AFLW is much more dynamic than AFL, and injuries or trades to just one key player has far more influence than AFL, and it's not always the marquee player, you cannot assume teams won't drastically improve or drastically deteriorate in one pre-season.

My only gripe is why we keep playing the Crows in Adelaide.
No we didn't.
We finished 3rd in our conference. Won week 1 and week 2, so we were top 4 at best.

You are the one who said it won't matter who we play or where we play....and then you call that arrogant?
Pot Kettle.
Crash is right, which was my point. The easybeat teams are the ones we don't play.
I'm still confident we will make and play finals. But that draw could cost us a 1st round bye.

I made a pretty simple points, written above, not a spoken word, breathless whisper, telepathy or telekinesis, but somewhat summarised simply that it's wrong to assume last season's weak teams will be next season's weak teams, and that no win is guaranteed.
If anyone thinks a win is guaranteed that is clearly an arrogance, it's tortoise and hare territory!
This we can debate, because it's actually written here in the thread!

Sarah Black (Miss AFLW!) was asked to pick her 3 favourites for the flag.
North
Freo
Carlton
When pushed for her favourite - Carlton!
(FWIW, she is a Tigers fan).
Big year for the ladies.....make it happen!
