spirit of norm smith 16,680 Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Great news. Kate is a super choice. Very well deserved. 👋👋 I have met Libby and Tyla and can only speak highly of them both. Very impressive young ladies and more future leaders. They bring strength on field and very personable off field. We are lucky to have them.! Rhiannon must have been hugely impressive to be selected as a leader without playing a game yet. It speaks volumes for her ability to connect and add values off field. Looking forward to season 8 Go Dees !!! 7 Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Kate was fantastic in the latter part of last season and was instrumental in our premiership win. She’ll be a great captain. I had to research who Rhiannon watt was. Huge endorsement of her leadership to include her in the leadership group when she hasn’t played a game for us yet. Looking forward to seeing her debut. 5 Quote
Dees_In_October 3,515 Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Excellent news, well done to all, particularly Rhi Watt. That's so impressive and I love what it says about the team culture. As for Kate, what a rise from rookie to captain. A few years back the field was wide open for Daisy's replacement, but last year it became clear that she was the one. It's been a pleasure to watch her get to this point. 8 Quote

Looking forward to seeing her debut. I remember after Watt was de-listed from the Saints, there was considerable upset among their fans. Her former teammates were actively imploring other teams to take her on. Someone special for sure! 3 Quote
Meggs 598 Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Dying moments of last season’s Grand Final, Captain Kate intercepts Brisbane’s last foray and kicks to VC Tyla for a game saving mark. On field leadership. Great choices. 6 2 Quote

poita 3,945 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Congratulations to Kate & Tyla, some big shoes to fill, but I'm sure both will be excellent in these roles. Quote
Little Goffy 14,974 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 For the first time, I'm getting a feeling like the women's team might get on a roll this coming season and really hand out some thumpings. No idea why I didn't feel it before - it is the rational assessment of how awesome we are - but maybe it is just the realisation that our new captain is my favourite kind of high-impact high-entertainment player with loads of initiative. But only because AFL doesn't have goalies. I'll always be loyal to goalies! 1 Quote

BDA 23,048 Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 We could go unbeaten this season! Winning the flag is all that matters but we’ve been super consistent the past 2 seasons only losing the odd game to either the crows or lions. They’ve been weakened while we’ve consolidated. It would be a massive achievement but I won’t be surprised if we don’t drop a game. 2 Quote
Nascent 9,345 Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Bump. Having a stellar season and the captaincy suits her. Fun fact, she currently holds the all time AFLW goal kicking record with 67. Hopefully will be the first AFLW player to kick 100 goals. 5 1 Quote
