Giants are playing 8 of their AFLW listed players (including Jess Doyle and Georgie Fowler) to our two.
Completely lopsided team lineups?

Agreed. I figured we'd get walloped but didn't expect it to be that bad thoughTalent-wise yes. They have access to Southern NSW/ACT for players while we don't. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Season seven of the AFLW will now commence in the last weekend in August, and consist of ten home-and-away rounds and a four-week finals series, with the Grand Final to be held on the last weekend of November.
The CBA deal will result in a substantial pay rise of an average of 94 per cent across all four payment tiers, with players having been particularly keen to have their unpaid hours (maintaining fitness, recovery etc) recognised in the new deal.

Should probably go in the Media page but this one is a biggie - Meet our Team everyone!!
Still have the National Draft so we'll be adding to it and there's further information to be found here Club Focus - Sydney Swans 2022 - 5 more commit to the Swans!27. Is that the full list?
I posted this (without last night's 3 picks)Haven't followed AFLW at all largely because I'm watching cricket and we never had a side but I'm now interested. Can anyone give a rundown on our list so far and what our actual prospects are like?
Not sure who the muppet was that decided 5.10pm on a Sunday at Arden St was a good idea. Shame the metro tunnel won't be done by then, could be on a train and at the stadium within the hour from 60 odd km away.Fixture has been released

Yes,Pumped that we have our first game at North Sydney oval. Makes much more sense than having our ground out West.. Also like the GWS game at the SCG, could potentially have a men's final there that night so could be a great day out.
Yes,
But is it not strange we are barely using Henson Park? Isn't it meant to be our home ground? We even have a home game at Punt Rd Oval against Hawthorn which is weird.
Only 2 games at Henson Park
1 at SCG
1 at North Sydney
1 at Punt Rd
Well, get used to it. The money being pumped into that ground as the home of the Swans AFLW means its here to stay.I assume that round is a footy festival in Melbourne for the GF which would explain it.
To be honest it is a bit strange but I'm not keen on Henson at all so I'm happy enough with it haha.
Work in progress - not sure expected completion date - maybe why "later" in the season?Yes,

I think the problem with the AFLW effectively being in the AFL off season is access to ovals. My presumption is that North Sydney and the SCG would only be available until certain dates before they are solely used for cricket. I'm going to assume Henson Park is an AFL sized ground that is not used for cricket over summer. The delay in playing there could very well be due to the building works on facilities?******* stupid having it in the west, no matter how 'inner' west it is.
North Sydney Oval seems the perfect, most logical home, but meh.

In June 1947, South Melbourne Football Club advertised for women who'd be keen to play a game at the Swans' Lake Oval headquarters the next month.
As an added benefit, their efforts would raise money for the Red Cross 'Food for Britain' appeal that was delivering desperately-needed resources for a ravaged England, which was still recovering from World War II and was now at the mercy of catastrophic floods.
