    We are going to have to see 4-6 players improve significantly next year. We've made ourselves weaker and we haven't had this bad depth since season 1. This is a team aiming for making the finals, not establishing itself as top 4. Looney will be like a mature age recruit if she can adapt. And...

    Great we're getting Gilroy for another season. '26 looks like it could be the swansong for a lot of players. So '27 should be a target for a lot of the youngsters to know the level they need to reach. It's no Carlton and their ex-captain, but don't like the Kemp delisting at all. Not a good...

    In AFLW any draft pick 3rd Rd onwards isn't really worth much imo, so I think we got decent enough on the player trades (in/out) considering its mostly abkut facilitating movement. Though our role in the Taylor Smith trade is strange. Gambling on Sydney's 1st rounder next year at the cost of...

    Who would be sunshine and rainbows in that position? The fact they were always professional on the field and then thrived with a position change too is more important imo than any private grumblings. Maybe not the most accurate kick but the team spent 2 seasons looking for them to get the ball...

    Bit worried. Dupuy could be a final piece to a forward line but could she lead one and take pressure off Aine? And the depth behind to be tested with no Marge. Relying on Vukic/Symonds improving their forward craft. See Adelaide got Egan for a bag of chips. Meanwhile we can't address the...

    I don't think we have good kicks on general in the side. Mack and Gilroy only come to mind really. Even before losing TLR we needed another good kick out of defence, especially if Eardley is up the field. I'm not sure who in the mids you could claim is the best kick. Flem's DE% went backwards...

    Yeah, I'm a bit mystified how we seem to be in this position. It's understandable why they don't release the info publicly but there's only so many different permeations with the four tier system. They've backed themselves into a corner and it looks to shorten their finals window with this team...

    I really don't have a good feeling about this off season for Hawthorn. All the signs seem to be that the side is going to be noticeably weaker next season.

    In her second GF in three years, Eliza Shannon becomes the first player to have played for the Hawks and win a premiership. Not bad from someone we thought wasn't a huge loss from our defence. Clearly fitted in well over there.

    Bates and Flem hoovering up Pendles' votes at the BnF was laughable.

    Well done to Riddell, can't say the same for the umps. I used to think it's unique that our comps have them voting on the player of the season but it's beyond clear it should be an antiquated relic of the past. Garner is going to have had a very decorated career when she eventually retires...

    AFLW Semi Finals - 2025 AFLW Season

    Very good game, thought Adelaide had come back to steamroll Melbourne at 3QT time, but 4QT went the other way instead. Congrats Melbourne, especially coming back from last year. I'm hoping the next final is as good to watch, but I'm nervous that any high scoring game is going to favour Carlton...

    Without trying to shade the specific players, but if we're going into next season without TLR and Gilroy, but keeping Ashmore and Sheriff I'll be very perplexed especially if as a team they're meant to take that next step.

    AFLW Semi Finals - 2025 AFLW Season

    Hawks have 20/30 players cleared as fit, and 4 as tests. I assume some will play, but all who do are going to have above normal levels of soreness for the game compared to what players usually go through at end of season. Everything around McDonagh's knee knock had been managed strange since...

    Careless, rather than reckless imo, but those usually do go to the MRP especially if it's a head knock.
