Well at least that guy knew they were there. Maybe he should be on the AA selection panel?
Summarizes the AFL's post expansion attitude towards the AFLW, "...not worth the investment".What a crock of s**t. Thank goodness she's standing down at the end of the season....

I understand Nina Morrisson not making AA. Anyone with that much skill would show up the rest too much so AFL quietly ignore her so they can keep an even standard.

I've never seen either Hosking sister take a backwards step, and they always seem up for the fight of the game
Could be interesting to see if Jess would be willing to play a bit of VFLW to see how'd she fit in, but thinking we'd need to sign AFLW listed players long before getting that opportunity. But depending on how other trade options to, we could do worse that sign Jess
Being a Brisbane local, I have nothing against these teams. Hell, would've much preferred Lions over Pies.
But after the prelim... I just hope they get a taste of what our girls got last week.
I'm torn. On one hand my gut instinct is to support North, but then again, I do feel a certain rivalry with North given they entered the comp at the same time. So I admit to the possibility of future jealousy if they win one before we do.
Turned on the tv late in the third quarter. North started running over Bris. Mind you North were the beneficiaries of a holding free near their goal that Geelong would never be paid.

That's how I was looking at it too - also, I like seeing the game's development in Queensland and nothing supercharges that more than success.
So I found myself supporting the Lions pretty intently today.
But it just goes to show how close we are to the top; we more than matched it with Brisbane last week and we were very, very unlucky bordering on robbed.
Great game today; I got stuck into the umps last week as they were utterly useless, I thought the Grand Final was actually umpired really well though, happily.
Well done Lions.

Found this an interesting article.
Is it really surprising North has had a better win/loss record than us considering they picked up a dozen of the best players in the league at the time of their inclusion, whereas we hit the draft hard initially, and have only really started picking up experienced players in the last 3-4 seasons to complement the players we already had? Found it interesting that North were after Chloe Scheer as well before she decided to sign with the Crows, and ultimately heading our way.
I'll say our best years are still ahead of us though, with the likes of Bowen, A.McDonald, D.Moloney, Parry, Morrison, Rankin, Scheer, Friswell, Webster, Kearns, Gunjaca, Prespakis, and A.Moloney all of which are currently aged 27 or under and were regular starters this year, with Featherston, Fuller, Plummer and Abbey McDonald all waiting in the wings.
