I just wanted to thank ImperialPurple for showing such support and enthusiasm for the women’s team. You have really drawn me in to be a better supporter for the girls, and I suspect you have drawn in some others.
Good work.
Good work.

Aw thank you! Really appreciate the comment, and really happy you’ve jumped on board. The girls are awesome, I hope you get to love them as much as I (and a fair few others) do! Get around them peeps!

Random post here...A quick scan over a one Sarah Black's LinkedIn profile, reveals that she possesses a degree in the Arts and a diploma in Journalism, but my question to the universe is - "What footballing background does she hold?"
Hmm, the plot thickens! lol

I mean i'm all for an SB pile on but she is very knowledgeable on football and it's pretty clear from her live tweeting that she watches every game which makes her an instant improvement on most of her colleagues

Unfortunately the standard is set very low from AFL men journalism and commentary. Eddie, Dwayne etc etc etc
Black is just high-profile in these early years of AFLW.

I have only ever seen it mentioned in articles. I believe at the moment it's:
Aine Tighe - ACL
Leah Mascall - ACL
Alex Williams - wrist
Ann McMahon - generally smashed up still
Phil Seth - heard she has an injury, but don't know what or even if it's true.

thank you, thank you, thank you
it's about time the AFL website treated the AFLW section with the respect it is due.
Many of us love the game and want up to date info.

You're welcome, and I agree.thank you, thank you, thank you

I love your signature! We must be the same vintage - that was such an incredible group of players. I remember being right at the front at the 1980 GF and jumping over the fence as soon as the siren went, running across the field to get autographs, give the players pats on the back. Such elation! (Of course I was only 3 at the time...
)I was just saying only 5 mins ago, I think I'm going to join South Freo this year. Watch the fellas smash it, and the girls get smashed...

It would be so good if the AFLW girls who aren’t getting a game right now could play so they could press their claims for selection.WAFLW starts again on the weekend.

West Coast board think they'll take Franklin and we get Rowley as it currently stands.
I'd be happy with either of them but prefer Courtney. Rowley meets our needs more, Franklin their needs more.
I want Chloe Reilly with our second pick as well... might be hard.

Here's a sad story
1979 when I was living in year 7 in east Fremantle heartland I was there when South lost the gf.
The following year I opted to go to a mate's birthday party instead of the gf.
1981 i was there again
1992 again, I saw a loss.
It did come good after that, but I had to wait.
Just like my AFL team (boys version). Hopefully the girls get me an earlier reward.

That’s awesome.
While our team is doing well, having three years of drafting that equals or betters West Coast is a great thing.
Franklin is she related to Buddy?

THANK YOU!
Condensing all this into one post I’d brilliant - much appreciated!
Is the WAFL site streaming any of the games do you know?
The East Freo v Peel game will be live streamed via Front Row Screens.THANK YOU!

The SD v Claremont will be streamed via The West. Need subscription - which probably no-one would have by choice. They offered me 50% discount the other day
I said no of course. Getting desperate it seems.

Sabrina Fredericks + Perkins, they need to get serious about playing this game. A massive effort needs to be made by themselves, to get their bodies 100% ready for the season.
Body size will only get you so far. Vertically challenged for their weight.
