Not the news I wanted to hear:

The Collingwood Football Club has today received a list assistance package following approval from the AFL Commission.

The assistance package includes:

Two additional list spots for the 2026 AFLW season and one additional list spot for the 2027 AFLW season, to be funded by the Club.
Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly welcomed the assistance and thanked the AFL Commission for its consideration of the Club’s submission.

“As a Club, we have worked closely with the AFL to develop an assistance package to progress our AFLW program and we appreciate the AFL’s engagement and support throughout this process,” Kelly said.

“Across our organisation, we have – and will continue to – invest significantly in our AFLW football program. With full-time coaches, high-performance and development staff in place, we remain absolutely committed to driving a winning culture and fostering growth and development to get better.”

A foundation club that ran its AFLW program into the ground through inept management gets a leg up  ::)

Gold Coast and GWS got assistance packages too but I think that's more acceptable.

f*** off.

Where was our assistance when they poached Bri Davey?
Or when we lost Prespakis and Gee
.....and Hoskings x2
.....and Egan, Walker, Stevens, Jones.....i could go on for a while.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Pick our team in parts - Part 2 - Starting 6 backmen (pick 6)

Ive gone with Mcgovern, but its a coin toss for team balance between him, Wilson, O.Hollands, Lewis Young and Ollie Florent as my last spot.  Rest of the spots to the usual suspects:

Weiters, Haynes, Newman, Cowan, Dean.

For team balance, you might play Lewis Young as an alternative if we are skimping on rucks elsewhere.

Seems one person didn't pick a ruck, or is throwing someone like Cripps in the deep end.  :-[
