ANOTHER season of the AFL Women’s competition is in the books, and with just four days between the grand final and the start of the Trade Period, we will quickly recap how each of the sides performed throughout the season. In the first of three articles, we review the bottom six sides, what went right, what went wrong and where they can go from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLLINGWOOD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finished: <\/strong>18th Collingwood had a horror season, losing 10 of its 11 games in the first year under new coach Sam Wright. The ex-Roo implemented a new gameplan that gave fans a glimpse into the future and the way the club wanted to play, but ultimately the lack of talent out on the park due to injuries and the shift in gamestyle meant piecing together four quarters was rarely ever easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The saving grace – or really the only celebratory moment – was a win over the Gold Coast Suns, though given the Sunshine State side finished just one spot above the Magpies meant that it was not a huge scalp. A massive positive was the form of defender Lucy Cronin<\/a>, earning selection in the 22 Under 22 side and being among the best Magpies each week in her first season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cronin along with fellow first-year draftees Amber Schutte<\/a> and Georgia Clark<\/a> also made their debuts, marking the start of what will hopefully be long careers for the trio. The Magpies will add some serious star power to its list at the AFLW Draft, holding pick one which barring a surprise trade, would likely be that of the ultra-skilled Ash Centra<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
