    AFLW 2023 List management - Draft/Trade thread

    The frustration of bottling this season has (mostly) subsided, and there'll soon be a new premier so time to start thinking of the coming draft and trade period. Trade rumours are already getting around: https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1068786/birch-among-three-dees-weighing-up-hawks-interest...

    AFLW Semi Final v Geelong @IKON Park 3:05pm Sunday 19/11

    After arguably our worst performance in the comp, we back up against Geelong. We won comfortably at KP earlier this year but our form seems to have disappeared the past fortnight. Forward line has been a shambles (#ourDNA). My mid-season confidence has dissolved into MFCSS very quickly. We...

    AFLW Round 10 v Brisbane, Saturday 4/11 @ Springfield 7.05pm

    Game day, final round with top spot and maybe a home GF on the line! Adelaide will flog WC, surely, so need a win here to stay first. The Lions have been patchy this year - losing to the Saints badly last week, plus Collingwood and Richmond at home. However they've done well against the other...

    AFLW Round 7 Naarm v West Coast, Sunday 5:05pm EST

    After a disappointing loss last weekend we get an easy kill on the road to get our mojo back. Quite a few changes due to injury from last weekend, with L Pearce, Harris, Gay and Colvin out. Paxy still a week away after headbutting her dog. Rhi Watt makes her much anticipated debut for us! Been...

    AFLW Round 5 v Geelong @ Kardinia Park, 6:15pm SHARP

    After 5(?) Years we're finally playing the Cats! Who will likely be boasting several ex-Dees! The first big test of the year - Geelong are pretty solid this season. Gave North a decent run a fortnight ago so we'll need to be sharp in this one. Should still get the job done but mightn't be the...

    AFLW Round 4 v Hawthorn Friday 22 September, @Frankston

    Hot start to the year for the W team. Haven't played any particularly tricky sides yet, but 70+ scores each week and 10 goal wins is massive for the league. It's cocky but really this is another W coming up, just a question of how much. We faced the Hawks in pre-season and won by 60 odd, while...

    Game Day QUALIFYING FINAL V COLLINGWOOD, 7:20PM @ MCG

    Here we go! Keen as Ben Brown at the broccoli buffet. Pies a very good side across the year, but some shakiness coming into finals. We've had some underwhelming stretches, but come into finals with some promising results. We're capable of winning from behind, but I really hope it doesn't come...

    AFLW 2023 Round 1 v Collingwood, Friday 1 September @Ikon Park

    What's this, a chance to beat Collingwood twice within a week?! Yes, AFLW is back, with us (finally) the reigning premiers. No more Daisy, although she's back to unfurl the flag this week. Hard to measure how much her absence affects us. She wasn't a star in her last year but had a cool head...

    Game Day Round 23 v Hawthorn, MCG - Gawn 200th, ANB 150th

    Big game for us in a lot of ways - need to build some form before finals and need a win this week or next to secure top-4. Also a couple of important milestones. Max's 200th, pretty incredible what he's achieved in his career and established himself as a legend of the club from relatively few...

    Preview Changes/Preview round 22 v Carlton

    Unconvincing win. Petty hurt :'( JJ and Harmes both put in stinkers. Both could be dropped but Goody never seems to make bulk unforced changes. Harmes maybe a hair in front? Tomo seemed missed down back early - May and Lever kinda out of sorts. Clarry should be sue back though, which is nice...

    Game Day Round 20 Melbourne v Ricmond, MCG, Sunday 30 July 3:20pm

    Sunday arvo footy, feels like home. After a couple of close calls against interstate sides at home, lets pray this is more comfortable. Richmond aren't setting the world on fire at the moment; they scraped past the Hawks last week, but could still be a tricky matchup. We battled against them...

    Preview Changes/Preview v GWS in Alice

    Put the tapes of that game on the next Ocean gate sub, please. Lotsa frustrating performances. No injuries (yet) but for now would go: Out: JJ, ANB, Chandler In: Oliver, Bowey (forward), Spargo/Laurie (pending Casey form tomorrow). Would love Gus to get the arse for a week or two but doubt...

    Game Day Round 13 v Collingwood, King's Birthday @MCG 3:20pm

    Happy Sovereign's Birthday all! What a tip top day for football. Sold out game, massive crowd, against the best side in the comp. Hopefully that can fire us up and we play well. Not overly confident of a win (notwithstanding the flu epidemic at Collingwood). We've been scratchy of late and will...

