A couple of changes this week, that don't really help us much.

B:   21 Harriet Cordner   14 Siofra O'Connell
HB:   8 Lily Baxter   36 Ciara Fitzgerald   7 Poppy Scholz
C:   11 Yasmin Duursma   4 Claudia Whitfort   17 Dayna Finn
HF:   19 Erone Fitzpatrick   55 Sophie McKay   25 Keeley Sherar
F:   35 Nell Morris-Dalton   23 Lila Keck
R:   2 Lauren Bella   10 Mimi Hill   5 Abbie McKay
Int:   1 Amelia Velardo   6 Gabriella Pound   26 Tayla McMillan   20 Lily Goss   3 Darcy Vescio
Em:   24 Brooke Vickers   13 Aisling Reidy   30 Kiara Bischa

We'll miss both Hendrie and Good, especially Good who is among the best rucks going around.
That Tara Bohanna couldn't get a game is worrying when we need a key forward.
Nice to see gab Pound back.
We don't look as balanced with 2 talls out.
Hopefully, we can still put it together, but we look vulnerable.

Not sure if we've given up on Poppy Scholz, but named in the backline.....as cover for Hendrie, sure, but thats when you bring in Bohanna. If we can't pick Tara for this game, have we seen the last of her in Navy Blue?

Two games against GWS after the bye  ::)

Hopefully they have put the cue in the rack by then, and its a couple of easy/easier wins as a result?

There is that, but you'd think that the AFL could organise the fixture so that games against teams you play twice are before and after the bye.

The early analysis suggests that we've got the tenth hardest draw and that's fair enough given our final ladder position.  However, Sydney, Melbourne and Collingwood all have nominally easier draws, and Sydney gets the most prime time slots.

Quick breakdown....

24 Rounds.
23 games
1 bye

17 teams including 6 double ups.

Teams we play twice....
North Melbourne - R2 + R16
Melbourne - R4 + R18
Collingwood - R5 + R21
Port Adelaide - R6 + R23
Geelong - R8 + R19
Giants - R17 + R24

Only 16 rounds (15 games) have days/times allocated so far.

From that 15 we have....
2 - Thursday night games
1 - Friday day game - (good friday vs North)
2 - Friday night games
2 - Saturday day games
2 - Saturday night games
6 - Sunday games....
     2x - 3:15
     1x - 5:40
     2x - 6:10
     1x - 7:45 - (kings birthday eve vs bombers)
    

We travel interstate 6 times....
R4 - vs Melbourne (Adelaide - gather round)
R6 - vs Port
R10 - vs Gold Coast (Darwin)
R12 - vs West Coast
R17 - vs Giants
R22 - vs Sydney

We also travel down to GMHBA (R19) for the first time since Covid in 2020.

Worst Scheduling quirk...
R4 - We are in Adelaide playing the demons on the Saturday for gather round.
R5 - We fly back to melbourne and play Pies after a 5 day break
R6 - We fly back to Adelaide to play Port on the Sunday, a 9-day break.

Surely they could've done that better??
