I'm trying to familiarise myself with the women before the games start so I've read all the coaches reviews as well as looking at their player profiles and draft position and put together a team for the first game. It's probably way off but at least I now have an understanding of the players and even if it's only 50% right I'm more familiar with the names. 

FB:####   Clifford Downie
HB: K. Smith  Hickey  De Bertoli
C: Humphries  D. Pearce Randall
HF: Mifsud  O'Dea  Berry
FF: ##### Crantson  Anderson
Foll:  L. Pearce   Paxman  Mithen
Int: Patterson  Boyd  Lampard Kemp Scott Phillips

E: Grierson  Jolly Duryea  Newman  Cordner

To be honest, I've not taken a whole lot of interest in the Womens comp. I have however posted in the Club thread that young Shelley Scott will be one to watch. Being Colac born and raised, I have direct intel that young Shelley is a loose unit and will be our Jack Viney in the Women's league.

I hope the player pool hasn't been too diluted and the women's comp is a winner from the get-go. Failing this, I think  we might be looking a few years ahead to see the fruits of the efforts put into the Women's league.

I'm happy to be patient and watch the league evolve. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. Although sadly I think a lot of people will measure the standard against the men's league and dismiss it prematurely. Which is ridiculous, not because the women have any less talent or potential, but because the men's league has had 100+ years of development, and a wider talent pool due to societal expectations around sport... Just wait til the 5 year old girls of today reach the big time. Anyway, getting excited now and can't wait to cheer the Dees on!

Lineup for the practice match maybe?
