    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    Almost as though the huge gap between top and bottom teams isn't as huge as people were saying. It makes our wins against lower teams look better.

    So presumably that will be Lindgren out for Boyd, if we play her forward (can't think of any defenders to cut right now, and apparently Boyd has played forward before). And Smith down back, pushes Rentsch to the midfield, where Bushby misses out.

    Now they just need to come to the games! Club media need Daisy and the girls making direct appeals to fans, get it out to peoples email inboxes, on the news, on social media (the men's account, not just the AFLW account). Basically "come to the games, let's start a movement, we'll win more home...

    I thought I'd hate it, but as I read it, it's not a bad suggestion. Just for the next few years, at least. But then, I also don't think it's really necessary. The AFLW is very different from the AFL in that the top 30 picks are already better than %90 of the current AFLW seniors, and given the...

    Better win some of these upcoming games. Last four rounds are Crows, Cats, Swans and Blues. All would start favorites against us except the Cats, but even they're much better than the ladder suggests, they had a tough fixture and just beat the Bombers pretty comfortably.

    Riggs; I think the talent scouts thought maybe she wasn't so fast. I recalled from the U18 games she was a great mark and kick, but the mobility really surprised me. You're right, some of them will be kicking themselves, I think we got a steal. Lindgren; done great to get where she is, but is...

    Game Day AFL Round 4, 2025: Waalitj Marawar vs Yartapuulti

    Best part was, we were fumbly and below our best for much of the game, and still won, and won big. There's just so much improvement yet to come with this team, their primary task every game is to get better, and not only are they doing it, they're winning at the same time. Roxy played her best...

    Free kick imbalances usually mean one team is outmatched one-on-one and playing behind. Can't defend without fouling.

    AND, Lewis named on the bench as part of the midfield rotation, rather than in the forward line. Obviously, you can't trust the positions they publish, but from what we saw last week I reckon it means she's a proper midfielder again now. Roberts, Rentsch, Painter and Lewis is about as talented...

    The big thing I want to see is Lewis in the midfield, instead of being stuck in the forward line. She was huge for us in the last quarter against the Saints, some massive clearances that led to goals. We're so much better with her on the ball.

    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    Yeah, pretty much. Drennan, Hosking, Lindgren, McDonald, Western, Hooker, Smith, Bakker... without any knowledge of their situations, it's hard to say, but there's plenty on the outer, either because they haven't been playing great, or are getting old, etc. But then, Smith is great, she could...

    At the rate the top kids are pouring through the draft, there will be some very good AFLW players who will go from hero to zero very quickly. I mean, look at how good our four draft kids were from last year. Another four this year, another four the year after... pretty soon they'll have replaced...

    Huge improvement by Johnson, was 4-6 weeks last week, I think. Not sure we can fit both her and Smith in the team, though - they both do the same thing and the backline's already a bit small, so can't play both. I reckon Johnson will get the nod, she seems to be regarded as the better player...

    Yep. Signing the right players is important, obviously, but if the team's not excited to be together, and play together, then they're wasting their time. Not only does she know what she's doing, but she knows how to inspire, and you can't be a great team without that kind of attitude.

    And the last piece of the puzzle, Lucy Boyd - some highlights below. The injury list says she's due back in two weeks. Looks like a unit, and can apparently play forward, though listed as a defender. Unless one of our key backs goes down, I reckon throw her forward, drop either Lindgren or...
