AFLW West Coast Womens 2024

With the short turnaround it’ll be interesting to see who gets rested for the Collingwood game.

Think we’ve got Gooch, Simmons, Harken, Webb and Lyons all available.

Watching live I assumed Lakay would miss, because she seemed to be doing a ton of ruck work and I didn’t see Wakfer much.

Checked TOG% and it was 58-56. So I guess no change.

Lewis played a season low 69% including long shifts up forward so clearly they’re trying to balance it a little. Harken to come in for sure, maybe for the debutant?

Bushby 47% and I don’t recall an injury scare - she’s been around the 47-52% all season though so not sure about where she sits currently.

Maybe Cleaver sent back and Zakfer rested?

Was pleased to see that the Pies play today, assumed we’d be miles behind the eight ball on Tuesday but were actually in a better spot rest wise.

Pies are 0-2, in Brisbane today and already having to use train-ons to fill out their squad so we might be a sneaky chance of going 3-1.

Watching the Pies match now and we 100% should be starting faves again.
Pies are turnover merchants and look slow.
Especially with them coming off a 3 day break.

Only tuned in from half time but I was worried about the opposite. Brisbane are just another level entirely and so much cleaner than any of the sides we’ve faced, makes it look like they’re playing a different sport entirely. Feel like Pies have held their own from half time, maybe the Lions took the foot off the gas, but I was a little worried how competent they looked given the scoreline.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Think we all know we got away with one a bit in Round 1, but Richmond look pretty formidable since. Could wind up being one of the biggest nights in program history when we look back.

Oh FFS ‍, she just can’t take a trick this season.
Was ( still am ) really looking forward to seeing her and Schilling in tandem in the backline.
When the two finally team up, to be the two key posts in the backline, I am expecting a more attacking and free flowing Chuckie, she is one of the smarter footy brains in the side and her creativity will set up goal scoring opportunities further down the ground.

I can see the link up Thomas attacking of half back with some run and carry, passes to Roberts on the move who turns for home and goals.

Preview - AFLW Round 4, 2024: West Coast vs Collingwood

The condensed AFLW fixture throws up an early quirk, as the West Coast Eagles (who last played on Thursday) take on Collingwood (who played interstate on Friday). Given the short turnaround, it's hard to know what either side will bring to the table, but a bizarre rest and travel advantage for...

Brisbane vs a Blackburn less Doggies what's the current record in terms of score against?

 

[garlic munchers]

Watched the replay of the Pies game again and if Hoskins what you get when you recruit a player with a bit of bogan streak who wants to turn it around, let’s make the Daisy lead WC the Cats redemption club of the AFLW.

Fair way to go, but the club looks like a great place to be about and if Daisy keeps this up, we will need to give her a pay rise and a serious involvement in our men’s team coaching group to ensure she is locked away, because the Vic team will be coming at her hard.

Brisbane vs a Blackburn less Doggies what's the current record in terms of score against?

Doggies actually put up a bit of a fight considering. I was expecting a one sided smashing. It was a comfortable win, but not a complete smashing.

The game was more open end-to-end, less congested, and the Doggies have good young players who can run. With less physical pressure, they actually looked okay. If it was more congested and ugly, they'd probably have struggled more.

Will be interesting to see which kind of game we get on Sunday, and how we handle it. If it's fast and open, Ella might go crazy in the form she's in.

Bugger. Shocking team to be missing Hosking against.

The Eagles’ leading goalkicker Jess Hosking has been withdrawn with a quad strain following Tuesday’s 17-point win over Collingwood at IKON Park.

Hosking finished the game but reported tightness in the quad post-match, with an MRI confirming a strain that will likely see her sidelined for three-to-four weeks.

Emerging wing Jaide Britton will also miss Sunday’s game after developing delayed concussion symptoms and entering concussion protocols.

Britton came off for a HIA mid-game after her head made contact with the ground during a tackle but was cleared to return to the field.

Star defender Sophie McDonald has been named in the extended squad, after missing the first part of the season with concussion symptoms.

New recruit Roxy Roux has also been included after sustaining a broken hand in the final pre-season training session earlier this year.

Anyone want to fire up a preview for Sunday’s game.

 

[squashface]

Damn - injuries are so brutal in the short season of AFLW, even those on the minor end.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Hosking out for a month is a hell of a blow. God damn it.

Her and Drenno have been amazing for the gals.

 

[DanWCE]

Far out, rough trot with the injuries

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Reckon we might have had to name some emergencies that aren’t actually ready to play (specifically Roux but maybe also McDonald).

Squads are going to have to be increased next season, particularly if these super-short turnarounds are still going to be a thing.

And you understand why I like recruiting players from Vic Country compared to some of the Sandringham Sooks

Couldn't agree more.

You guys aware that the WAFLW season will most likely be 16 rounds next year with Perth coming in? (14 atm)

Squads of 38 or so

You've set the standard too high I'm afraid in Honey badger we trust

Star on the rise: Kaitlyn Srhoj

Greater Western Sydney’s Kaitlyn Srhoj reflects on receiving the AFLW Rising Star nomination for week three of 2024.

www.afl.com.au

Shroj seems to be developing into a bullish mid with a set of mitts that are vice like. Something I noticed in our last game was a lot of dropped marks that shouldn't have been, I'd love if we targeted a taller player this draft that can help off half back with a strong set of hands and physicality to send us forwards. Even swing forward to be a hit up target too.
