Are there any early guesses for who kicks off the countdown?

FA: Key forward. If Gall/Harris leave, replacements will be vital, both to draw attention away from Zanker, and to allow a better split between fwd and mid for Hore.
Draft: Wing/hb Chaplin is more lockdown than distributor, Goldrick is 34, and McNamara needs a partner in crime.
#AFLW
FA: Ruck. Darby, Featherstone & Bragg aren’t a finals contending ruck trio. Get some experience (Sarah Lakay) asap.
Draft: MegMac is in her career twilight, and ARK is returning to Ireland, so defender depth is key. Geelong allowed the 4th highest rate of marks per i50 in s9.
#AFLW
FA: Small/Mid FWD. No team averaged fewer tackles i50 & Jesse Wardlaw had the league’s 2nd highest score involvement %. The return of Patrikios pushes Guttridge back i50, but I’d still want more.
Draft: Mids with high upside and some forward craft, Choppy ain’t around forever.

#AFLW
FA: Taller FWDs. The Dogs were 17th for marks i50 + Dogs mids often forced to dump kick inside because they lacked experienced targets + good forward structure
Draft: Whatever they feel like, this is the youngest roster in the AFLW, and have possible future openings on every line.

If it was a clear majority of fans, the game wouldn't be consistently growing year-on-year.

All bar 3 are intended as attacks.
I’ve had to hide multiple comments calling me a b*tch, D*ddy supporter, d*ke, f*ggot, p*ssy….
Although, the contradiction of comments telling me to “cry more” & those asking why I’m still crying is quite funny.

#AFLW
FA: Ruck/Forward. This is cheating, because WCE need both forward targets and to make a choice on their ruck future, with Lyons out, and Wakfer and Lakay in and out of favour.
Draft: A key position utility or midfield project will bolster their list long term.

FA: Key Forward. The tall fwd mix of Austin & the Moodys didn’t work for the Blues, finishing bottom 3 in marks i50 and Mi50 rate.
Draft: Sophie McKay has the speed/physicality mix that will bolster the Blues long term, and can arrives as a father/daughter selection

#AFLW
FA: Tall defender. Could easily go with another mid, but I’d say that a taller lockdown defender is more necessary, as Brenna Tarrant often has to battle the true giants at only 174cm
Draft: If Montane Ham is a forward long-term, then a midfielder w/ size (Rasheed & O’Hehir)

#AFL
FA: Ruck/Forward. Tarni Evans is a top tier rebounding defender cast as an effective forward to cover for poor forward depth. Zarlie sits deep in the goal square. O’Dowd needs more time to hone her craft.
Draft: Take the speed of Zippy Fish or the mid/forward dynamo Rasheed.

FA – Defenders/pressure generators. No team allowed more shots at goal than GCS and ranked 15th for intercept differential and 16th for turnover differential.
Draft – Take Havana Harris (but they do need to decide on what to do with Bella/Davies)

Free Agency: Forwards! Few teams are in more desperate need of forward excellence than the Pies, who ranked last in shots/game with 7.8, 5 below league average & 1.4 below 17th.
Draft: Don’t overthink it, draft Ash Centra and get her into the midfield ASAP.

I'll be doing a post for each team, starting with Collingwood!

Fascinating as well to see no coaching change at GWS yet, who, in my opinion, have the better list, but are also underperforming on field.
From the outside looking in, both club operations seem poor.

Sucks that Fowler is out, this is the type of game where she could have dominated
