AFLW General AFLW Talk Thread

[RussellEbertHandball]

Didn't the AFL already say this months ago?

It is who is in next year that has been up in the air.

The AFL has said it's either all 4 in for 2022-23, or 2 in 2022-23 and then the other 2 in 2023-24.

22-23 is next year - there's no new teams coming in for 21-22.

Yep ... and that is what will be announced today!

We have our academy thing right? I wonder what the chances are that the AFL will allow us to use all them as a team, minimising our poaching/draft involvment

Oh what am I saying, it's the AFL. They'll let the Victorian teams + the crows steal them all

We will get in for 2022/23 because the AFL actively want to dent the Crows dominance on the league. Nothing is surer.

I bet the Pissant League will throw a fly in the ointment if they possibly can...

 

[Grave Danger]

All four

Lets do this!

This is brilliant

My 5 year old daughter is going to be so excited to hear this news when I pick her up from school. She just started Auskick and keeps asking me when we will have a team and can she play for Port. It's going to be good to tell her that we have a team she can aim towards playing for.

As a Father of 2 Daughters, one that just started playing, this is ******* awesome!

Ah I thought they had said all 4 in 22-23 or 2 in 21-22 and 2 in 22-23.

My bad.

 

[Marmozet]

Yeah the girls

That video was the worst minute I've spent of my life
and i've watched every adam sander film + star wars holiday special

but good news!

Next steps for Port:

* Get Erin Phillips to the club
* Sign up good SANFLW talent
* Win the first ever AFLW Showdown

Also, which players could get an assistant coach/runner gig?

 

[Andre]

Excellent news. Now Adelaide can go back to appealing to only the over 60's, as the door on otherwise Port supporting girls / women going for them is shut. Hopefully with Federal and State elections not too far away we haven't left it too late to get some of that Women's Sports gravy train money all those clubs that already are in, have cashed in on.

Do we need a trade thread? Wonder who we will seek to poach from other clubs.

Hold up, before we flood the board with AFLW threads, I'm gonna talk to admin to make an AFLW sub-board (like how we got an SANFL one)
