Any good reason why the girls are playing home games at paper bag park this season?
Rebuilding Puint Rd Oval perhaps?
Rebuilding Puint Rd Oval perhaps?
Yep, club has announced that it's due to the redevelopment. Good to hear that it's finally kicking off
I’d like to think it’s only good reason as it’s a bloody inconvenient place to get to and will do nothing to grow crowds ,, shame too As I expect we will go well
Oh ok that’s good
Tough start , lions and crows to start ,I reckon we ll be an improver , need to win at least one of these

Sydney (18th) and Port (17th) both in their 2nd seasons and Richmond not scheduled to play either over that time.
We play 9 out of the top 13 clubs from last season and Hawks (15th), Looks a pretty hard draw

We finished top 4 and have improved our list I’d expect a tougher than easier draw

Even Hawthorn may improve considering they got Emily Bates and Greta Bodey last year. Not the only thing they need of course, but they handed us a tough draw.
Anyway, it won't matter that much if we improve this year. We can match our efforts last year if we lose the first two games against Brisbane and Adelaide, and then get on a roll for the rest of the season.
Lions have been knocked around losing 3 good players ,, did their FF go to the saints in the end ?

Yeah, she ended up going to St Kilda. She’s one of the best (if not the best) KPFs in the league, so Brisbane are considerably weaker. However, this happened to Brisbane before and they bounced back from it, so we’ll have to see how this impacts them
Yea they’ve lost 2 A grade mids and best ff in the game no way can they replace that qty , we played very well v them in the HA I dont think their FF played that day
If we are losing to Adelaide at home again we probably haven't improved from last year. It's a decent draw, we don't play 17th and 18th but we also don't play Melbourne who won the comp. Free hit in round 1 against against Brisbane, who will still be very hard to beat at home despite losing a few players, but then every game becomes must win.
She’s a battler tbh , good luck to her , don’t think W footy at this Level is her thing

The wheels, being over 170 and also the environment and support network we got for talented indigenous people, it was worth a shot but I agree with ya.
Not making a strong return after the knee might’ve taken her from a maybe to a needs to use more dedication prospect.
It’d be good to get in another mature age who’s hungry for a shot at it after missing a couple of drafts even only for the training.

VFLW Grand Final on at the moment - half time Port lead Collingwood by 4 pts, having led by 10 into the wind that qtr. Em Harley took a diving mark on the 50, and intelligently gave a que to Nayley Borg to lead up and managed to spot her up for Borg to convert. Probably the nicest play of the Qtr. Collingwood got one back.
Port with the breeze coming up in the 3rd. Port tackling everything that moves!
5 weeks to the start of the AFLW!

After dominating the first half of the 3rd, Collingwood one entry and goals - Collingwood by 2
At 12mins gone, Port's Frederica Frew combined twice with Jessie Wilson for a cracker of a goal - Port back by 4
After a tense last couple of minutes exclusively in the Pies forward line, Port went in at 3qtr time with that 4pt lead, having wasted a fairly good breeze advantage that quarter. So it will be up to great defense, tackling pressure again like the 2nd qtr - sensing Collingwood lifting though.
If we can get the ball in the hands of Harley, Caruso and Borg, good things can happen.
AFL wise, Caruso looks a player, really like the highlights of Jessie Williams, and McKellar can take some good marks in defence.