    Wowee what a game, don't think anything has to change from that performance! What do you think?

    Game Day Round 10 v Yartapuulti, @Adelaide Oval 7:50pm GMT

    After a dreary 9 goal win (what a time to be alive!) last weekend we get a big test tonight. Port are looking pretty hot at the moment, despite some key outs up forward. JHF has been a great pickup complementing their other young mids who are coming on well. TBH haven't seen a lot of Port...

    Preview Changes/Preview - Round 9 v Hawthorn (Steven May 200th)

    A tough game on the GC. Maybe some sore bodies - Hawthorn are going the tank so giving a rest might be a good idea. Would be ok with Hibb missing again, Disco was rusty (and playing on a much bigger opponent) but would be good to give him a couple of games to settle. JVR might miss with the...

    Game Day Round 7 v North Melbourne @ MCG, 7.25pm

    With respect to North, this should be a win (and a pretty comfy one at that). No LDU for them. Big Josh 'SNAGS' Schache in for us. Keen to see Schache get a run, and hopefully JVR can perform more like his last quarter v Richmond across a game. Some composure in midfield would be great too, to...

    Preview Round 7 Changes/preview v North

    'That was us' against Richmond - frustrating as shit for long stretches but enough good patches to get across the line. Very good JVR hit the last hard. Seemingly no injuries. A meh performance from a lot of blokes. Harmes looks ready to come back. Probably for JJ? Bowey ordinary with the ball...

    Game Day Round 6 v Richmond, @ MCG ANZAC Eve 24 April

    GameDay! Some big ins this week with Gawn and Lever back. Hopefully settles the defence and gives some stronger leadership this week. Last week was piss poor all round so will need everyone lifting. Team below: Also this year's ANZAC kit honours Bluey Truscott, story:

    Preview Changes/Preview - Round 6 ANZAC Day Eve v Richmond

    Trash game. Spargo misses with concussion; hopefully Laurie puts a strong show in for Casey tomorrow and takes his spot. Tomo should miss for shitness, hopefully Lever is back. Petty spared by an improved second half, but still a meek performance. Bowey very poor. Hibberd hopefully right to...

    Game Day Round 5 v Essendon @Adelaide Oval

    Apologies, very tardy thread this round. Gather round ye children to witness the incredible, superhuman agility of Big Benny Brown at our unofficial home, the Adelaide Oval! We're tall, weather is okish for now but will get wetter at some point. Ideally Laurie or JJ are sub. Discuss.

    Preview Changes/Preview - Round 5 v Essendon

    A pretty dreary 10 goal win. How nice to say that. No injuries I think? Very rusty performance though. TMc will keep his spot; Petty didn't do himself any favours, but it's nice to have a swingman in the squad. Needs to find some campaigner though, played meekly. With Wright and Weird out not sure the...

    Preview Preview/Changes - Round 4 v West Coast at Optus

    What a response! JVR looked great and May had the defence so much stronger. I don't think we had any injuries? BBB was just cooked. Viney wasn't great, but I can't see him getting dropped. Maybe unchanged? Or TMc for Brown?

    Game Day Round 3 v Sydney, @MCG, Sunday 2 April

    I'd like to think we can't play any worse than last week, but against a very tough opponent that could be tested. Sydney have had our measure for years, so not particularly confident of a win but a positive showing after last weeks shitshow would be great. Even so, there's some excitement this...

    Preview Changes/Preview - round 3 v Sydney - Clarry 150! JVR debut!

    Farrrrk. Out: Gawn, Melbourne In: Farris-White/Verrall:$, Casey SRS though a very shit loss with Max down. Hopefully not for too long. I assume we'll go with Grundy and McDonald as rucks; maybe bring back Hibberd and try Riv or Bowey further up the ground? Or unleash the Schache-attack?

    Preview Changes/Preview Round 2 v Brisbane

    Brisbane were ordinary v Port, but you'd think they respond strongly up there. I'm drafting this at QT v the Dogs. How good were we! No need to change after that performance. Great there were no bullshit injuries! OR Out: Melbourne In: Casey (yes I'm aware Casey got flogged today too)

    Game Day Round 1 v Bulldogs, Saturday 18 March, 7:25pm @ MCG

    Here we go again... After a decent off-season a few flecks of shit starting getting flung around with Fritta getting stomped on, Viney hurting his knee, Salem's thyroid playing up again topped off with May pinging his calf a few days out from the game. That said, we looked decent in the...
