    AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

    It's going to be a real contest for spots in the midfield once Rowls gets healthy again, now we've got Russo in, and Painter/Rentsch looking for midfield time. And that's what every good club needs - good players competing for spots. Especially in the midfield, because the midfield is far and...

    This is fun. I've been watching Wolly develop for years now, so it's great just to see her finally make it. Also interesting to see how many mentions West Coast gets - Daisy sends her a special message, which obviously means something to her, and she lists Chuck and Ella as friends and...

    No project players except Collingwood taking another bunch of tall netballers. I know size matters, but it's nuts to me they'd spend those list spots on netballers and not on MacKereth.

    RookieMe says people don't like MacKereth's lack of defensive pressure. Seems daft to me - you can teach defensive pressure. What you can't teach is athletecism and skill, and MacKereth's got both. Given how rare natural forward talents are, any coaching setup worth their salt would surely back...

    In a few years I reckon Russo will be better than Lewis (she's certainly much better at this point as a junior), will probably take over as our key inside mid at some point, letting Roberts move a bit more to the outside. If we can just get Rentsch and Painter more on the ball, in the next few...

    Well played young lady.

    The Demons are the benchmark. No big player ever left Melbourne, through all the expansions. And that's where Daisy's from, no doubt she's trying to build the same strong culture here.

    Mia could end up better than Zanker. Hard to compare mids and forwards, but still true. And we couldn't have afforded the other four players we got, if we'd taken Zanker. I'd much rather have our draft than Freo's.

    Our greatest advantage is that we're currently the best team in the comp IF you look at current level + age/experience. And it looks like the coaches all know it, and are playing into it deliberately - rather than spreading out the age profile like is usually done, they're concentrating on...

    If the draft were functioning properly, she's top 10. Has as good a chance as anyone of becoming one of the great AFLW mids. Total steal.

    Those three are going to need to improve a lot to get games next season. Russo, Slocombe, Patterson, Skepper, then Rowley getting back from injury. Looks like we identified those positions as our weakspot and just blasted it with every pick we could get. Weird draft though - Baker-West...

    That's what I'm hanging out for. I doubt it, but when scouts get it wrong, they get it really wrong.

    I like it now, when it's needed, GC and GWS need to be strong. But I won't like it in a few years when they're strong, and neither will anyone else.

    Mate, so many midfielders now, who knows? We use mids down back, up forward, even occassionally in the midfiled. My guess - where ever she shows she can play. Starting in the middle, quite probably.

    Terrific pick, great player. I never dreamed she'd still be available down this low.
