Women's Footy Brisbane Lions AFLW 2025

[Section 5]

Lions women team should be used to getting raided.

Let's add a 19th team to a comp that only plays 12 rounds of footy
Surely they wait till at least an AFL license is granted before going ahead with another side

Bad enough they added another team to the VFL that has 21 teams already

Doubt we will get raided besides belle dawes and the new Irish girl we don’t have a star in the younger bracket

Was just about to post the link to this. Fkwits targeting Daks for just being herself. I hope she continues to piss the morons off.

Another horrific performance from the Suns AFLW team getting smashed today by the Bulldogs 6 to 72. They should not be this bad with the Qld talent available and Rowbottom.

There should be no gc team in the comp full stop

There should be no gc team in the comp full stop

I think there are 4-6 teams too many in the competition at the moment.

Ffs, that's horrendous that she has to do that.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Watched a bit of North v Saints this arvo.
I'd quite like to see North win the next 3 games easily, then get rolled in the grannie.
Just turn up a bit too comfortable and cocky expecting to win.

4. Brisbane Lions (8-3, 161.7%)

Opponent: Collingwood at Victoria Park, Sunday 1:05pm

Win: Finish 2nd if both Hawthorn and Melbourne lose, 3rd if one loses, 4th if neither lose

Lose: Finish 4th

Thanks to their immense percentage lead on the chasing pack, the Lions cannot realistically miss the top four, even if they are upset by the lowly Magpies. They can avoid facing North Melbourne in a qualifying final if one of Hawthorn or Melbourne loses. Their most likely scenario is a rematch with the Demons, though probably in Victoria this time.

Copping North in a QF is the easiest path to the GF.

Copping North in a QF is the easiest path to the GF.

Which will require either Hawthorn knocking off NM or us losing to the Pies. Can't say I'd be tipping either of those.

Best of the rest: How Lions emerged victorious from 'quickest AFLW game'

Brisbane established itself as the competition's second seed during round 11, with coach Craig Starcevich saying it was the fastest AFLW match he's seen

Good article here from Fish about the changes we've made to our gameplay following the GF loss last year.

Known for so long as the fittest team in the competition that could overwhelm opponents with their surge football, the Lions were now trying to add overlap run and handball, as well as a short kicking game that could change angles and move around opposition defences.

Seems a good change since we can no longer rely on our fitness to get us over the line anymore

New era of AFLW gear dawns as 10-season uniform deal ends

Hopefully we change from Cotton On being the main supplier of the W guernseys next year.

Hope so too. The fact that cotton makes nothing bigger than 2xl is bizarre.

Good article. More in-depth about how we've changed our game play following the 2024 loss, like Fish mentioned earlier in the week, and how that's paying off at the right time

The biggest short term risk for the AFLW is not bringing Norf back to the pack. They simply haven’t been levelled out to the extent of the other OG clubs.

It would take a AFLW mandate for players to leave North to play for another Victorian team, otherwise nobody good will leave.

AFL saying they are not introducing a salary cap till 28.

Finals fixture will be released after the Crows Dockers game. We'll be playing on Sunday against the Dees at Ikon

With the tier system other clubs could poach their players by offering them a higher tier, but it would also mean booting one of their existing players from those higher tiers.

My interest is in how we defend our aggressive gameplan against the best teams. We can defensively account for the skill errors against the poorer teams but how that goes against the better teams we will see. We did well against the dees a fortnight ago I suppose.

In any event, I think this season has been a resounding success in terms of how quickly we have adapted to the new gameplan. A lot of players have elevated their game.

Except for goal kicking !!!!!!!
