Women's Footy Brisbane Lions AFLW 2025

[Pns_blister]

A barrier for me getting really into the AFLW in the formative years has been seeing so many of my favourite players being poached year on year. Hope Smith stays

 

[Nathan Barley]

What a ridiculous competition

What a ridiculous competition

Agree, a lot of games have been very ordinary this year. Also, the AFLW "fixturing" has hugely affected ladder positions given they play so few games.

On the AFLW Show today they said Taylor Smith is being chased by Essendon Sydney and Hawthorn.
She is contracted till end of 2026. Also said the Lions are looking at signing her beyond next season.

W Show: All-Australian squad announced, Swans coach departs, three clubs chasing star Lion

Melbourne senior assistant coach Shae Sloane joins the W Show to discuss the 2025 All-Australian squad, the Dees' upcoming qualifying final and plenty more

www.afl.com.au

Why don't these melbourne based AFLW clubs, say, go and raid a melbourne based AFLW premier (i.e north melbourne) who seem to have plenty of firepower sitting on their ranks. It's idiotic they keep coming after clubs elsewhere.

What a ridiculous competition

4th placed club scoring only 3 points in a qualifying final.
And they wonder why this compeition is not being taken seriously

North looms among potential new homes for former AFLW No.1 pick

Raging NAB AFL premiership favourite North Melbourne is one of several clubs in the market for a young Western Bulldogs star if she chooses to leave

www.afl.com.au

It'll be interesting to see whether North is allowed to trade more top prospects in after they got Libby Birch and Eliish Sherrin last 2 years.

League blocked trades that didn't benefit expansion clubs claims former AFLW coach

Former Western Bulldogs AFLW coach Nathan Burke says the league's continued vetoing of trades involving expansion is contributing to the current competitive imbalance in the competition.

www.abc.net.au

If Dogs got blocked as their former coach is stating here, it'll be weird if North were still allowed to recruit Weston-Turner on the back of unbeaten season.

'Focus on who we play next': Lions not buying into potential GF hype

All-Australian squad member Jennifer Dunne suffered a knee injury during the win over Melbourne, but has avoided any major damage and is hopeful of lining up in the preliminary final.

Saturday night prelim at BHA against Hawks/Blues

Saturday night prelim at BHA against Hawks/Blues

Makes sense to be at night due to the heat, hopefully no storms.

 

[LionsMaw]

So it looks like we'll be playing carlton. I cant believe that hawthorn made top4 cos they are playing like hot garbage.

McClelland now sewn up?

McClelland now sewn up?

It was last week but it absolutely is now.

[Nathan Barley]

Not surprising a team that struggled to kick 3 goals a game fell apart in finals

 

[Mr Ripper]

At Last. We are a legitimate football club.

Poppy boltz to Sydney next season , anyone got that mail ?

Poppy boltz to Sydney next season , anyone got that mail ?

No mail, but would not be surprised. She is already getting squeezed out. Great size and athletic attributes, but I don’t think she has the game sense to be a top-level player long term.

Probably does just not in a top team

story. Seemingly unlimited athletic potential and the ability to do things other players can’t do but just couldn’t be a fundamentally consistent contributor.

Read on AFL.com this arvo Zimmie delisted by Dogs. Thought she had some promise when in our list.

She feels like a Jared Brennan story. Seemingly unlimited athletic potential and the ability to do things other players can’t do but just couldn’t be a fundamentally consistent contributor.

Seem to recall a number of people on here had concerns about her contribution around the club and her willingness to improve as a player while she was on the list. No surprise to see her get delisted

The Brennan similarities go on!

@MrRipper would probably have described her as “laconic”, before being respectfully corrected on his misunderstanding of the term.
