  • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Bannan Upgrades to #6
 

👏👏👏

Banno is very deserving of the #6 guernsey.

Great choice. A favourite among my favourites!

'Smile File' Ambassador, too!

Reading this reminds me we traded out Libby Birch, Maddi Gay and Eliza West. Not sure where and how the incomers covered for - or, better, improved upon - these. Thoughts?

And in a related matter, a bit of LOL...

It appears Libby B is freed from 2023's shackles of being both an Age columnist and a Melbourne player, where she always had to tip Melbourne: she is the only one of the 14 Age 'Experts' tipping Freo.

 

p.s. I hope this post doesn't come back to bite me...

No. 3 – Alyssia Pisano

New recruit Alyssia Pisano has taken the number 3 guernsey this season, following Maddi Gay moving to Essendon during the 2023 Trade Period.

Pisano was drafted to the club with pick number 5, coming to the Dees from the Eastern Ranges.

No. 9 – Georgia Gall

Previously wearing number 27, Gall will don the number 9 previously worn by Libby Birch, who moved to North Melbourne in the 2023 Trade Period.

Gall was picked in the 2022 AFLW draft as a cross coder from the Melbourne Stars BBL cricket team, and made her debut in Round 9 2023 against Fremantle.

No. 11 – Delany Madigan

Taken at pick number 55 in the 2023 draft, Madigan hails from the Eastern Ranges.

She will wear the number 11 guernsey formerly worn by Eliza West, who moved to Hawthorn in the 2023 Trade Period.

No. 12 – Ryleigh Wotherspoon

With Georgina Fowler retiring at the end of the 2023 season, Ryleigh Wotherspoon will take the number 12 guernsey.

Chosen at pick number 12 in the draft, Wotherspoon is an established cricket player and has recently returned to football, training with Brisbane AFLW to build her skills.

No. 16 – Grace Beasley

Taking the guernsey vacated by Alyssa Bannan, Grace Beasley will wear the number 16 in 2024.

Beasley was recently signed as a rookie, filling the final list spot. Beasley has been playing college basketball since 2018 and will return to her native Melbourne for the 2024 season. The 170cm guard first came to recruiters’ attention as a 17-year-old, and brings new skills and leadership experience to the group.

No. 19 – Grace Hill

Hill, who moved from GWS in the 2023 Trade Period, will retain the number 19 she wore in Giants colours.

The number 19 at Melbourne was worn in 2023 by Jordan Ivey, who was delisted at the end of the season.

No. 25 – Jacinta Hose

With Samantha Johnson returning to Casey VFLW at the completion of the 2023 season, she leaves the number 25 guernsey available to Jacinta Hose.

Hose was selected with pick number 24 in the draft, but will not play in 2024 as she recovers from dual ACL injuries.

No. 33 – Lily Johnson

Joining Melbourne from Port Adelaide, Johnson joined as part of the 11-club mega-trade that took place on the final day of the 2023 Trade Period. At Port Adelaide, Johnson wore the number 23.

No. 43 – Jemma Rigoni

Jemma Rigoni, whose father Guy Rigoni played 107 games for the Dees, will wear the number 43 made famous by her father between 1998-2005.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
