Chance of May come backAre they a chance to miss next week? Might open the door slightly for us...
To go from a winless/wooden spoon season to still having a legitimate chance to play finals in the second last round of the season is a pretty big jump. Definitely disappointing for it to end this way (particularly the draw against the Bulldogs and the loss to the Saints) but our girls can take a lot of confidence going into next season with an extra preseason in their legs which will allow them to run out games better. I felt that was one of our issues this season but you expect that with a young/inexperienced list. Hopefully Pregelj is back as well because I'm of the opinion that our girls would have played finals this year if Jade had not gotten injured. We also have some exciting talent coming through our academy with Alana Gee and Fleur Davies pretty likely to play for our AFLW team next season.Ah well. There’s always next year! They exceeded expectations this season, but still left me disappointed.
It will be interesting to see whether Pregelj does come back in 2022/23To go from a winless/wooden spoon season to still having a legitimate chance to play finals in the second last round of the season is a pretty big jump.

Brighter days ahead for our girls!
This team is in good hands.

AFLW to start new season in August

Fair to say it'll be a 17-round season where every team faces each other once and that will be followed by a four-week finals series. We'll finally get a true indication of which teams should be playing finals. I also like the fact that these dates work around the Sevens World Series which I can only assume dramatically increases our chances of bringing the Levi sisters back into the fold.Looks like Jade won’t be playing next season
Won’t be given 17 rounds and 4 weeks finals will take them through to mid January. This is the point of the change- reduce matches playing in finals.Fair to say it'll be a 17-round season where every team faces each other once and that will be followed by a four-week finals series.

Hopefully our recruiters can find a high quality tall defender to replace Pregelj either through the draft or a trade because I personally feel her loss cost our AFLW team a finals berth this year.
