This is a great development for our women's program. Can we expect to see all our stars running out or are some contracted to play VFL for Melbourne clubs?

Give the man some likes if you read the twitter article, it means his employers know NSW articles are getting traction.

I think rebel must be the sponsors.

Great that we're playing in the VFLW. Pity it's only for rounds 3-7.

I thought it was "Smithy's VFL competition"?
Maybe because we are only playing 5 games??

1. Isn't Smithy's the blokes?

2. That was the 2023 season. It can change from one season to the next.

Draw has been announced - for those seeking clarity the main sponsor is Rebel:

GWS GIANTS and Sydney Swans to each play in five matches during the VFLW season.WTF??

Swans' first VFLW game this weekend!

I don't know if these VFLW games are streamed anywhere, but at one level it probably doesn't matter since they've been thoughtful enough to schedule our maiden VFLW match as a direct clash with our AFL match.

Looks like they're livestreamed via the AFL app, just like the VFL games are

I spotted that after I posted. But it's hard to watch a stream of the women at the same time as watching our lads.

Not far off a full side. Should make a good account of themselves.

 

[Callipygian]

I was puzzled about how we could play an AFLW team in a VFLW comp when the games are for points. I found out the answer. As I understand it, all our games are against other clubs which have affiliated AFLW teams and they are encouraged to play their AFLW players for the matches against us.

Apparently the Bulldogs are reluctant to play their AFLW players, and if they don't play them we are hoping to smash them and thereby incentivise our opponents for the following matches to play their AFLW players to avoid suffering substantial damage to their percentage.

Looks like all but our most senior players (Molloy, McEvoy, Lochland, Tarrant, Privitelli, Collier (is she still injured?)) will play. Some other players are just a little mysteriously absent e.g. Heads, Mitchell, Smith, Sergeant-Wilson, Morphett, O'Sullivan, Hurley.

The players facing suspension (Lexi Hamilton and Sheppard) are going to play and it seems their suspensions won't apply until the AFLW season begins.

All our new recruits are in. It appears that Hillier has snagged Ford's old number #3, Grunden has got Newman's #16 (and is playing her role, or something similar to it), Davies has Cavanagh's old number #27, Cooper has Bridie Kennedy's #2. Higgins old number #17 remains vacant.

Never heard of Abbey Martin. Never seen Senna Gulden in action - I wasn't sure how old she was but I just checked and she turns 23 on Wednesday.

Senna looks interesting. Sydney girl playing as an inside mid in SA. Made the competition best of team.
