    Karen Paxman is a superstar. 
     

    Also enjoyed how much her mullet upset the sooks of the 7AFL Facebook page.

    Eden Zanker very stiff. 

    Slowish start to the season. She's lit it up since going into the midfield

    Agree she has changed our season results from the centre!

    Goldrick would have been a cert if she hadn't missed games through injury

    Paxman is a dead set legend. Full stop.

    This comp has been going for 5 years and this is here 5th AA selection. Remarkable consistency.

    She should be on our banner @Demonland

    Absolutely pumped for Tyla Hanks for her first nod in what has been a sensational season. 

    Well deserved.

    Agree with Paxman. I think the best player in the comp. Tayla Hanks is only a couple of years behind her. As much as I like Goldrick I doubt she would have been a cert.

    It will be a tough midfield to break into. Are there any better rucks than Lauren Pearce going around - she seems the most likely to earn a spot. One of Hanks or Paxman might slide on to a flank or the bench, but I'm not sure there will be room for both.

    Not sure how she qualifies, but based on the nominees, Tyla Hanks must be favourite to win the rising star award this year. Nobody on that list has come close to her impact.

    I suspect Ellie McKenzie will be high up in the selectors minds.  The number of times I heard the media refer to ‘number one draft pick...’.    

    But I love Tyla, she is so clean, so clever. Can’t you just tell that she is loving her footy, a clear RS favourite for mine!

    Is Lauren Pearce related to Daisy Pearce?

    The only other ruck who's any competition is Moody for Carlton. But I'd think L.Pearce has her covered.

    The rules are a little different for AFLW Rising Star - no games limit, under 21 not 20 on Jan 1 of the season. So it's a bit of a quirk that Tyla wasn't nominated in previous years and just turned 21 this past February. There's precedence though for an 'older' player with Huntington winning age 21 in 2020. So if they're going by impact and consistency, Tyla can't be ignored. Having said that, wouldn't be surprised if they give it to McKenzie for PR reasons.

    So, Paxy is now a 5 time All Australian. Absolute superstar.

    But clearly you need to play for Carlton, Collingwood or Richmond to get a look in. Lauren Pearce absolutely robbed. Lions only had one player too.

    Congrats also to Tayla Hanks on her rising star win.

    Agree L.Pearce hugely stiff and Hanks unlucky too.  Was a very strange side.  Collingwood have a key defender Livingstone who was incredible this year and didnt make it, which is a travesty as well.

    It was a very stange side. How the hell did Katie Brennan end up as chf. Lauren Pearce was robbed of a ruck position with the carlscum player getting it. Why ??? She is no where near as good as Pearce. Would have thaught Kate Hore would have got a spot in the forward line as well. Maybe I am just too biased.

    As someone on Twitter said, it was a side built on reputation rather than actual output. The leading goal kicked didn't even start on the bloody ground!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
