I definitely don't feel qualified to assess Suns women team chances but watching most Lions games I have to say that Leah Kaslar is a gun and was the best Lions player for me. Great to have her on the team. It would not surprise me if she is our first captain.

Kaslar is definitely a gun and we're very lucky to have her. She's going to be an awesome leader for the girls and there's the added bonus of her serving as the inaugural captain of our women's team back in 2016 when we played the exhibition women's QClash against the Lions. It'd be fitting to give her the captaincy four years after she captained in our first women's match. Despite being 34 years of age, she's in amazing shape and doesn't look like retiring any time soon so hopefully Leah can lead us to the promised land and it's third time lucky for her in Grand Final appearances!

AFLW: David Lake post-match
AFLW Senior Coach David Lake spoke to the media following the practice match against St Kilda at Fankhauser Reserve in Southport.
In the betting we are the $67 rank outsiders to win the GF. You can’t bet on the wooden spoon due to the conference system. As a long suffering 30+ years supporter of GC Sports teams I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Found any more information Jen2310? Namely teams.
I’m not reading anything in to that result (other than we [the Lions] still can’t kick straight).
Actually I’ll go out on a short limb and predict our Irish recruit will be our best player this year.
In our 2km time trial, she beat the 2nd place finisher by more than a full lap of QEII stadium.
I'd also like to know who played and where it was played.
Yeah that makes sense. I assume some of the players from Saturday's match against the Saints were rested for this one.
Would like to know who kicked goals for us though because I felt that was an area we struggled in against St Kilda.
Admittedly it could be anywhere because of the blurred nature of background, but it does look like Yeronga.
Sam Virgo and Leah Kaslar are the Captains
Your inaugural AFLW Captains
In a historical moment for the club, the Gold Coast SUNS have announced Leah Kaslar and Sam Virgo as inaugural captains of the AFLW team in 2020.
