Good to see that Gold Coast have no idea how to put together a sporting team of any type, gender or description.

 

[RobZombie]

She's a goer but does she have the production or class of the top mids?

That's not rhetorical just haven't seen enough to judge.

Very small sample size - a debut game, an injury game, and a pre-season hitout, but yeah. Even though Collingwood weren't much chop in the extended match sim, she absolutely tore them up. Looks more confident at the level in her second season and hungry after missing most of 2019. Should slot into the ball magnet role vacated by Jamie Stanton, but IMHO will be more aggressive and dynamic.

I think Jenna is physically smaller and a bit more outside than a Hatchard or Phillips, or that girl from Freo, but she covers the ground well and gets a lot of the ball.

 

[The Other Dean]

One touch player. Has possibly the cleanest pair of hands in the AFLW in stoppage contested ball situations.

Inaugural (and thoroughly deserved) B&F winner.

Reads the game beautifully, too. Very clever player.

Staggered by the lack of love she seems to receive from all in Sunbury. She's an absolute gun.

Agree, I was referring to Riddell mate.

Hang on, I thought we were talking about Ash Riddell. That’s who I meant. Agreed on Bruton tho.

Had a suspicion you might have been, given the 'haven't seen a lot of her yet' call.

I blame Luke72.

It might've been my bad quoting. So long ago I can't remember.

Riddell is a joy in a Kayne Turner kinda way, lots of grunt and energy.

But Bruton is a class above (so far).

More Jed Anderson than Kanye I reckon.

Yeah it's all my fault! Anyway they are both great.

Round 1 Team

 

[The Nostradamus]

Can only assume bresnehan not 100% fit
Grierson had surgery recently

both would be in over wright and Nestor

 

[TheTassieHawk]

Is Saad playing ahead of Green who seemed to get a lot of pre-season wraps a surprise ?

 

[Sillygit]

That is pretty impressive for saad, straight into starting line up.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Is Saad playing ahead of Green who seemed to get a lot of pre-season wraps a surprise ?

Assuming Green is fit, it's initially a surprise to me. Thinking more about it, possibly just comes down to Lauren Pearce sitting out for Melbourne. Saad is listed as 3cm shorter than Green but quite a bit more mobile and thus a better match-up around the ground for both part-time rucks Cordner and Zanker.

Then again, if that's the theory, I would've just expected KGJ to carry the ruckload and then we'd play another small (such as Mia King).

 

[The Warlord]

Jas Garner playing midfield will tear this comp apart.

 

[DarwinRoo]

This was my crack at the team. 14 out of 16 in with some players in different positions

 

[King Corey]

Jas Garner playing midfield will tear this comp apart.

What is it with you and ****ing Garners?

 

[King Corey]

Beth Lynch has gone from spare parts to (looks to be) main player in a short time.

She's actually carrying herself more relaxed and confident from the young girl who arrived 12 months ago.

 

[The Warlord]

What is it with you and ****ing Garners?

They both play hard, skilful aggressive footy and are excellent overhead.

[Heaps of fun]

Anyone know where I can find basic stats of our players? Even games played seems hard to find.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Open training tonight for the girls at 6 p.m.

Try the official club website (canned laughter).

 

[CURVE]

Despite not liking Jenna Bruton, Ms Black does like North Melbourne.

Here are her predictions for season 2020.
