Schleicher is a decent out for them. Two time all Australian defender, Collingwood VC and first choice to play on Tayla Harris. Will also be interesting to see if they play Bri Davey after being close to not playing with hamstring issues. 
If we kick straight we will win this. 
 

PS I am really looking forward to the game. There seems to be something more authentic about women’s footy.

Ms Binners jnr loved it.  I went with a mate who has a young son who is dead keen on footy, but i think i'm right in saying that was the first AFLW game they had both seen. Both loved it. An

That's a strong side. Interested to see Campbell the only girl I don't know much about.

I think I was at a training last season when she was running around within the team.

If she is the same one I watched, I noticed she was a very good kick, and she is a reasonable size.

Both good attributes for us, as a key position player.

Worried that we're still vulnerable to not kicking big enough scores against good teams. Hopefully Campbell takes the second ruck heat off Harris to give us a permanent marking target inside 50.

I'm open to winning more Grand Finals 19-15 but it's a high risk strategy.

I saw Campbell is our first father daughter selection.

Do you know who the father is?

It’s like how footy used to be.

 I’m here now and although the game is over four hours away there’s an awesome vibe already. I just walked across the ground and the surface is perfect. 🥳

Very excited for this one, will have to watch from home though as my kids have an indoor cricket final. Oh, the glamour...

...I'm sure it's been raised elsewhere, but (as much as I love AFLW) could the fixture have been moved so it didn't conflict with the AFLM season?  I "feel" that starting now is taking the attention away from the league that it deserves.

Also, can something be done about Princes Park?  The ground is fine but the stands are appalling, the ancillary services worse and the toilets are terrifying.  Not really family friendly! Crazy as it sounds, I much prefer Victoria Park.

Great to have AFLW back, and a fantastic fixture to open the season with.

We have selected a very strong side, so there will be no excuses if we don't win. Hopefully the desire to go back to back is very strong.

Campbell is an interesting selection. Clearly we will try to nurse Pearce through the regular season, but we do look pretty tall with her in the team.

Hopefully we haven't sacrificed too much run, as this tends to be more important than size in AFLW.

I love Princes Park! The old stands have tonnes of character. I have so many great memories of this ground, from 20 years masquerading as a Carlton supporter ‘til more recently at the W games and training sessions and of course… the Casey Grand Final. ❤️💙🏆

Will be watching tonight.

Why are we unfurling the flag tonight at Carlton's home ground & not at Casey at our home game?

Where and when the unfurling takes place was the Club’s choice. Casey Fields was where they’d love to do it but they chose Ikon because the crowd will be bigger and the girls love playing here.

edit: of course they love playing at Casey more, but Ikon makes more sense.

I think there’ll be quite a big crowd tonight. There’s already heaps of people here. Anyone who’s yet to arrive, come through Gate 6. The other Gates are closed or open, depending on who you ask. Gate 6 is definitely open. 👍🏽

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?
