Darcy’s interview gives a good insight into the team’s mindset; they’re relaxed, confident and determined. Bucky has done a great job in preparing the team; physically and mentally.
Go Blues!

Putting your best 21 out there every week of finals certainly doesn't hurt your chances.

The Giants are also expected to dig their heels in with the Blues over an interest in McCormick, who is another to have flagged a desire to land at Ikon Park just weeks after being named in the AFLW's extended All-Australian squad.
McCormick, who is contracted for 2026, has emerged as one of the League's best defensive options this season and averaged 16.6 disposals and 2.9 marks across the campaign.
Carlton is widely viewed as one of the AFLW's most attractive destinations ahead of next month's Trade Period, with the young Blues blowing away West Coast and Hawthorn in convincing finals wins across the last fortnight.
Kudos to Bucky. It was rats jumping off only a few years ago. Now its come full circle and everyone wants to come on board.
I'd be looking to get in a replacement tall forward for Bohanna who is one of the oldest on our list. Yes, Poppy Scholz has a big future there, as does McKay, but i think they work so well with Bohanna taking a key defender.
