    The irony is, it might just be that the SANFLW is actually stronger, and produces high quality players who go to the AFLW and DON'T get cut. The WAFLW team has heaps of players who did get cut, but are still that much better than most state-league players. Then you import Steane and Sheppard...

    I'm surprised but not astonished. You go through the WA team, there's a huge number of players who are hitting their peak, or who were in the AFLW a few years ago (the bottom of an AFLW list, but it still counts) - people like Steane, Sheppard, Shannon, Lindgren, Johnson, Sergeant, Webb...

    This is the other story of women's football - the state leagues are improving really fast too. So many ex-AFLW players on this team, and some who only missed getting picked by a whisker. It's easily a better team than any AFLW side in Year One.

    The thing they're concerned about is her speed. Being a train-on will allow coaches to see that speed for themselves, because it's the only area she's been lacking. If they see that her speed is fine, then probably a) we'll grab her ourselves, or b) everyone in AFLW talks, I bet other coaches...

    Roberts is our only guaranteed inclusion in the Australian squad. Any others? Thomas would be a shot, but I reckon the veterans will get picked by selectors over the kids. And there will probably be five gilrs from North, which makes it hard for everyone else. Pretty cool to finally see an...

    Yeah, but you have to spend draft capital to get experience. If you can spot super-talented kids without much experience, you can get them pretty cheap, like we did with Slocombe. (and we got SO lucky with Russo). Experience sounds nice, and it works for some other clubs, but Swanny was the...

    There's now only four players in the team older than 25 - Gibbo, Swanny, McGrath and Western. I think that makes Roxy the fifth oldest player in the group at 24. And maybe Lindgren?

    Wasn't that fussed about this draft until I saw this. Size, and serious wheels.

    Good preview of the best main draft talent here - AFLW U18s Academy vs Carlton VFLW, played last weekend. Two former Eagles in Carlton - Di Donato and Elkington. The Academy smashed them, of course. Skills a bit scrappy in the first quarter, but the athletecism advantage is enormous for the...

    I saw Slocombe's one and only game for North - she had a great game, looked genuinely good. If North's midfield had had some injury problems, likely she'd have gotten many games and would be considered a big prospect. I'm pretty bullish. Interesting to see how we go in the preseason draft -...

    Jamie's one of the most talented players ever to come through WAFLW. Just not in the athletecism department. Elite kick, vision, smarts, etc, etc. If she had just average AFLW-level athletecism, she'd be a killer, but she doesn't. Great to see her putting the work in though. There's an ongoing...

    Bella Nelson looks like a unit. You think she's going to get any seniors games at WP this year?

    I remember her from watching the U16s last year online. From memory, she was my 4th best WA girl, behind Charlie Fletcher and Tiama Collard from Peel, and Bella Nelson from West Perth. I just recall that she was tall and fast with skills, looked very likely. But then, there's lots of really...

    I'm usually good with names/pronunciations, but I'm hopeless at Irish, and Polish. And in the AFLW, wouldn't you know it...

    If that's the case it could even drop her down the draft order. Interstate clubs will only pick players they think are some chance of sticking around. If after all the interviews they get the impression she'd much rather stay in Perth, they might just leave her to us. Worked for India Rasheed...
