AFLW 2024 - Round 2 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
West Coast is going through a rebuild, so they're not likely to be good. But they couldn't even finish last in a year where their injury was so bad that they had to use multiple top up players across several games that weren't even on their list. Significant improvement will come just from having a normal injury run.I think most people agree it will be between North, West Coast, Hawthorn and GWS.
North - Crap in 2022, hard to see where much improvement is coming in 2023
West Coast - Same as above. Hard to see where a significant improvement is coming.
GWS - Were not good in 2022 and have since lost Hopper and Taranto
Hawthorn - Were not good in 2022 and have since lost Gunston, Mitchell and O'Meara.
Probably Hawthorn will finish last. They have a few aspiring players but youth is only so good. Reckon the club will choose to prioritise draft picks to continue to build a core. If you trade out Mitchell and O'Meara - former landmark signings - it's an indication of rebuild mode. If they were chasing a flag, Mitchell would have stayed. At the moment, the club has no direction beyond a rebuild and they can't really focus on footy when the off-field department is such a mess. Not to mention lingering issues with racism.Hawthorn lost the most experience in one shot. That never ends well in the short term. But they are in full rebuild mode so not too much expectation on them.
Eagles are a different case. They have their experience still on the list. Whether they are cooked, or just had a bad year remains to be seen. JK is a big loss for sure, but the midfield and defence is still there.
North have acquired some experience to go with the youth, I do think they'll be better in 2023. Probably a couple extra wins.
GWS.. remains to be seen what no Taranto/Hopper does. They do have a fair bit of mids, they probably could be better but that remains to be seen.
West Coast would have won the spoon in nearly any other year. They were just lucky that North were the worst team since the early GC and GWS teamsWest Coast is going through a rebuild, so they're not likely to be good. But they couldn't even finish last in a year where their injury was so bad that they had to use multiple top up players across several games that weren't even on their list. Significant improvement will come just from having a normal injury run.
North may improve a bit from better coaching. Or maybe not. Hawks are likely to be worse as they've cut experienced players. I think one of them will finish last.

All 3 not part of the next premiership side. You also mentioned in a previous post they were all really important players which there clearly not otherwise we would have kept them. Gunston and McEvoy are the only 2 we wanted to go around at least 1-2 more years with us. We have a good core around that 22-25 years old mark which is where the next batch of leaders are already coming through. Age doesn't equal being a good leader nor does how many years you have been in the system. You can be self driven and set the example when your quite young. Selwood is a good example of this. Newcombe came back in September before anybody else to get a bit of conditioning in. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.I think most people agree it will be between North, West Coast, Hawthorn and GWS.

I am surprised you didn't add the dockers on this poll. You usually do lolPurely going on list age you have to say Hawks.
If the Hawks manage to avoid the bottom with a list full of school kids then whoever finishes below them should be ashamed of themselves.
I just can't see west coast get the wooden spoonOn talent, WC should finish last but their home ground advantage will.see them win enough to avoid the spoon. GWS gets it in my opinion, unbalanced list, club in turmoil etc.

Port will make finals in 2023. I see them post a 14-9 recordPort are my wildcard if things go belly up injury wise and they have a pretty difficult draw (least to start the season
Yeah they are, but idk why you felt the need to bring up Richmond at all tbh. Rent free.

And after brutal draws the last two seasons we’re drawn to play both twice next year, which is a nice change.It's a clear cut bottom 2 between North and Hawthorne.
Why stop there?Well it could be a few things:
- Our best defender and leading intercept marker on average playing more than 9 full games in the back line
- Our best midfielder of the past decade playing more than 2 nothing games.
- A pick 3 not being strucken out by glandular fever
- Tarryn Thomas and/or Jaidyn Stephenson pulling the finger out of their asses
- Bringing in a solid B grade key defender
- Other young players improving
North tanked better.is the reason WC missed the spoonEagles had the worst run of injuries in history last year and still couldn’t finish last.
Now be honest..... Tell me your master plan for the saints to finish as far away from the wooden spoon as possible? LoL.And after brutal draws the last two seasons we’re drawn to play both twice next year, which is a nice change.
On top end talent, the Eagles shouldn’t be anywhere near the bottom 4, their best 10 or so players are well above any of the other teams mentioned on here.On talent, WC should finish last but their home ground advantage will.see them win enough to avoid the spoon. GWS gets it in my opinion, unbalanced list, club in turmoil etc.
