Haven’t seen Rowe at all.
but she won’t be playing R1 due to suspension.
So suspect they want to go with the R1 team as much as possible.
Lambert I assume is just taking it easy in terms of doesn’t need to play. Gets banged up enough throughout the season.

Only saw the back half of the third. But Barber looks an absolute weapon up forward. 2 great grabs on the goal line. Just outsized everyone and clung onto them.

it was a good hitout.

I think we're gonna see a big year from Abbi. Who kicked 2.
Barber looks good too. Some prowess up forward. Contested marking really strong.
Brazalle probably exactly what we need also.

Eliza James, breakout year incoming. Even more so than her debut season
 
Good hit out. Swans were pretty tough and just ran out of gas, which is to be expected.
But the skills looked ok for the expansion team.

We basically didn't run with most of our first midfield (lambert, Cann, Fowler Inj?)
Also didn't play Ruby, Chloe or Butler in last qtr.

I don't want to see Barber in the ruck as she looks far to promising up forward.
She crashed 2 packs in the space of 2 mins at the start of the last. Which is so valuable.
She could be anything....but like a lot of others, she needs to find some consistency across a season.

Evans looks like a real find in the middle.
Crashed into everyone and she is super strong. Some of her tackling was intense. The best part was she bounced up and went again.

Skills looked ok. I'm just not sure i like the chip chip gameplan as it comes unstuck against more experienced sides when we can't find an easy target.

But looks like we're developing some nice depth across the list.

All in all, hoping no serious injuries and a good prep for round 1.
 

Sheridan into the midfield​

Aishling Sheridan was one of Collingwood's most impressive performers against the Swans. Moved in to the midfield late last year with the injuries to Bonnici and Davey, Sheridan looks to be continuing that role in their absence.

Her power and drive was most notable and a real strength to her game. Additionally, she looks to have improved her running ability since last season, covering the ground quite well. She took multiple intercept marks in defence while also being integral in the Pies attacking ball movement.

Now into her fourth season of AFLW, the team will rely on her experience in the midfield.



Molloy in for a big season​

Despite being just 23 years old, Moy is one of the most experienced players on our list having played 35 games.

Her talents have been utilised across different positions throughout her career so far, but it looks like this year she's been put in a position to be the most dangerous player on the ground. She played as an attacking midfielder during the game against the Swans on Saturday.

She started the game brilliantly, earning a free kick to win the first clearance. Her skill with ball in hand makes her one of the most natural looking athletes out there. If she can add true midfield prowess to her well-known nous for goal then she'll be a real head ache for opposition.

She looks fit, happy and ready for a big season 7.



Rucks on fire​

The ruck combo of new recruit Olivia Barber and Sabrina Frederick was on fire on Saturday.

In her second season for the Pies, Sabrina Frederick looks set to play a major role in the success of the Pies for season 7. She did a bit of everything against the Swans, with a lot of ruck time balanced out with some time up forward.

Her ability to cover the ground and impact in all areas was particularly impressive. She took some really important marks intercepting in defence, while also acting as a great beacon up forward when required.

Olivia Barber has spent just a couple of months at Collingwood, but looked right at home in the black and white. Two huge goals in the second quarter really set the Pies up during that period. She impressed with her leap for the footy and showed some class in front of goal. A beautiful snap from the boundary had the whole team up and about.



Keep your eye on the back line​

There are some names in that Collingwood backline you're going to want to remember. Lauren Butler, Jordyn Allen and new recruit Sarah Sansonetti were brilliant for the Pies. Supported by experienced players in Stacey Livingston and Sophie Casey, the backline looked confident and strong in their ability to withstand Sydney's pressure.



Forward line functioning well​

Collingwood put on an impressive attacking performance against the Swans, kicking eight goals.

The pressure was on from the get go, with Eliza James showing what she's capable of at ground level. Her second goal was awesome, an outstanding snap from stoppage in the third quarter. She's looking to build on an impressive first season in 2022.

James is able to impact thanks to the strong work from Imogen Barnett in the air. Barnett slotted a goal of her own early, but was instrumental in bringing the small forwards into the game by bringing the ball to ground.

Abbi Moloney was the other dominant forward on Saturday. Her second half was electric, showing some real development over the off season. Her pressure and tackling was rewarded with two goals.



Tarni Brown on show​

We had to save a special spot for Tarni Brown. Unfortunately there were no individual stats available for Saturday's match, but undoubtedly she would've topped the game for disposals.

Brown was huge in and around the contest, and provided the Pies with great spread and speed.

Against the Swans Tarni really showed how much she has grown as a player since arriving at the Pies.



Goals:

Barber 2, James 2, Moloney 2, Barnett, Brazzale

Didn’t see the game but very pleased to read that Tarni played well. Her second season was disappointing - not sure she ever recovered from a big hit in the early rounds - but the promise she showed in her first season was enough for me. Go Tarni👍

Tarni has the the makings of a gun and should start to step up with greater opportunities, and a reasonable run with injuries.

With that said there are much better midfields than the Swans so it will be interesting how she goes once the season begins.

Noooooooo…. !!!! Ah heck I thought we were playing tomorrow. Grrrrr!!!!!

The full stream doesn’t seem to be working. Anyone have a link to a different site of the full replay? I couldn’t see anything on YouTube so I hope it gets uploaded later. I know there’s a highlight clip but I’d rather see the full game first.
