Really like that pic as well. Being a Dalgleish enjoyer since the moment we drafted her I've been stoked with how well she's adapted to the game as someone who everyone else had pegged as a 'long term prospect'

Proof that the daisy effect is in play already.... Seeing what she's done with our program in such a small amount of time will only serve to help more follow this pathway back home and to rise with the young talented group we've got developing

I feel like this is very difficult to answer without knowing the fixture because there are going to be an upper echelon of clubs who will be better than us and if we get all of them on our schedule we may not make finals, based purely on the short AFLW season and the potential for a club’s percentage to get wrecked by being stomped by North, Brisbane, etc.
I think it will be a very interesting season regardless with a still very young list and all of the new recruits being quite young (two draftees, a second year player, a third year player with one AFLW match, and a fifth year player). A big watch point for me is Daisy, who is out of contract at the end of the season. No doubt we will want to keep her but I would also assume that some Vic clubs will be trying to lure her home.

It's going to be a real contest for spots in the midfield once Rowls gets healthy again, now we've got Russo in, and Painter/Rentsch looking for midfield time. And that's what every good club needs - good players competing for spots. Especially in the midfield, because the midfield is far and away the most important line in women's footy, even more than it is in the men's.
Next year, I want to see a) individual improvements in the young list, and all those kids hitting personal bests, etc. And b) a big reduction in the gap between our best players and our worst players.
As a result of a and b, I'd like to see c) an improvement in skills under pressure, clean hands at the contest, targets hit, etc. Our physical pressure is right up there under Daisy, but our ball skills need to catch up.
So long as I see all those things, I'll be happy with less wins, more wins, the same number of wins - the fixture's going to be much tougher, as others have said. I guess you could add d) when we come up against the big teams they'll throw us up against next year, we have to look like we belong out there, and are a serious chance.
Get all those right, and I'll be happy with whatever win/loss results come with it.
Oh abso-f*cking-lutely. A shame she fractured her wrist basically a month before the season. Watching her she always seemed in the contest, at every ball, but was either getting a wrong bounce when it got to her or would attempt a clunk and would just catch half a bobble and it'd come out.
Love her size and physique, hope we can lock her up long term some time next year.
