AFLW West Coast Womens 2025

[WCE777]

Evie Cowcher to Geelong

best mates with Zippy Fish apparently, might have to save up our future picks for Fish/Wolmarans/Cowcher in the future

The AFLW draft seems even more compromised than the men’s. Gold Coast matching 5 bids in the top 13. How the heck can that happen?

I thought the Suns rorted the mens draft but this is something else

Pick 13 and they’ve brought in 5 players already

Get more AFL funding than any other club as well

At least they suck ass right now. It’s more offensive when a preliminary finalist (with a Brownlow medallist they were gifted as a priority pick) get a bunch of first round picks along with one of Melbourne’s best players.

That makes it 6 matched bids for Gold Coast in the first 15 picks. Bloody hell.

 

[Keys]

Oh look.

Gold Coast match another bid

FFS

Every Vic/SA/WA club should be bitching extremely loudly about what a farce the AFL has turned the draft into.

Yeah and that QLD Nepo Child thing keeps going strong.

Brisbane also still have access tho their own Academy Girls, interesting take on them needing assistance as since its inception of the expanded AFLW competition since 2017, there have been 9 Grand Finals of which Brisbane have been in 7 of them and won 2.

And yet they guys still get a leg up with their own Academy Girls.

There’s a bit of a “what’s the point in being a fan of this sport” vibe in both the men’s and women’s comp when other clubs get such a free ride to the detriment of the others.

How can the AFL look at that and go “yep the fans love this”

 

[WCE777]

3 spots to go

 

[InTheWings]

Port’s pick has been in for ages but the commentators keep yabbering on. Hurry up! I want to see who Gold Coast matched for next!

The AFL Mens got a draft complaint song. So here is one for the Womens as well.

Meanwhile the Vic media spent 90% of their time in the “fairness of the game” space debating whether we deserved any assistance at all from the AFL, after all look at the Tim Kelly trade hurrr durrrr

Where does she slot in for us?

 

[AlphaSheep]

Terrific pick, great player. I never dreamed she'd still be available down this low.

Where does she slot in for us?

Mate, so many midfielders now, who knows? We use mids down back, up forward, even occassionally in the midfiled. My guess - where ever she shows she can play. Starting in the middle, quite probably.

Holy shit, I'd be impressed with that physique even in the men's AFL draft. Looks like a bull and an athlete at the same time.

 

[WCE777]

about 14 picks left with this farce GC matching and losing their picks, sometime in the next hour we will get another pick!!
