AFLW AFLW/VFLW 2024 - General Discussion

[Foxman98]

There's not 10 fit players unselected running around, there's a big injury ilst and limited list size

We only have 2 players who are listed as unavailable for selection leaves 9 left to make more then the solitary change we did

Surprised Zimmorlei Farquarson hasn't been given a go. I thought she looked good in the practice match I saw.

 

[Oliver G]

I would just want to see some kind of response this evening, show us that we are at least building towards something and not just lying down and accepting our fate for the year.

Here's how we stack up against Port Adelaide...

Kirsty Lamb with the first goal. Should have been touched, but the player had a fresh airy.

 

[fargy]

About 15 missed tackles leads to Ports second goal.

 

[fargy]

Finished the first quarter reasonably well, without kicking a goal. QT Dogs 0.2.2 Port 2.1.13

 

[weltschmerz]

This season is gonna be like what Richmond AFLM's 2025 would be like if Sid Draper, Finn O'Sullivan, Jagga Smith, Josh Smilie, and Levi Ashcroft were all prelisted by GWS and Gold Coast.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Like the look of Elaine Grigg

 

[out of finals]

Frustrating to concede that - had so much territory but just couldn't get a shot

 

[fargy]

Had the better for the first half of the quarter except for the scoreboard. The effort is good. A few easy dropped marks around goal and around the ground meant we didn’t make any headway, in fact lost ground. A bit concerning again that the end of the quarter we seemed to fade.
HT Dogs 0.2.2 Port 4.1.25

 

[Bulldogs85]

So who are we taking with the number 1 draft pick this year

Can you trade draft picks in AFLW? Might be worth trying to start trading for some experience.

Yes you can trade picks for experience players

Ash Centra

 

[potdog21]

We let a lot of our experience go. We are building from bottom up after drafting a lot of similar sized players.

 

[W W Biscuit]

Besides Ellie, Alice Edmonds is quickly becoming my favorite Doggies player. She has become such a good player.

 

[fargy]

Have to love Ellie. Tough as nails.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I'm a Carlton men's supporter but a Bulldog women's member, can I hang with you guys?

Can’t see why not

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Can’t see why not

Thank you
If other people disagree then I'll slink out the door quietly.

Imagine being as tough as Ellie Blackburn, I could never.

She is tough as nails

 

[Bulldogs85]

Ellie Blackburn should still be the captain of this side

 

[fargy]

As strange as it seems given the scoreboard, this has been a better performance than last week. The effort is definitely there this week.
Going to be some three digit losses you’d imagine at points this year.

 

[lachy]

Ellie Blackburn should still be the captain of this side

TBH I can see why she needs a break.

[W W Biscuit]

Desperately need more experience out there. I know that we need to get experience into our draftees, but we are absolutely carrying most of our youngsters. Unless there is a generational prospect at the top of the draft at season's end, I would be trading picks for good, established players.
