Yeah, I feared as much. So all the hard work and money spent in the Girls Academy is currently destined to benefit all the other clubs in the AFLW if the elite girls like Doyle have no Swans team to go to.With the Swans losing $6 million during 2020 covid and cancelling/postponing/pausing their $65 million redevelopment of both the Hordern Pavilion and the Royal Hall of Industries (RHI) for new training and administration facilities, everything may be on hold with lack of facilities??

Tom Harley
“It’s been well documented that one of the significant causalities of COVID-19 was our plans for a new facility at the Royal Hall of Industries.
“We are working feverishly to get that back on board and satisfy our facility challenges – that is a primary concern for us and that’s one of the key planks for our entry in the AFLW.”
Harley said the AFL will ultimately determine when new teams are permitted entry into the competition.
...
In 2021, 326 female athletes will participate in the QBE Sydney Swans Academy. Of those, 224 will participate in the Youth Girls program (U12 to U15 age groups) and 92 in the new Top End program (U16 to U19 age groups).
Women’s team remains a priority
CEO Tom Harley said a Sydney Swans AFLW team remains a priority for the club, but it’s difficult to put a timeline on entry into the competition.www.sydneyswans.com.au
GWS will do really well out of the 2021 Draft. Apart from the Swannies girls they have a strong Academy group too. It will break my heart to see our girls playing for GWS.I guess end of the day it's just good to have more talented girls entering that comp, and when we do come in they may well be happy to be traded/move back to Sydney to join us. Also will be good to get GWS some talented players in so they can be more competitive before we enter.
She will probably go No.2 in the Draft after Prespakis. When we finally get a team we'll have to get James to have a word in her ear about how good life in Sydney is.Have seen this girl play, she is an absolute gun.

No Sydney side has always been the reason I have no interest in AFLW. Maybe in a few years I’ll sit down and finally watch an AFLW seasonPromising news for the girls:

me tooYeah I'm the same. There hasn't even been anyone of relation to the Swans to follow and root for. Kinda makes it hard to watch games when you're indifferent to all the players on the field (Except for Daisy Pearce, who is great.) I think that could change in the coming years with some father/daughter selections coming through, and by then we'll have our own team anyway.
Does anyone know who she's playing for?Jess Doyle, our Sydney Swans Academy U19s captain who willtomorrowtoday make history when she becomes the first female academy product to play in the VFLW.

You're right thanks. She had a chance to win the game but hit the post. Game ended in a draw.Williamstown, think I read.
