Of course chosen by Sarah Black...I know these things don't really matter and the only thing that does is winning the next two games and a 3rd flag... but...

They also said that she deserves a statue or a stand named after her one day for what she’s done for women’s footy, while she’s certainly got a great media profile I really can’t see that she’s deserving of any of this for that alone and certainly not for anything she’s done out on the field.
I don't believe the individuals picked for the bottom teams are better than individuals not picked at the best teams.
They have clearly given a participation award for each of the bottom teams. I wouldn't have their selections from Gold Coast, West Coast or Geelong in the competition's top 40 players
The AFLPA has put together a squad of the best 22 players under 22 years old, based solely on 2021 form. From the Crows we have Chloe Scheer and Danielle Ponter.
Not sure Ponter deserves to be there on this year's form, but hey. Gore would probably be in if she hadn't got injured.

You could always make Men's GF week a bye week for the aflw. Or the season break before finalsThere's been debate on the main forum about playing the AFLW season at the end of the year, rather than the start, and I see they're now talking about it on the W Show as well. Was wondering what you all think of it.
I'm all for it, personally. Start the AFLW season towards the end of the AFL finals, when footy fever is at a high but there are few men's games. Perhaps even line it up so the first round happens on Grand Final week, or if they don't want to step on that, start it the following week. That period from October to November is a dead zone as far as quality sports goes, no footy, the cricket season is usually not quite underway yet and there's no tennis. Fill it with women's footy. If the season stays the current length, they can squeeze it in before Christmas. It also gives them leeway to make the season go longer when they eventually decide to, with a break over the Christmas period. Hell, eventually it could turn into a full length season, every team plays each other once and a three-round finals series, finishing up in February without any need to schedule matches against the various men's comps.
I know, footy is a winter sport and it's hot over summer, but it's not like things are any better how it is now. Hell, February is arguably the hottest month of the year and that's when the bulk of AFLW is played. They could play more twilight/evening matches to help avoid the hottest times of day. It would line up with the school/Uni holidays. I think it's a great idea.
Not sure if we even have a choice on the matter. All the girls strips league wide are cotton on? Until clubs can use the apparel sponsor the same as then men's we won't see a changeWith the new prestige placed upon the Crows men's traditional jumper and the refusal to play in it in pre season to make it special, should the club redesign the afl w jumper to closer resemble the traditional version. The current design was beneficial in the early years but now I think the current aflw jumper isn't aging as well.

The Crows have certainly forced a really contested heavy lockdown style of game the last two games against Collingwood and Melbourne and have also almost tempted both those teams to kick the ball to short targets to get their set up right behind the ball, both of those teams really got sucked into that style whereas Brisbane is a totally different style of team they want to run and kick long so it will be interesting to see if like the last 2 games the Crows can lock Brisbane down.The Lions-Pies match was much more open and flowing game than ours. Is that a reflection of a higher pressure match from us, or just better play from Brisbane?
Brisbane only played Adelaide here once right? Travelling for the women's team is still hard, we'd have to be favourites purely based off home ground Advantage, we're the only team to have won an away Grandfinal
