Yes big wraps on the squad for 2022. Let’s hopefully get the premiership cup for Daisy.  She’s an absolute legend of AFLW and the sport. So talented. Brave.  Inspirational. 

Tayla Harris of course will be a big plus for the team. 

Karen Paxman is a definite A grade star. 

Also keen to see Libby Birch now as our number 1 defender.  She is a great athlete and improved so much in the past two seasons.  
 

Eden Zanker is another to watch out for.  She was really shining before the ‘21 season ended.

The pundits agree with you SONS.  AFL/The Age/HS all have Brisbane, Collingwood and Melbourne as potential flag favourites.

Our midfield is very strong.  L Pearce is the best ruck in the Comp, Zanker is a huge presence in the middle, while Hanks, Paxy, Lily M, Maddi G, rookie West and the recovering Liv P form a super on-ball group.  Our wings have two impressive young guns in E McNamara and C Sheriff.   Not sure who will back up ruck, Zanker/Parry?

Tayla Harris will absolutely bolster our forward group and Hore, Scott, Parry, D Pearce, Bannon et al will all greatly benefit. Fingers crossed we kick straight this season.

Our backline has been wobbly over the years.  Love to see excitement machine, Goldie, play out the season!  Meggs hopes Tarrant plays back (not forward).  Her marking, neat kicking and reading of play continues to improve.  No doubt Birch, Colvin and Lampy will take the key defensive posts and fan favourite S Heath, the lockdown small defensive role.  Opportunities for Irish import Magee and others to help down back too.  

There are a number new young talls and smalls who will all be striving to be named in the team so selection will be very competitive.

The Bulldogs were very physical last time we met but Meggs is confident coach Mick will prepare the girls this time.  It bodes well for an exciting 2022 for our AFLW Dees.  Go girls!

Anything then to be taken from the running over the top of them in the praccy match?

The squad sure seems to have a balance and dynamic reflective of the mens'.

I've reflected on MFCSS coming for the women's team on another thread. This thread is for POSITIVE!

I'm with you on Tarrant. Underrated player who took some big steps last season. Maybe in the future we'll see her up forward, as her VFLW form suggests she can be very damaging there, but for now the greater need is that sometimes shaky backline!

My MFCSS is probably more AFLWSS in the sense that things can go very wrong structurally in the season, as we've been victims of in the past! Let's just say I'm thinking a lot more about our depth players and wondering what random train-ons we have than I was a month ago.

As for the praccy match, hard to say. Our team played the unpredictable Casey conditions better and overall I'd say they looked sharper. But it's all meaningless when the real stuff starts.

I desperately want us to take out the quinella, and I think we have the AFLW squad to do it!

Typo, because I’ve had too much red wine.

Eden Zanker is a star. Fantastic in round 1.  Watch out AFLW.

Imagine how good Zanker could be if she was able to train in a full time AFL style program. That’s the future.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
