The juxtaposition of this one is pretty ****ing good though

Really like that pic as well. Being a Dalgleish enjoyer since the moment we drafted her I've been stoked with how well she's adapted to the game as someone who everyone else had pegged as a 'long term prospect'

Proof that the daisy effect is in play already.... Seeing what she's done with our program in such a small amount of time will only serve to help more follow this pathway back home and to rise with the young talented group we've got developing

Yep, after several full game rewatches I am BULLISH on a Charlotte Riggs breakout year next season... She was a millimeter off producing a rising star contending season IMO.

Also, how clean Rowley was in the middle has gone mostly under the radar. Her importance in our wins over Saints and Port is now very apparent to me. Hopefully our new recruits can fill that void while she rehabs that ACL.

I'm curious though, what is everybody else's hopes and/or predictions for season 2026?

I feel like this is very difficult to answer without knowing the fixture because there are going to be an upper echelon of clubs who will be better than us and if we get all of them on our schedule we may not make finals, based purely on the short AFLW season and the potential for a club’s percentage to get wrecked by being stomped by North, Brisbane, etc.

I think it will be a very interesting season regardless with a still very young list and all of the new recruits being quite young (two draftees, a second year player, a third year player with one AFLW match, and a fifth year player). A big watch point for me is Daisy, who is out of contract at the end of the season. No doubt we will want to keep her but I would also assume that some Vic clubs will be trying to lure her home.
