Damn, I just read this after drafting Anna Teague. I didn’t realise she was going to be out for a few weeks
That is why we have a pre Round 1 trade in for players not selected in week 1, they can only be swapped for a player who IS named for week 1. Most teams will have 2 to 4 players they may need to replace, obviously you won’t replace Lauren Pearce !!
Sorry I thought I had posted this last week which listed all the “official” practice match teams, noting several clubs did rest players ahead of round 1. https://womens.afl/news/41528/practice-match-squads
Ha! Yes, I knew Lauren Pearce was out when I drafted her, I’m happy to hold her for her career. I might even keep Teague too, depends on how the rest of my players are looking.

So, this has been bugging me for some time and I wonder how it will be presented this year.... The naming of the teams on a Thursday night. Teams in AFLW structure with a 5-6-5 format as directed by the rules of the game (5 backs, 6 mids, 5 forwards). Yet when team lists have been named they come out as 6-4-6 (no wings). It's a bug bear of mine and one that I hope is corrected come Thursday. Rant over.
