Have I read right that the AFLW side play on the Gold coast the same week Port are there in Round 1, How stupid to not have a double header like GWS v Geelong are doing.

I swear they said they were getting rid of conferences?
No, they've always said they were keeping them. They copped a fair bit of flack for it too, but honestly there isn't any realistic alternative other than expanding the length of the season.
The problem last year wasn't that there were conferences. It was that the way they split the two conferences up was so unequal as to be almost the worst possible division of teams.
Couldn't care less if people underrate us. If anybody underrates us after the season we had this year, on their head be it.
If anything, Victorian teams should be pissed they won't get a chance to send their local scouts to watch us.
Next season might be history in the making if:
- we top our conference group and best win/score percentage out of the 2 groups
- home final in the preliminary
And if we end up winning the GF (a big if) => first AFL team to win a premiership without playing in Victoria!
Damn that would be pretty sweet!

I don't know how you can underrate the team that will have the MVP for the league, leading goal kicker, 5+ AA's under 20 years old and probably won't lose a game.
There's a crap ton of catching up to us the rest of the comp needs to do, even without our total gunbuckets in Scheer and Phillips.
But whatevs.
Why the * do we have so many Sunday games? Every single game in Adelaide is a Sunday game
The only Saturday games are in Brisbane and Hobart
I'm actually pretty pissed with this draw I have basically 0 chance to see our women play

Yeah I made a blooper. Saw some of the posts saying no games in Melbourne and I skimmed the OP too quick, and realised now the error.
Still, if we can win a premiership without playing in Melbourne, it’d still be sweet either way!

Assuming we won't see Erin, Sheer and Martin in this year due to ACL recoveries, what are everyone's way too early prediction for the following.
Top 5 B&F
Top Goal Scorer
Best 1st Year Player
Most Improved
For me its;
Top 5: Marinoff, Randall, Ponter, Hatchard, Jones (Actually think Ponter should be further up this list based on her talent level, but playing it safe for now)
Top Goal Scorer: Ruth Wallace (Tight between her and Stevie, but I still rate Wallace by a hair)
Best 1st year Player: McKinnon (Only because she was our first pick, I literally know nothing about any of these girls)
Most Improved: Ponter (Will be an outright star by the end of this season IMO, second most naturally skilled woman i've seen play football)

North are playing two home games in Tassie (Giants in Launceston, Adelaide in Hobart) and two in Melbourne (Gold Coast, Bulldogs). At least they are playing at Arden Street, and not in Werribee when the Air Show is going on....
One of the success stories in the AFLW in Victoria has been Whitten Oval and to a lesser extent Princes Park. It's good to see Collingwood use Victoria Park rather than their training ground, Richmond at Punt Road and the Saints at Moorabbin.
WCE are using their new training venue (has two ovals) for their AFLW matches.
They do everything we should be doing - cafe, superstore and venue for AFLW & reserves to play.

I'll have a stab at it.
Top 5 B&F : Randall, Hatchard, J. Foley, (Sarah) Allan, Marinoff
Top Goal Scorer : Ponter
Best 1st Year Player : Najwa Allen
Most Improved : Gore
Haven't stepped on to the field once and the Richmond women's team already have a "traditional" game?
Rather impressive how traditions develop so quickly in Melbourne.
Deaneus!
We Await Silent Tristero's Empire
Okay so we all know Phillips is the GOAT, she's so good it's ridiculous
But quietly how good was Scheer? I haven't seen anyone that natural since I saw Tex as a 16 or 17 yo at Norwood Oval
Just crazy

Ponter over Scheer for me in natural talent.
And thats not a slant on Scheer, I just feel like Ponter is overflowing with skills and talent.
Handles the ball like someone who spent their entire childhood obsessively practicing checkside dribble kicks in her backyard!
She's very very good.
Also we seem to forget we get Wallace back this year too. She was a cut above the rest.

North Melbourne's entry into AFLW is a joint venture with AFL Tasmania (similar to our old set up with the NT). The initial plan was for North to play all of their matches in Tasmania but that never came to fruition.

Not sure I'd call the last one the best, but definitely the greatest story and most memorable moment of the league so far. I was there!

Mate, you and half the state were there
Genuinely one of the most emotional moments I've ever seen in sport.
FWIW, we caught up with Erin Phillips for a 20 minute chat at the USAFL Nationals in Florida.

thanks for that
shame about the windy parts, but that happens - I like how you managed to ask her about her knee without asking her about her knee. I'll be lying if I didn't say it was the main reason I listened to it!
