Ladies Lounge / AFLW 2022b - R1 vs Collingwood - Thursday night!
Well, we won the VFL.
We lost the AFL.
Its 1-1.
Lets see if we can win the AFLW to break the tie.

TBH, i'm not confident as Pies have a better list which is more settled.
We will probably spend a few weeks finding positions for a lot of our girls as we've been raped and pillaged by other clubs in the off-season.

IN:
McWilliams - Cats
Velardo - Pies

OUT:
Prespakis - Bombers
Gee - Bombers
Egan - Tigers
Stevens - Saints
Wilson - Dees
Jones - Gold Coast
Brazzalle - Pies

FWIW, every game this year, we had 5 or more of those players in our best 21. 3 games, we had 6!
We've basically lost over 1/4 of our talent in the 1 season....and its high end talent.

But....a victory against the pies will help us get over it....

Robert Heatley Stand / Who is our best 22?
OK, so a miracle has happened and all our players are fit for the first time in history.

Who do we pick to ensure we win the 2022 Grand Final?

I suggest you pick a team on paper first, or better yet, use this magnet board...

Then enter in your 22 players.

Some very hard calls will have to be made. I think we will get some very different results.

Ladies Lounge / Welcome Keeley Skepper + Mia Austin
KEELEY SKEPPER - Pick 17
Pos Midfielder
Ht 163cm, DOB 15/3/04
From Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country

The Saints had been very keen on Sofia Hurley until the Sandringham midfielder opted to make the move north. Skepper is a tenacious inside midfielder who was named Vic Country's MVP at the Under-18 Championships. Attacks the ball despite her light frame and is a strong all-round performer.


MIA AUSTIN - Pick 18
Pos Forward
Ht 178cm, DOB 22/4/04
From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro

The Blues have been heavily linked to key forward Austin, and have a need to fill that area. Has only played one year of NAB League but was a dominant presence in attack with her strong marking and athletic ability when the ball hit the deck.

Ladies Lounge / AFLW - Bombers poaching Velcro - Maddy P and Georgia G set to flee
https://www.womens.afl/news/93265?_ga=2.158483455.416584543.1649666926-306229409.1528790717

ESSENDON has pulled off a stunning double coup ahead of its maiden season in the AFLW, with the club set to sign important Carlton duo Maddy Prespakis and Georgia Gee.

Womens.afl can reveal the Bombers have lured both players in what is a significant filip for the incoming expansion side and a brutal blow for their arch rivals at Ikon Park.

Ladies Lounge / AFLW AA 2022 - Congrats Kez
Sole representative in the AA side, last picked on the bench.

Kez Harrington makes her 3rd AA side.

Moody was a bit stiff to not get the ruck position IMO, went to Lauren Pearce.
I think after 5 or 6 rounds, Moody made the team of the week 4 or 5 times.

Ladies Lounge / AFLW R10 Votes vs Melbourne.
Last game for the year, not quite the result we wanted, but plenty of girls deserve recognition.

Who is the best 3, 2, 1 this week?

Ladies Lounge / AFLW R10 - Carlton vs Melbourne
Last round and the match up we've been waiting to see. Tayla Harris vs Carlton.

The result is basically known. The ladder positions largely irrelevant. All eyes will be on Tayla.

So what do we do with her?
We'd know better than anyone how to play her...and I'm talking mentally more than  anything else.
I feel like she is one of those 'don't poke the bear' types. Make her angry and she'll play better.
Perhaps we go down the friendly path and make her feel like she is playing against her friends. She's said before she doesn't like hurting people, both in boxing and in footy.

I feel like she could be easily distracted as well. I forget who it was, but I think someone asked Richo (i think) a riddle during a game just to mess with him and he spent more time trying g to work out the riddle than focus on what he was supposed to be doing on the field.

The men's teams used to have dossiers on players with a list of do's and don'ts time to bring that back to Tayla.

Ladies Lounge / AFLW R9 - Carlton vs Gold Coast @Ikon - Sun 5:10pm
Sorry, thought I already had this up.

Game today against another team we should beat.

We've made our first change to the lineup in weeks, a forced change with Lucy mcevoy an out with a sore calf and Brooke Walker returning.

A point has been made about half wanting effort and commitment and walker being left out sent alarm bells her way.
Well she had 7 tackles last week in th3 vflw and has been recalled this week.

Finals are mathematically possible, but realistically no chance. Still, would be good to get 3 on the trot
