AFLW round 1 for season 11 is in the books and here's what we found out about each team.
Saints - still middle of the pack and tried to be more dynamic offensively but a major work in progress
Blues - I've got them as 3rd at the moment because they play very similar to North Melbourne, but still not as good as them
Melbourne - still probably the 2nd best team in it as they throw something different at the Roos
Hawks - backline will be an issue all year losing 3 our of their 5 starters from there from last season
North - are they even better?
Geelong - talent just doesn't match up with results but have a little bit of time with a new coach at the helm
Richmond - far more dynamic on offense than last year and a few positional changes worked very well
Pies - don't have the doeth to cover for injuries they already have - offense still a major issue
Suns - so young all over the ground but 9 shots to 10 in a 26pt loss
Bulldogs - could be anywhere finish anywhere this season - consistency will be what decides their season
Bombers - could score when they went forward but getting it there is a major issue
Lions - hunted the ball and player at an elite level but can I let you know after this week?
Adeliade - lost experience and replaced with youth but you can't have too many 2nd half fade outs in a 12 game season
Sydney - their best away win since their AFLW inception their time and showed real grit with 74 tackles and a 5.3 to 1.4 2nd half
Freo - need find a way to penetrate when in possession and to give themselves a chance to score
Port - an altered game style that still needs work but has top talent in all areas of the ground but possibly not the depth
GWS - not sure they've ever had game where the goaled in every quarter? OK i just checked, it isn't but they have only managed it in 12 out of their 89 games and only 1/season the last 2 season's so it's been a battle
WC - possibly 2nd-year-blues on the horizon but again they're all so young but you don't waste a year either
Today we look at:
- Gold Coast Kick Out Defense
- Sydney at Center Bounce x 2
- Port Adeliade Outnumber Fail x 2
- West Coast Forward 50 Stoppage Goal
