Fox Footy predictions for each team this season, they don't think much about the team we have built for his season.

Bold expert verdict and predicted ladder range for EVERY AFLW club ahead of first 18-team season

NORTH MELBOURNE

Best finish:
Semi final (2020)

Worst finish: 6th (2021)

Key list changes: A bit of change here, losing Kaitlyn Ashmore (Hawthorn), Daria Bannister (Essendon), Daisy Bateman (Western Bulldogs), Jess Duffin (Hawthorn) and Aileen Gilroy (Hawthorn). Subsequently, they've gone to the draft and VFLW for replacements.

Chyloe Kurdas’ expert verdict: “One of the criticisms about the Roos is that they’re very one-paced. That transition from mid to forward, there’s not a lot of diversity or change of pace in that. They did have Kaitlyn Ashmore and now she’s gone, while Daisy Bateman was a really good marking small forward who knew how to find the footy and she’s gone. They’ve lost two important forwards for them, but just the diversity up front I think they’ve struggled with and that change of pace through the middle to form a transition. They’re a solid defensive unit, but I just don’t know where the spark is going to come from that’s going to net them the goals that they need. I think there’ll be a top eight contender, absolutely, maybe top six. I think they’ll struggle to make top four with the other talent that’s there.”

Foxfooty.com.au predicted ladder range: 7th-10th
Hard to argue - we’ve lost some proven performers and the incoming players aren’t known quantities, even though we are optimistic. Looking forward to seeing how we go.

btw does anyone know, if our game this weekend is listed as Foxtel only, will it be on Kayo too?

I felt that the two outgoing players that the article highlighted - Ashmore and Bateman - both had seasons below par for different reasons and I fully expect that we will cover their output with the new players. I think we will miss Bannister and Gilroy more than these two, but again, once Vikki Wall and Erika O'Shea figure out the oval ball, we will have a substantial upgrade at both ends of the ground.

... and I'm hoping for good development from Tess Craven ...

Bateman is not a loss, and Ashmore was inconsistent. Bannister, however, is a really good player, and has more development in her as well.
 
Can see $35 option but it's halfway up the top level.
Yep sorry you're right. I was going off what somebody posted a page or 2 back. Still too much to be sitting up in the nosebleeds.

At Marvel when they've played VFL games before the seniors they've opened up the bottom level for the starter and then had everyone sit in their real seats for the AFL game.
Maybe they'll do the same for the AFLW game.

Being managed along with O’Loughlin. Not sure what the story is… two weeks I guess 😬
Hardiman (knee) & Mailer (bone stress- leg).

"Managed" - interesting for round 1.
Thanks legends- bit of a worry. Hope all is well 🤷‍♂️

Can someone explain why there are 2 places not filled in yet we have 2 extra players listed on the ic bench. Other clubs do this also..it's not as if they line up in these positions anyway but it would at least look right..

AFLW is 16 a side with 5 on the interchange bench.

I'd like to know what is happening with Perri King, I haven't read anything about her and a replacement player in Bowey made it on the emergenies list.

AFLW is 16 on field with 5 on the bench. One back pocket and forward pocket dropped compared to AFLM.
