The good news:

  1. We got close to them in the pre-season match… very different to last year!
  2. Port are definitely better than Willy; Pies are way ahead of FCFC.
  3. Huge benefit to be fixtured against them before the AFLW players get withdrawn (as they are likely not using any)

The bad news: they’re still premiership favourite, and for every Bernadi we’ve added since the practice match they’ve probably added a Dojiok.

Take with lashings of salt; the above may include some practice games, and outside this list are key players like Dojiok/Sutton/Tierney/Zander vs Richardson/McDonald/Molan.

(Sienna Hobbs beat Reynolds in the practice match. Prince was secondary ruck in that game and while Reynolds is a big unco who contributes little around the ground, she’s a big mountain to jump over.)
