Selection headaches for Bucky and coaches. J Good, Hendrie to come in - Poppy can play either end. Keep Sherar mid I would keep Bella, potentially Keck to miss out &one other unlucky player too. Again, this is a HOME game for us. Got faith the group will get this done. #aflw

Bang!!! Shit yeah!!! What a win! Bagggggeerrsssss #aflw
Big half needed…. Obviously Finn, Keck, Vescio, Duursma all need to lift. Lions dominating with a forward half game and we are too slow in reacting to defend. Come on baggers. First 2 goals, we are back #aflw

Mick Stinear - Coach of the year? Surely… Outstanding turnaround by the club. #aflw

Do not trade Hendrie. She’s getting better and better
GWS is eyeing a move for Carlton's gun AFLW defender Maddy Hendrie. Contracted at the Blues for 2027 and has an offer to stay longer, but seen as a potential circuit-breaker in the expected talks for Cambridge McCormick. AFLW Inside Trading 👇🏼 @AFLcomau afl.com.au/news/1636426/insi…

Massive game next. Finals mindset starts now. Beat the Lions, Suns / Dogs lose Top 4. Double chance would be handy #aflw
We go again. This weekend's results confirm a return to finals football! Before then, another big road trip to take on Brisbane 🫡

If Georgie doesn’t win #aflw BnF… farrrkkkk something not right. Yes Garner / Riddell, but god almighty she hasn’t dropped the baton this year and one big reason why Geelong will go deep into finals.
GEORGIE PRESPAKIS YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR! 🤯 @Coles | #AFLWCatsFreo

Wow. Absolutely smashed in the contest. Our shape, blues collapsed, our forwards not working hard enough to support with defence. Mids not accountable around the ground. Wonder why J Good was managed. Massive credit to the dogs. Again, they look very connected and dangerous

Finals type game today. Shut down Pritchard in the contest, control the contest & our ball movement will flow. Our defence 🧱 Come on baggers!! #aflw

Do any clubs respect Erone Fitzpatrick ability to dominate the game. Or they do respect, but they just can’t stop her. First AA selection coming up for Ronnie BTW best defensive unit in the league, thanks to Finn (and other wingers) supporting the helpside #aflw @carltonfc_w

And there it is again…. The drug culture within footy clubs, especially local clubs is a MASSIVE concern. How do we stop this shit? Some take it and don’t get hooked, but others get hooked. Taking drugs to feel good? Or to hide any emotional pain? Very sad.

Despite Geelong only playing 2 top 8 teams, i genuinely think they’ll be a real threat during finals. Their ball movement, ability to kick high scores and quickly, is very impressive. #aflw

Credit to Tam Hyett Regardless who they play, they look very connected. #aflw

Can someone explain this to me, I’m confused? Was Michael Prior their previous coach? I’m sure Searle was before Dal…Or facts not checked…. @marnievinall could you confirm? 🙏

Scoring 1 point isn’t great. Searle two seasons 2020 5th conference B 90.6% 2021 11th 69.6% Dal Santo 2022 A 13th 53.1% 2022 B 13th 82.3% 2023 9th 102.3% 2024 11th 95.7% 2025 7th 87.5% Besides 2023, their attack hasn’t been their weapon. Game plan? Recruit? Skills?
The Bulldogs move to 6-2 👀 #AFLWDogsSaints

Nothing ever is too hard for H Such a role model for all - persists and leads the way with her discipline, to become the best version of herself on and off the field.
