Looks like a far more equitable draw than last year from a playing perspective. 3 interstate teams out at Casey Fields is probably not ideal from a $ perspective, but the early afternoon time slot is preferable to later slots. I don't think the club could have too many complaints.

Pretty soft draw for a change so expect a big year.

thats a great draw. no north or crows. we should absolutely be making a prelim

last 2 rounds probably our toughest games v Lions and Cats. those games will be a big factor in where we finish on the ladder

6 wins minimum. Should make the finals in November

Finally 12 games in the season!

Something approaching a professional league

Looking forward to it!

Soft draw. Only disappointment is the girls won’t have a chance to get at Libby Birch again in the H&A season. I guess we will have to wait for finals!

Great draw! We miss North, Adelaide and Hawthorn. Only 3 interstate - Freo, Port and Brisbane. 5 home games at Casey, 1 at Ikon against Essendon. Whitten Oval, Vic Park and GMHBA the local away games....

Bring it on!

Good draw, appropriate for our ladder position for last season. Gets tougher at the end but if we're there abouts we'll hopefully have built by then.

I just wish they could announce the fixture a little earlier, or failing that, at least give notice of when it will be announced. It's always a guessing game, and as a result, there's games I could have planned around but too late now. Somehow it was announced a week later than last year despite the season starting two weeks earlier.

I will say, I like how away games in Vic are included in a standard W membership, it's good value especially considering the hike to Casey is often further than the home grounds of other teams.

Anyone going to attempt the double on the 16th of August? Men's Round 23 v Hawthorn MCG at 4.15pm and women's Round 1 v Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval at 7.35pm.

@Ghostwriter I know its different people for M and W, but does the cheersquad have enough floggers etc. to split between two games? For some reason I'm picturing a single sad person as our cheersquad at Whitten. I'm sure that won't be the case. Hopefully the right big heads end up at the right games haha.

Yep, we were talking about that today. It will be tight but we’ll do it. Some will leave the M match early because we need a banner crew and guard of honour at Whitten Oval. Thank goodness it’s at Whitten Oval and not Casey.

Even when we have to split in two we always have enough people and props for both. When Casey won the premiership in 2022 half of us were at Ikon and half were at Casey for the W match on that same day.

Nothing we didn't already know. But good to see it backed up.

From a broader perspective, the analysis shows the greater degree of variation in AFLW fixture strength compared with the men's and the best measure to remedy that (more games).
