Good on them - looks great and will probably sell like hot cakes

It does look great, but why the use the colour for one squad and not all? To me it just gives the "not the real Port Adelaide!" troglodytes ammo.
Yeah I've said many times I'd love to see the men's squad rock the magenta as a heritage jumper. We won flags in it. It feels almost childish we haven't brought it back.
That said, pink sells for girls moreso than for boys. From a marketing standpoint it makes sense.

‘The broadcast was almost unwatchable’: The insiders’ view on why Australia switched off AFLW
TV ratings and crowds are well down for women’s football. But AFLW insiders say timeslots, venues, football fatigue and poor broadcast quality are all contributing to hold back the game.

Had not thought of that before but you're spot on.
That Magneta jumper we wore in our club's early days is used as a limp put down by the smoothbrains. Formerly recognising it as the base for our AFLW jumper would be on point, even if it does play to the 'pink for girls' stereotype.
I really just think the AFLW just needs a solid 5-10 years of stability at this point.
The expansion is all done, the product is improving year on year, a lot of the novelty fans are dropping off. It just needs time to breathe now, get the basics right, and develop those core fans that will tune in week in week out.

AFLW girls have to do their own publicity, it seems...

Some athletes work full-time and do months of prep for just 10 games. A new deal could bring them closer to professionalism
AFLW players are pushing for an increase in the number of rounds each season, fairer pay, and enhanced job security.

So this upcoming draft is the third one we will be part of, and we've yet to use one of the draft concessions, is that correct? So we should be able to grab 3 of these women for free, and then grab the remaining one as our first draft pick?

Brooksby is listed as 171cm
Boileau is listed as 172cm
So either something is off there or Brooksby has had a major growth spurt.
No doubt they were saving up until Lauren became old enough, and must've liked what they've seen in a couple of others. Three of them in this years All Australian U18 team bodes well.

Since we beat St Kilda at Moorabbin, they’re now an absolute shoe-in to make it 4 wins in a row since then.
As disappointing as we’ve still been this year, that win is looking better and better now.

Cooper Grech, but still.
Is Alissa Brook really top 10 in an open draft? I thought she was much more speculative.

Yeah the only thing I was going to say was that I wasn’t sure Alissa Brook was rated that highly.
I didn’t hear anything about her pre-draft unlike the other four.
It doesn't really even make sense, because she was behind Boileau, so that would mean SA had 7 of the top 10 players in Australia (if you include Scholz)?
I wonder if he is confusing Brook and Scholz actually.

My changes would be Hannah Dunn and Maddy Keryk in the team for Cheyenne Hammond and Ella Boag

I really liked how Hammond finished the year so I would keep her in. I'd have one of Simmons or Keryk in over Ballard tho. Pressure for spots, how good?
My bigger issue with Blex is she is a good stopper deeper but hasn't shown enough hurt factor at CHB. Probably an IC defender now I'd think.

I still rate Ballard as one of our best defenders.

I think Ballard is just too slow to be a reliable defender unfortunately. Decent kick and she's a good intercept marker at times, but a liability in one-on-one contests if she's even slightly out of position. I'd pick Simmons ahead of her without hesitation.
O'Dea permanently back to defence will be helpful too.
