Women's Footy Lions AFLW 2024 (Season 9) Discussion

[LongLion]

We won so many tight games last year, we could play nearly as well but not do nearly as well this year.

Close games though are very much a part of the generally low scoring AFLW games so hopefully we continue that as a strength.

 

[Perrip]

Unchanged captain, vice-captain, and leadership group for the Lions this season. Koenen (C), Grider (VC), Anderson, Conway, Dawes, C. Svarc

A quote from the trailer, "Thank God for Shannon Campbell." That is as appropriate a motto as any for this team over the journey.

Conway has reportedly resigned until 2027. Knocking back interest from Sydney, GWS, and Carlton.

I noted with interest how they were all talking about Bodey moving on from the team, how Dakota and Greta cried etc. Not a word about Emily Bates.

I think her break up with the assistant coach, who seems to be still very close to some players, wasn't that amicable.

Finally got a chance to watch the first two eps - I think this was more about Dakota being the main interviewee on the departure, because she was close to Greta, and Wardlaw was also up there with her, but Bates would've been a different group up in the midfield.

Within the context of the game against the Hawks, there was then more coverage about how they went with Emily and while they played up the inevitable rivalry with the new team I didn't get a sense of much antipathy beyond that.

 

[Section 5]

6 home games and 5 away games.
A Friday 5pm game v Pies being a difficult time to drive to Ipswich.
Times are local times so i changed two to Brisbane times being 5.05pm Eagles & 12.05pm Cats
The last game v Saints the time TBC

Could this be the next step for JL?

 

[Perrip]

Could this be the next step for JL?

Huh, interesting. It's well known that the AFLW team has support/coaching from some of the AFL/VFL players. Someone was saying earlier, in the List Management thread maybe?, that JL had mentioned doing assistant coaching stuff.

 

[Perrip]

Match Sim against GC tomorrow. Don't think it's being streamed aside from social media clips/highlights. Standard 4 x 20 minutes match.

No lineup for the Lions AFLW team yet.

Thanks. I'll be next door at the indoor sports centre so will hopefully have time to duck across.
