AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2023 [GF: North vs Brisbane @ Ikon Park, Sunday 3 December @ 2:30pm - NM 27 - 44 BL]

[Luke72]

She did miss the first few games of the season and all but 3 minutes of the Grand Final.

I think the GF highlighted her importance

How AFLW clubs can add to their lists this month

Anybody got any names we could look at as potential list fillers?

And is it possible that we may look at bringing back a player like Granville or McCarthy, especially if Wall decides not to return?

So 1 week left to fill the final list spot and still no word

McCarthy is the type of player we should be targeting more KPF depth and someone to replace Shierlaw next year

Great news, they’re all important parts of the team.

Your club's best 21: Who's in, who's out, who's new

Your club's best 21: Who's in, who's out, who's new​

Gemma Bastiani has compiled her predicted starting 21 for each team ahead of the 2024 season
By Gemma Bastiani

B: Jas Ferguson, Sarah Wright
HB: Emma Kearney, Libby Birch, Erika O'Shea
C: Taylah Gatt, Mia King, Lulu Pullar
HF: Jenna Bruton, Kate Shierlaw, Alice O'Loughlin
F: Emma King, Tahlia Randall
FOLL: Kim Rennie, Jas Garner, Ash Riddell
I/C: Isabella Eddey, Nicole Bresnehan, Amy Smith, Vikki Wall, Niamh Martin
Depth: Lucy Burke, Tess Craven, Elizabeth McGrath, Zoe Savarirayan, Eliza Shannon, Ella Slocombe, Georgia Stubs, Ruby Tripodi
Note: North Melbourne has one list spot left to fill

The assumption that Vikki Wall will return to AFLW this year will see her slot back into North Melbourne's attack, while the recruitment of dual premiership player Libby Birch unfortunately squeezes Eliza Shannon out of the backline. Tess Craven will be unlucky to miss out, despite a strong finals series, given the impact of Taylah Gatt and Lulu Pullar, while both Bella Eddey and Jenna Bruton can also reliably play the role. Ruby Tripodi and Zoe Savarirayan offer forward depth, while draftee Ella Slocombe is likely to need a strong forward presence if she is to break into the side, given the strength of the Kangaroos' midfield.

Is it still an assumption Vicki will be back or is it definate?

She says she is returning next season, but I don't think it's confirmed at this stage and may not be until after the Olympics.

Welcome to North.

This is how good sides stay at the top even in a draft system; the best talent want to be part of it

Kellie Underwood is just going to confuse her with someone else anyway so problem solved.

I look forward to the many variations of player confusion or word salad from her and others…someone in our recruitment team has a wicked sense of humour….

Interesting how we're prolific Cat B signers (or equivalent of) in AFLW and absolute non-participants in AFL.

Alistair Nicholson pronounced Niamh Martin "Ni-Arm" in one of the finals matches last season, I think he more than anyone will struggle with the Irish names.

Bla-heen Bogue

I’m guessing we’ll hear a bit of name butchering with some Neem (Niamh) and Blaffin/Blayfinn’s (Bláithín). One of the commentators kept saying Neem Martin

Mrs Kraks:
"So, what will the Australian commentators call her? Blath-ann?"
Kraks:
"Brian Taylor could literally call her anything"

Looks like she can kick with both feet as well, which is a bit of rare talent in the AFLW, if she can do that with an AFL ball she could be very dangerous up front.
