Game day thread up
Dogs were the best team of the year without a doubt... however I hoped the Lions got up as underdogs as I feel we might be losing a few guns next year.
Congrats to our all Australians: Kate Lutkins, Sabrina Frederick-Traub, Jess Wuetschner and Emily Bates. (2nd time for Bates and SFT).
Anderson robbed (should have been in ahead of Bates, tbh)
She didn't even make the QWAFL team of the year last year playing just as well. It seems she's invisible
Doubly cruel given her mate Tayla made the side after a far less impressive season (different positions, obviously, but still).
I thought Ali should have been in ahead of Daisy Pearce as well, who they made vice captain. Too much goes on reputation rather than form. At least Woosha and Lutkins made it for the first time... and there were only 9 repeats... ie 12 new players.
Such is life as a lion.

First round of expansion club signings to be announced this week I believe.
Ashmore to North if the word is correct. :/ Not sure on others.

Watch the interstate players all leave - despite being in a winning team with a widely appreciated good culture.
We'll just forget about that AFL House style and say that Vic teams doing well is good for the game.

Anyone dare to comment on what the standard is going to be like? Dare I say the talent was already spread thin.

It will dip. Too much too fast is going to hamstring it all.
Agree, while there is a sprinkling of good talent/skills among the current players the overall standard is ordinary IMO although you wouldn't expect it to be ultra high at this stage, the AFLW is still in the very early stages of development, skills and depth of talent will improve steadily over the ensuing years. I think it improved from year 1 to year 2.
They have added new teams too early IMO, talent dilution is inevitable.
Ashmore is a Victorian, originally from Ballarat and played for Melbourne Uni (who have ties with North) for years in the VWFL/VFLW.
Also hearing that Nicole Hildebrand will also head back to Victoria.
There's also a star born and raised Queenslander that could be heading South. I'm not in a position to mention the name yet (was given to me in confidence) but I believe the possible move is due to personal reasons rather than a poaching by any specific club.
Ah ok that makes a bit of sense - North have done well if this is true when you add Kearney to the mix
Would be a shame after Tayla already left..
Have the Lions been in Aasta O'Connor's ear about going home?

How do things work in the AFLW regarding trades? Can a player just up and move with no compensation? Is there a draft of some kind?

Talent is spread wafer thin, but the next gen coming through are more skilled.
