If she fails.

What happens if Eagles make finals in 2 years?

Hope she does. I've only got an opinion on it because I was keen for her to progress through the ranks of the men's game. If she does it won't be token it will be on merit which I'm all for. Did I hear she will still be doing media work? What are your thoughts on that? Unusual

Depends how it's handled. Unusual, but given she will be doing media on the men's, and coaching the women's, not impossible.

My concern would be if her media commitments impacted her ability to act fully as coach, but i suspect that has already been worked out between 7 and WC.

Ideally, AFLW progresses to the point that credits in the bank as a coach at AFLW level is seen as a credit at AFL level.

I doubt it is at the moment, but hopefully Daisy changes that.

Bec Goddard was looking like she could have been the one to change it but I think she has gone as far as she is capable as a coach. Probably knew it too which is fine. At the very least it'll give the women's program a boost over West. Generate a bit more interest than otherwise. Maybe sign a few decent players over the next couple of seasons.

I reckon Emma Kearney will be the one to make the transition

Currently our development coach in the men’s space whilst still playing

Good call. Agree with that.

Don't count out Alicia Eva. Has been coaching in the male space since before AFLW started, and had been intending to quit playing to concentrate on a career in coaching before AFLW came along.

GWS VFL assistant coach, AFL development coach.

Just over 1 hour to go

Seems like a lot of deals still to be done

I'll take a bet and say they've all been done (i.e. Lamb to Port, Gay to Essendon), just the AFL spacing out the stories and creating the illusion of "last minute drama/deals".

 

[Vacuous Space]

Riley Beveridge reporting it's going to be an 11-club deal that will tie up all the loose ends. The question is, how many of these deals could have been done independently and are being sticky-taped together for shock factor to maximise engagement.

I wish it was a hard 2pm deadline and the deal fell over

Long term, I think the Dogs did well, but I suspect they struggle next year.

Why do they delay? should just live stream

Why do they delay? should just live stream

Combination of a few things.

2021 (IIRC?) it was due to Covid - social distancing, state border restrictions, etc

After that, because the AFLW draft is not on Fox Footy and not a big ratings draw, it made no sense to spend the dollars on setting up a live on-site broadcast, with all 18 clubs present, and the possible 1st Round picks (and parents) flown in for the occasion.

Much cheaper to run the draft off-camera, then record via zoom a cross with a few players. It also allows research on any surprise picks (see the draft when Imarah Cameron out of WA was drafted and the "experts" had no clue who she was - the joys of a live broadcast).

Now, the broadcast itself could be "live", with throws to the recorded interviews, but most likely probably recorded late afternoon, and then played back like how a YouTube "Premiere" works.

Just as long as they don't make the mistake like they did in 2021 with the VFL/VFLW awards, where you could fast forward, skip the whole virtual presentation and count, and discover the winners!

 

[Teen Wolf]

I guess I must've imagined the live on-site broadcast for the 2022 draft. Wakfer twins, anybody?

Not sure what the sense was in lions giving up pick 12 when we have only 2 list spots
