Geelong's AFLW side continue playing beautiful, ferocious, fast-flowing, inspiring football. Amazing what difference an off-season can make. A group of footballers both focused on the task and free to express themselves. Tremendous viewing.

The latest of Jake's VFL Player Review videos focuses on a first-year Cat who did most of his work outside the limelight in 2026. Nick Driscoll was impressive in his rookie campaign, with room to grow in 2027. 📈 youtu.be/mIzSXKD_D7w?si=DVxR…

Yeah, definitely the solution now that general play in the league is trending toward a great level and legitimate pathways are in place to grow a deeper talent pool in the sport... ... it's ok not to watch the W. But you don't have to be weird about it either, sheesh.
Replying to @thehoopscrew
Well I was close with one of the teams. Time to disband the AFLW, too many teams, no talent.
