Some good stuff happening with our AFLW team this year. We appear to have appointed a much improved band of assistants for a start. Coach Siekman also seems to be more embedded in the club (he was part of the team which recently went to the NT). Hopefully all this is an indication that the club is taking the girls team more seriously.

The thing which gives me heart in some of the player comments is that they're talking about clearer lines of communication between coaching staff and players, and there seems to have been an implicit acknowledgment that the game plan last season was (a) too complicated and/or (b) not suitable to our personnel.
 
More indication that we seem to now be taking more of a longterm approach. I don't know about the comments around not playing 2 wings last season though as we often looked to have two extras in the midfield leaving us exposed at both ends.

Also tucked at the bottom of that article is info on a practice match:
Collingwood takes on Melbourne in a practice match on Friday, January 18, at the Holden Centre, ahead of its round one, season-opening clash against Carlton on Friday, February 2, at Ikon Park.

What does a $2 ticket get you that isn't available via the free GA option?
 
Had my photo taken with the team late today, as part of the sponsorship package. Saw Fearntastic there too!

Quite a few sponsors in attendance, and others who'd won a competition to be part of the photo shoot. We milled about in the foyer, saw the girls go in and line up on the stand, then they were joined by the coaches and assistants (shout out to Lynden Dunn) and Christine Holgate. There may have been other CFC Board members in there, but none I recognised.

After they finished with the officials, we were shown in one by one, and directed to a seat in the front row of the stand. The girls cheered us, there was much smiling and waving, and then it was done.

I felt a bit foolish and self-conscious, TBH, but still chuffed. The photo will be framed and sent out to me. If that's done in 'Collingwood membership time', then it could be months.:D
