Courtney Rowley and the youngsters at Peel are going great v East Freo atm. Not convinced WC should have delisted Bartlett.
Yeah they've got some great youngsters at Peel. Rowley still the pick of the bunch imo but those two goals by Roberts were great.I thought Bilcich and Church were pretty good.
Ella Roberts two goals were awesome from 15 year old kid.
Kira Phillips commenters saying she is 16 and WAFL website saying she is 16. Destroyed the Sharks and pretty straight kick.
Must have got my wires crossed.Yeah they've got some great youngsters at Peel. Rowley still the pick of the bunch imo but those two goals by Roberts were great.
Kira Phillips is 25? Did you mean Courtney Rowley?
Great win Peel. Sorry to Hayley Miller but I'm barracking for the Peel youngsters. Love an underdog story

I treat the Subi women's team completely independent from the men's (they aren't ****s like them until they prove otherwise). Loving both Miller and Stannett helps that but still supporting Peel for the GF despite having zero Freo players playing for them atm. Can't lose really with these WAFLW GFs - will be happy with whichever wins.Must have got my wires crossed.
Does my love for Hayley Miller override my hatred for Scabbiaco?
I will go for Peel.I treat the Subi women's team completely independent from the men's (they aren't ****s like them until they prove otherwise).

BTW Kira Phillips used to be on Freo's list in 2017. She's a bit like the forward line version of Emily McGuire. Very talented but seemingly not quite suited to the AFLW environment.
Yep - http://www.wafootball.com.au/news/19469/optus-waflw-grand-final-venue-confirmedSo the GF at Joondalup next weekend yeah?
i will be there
For those interested, the WAFLW Grand Final is going to be televised on 7 this Saturday.
I considered heading up to Joondalup to watch but have an event in Freo that night so wouldn't make it back in time. Anyone know of any pubs that might be playing the game on a big screen in Freo?
Freo players Miller (#19), Cuthbertson (#26) and Stannett (#22) will no doubt feature prominently for Subi. You should also check out Abbey Dowrick (#23) and Maggie McLachlan (#21) who are prospects this year, plus Charlie Thomas (#4) who is a prospect for next year.
Freo doesn't have anybody playing for Peel but worth watching them to see some top future AFLW talent. Sarah Verrier (#7) and Ebony Bilcich (#17) are two prospects this year. Verrier was injured in the first passage of play last weekend and didn't return to the ground, so not sure if she will be playing (it was her first game back so she's been a bit unlucky lately ). As for future drafts they have two absolute top end talent in Courtney Rowley (#18) and Ella Roberts (#38).
A lot of these best up-and-comers in WAFLW (including others like Chloe Reilly from East Freo) are excellent on the outside so look to the wings and you should find a few of them
edit - I forgot Cuthbo is out with an MCL - big loss for Subi down back.
Thought she did well in the ruck against Bowey on the weekend. She'd be fairly undersized as an AFLW ruck though.What do you think of Abbey Barndon?
I would hope that mature age players get a chance.Thought she did well in the ruck against Bowey on the weekend. She'd be fairly undersized as an AFLW ruck though.
Peel has a few in their early 20s like Abby. They are probably all a bit unlucky with the timing of AFLW. Teams invested in mature bodies in the early years of AFLW and now the under 18s coming through are projecting at a whole new level, so clubs are investing in the youngsters, leaving few opportunities for those in their 20s that aren't already in the AFLW system. I just hope the WAFC invests in WAFLW because it is still miles from its potential ceiling and it could become a really attractive comp to watch in the not-to-distant future.
but how can Miller hear your voice as you scream and shout your support?
I want Abby and her team to win even more after reading this.I’m going for Peel so she won’t anyway.
You must be wavering about now?I like Peel but i like Miller
What I noticed was the amount of players from the South West.Peel are a wonderful club. They cop a lot of sh*t from the WAFC and the western suburb club supporters but they deserve this result.
The ladies and the coaches and support staff worked their arses off for this and thoroughly deserve it.

Seems like a massive advantage.
