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

[Ceebee]

Looking forward to the girls , they are fun to watch

 

[Mr Ripper]

BoM predicting 34 for next Saturday. Think everyone (with the possible exception of Starce) would appreciate a cool change for Sunday.

 

[spooner21]

Haven't done the maths, but as far as I know we have one spot available still. Some of the QAFLW teams are about the start finals, so they may be waiting that out.

I don’t think they’ve had any long term injuries announced, so don’t think there’s any list spots that have opened up?

Yep, we've got 30 players on our 2024 list - maximum list size for AFLW without any long-term injuries.

E: It could be similar to how clubs trial potential AFL draftees? Do a preseason with the club, or VFL game, and if they're impressed with you then they'll draft you at the next draft.

AFLW Squad: Lions Locked And Loaded For Week One

Same as GF without Pauga and Monahan. New inclusions are Lutkins, Davison [trade], Hartnil [trade]l, Peters [draft], and Crozier [draft].

 

[AFLQLD]

Peters and Crozier on debut is a sign that they have the talent and the attitude to succeed.

Crozier strikes me as one of those players that looks better on a football field than on paper. She seems to have an odd knack of doing better in situations than the circumstances would suggest.

Peters will hopefully start thriving in her role once she really finds the speed of the game. A lot of instinctive talent there I think.

This is just the squad for Sunday, if Peters or Crozier are debuting we should get an announcement from the club tomorrow.

Who are they keeping out?

Who are they keeping out?

It's a really difficult team to break into but at the same time they need to get as many games as possible into emerging players with real talent (see Dunne last year).

Based on the practice game I'd almost say Sophie Peters has to play, and I think they would be looking at any excuse to play Crozier too. Rania may get squeezed out of the first game but I'm sure she will get on the field early in the season.

Think players like Poppy Boltz and Ellie Hampson might find themselves under pressure.

Much more even than I expected. It'll be interesting to see if that changes when the teams are finalised.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Thought I might try the AFLW Fantasy comp - anyone got a league set up?

 

[Perrip]

Off-season recruit, Shanae Davison will make her Brisbane Lions debut against North Melbourne on Sunday afternoon.

[BuntonRules]

No wonder it is a different game to the AFL. According to @Jivlian the women are 17.4 mm shorter, on average, than the men -170.2 to 187.4,

 

[weevil]

I think Hartill is extremely stiff to miss out, thought she was one of our best in the practice game. We have a lot of experienced medium talls, but I think she offers a real point of difference. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out over the season.

Centimetres?

[Perrip]

Evie Long [broken nose] and Jade Pregelj [ACL] are off the injury list.

Heslop [3 weeks] and Davison [6 weeks].

 

[dlanod]

I misread that as "Davidson" and just about crapped myself.
