AFLW is back already and we're kicking off with a GF rematch on Friday!
The teams will probably line up similarly to the GF, the one big out for Adelaide being Phillips obviously, but tbh she isn't the star she once was. Our main problem against Adelaide was the strength of Marinoff and Hatchard around the ball, and Randall/Allan intercepting in defence.
Our attack looks good based on pre-season form (even accounting for the crap opposition). If we can find some targets outside of Harris we should be able to put on some scoreboard pressure and work around their interceptors. I'm still concerned about the kids, but Purcell and West looked solid as bigger bodies inside in pre-season so hopefully can even things up there.
Overall not confident, but hoping we can make up for the disappointment of last season quickly.
