[Nate7]

And Flash back running!

 

[CURVE]

Flash is 5 games away from 50 and Mia is 7, potentially both could reach 50 this season, but Flash would need to return no later than round 9 and we play three finals games.

PSP compensation revealed: What each club gets for losing players to expansion

BRISBANE and Collingwood will receive a pick in the middle of the first round of the upcoming NAB AFLW Draft, after the AFL decided upon compensation for the Priority Signing Period.
The Lions' mid-first rounder is for Emily Bates, with the club also picking up a mid-second rounder for the loss of goalsneak Greta Bodey.
The Pies' first round pick is for losing Chloe Molloy to Sydney.
The compensation for other clubs that also lost players during the PSP has also been revealed.

Every club's ins and outs after the priority signing period
Adelaide: "band four" for Ash Saint (Port Adelaide), end of second round
Brisbane: "band one" for Emily Bates and "band three" for Greta Bodey (both Hawthorn), mid-first round and mid-second round
Carlton: "band two" for Lucy McEvoy (Sydney), end of first round
Collingwood: "band one" for Chloe Molloy (Sydney), mid-first round
Fremantle: "band five" for Janelle Cuthbertson (Port Adelaide), mid-third round
North Melbourne: "band five" for Brooke Brown (Essendon), mid-third round

The mid-point of a round is the pick that occurs after the "natural selection" of the team that finished ninth in the home and away season – if the ninth-place team trades that pick on, the position of the compensation pick remains at that mid-point.
An end-of-round selection occurs after the "natural selection" of the team which wins the Grand Final.
Where multiple compensation picks fall into the same band (e.g. Brisbane and Collingwood's band one selections), the two picks will occur in reverse ladder order of the clubs involved.
The date of the draft is yet to be finalised, but both clubs and the AFL are keen for it to occur before Christmas, to ensure a proper off-season for players and staff, with players knowing who they will be playing with prior to the new year.
The AFLW Grand Final is fixtured for Sunday, December 3.

The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have revealed their squad for the first of two Indigenous Rounds.
The same trio that were emergencies last week - Hannah Bowey, Niamh Martin, and Lucy Burke - have been added to the side that defeated the Dockers by 45 points in Fremantle, and are potential inclusion for this weekend's game against Yartapuulti (Port Adelaide).
Star onballer Ash Riddell is set to play her 50th AFLW game and 50th as a Kangaroo, while 2023 recruit Kate Shierlaw is also in line to make her 50th League appearance.
North Melbourne's final 21-player team will be confirmed on Friday at 5pm AEDT.

Not pointless at all, we gave the rest a good headstart. Not surprised to see there is about a season’s worth of games between the big three and the best of the rest.

Can you still bring dogs to the footy at Arden St? Asking for a friend

Kashy is watching at the fence with Emily Bates.

Wake the **** up!

Gatt just tried to body Phillips and I'm in awe at her audacity. The size difference is substantial

 

[TruRoos7]

Way to have an awesome jumper clash, wtf were they thinking allowing this..

 

[CURVE]

This has been a terrible start

 

[Samsquanch]

Throw-fest ignored and front on shove went unpenalised in front of goal. Incompetent umpiring is a feature of this sport.

Crazy. At the very least, why wouldn't Port be in white shorts!?

 

[Hazey1977]

Am I being too sensitive that in every AFLW match I watch our girls play I'm left with the impression the commentators (and sometimes umps) actively cheer for our opponents?

It really looks like there is a deliberate decision by umpires or their masters to pay minimal free kicks. They ball up in many situations when a free might have been paid. Frees are often only paid for the most blatant violations.

 

[Chadwiko]

So it's not just my dodgy eyes then? Other people are struggling with the jumper clash too?

Okay good.

Happens every game until a few minutes to go when it is clear we will win. Bookmark it.

I’m sitting next to a women who has explained to her kids about 10 times which team is which. Or I was, I’ve moved now!

O'Dea with 0 impact to QTR time. What's going on there?

They aren’t giving us anything. If Crocker had a set he’d call it out in the press conference
