    I liked Nell last year up forward. She is a natural for the forward line. Will only get better too Hd.

    This would be a hard game for the coaches being we play them in a couple of weeks as in you don't want to give too much away.
    Don't piss off old people
    The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

    Considering how much our squad has changed (not so much quantity, but definitely key players changing) i reckon we'd just be hellbent on trying to figure out what works.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    I get so frustrated by the umpiring in the AFLW just no consistency.

    Big Loss

    AFLW: Debbie Lee departs the Kennel,

    Western Bulldogs’ General Manager of Women’s Football Debbie Lee will depart the Kennel for a new opportunity at the AFL.


    Lee has been appointed National Women and Girls Action Plan Lead at League headquarters.


    A pioneer for women’s footy and tireless advocate for females in the elite game, Lee played a key part in the establishment of the AFLW competition prior to starting at the Bulldogs in 2017.


    Lee said she was grateful for her time at the Kennel, and will miss the Club dearly.


    “It was a privilege to work at the Western Bulldogs, a pioneering, progressive club which is genuine in its commitment to women’s football,” she said.


    “I am thankful for the opportunity to work with so many amazing people – from the AFLW players and staff right through to administration, ‘Burkey’, ‘Granty’, Ameet and the board. It’s been a wonderful experience for me.


    “The 2018 premiership was a highlight, along with observing the growth of our playing group. They are a terrific group of women, who bring a unique energy to the Club.


    “I’ll miss being around the place, but under the guidance of Burkey, the coaches and the fantastic support staff, I see a great future for the AFLW team.


    "I wish the entire club the very best and look forward to supporting the Dogs on the sidelines."

    Fearless documentary on Disney+, one of the four teams being followed is the Dogs.

    Episode one is out and it looks to be good quality.

    Re: Aflw 2022

    These legends all work two jobs to fund their career

    The dream of playing elite-level AFL as a full time job is drawing closer for many of the leagues female players.

    Many players hold down more than one job to stay afloat, even though the average salary of all 540 players was lifted from $23,904 to $46,280 in a one-year pay deal announced in May.

    Nell Morris-Dalton, a forward for the Western Bulldogs, works as a nurse as a "back up" job to pay for her footy career.

    The 21-year-old works at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and races to training almost straight after, where she will stay until late in the night before starting again early the next day.

    "[AFLW] isn’t classified as a full-time commitment yet despite the fact we do work full-time hours and with the money not being quite enough you have to have a back up career," she told The Oz. "It’s quite exhausting having to work all day at the hospital from 7 am and then go straight to training from about 4pm-9:30pm at night and then you get up and you go again the next day."

    Morris-Dalton lamented that it was a "big point" spectators of AFL-W or female sport in general don't take into consideration.

    "There’s a reason why sometimes we can’t perform as well and why we’re more prone to injuries because we’re generally really exhausted from working two jobs," she added.

    Where to from here?
    "I’m constantly getting complimented and praised for wow that’s incredible, I can't believe you can do that. However, it’ll be really good if we can switch the conversation topic to putting that into frustration and driving change within that."

    "I think everyone’s really used to doing a massive balancing act because we’re females and we’ve had to do it for our life."



    Excitement around the women’s league has been building since its debut as an eight-team competition in 2017 with seven rounds.

    All 18 AFL clubs are fielding a team for the first time in round one of the women’s competition next week.

    It was revealed in May that player salaries across the board would increase by 94 per cent, with tier one players to receive $71,935, tier two players to receive $55,559, tier three $47,372 and tier four $39,184.

    She impressed me last year. A lovely kick for goal. Looking forward to see how she goes this year.

    Dogs match on line at midday.
    Looks like the full match replay should be available at about 3 o'clock. Cuts out all the ads and breaks so only runs for 75 minutes.

    I’m watching. We look to have regressed a fair bit from last season.
