2022 AFLW Draft team review: Western Bulldogs
AFTER losing a number of players to other AFL Women’s sides, the Western Bulldogs added four new faces through the 2022 AFL Women’s Draft to add to those couple of experienced players through the Trade Period. The Western Bulldogs welcomed talented youngsters Millie Brown (Geelong) and Daisy Bateman (North Melbourne) for either end of the […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: Sydney
ONE of the most highly talked about newcomers to the AFL Women’s for Season 7 was Sydney, with the Swans already topping the AFLW membership before a player had been signed. Those passionate supporters were rewarded at the 2022 AFLW Draft, when they managed to convince two top 10 Victorian prospects to nominate NSW-ACT. The […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: St Kilda
FINISHING 13th overall in the AFL Women’s and last among the Victorian sides, St Kilda unfortunately had to wait until the 16th pick in the 2022 AFLW Draft due to expansion sides. The Saints, who dearly missed the dominant young duo of Georgia Patrikios and Tyanna Smith last season, will look to try and build […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: North Melbourne
AFTER another so close, yet so far season of making the AFL Women’s finals but not getting to the last game of the year, North Melbourne headed back to the draft with five selections. In the 2022 AFLW Draft, the Roos were able to scoop up a couple of talls, and some high-upside, skilful smalls. […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: Hawthorn
ONE of two new expansion sides in the Victorian pool, Hawthorn took a different approach to Essendon’s list building process ahead of Season 7. While the Bombers stacked the list with readymade talent and some serious best-available stars, the Hawks went about assembling a side that Bec Goddard can play within the structures and game […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: Geelong
IN a comparably quiet night for the Cats as opposed to some past years, Geelong picked up the three players to compete its Season 7 list for AFL Women’s. Springing a surprise by being the second club to recall a past player who was previously delisted – after West Coast with Kate Bartlett – the […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: Essendon
NEWCOMERS Essendon had quite the large haul at the 2022 AFL Women’s Draft, picking up seven players, including two mature-agers to complete the Bombers list ahead of Season 7. The Bombers went for a mix of exciting forwards, natural leaders and club teammates, to cover all areas of the ground, but particularly looked at versatile […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: Collingwood
ONE of the teams who have been disadvantaged by the quick turnaround in seasons is Collingwood, with the Magpies minus star midfielders Brianna Davey and Brittany Bonnici for the upcoming Season 7. Collingwood had a number of changes over the off-season, and ended up with three selections in the AFLW Draft, picking up a couple […]
2022 AFLW Draft team review: Carlton
COPPING an external beating throughout 2022 and then in the off-season, Carlton will continue to dig deep in a bid to get back to the heights of 2019. The Blues reached the AFL Women’s Grand Final that year, and though they have lost quality over the off-season – highlighted by top-end talents Madison Prespakis and […]
