Agreed, though I think Grieser settles into a game rather than challenges it. Needs to be pushed out of her comfort zone.

Not that I noticed, nor did I see Shelby Knoll even though she was on for what must have been limited minutes (was hoping for more as I have hopes for her contribution).

Gee wiz highlights were light on , could Scotty play higher up the ground or lacks the motor , looks like she knows how to play the gameNot that I noticed, nor did I see Shelby Knoll even though she was on for what must have been limited minutes (was hoping for more as I have hopes for her contribution).

Other than our main players remaining injury free throughout preseason I thought Scott was the biggest positive coming out of the two games. When on, very hard to stop.

Scott was very good, she has that footy brain and gets to good spots, a participant! She has a zest for the contest. Shevlin was good, McKenzie had her flashes of brilliance, Demps was around her minimum standard and still OK. As some the Hawthorn highlights indicate, our backs were under pressure a lot and whilst not overwhelmed, they struggled to find system and were a bit too fluky. In racing parlance, one hopes we'll be better for the run!

I think the big plus for Bacon is that she has a pretty strong engine. Add to that her bit of dash and her 172cm frame and you have the makings of a decent big bodied midfield prospect. She was pretty raw when she came into the Talent League Girls program so she has a bit to learn. I hope she can add to our midfield but if not we will still have a pretty handy player at half back.

I see Grace Baba was suspended for striking Laura McClelland.
Laura is not someone I would want to mess with. White line fever stuff. To be continued somewhere down the track.
Laura is not someone I would want to mess with. White line fever stuff. To be continued somewhere down the track.
I also believe we have to do whatever we can to fix our midfield, it's the weakest line for sure now Sheerin's not there. I also believe Grace Egan didn't play on Sunday?, so any outs expose a lack of depth, but also a shortage of a couple of quality mids is a problem. We can't rely on upside of a couple of our youth getting better short term. Will take a year or two.
We have tried to address bringing mids in the trade/draft space, but there are only a few top quality mids each year that come on the market that you think would really help our midfield, and any number of clubs in the comp in same position as us also trying to fix midfields, so we end up in getting next tier down, solid players but not well rounded and not damaging.
The Hawks in 2024 easily accounted for us, and narrowly went down in their finals, however Hawks are a top 4 quality team regardless. If we do end up this year as another middle six finish, and not winning finals, then it will be hard to not have major change as we've now had a few good years to find a way to bridge that gap to the top teams. Hopefully this list, and coach, can prove to everyone that they have it in them to go the next step, as running out of time otherwise.
In the Carlton praccy match Scotty worked from deep forward to wings and looks really fit. Worth giving midfield time for sure, even if not able to have the motor like mon, as permanent mid, can definitely see Scotty as an impact mid when needed.

Hawks' forwards fire in 37-point rout of Tigers
- Gemma BastianiLAST year's McClelland Trophy winner Hawthorn did plenty of damage on the scoreboard against Richmond on Sunday, posting a 37-point win in their final practice match.
The Hawks were impressive in their ball movement, both from stoppage and the back half, and dominated clearances 27-17.
Captain Emily Bates (23 disposals, seven inside 50s) was an impressive connector from the midfield, as was Tilly Lucas-Rodd (19 disposals, five inside 50s) coming from the back half.
Jasmine Fleming (19 disposals, 10 handball receives) moved well from the contest, as did 2024 Hawthorn best and fairest winner Eliza West (22 disposals, three clearances), but unfortunately Casey Sherriff copped a head knock in the second term and was ruled out for the remainder of the game as a precaution.
Young gun Hayley McLaughlin (14 disposals, one goal) looked dangerous teaming up with Greta Bodey (12 disposals, two goals) in the front half, and last year's leading goalkicker Aine McDonagh got busy with three goals.
The Tigers lived dangerously down back for much of the game, trying to use short kicks to exit defence but too often succumbing to Hawthorn's forward pressure.
Katie Brennan dobbed a goal before being put on ice, with the club managing the captain's minutes, and it was when Mon Conti (15 disposals, four clearances) and Ellie McKenzie (seven disposals, one goal) got involved that Richmond looked at its most dangerous.
Laura McClelland (13 disposals, seven rebounds) and Libby Graham (10 disposals, three rebounds) were handy behind the ball, and Katelyn Cox was important in her return from an ACL injury.
Recruit Paige Scott also looks set to offer a sense of physicality across half forward for the Tigers.

Hawthorn 4.5 6.6 7.9 10.15 (75)

It was a great "tangle" initiated by Laura, probably accidentally, but Baba took offence and there you go, the retaliator always gets pinged.
That’s good was pretty plsd to get her to tigerland , maybe she can fill the sheerin breech in some part
Gee Ellie was quiet , hope she was holding backWow, we must have been smashed at contest in centre bounce/stoppage. Bates, West and Fleming with 64 possessions between them and Mon our only mid with more than 10 possessions.
A round 1 pick now is much better prepared having come through local football and the development leagues.
Love Ellie but the guns that are coming now are a class above

Ellie was, in fact, one of the better prepared footballers that you speak of.
She started as a 10 year old and has played over 100 games of junior football and played rep footy before playing for the Knights in the NAB League.
Ellie is a gun. Whoever you think is better, have a look at the rest of the midfield they play with and then think about our midfield. Look at the last game. Put Bates, Fleming, West and Lucas-Ross around Ellie and how do you think she'd fare?
Stats also sometimes lie. She might not have had many possessions but she mostly made them count. She did ok.
I believe that when I see it

Ellie is a jet.
Hawks fell in a heap in finals last season but when they’re up and going well they looked the best midfield last year I thought.
The outside the stoppage stuff, we need to improve on.
I know Sheerin is hard at it and is hard to stop but she didn’t make us any better at that part of the game, from inside to outside with the ball changing lanes.
We really need to be better at that than what we came up with against Hawthorn.

Sheerin's one wood has been that she would crash and bash her way through stoppages winning clearances have a run and kick it 40+ giving us territory. In AFLW, gaining territory has been gold.
I agree 100% . She hasn't done a lot of feeding to our outside runners in Conti and McKenzie.
