While it's true Brisbane should have faced a tougher draw, they were scheduled to face every finalist from last season except Essendon. They were also scheduled to play St Kilda, Collingwood and Carlton who finished just outside the 8.
Hawthorn, Fremantle and Port finished 13th through 15th last season. I can't imagine scheduling games against them would have been popular.
That's just what happens with fixturing when four of last year's top 8 don't make finals
Mostly predictable
, my Hawks and Port definite’s for the 8 predictions were in hindsight I think quite good & probably reaches given the 2023 results & most probably had them improving but still just out of the 8.Re:Brisbane’s fixture agree it appears a little soft for a reigning premiers, flying to Perth in the compressed part of the fixture probably seems tough on paper but West Coast had reverted again to a training drill team by that stage. The AFL would argue the 3 trips to Melbourne that were put in the last 4 weeks of the season as being difficult even if 2 of them were against non-finalists from last year, Brisbane fans would probably counter argue though that they played 2 of the 2023 finalist away from home just like the Crows did.

Yeah, fair call. Just funny how that never seems to work in our favour.
Realistically, there is such a large divide between the top 4 and the rest of the comp, that the only relevant question is how many other top 4 teams you had to play.

Pretty disappointing. AFLW has always been family friendly and a supportive/encouraging atmosphere.St Kilda AFLW supporters under the spotlight again, with another fan under investigation from the integrity unit

Hopefully, this was a once off.

Almost certainly it was some arseh*le telling her that she looks like a man.
Presumably it was pretty nasty because Davidson is usually pretty unflappable.

Pretty surprising given how dominant we have been across the 10 years.
No Biddell in the AA team? Surely that's not right.

To be fair, we had two pretty poor years along the way.
The one on the womens.afl site is not the official one, just their prediction, right?
I agree, at least one of Prowse or Biddell has to make it for the team to have any credibility.
Given the game style we play, you take Biddell out of the team and we might not make finals! She is that good and that important.

We would most likely have lost to Geelong and St Kilda without her, and finished 7th or 8th.
