Always the case. Sherar mid Need Good to play -with Bella in the ruck. Allow Poppy to play HF / HB - give her some freedom to impact scoreboard. Hendrie back rotations Besides Garner & Riddell, canโ€™t let Craven or Oโ€™Shea dictate. Sheerin is becoming more dangerous too #aflw
We'll be without Claudia Whitfort for Saturday's qualifying final at IKON Park, while another two Blues are tests to return. INJURY UPDATE: carltonfc.com.au/news/216127โ€ฆ

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 neededโ€ฆ. 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

Do not trade Hendrie. Sheโ€™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 ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ @AFLcomau afl.com.au/news/1636426/insiโ€ฆ

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 ๐Ÿซก

If Georgie doesnโ€™t win #aflw BnFโ€ฆ farrrkkkk something not right. Yes Garner / Riddell, but god almighty she hasnโ€™t dropped the baton this year and one big reason why Geelong will go deep into finals.
GEORGIE PRESPAKIS YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR! ๐Ÿคฏ @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 ๐Ÿงฑ Come on baggers!! #aflw

Do any clubs respect Erone Fitzpatrick ability to dominate the game. Or they do respect, but they just canโ€™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 againโ€ฆ. The drug culture within footy clubs, especially local clubs is a MASSIVE concern. How do we stop this shit? Some take it and donโ€™t get hooked, but others get hooked. Taking drugs to feel good? Or to hide any emotional pain? Very sad.
BREAKING: A Melbourne based AFL team has been plunged into an off-season crisis with players forced to report to hospital after suffering complications from allegedly taking recreational drugs.๐Ÿ“Œ MORE: tinyurl.com/mvpuphbf @cassiezervos

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

Can someone explain this to me, Iโ€™m confused? Was Michael Prior their previous coach? Iโ€™m sure Searle was before Dalโ€ฆOr facts not checkedโ€ฆ. @marnievinall could you confirm? ๐Ÿ™

Scoring 1 point isnโ€™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 hasnโ€™t been their weapon. Game plan? Recruit? Skills?
The Bulldogs move to 6-2 ๐Ÿ‘€ #AFLWDogsSaints
