert 12 Serene Watson 21 Georgia Patrikios 23 Olivia Vesely 27 Nicola Xenos Signed until 2026: 2 Nicola Stevens 3 Alice Burke 8 Bianca Jakobsson 14 Hannah Priest (c) 16 Ella Friend 30 Jesse Wardlaw 2025: 7 J'Noemi Anderson 18...

Big cut! No real mention of us as yet being interested in anyone, trade opens up tomorrow. Re: draft, looks a little compromised to me at the top - our first pick comes in at #16

That is so St Kilda

At least Fremantle are bringing effort and pressure!

Need to win by approx 40+ to knock Essendon out and guarantee our spot in the 8, which is probably not going to happen based on the first half

The AFLW podcast was unbelievable! Basically the summary our game was Brisbane's loss of players during the off season was too much to over come this weekend. I dunno, wanna talk about our young players coming of age? Liv Vesely & T Smith being injury free and playing great football, Patrikios...

Looking at finals spot (crazy to say after how we started the season). We'd fancy ourselves to beat Carlton next week, leaves us with 24pts. Alot of movement to happen between us, GC, Collingwood, Richmond, Geelong & Sydney Probably prefer Richmond to beat Geelong tonight Would be ideal if...

Awesome Our best win and its not even close

Huge improvement in the last 5 quarters!! Happy to be proven wrong. Cant believe this is the same team from the first 3.5 rounds. Everyone is having a crack, running hard, tackling hard Wardlaw is finally clicking and looking like the dangerous player she was at Brisbane Patrikios is back (?!!)...

This is very obvious and so off putting to supporting the wider league outside of St Kilda. Has anyone from AFLW media (Sarah Black, Sam Lane etc) written about why the expansion packages for Richmond/Geelong/StK/West Coast were so different to Hawthorn/Essendon/Sydney? I don't wanna be all...

Dal has gotta go. No evidence of development We need to throw big coin at a half decent coach Nailed it. Not getting either of Rowbottom or G Prespakis before Hawthorn, Sydney and Essendon gutted the following Vic draft was a huge gut punch, particularly as we had finished 2nd last in the...

Greiser looks fit for the Tigs :eyes:

Yeah I'm suss on the coaching, the movement forward is completely aimless. To not even test the Roos defense in a half of football is not well

Yep this is night and day. Completely different leagues here, not surprising but still deflating to watch. Better players in the team this season but still a massive gap to the better sides that doesn't seem to ever narrow :huh:

https://www.womens.afl/news/118357/will-the-g-train-stop-at-richmond-tigers-in-hunt-for-star-saint FFS seriously :rolleyes: G Train being courted by Richmond Shierlaw firming for North, White on the way to Collingwood. At least we're closing in on a deal with Jesse Wardlaw. I don't blame...

At least Collingwood had to kick a ripper to win that. But yeah, flipping painful St Kilda as per uj

This is where we need an Emma Kearney or even an Ellie Blackburn in the middle, to lead from the front and drag us back into the game mentally. Priest & BJ having to lead the team from the backline is hard enough, let alone when half our backline is out

Gold coast running harder. We're fumbling, dropping marks, missing tackles. Can't win a clearance to save our lives

This combo of wind and heat will be interesting

Starting to see a splitting of divisions within the league. Brisbane Melbourne North Adelaide ---- Collingwood* (H) (down with the pack without Davey & Bonnicci) Richmond Bulldogs* (H) Essendon Geelong* (A) GWS Carlton* (H) Fremantle -------- Hawthorn Port* (H) West Coast GCS* (A) Sydney...

Clearly we were strong armed by a superior side further along the development trail, but to keep them goalless for 3Qs was HUGE especially after that disaster start. Up until we kicked our Q3 goal, time in defensive half was 97% - immense effort to absorb that pressure. And to go again in Q4...

Alice? Yes I thought so too. She's moves the ball with conviction now, and she's a bit of a bull in the contest which I hadn't noticed before

I'll try not to get too carried away as we have fronted up against two expansion teams. But we won those 2 matches much easier than I expected, and we look.. exciting!? The improvement is very clear, skill and ball movement especially. Liv Vesely's skills were on show today, Tarni White keeps...

Probably will be broken several times at North Sydney Oval, however we will take it!

Vax mandate is gone, Patrikios can play! HUGE!!! According to the Herald Sun she's been training away from the club and is considered ready to slot in to training ASAP. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-lifts-vaccine-mandate-for-players-club-staff-20220714-p5b1nq.html

Mix of both, mostly forgotten I reckon. AFL media commentary on our W side is non existent. Sarah Black, Riley Beverdige don't know shit about our squad such is the stunning lack of depth they discuss anything related to us. How nauseating is it watching any AFL media coverage of anything...

I'm optimistic we'll have a better score result, aka get closer not playing at the windbag Casey Fields & Adelaide in Adelaide. But yes I absolutely do feel that HQ has kinda dumped us (& Geelong) for the hotter, younger, shinier expansions I hope this is hyperbolic, and not actually a...
