AFLW 2022 - R2 vs Brisbane @Maroochydore NO LONGER - Now vs Geelong @GMHBA January 09, 2022, 08:43:07 pm Reigning premiers got embarrassed against arch rival Adelaide in R1 and will be looking to make amends.We will want to bounce back after a disappointing R1 as well. Have we got the class to do it? Are playing what could be the best 2 teams in the league in the first 2 rounds a blessing in disguise to force us to lift our game?Not sure of the ins/outs yet, but i'd be bringing in Poppy Schaap if fit. She is a player that everyone will love. Energiser bunny in a small package with a heart as big as pharlaps.Hopefully Egan gets up.Not sure what is up with McEvoyPrespakis limped off at the final siren which is a worry we don't need either.Do we get anyone back?Wilson? Hill?? Last Edit: January 13, 2022, 05:14:13 pm by kruddler

Hill?? Hard to find the injury list for the women at the moment. It would be very useful to have Hill and/or Wilson available. That would improve our defence significantly.I'd be tempted to bring in Poppy Schaap: we need more goals and she is a goal kicker who can make something out of nothing.
Re: AFLW 2022 - R2 vs Brisbane @Maroochydore Reply #2 – January 10, 2022, 01:33:21 pm I wonder if those under-done were excluded simply because of the weather the AFLW is played in, even some of the fittest from both sides were struggling by the final siren.You wouldn't want to be out there under-done!Personally, I think it's a scheduling error to play any of these games before 6pm anywhere except perhaps Tassie!AFLW is not a summer sport!I also worry about the ground conditions, and the effects of ground conditions and muscle fatigue on injuries like those ACLs. The girls are already more susceptible to such injuries, and we are playing the season in potential conditions which make things worse! Last Edit: January 10, 2022, 01:37:01 pm by LP

Re: AFLW 2022 - R2 vs Brisbane @Maroochydore NO LONGER - Now vs Geelong @GMHBA Reply #10 – January 14, 2022, 05:54:17 pm Something not sitting right about all of this.30 players on the list.21 players named in the team2 players named as emergencies2 confirmed injuries - Egan + Hill---25 players.5 players not on any list1. Wilson2. Schaap3. Milford4. Vernon5. VickersTop 2 on that list, should be in the side IMO. The fact they are not, and have not been mentioned anywhere makes me think they may have covid (potentially others too). I know there is plenty of it going around and its knocked out Lions and Dogs who can't field a fit 21 players, so who knows.
