Do we have a good squad this season ?

We have depth (particularly talls and experienced) out our wazoo.
Un-precedently, we have lost just one player of consequence, but unfortunately it was one of the best in the league and was in our weakest area (Abbey MacDonald, midfield).
There’s a bunch of significant players with one or no practice matches under their belt (Bernardi, Albrecht, Chloe and Bailey Hunt, Richardson, Plummer, Thompson, Hales). So we are not at full form yet, and I have absolutely no idea what our best 21 is (but in a good way, not in a can’t-fill-the-21 way).
We strangled two poor teams in the practice matches, but were apparently well beaten by back-to-back Norf in the final practice match.

Finally… final training session before proper action!
Many still not wearing correct numbers.
Prpic and Bailey start sidelined. Prpic is doing some decent straight-line pace, but ways to go.
Vogt running with Bailey.
Tyrell just kicking.
TayHartAluni in full training.
Hales in 53.
Evasion drill, TayHartAluni ridiculously sneaky.
Bernardi starts with running (normal, seems fine). Is disconcertingly blonde.
If you give it up in this drill, the opposition snap at goal.
Tia DOESN’T MISS.
El really hates giving it up, goes in hard to get it back.
No AFLW reps, but they already have their own sessions this week.
Thompson not present… but ol’ sticky fingers Ibrahim is wearing her 74. I got excited for a moment when she was winning a sprint!
MaggieM documenting recovery group.
GardinerDunn in training.
Reynolds is allergic to a clean mark.
(It’s a heavy dew night, but not good.)
Tyrell progresses to running laps.
TayHartAluni ridiculous handball through her opponent’s legs pops her group.
No Jayda. You gotta think Chloe Hunt is going to play (she’s been pretty sharp tonight).
Scar arrives, running. She’s some way from playing.
Prpic moves to more (but not very) physical stuff (bumps, tackling).
ChristinaBernardi still running, but switched from boots to sneakers.
