Looks like pick 8 will be on the table for Essendon
#AFLW
in this trade deal, but I get the sense that Richmond will be keen to atone for their loss of Eilish Sheerin by playing hard ball... Feels like a lot still to play out

news from Riley Beveridge - Breed to Pies would be a serious coup, and if Essendon were able to secure Yassir for Paige Scott, it might help soothe the pain of losing a former top 10 pick. Tayla Harris feels like a last second deadline deal at best...

9th Melbourne FA: Key forward. If Gall/Harris leave, replacements will be vital, both to draw attention away from Zanker, and to allow a better split between fwd and mid for Hore. Draft: Wing/hb Chaplin is more lockdown than distributor, Goldrick is 34, and McNamara needs a partner in crime.

10th Geelong FA: Ruck. Darby, Featherstone & Bragg arenât a finals contending ruck trio. Get some experience (Sarah Lakay) asap. Draft: MegMac is in her career twilight, and ARK is returning to Ireland, so defender depth is key. Geelong allowed the 4th highest rate of marks per i50 in s9.

Jumping on this post as the gutter journos haven't moved over here yet (sorry Sean), to share this graphic about how silly this is. If it was a clear majority of fans, the game wouldn't be consistently growing year-on-year.

100 replies on this on âTwitterâ All bar 3 are intended as attacks. Iâve had to hide multiple comments calling me a b*tch, D*ddy supporter, d*ke, f*ggot, p*ssyâŠ. Although, the contradiction of comments telling me to âcry moreâ & those asking why Iâm still crying is quite funny.

11th St Kilda FA: Small/Mid FWD. No team averaged fewer tackles i50 & Jesse Wardlaw had the leagueâs 2nd highest score involvement %. The return of Patrikios pushes Guttridge back i50, but Iâd still want more. Draft: Mids with high upside and some forward craft, Choppy ainât around forever.

12th WBD FA: Taller FWDs. The Dogs were 17th for marks i50 + Dogs mids often forced to dump kick inside because they lacked experienced targets + good forward structure Draft: Whatever they feel like, this is the youngest roster in the AFLW, and have possible future openings on every line.

13th WCE FA: Ruck/Forward. This is cheating, because WCE need both forward targets and to make a choice on their ruck future, with Lyons out, and Wakfer and Lakay in and out of favour. Draft: A key position utility or midfield project will bolster their list long term.

14th Carlton FA: Key Forward. The tall fwd mix of Austin & the Moodys didnât work for the Blues, finishing bottom 3 in marks i50 and Mi50 rate. Draft: Sophie McKay has the speed/physicality mix that will bolster the Blues long term, and can arrives as a father/daughter selection

15th Sydney FA: Tall defender. Could easily go with another mid, but Iâd say that a taller lockdown defender is more necessary, as Brenna Tarrant often has to battle the true giants at only 174cm Draft: If Montane Ham is a forward long-term, then a midfielder w/ size (Rasheed & OâHehir)

16th GWS Giants FA: Ruck/Forward. Tarni Evans is a top tier rebounding defender cast as an effective forward to cover for poor forward depth. Zarlie sits deep in the goal square. OâDowd needs more time to hone her craft. Draft: Take the speed of Zippy Fish or the mid/forward dynamo Rasheed.

17th Gold Coast Suns FA â Defenders/pressure generators. No team allowed more shots at goal than GCS and ranked 15th for intercept differential and 16th for turnover differential. Draft â Take Havana Harris (but they do need to decide on what to do with Bella/Davies)

While GCS underperformed this year, I think their overall list needs improving. Fascinating as well to see no coaching change at GWS yet, who, in my opinion, have the better list, but are also underperforming on field. From the outside looking in, both club operations seem poor.

Game has started poorly for the Tillies, in spite of having some great space between the middle and forward thirds Sucks that Fowler is out, this is the type of game where she could have dominated

First bounce matchups from Port were perfect, King v Dowrick, Garner v Moloney, Riddell vs Hammond At the last few, Ash Saint has been against Garner, and its lead to two easy North clearances

Prelim Finals time here are some of my thoughts! Port @ North đs to victory PTA: Make M. King/Tripod win the mids battle, not Garner/Riddell. Get f50 entries deep enough to force Ferguson/Birch into 1v1s NTH: Avoid complacency, you have the better DEFs, MIDs & FWDs Prediction: NTH 21 pts

Genuine question: When was it decided that
#AFL
and
#AFLW
would use 'Phantom Draft' instead of 'Mock Draft' to descibe pre-draft predictions? The rest of the sporting world, including fantasy, uses Mock Draft, and it's bugging me that I don't know why Aussie Rules is different.

Genuinely baffling to see that GWS haven't announced that they will be looking for a new coach for next season. Remains possible that the decision is still to be made, it took 2 weeks after their final game of the season to announce that McConnell was done post Season 6.
