Round 4 is coming up this week in AFLW keeper league. I hoping we have every coach this week will have a win on the board would be nice so hopefully the Kruisers have a win this week. Stuttgart Storm (@Jono Steven) 3-0 vs Vancouver Vultures (@Athos123) 1-2 Storm are the only team in the league who is underfeated their team is really strong helped out by a strong defence and the solid role players to have a strong team. The Vultures just came off a narrow loss to Caribou who is in second hopefully can knock off the Storm who is in first and see them have their first loss would be amazing to see. Quebec Caribou (@FreeKickLiam) 2-1 vs Lima Llamas (@hoschke118) 2-1 This matchup is both team coming off narrow wins last week which makes this contest interesting. Hopefull the Lllams top 3 midfield of Purcell, Newton and Parker can stand up to Garner, Riddell Morrison and Hanks. Is this the week the Llamas can give an upset? Or will it be the Caribou just roles on again and keep a top 2 spot going into round 5. Lagos Royals (@Peter W) 2-1 vs Korean Kickers (@Chloe) 1-2 We just have seen in the past round the royals had their first lost of the season. The Kickers are coming into this week on a high with a first win of the season. Hopefully this matchup is really interesting depending who is played this week will be the difference on who wins. Darmstadt Dynamos (@WillH_VI) 2-1 vs Adelaide All-Stars (@Corza) 1-2 Both teams had close matches last week. Where the Dynamos won their match and the All-Stars narrowly lossed due to Indy Tahau doing her ACL on field over Slocombe. The Dynamos has a great team coming into this but it might come down to the returning Stars of All-Stars with Taylor Smith, Erika O'Shea also maybe a debut of Carrys D'Addario but will not have Tahau for the year. I also feel the midfield battle will be the most crucial to to this matchup of Marinoff, Whitfort, Gaylor and Beeson versus Gardiner, Nanscawen, Finn and Schliecher. May the best team win. Kyoto Kruisers (@FreoDockers) 0-3 vs Majorca Islanders (@TheTassieHawk) 1-2 The Kruisers are the only side in the comp to not win a game this season yet. I unserstand they are in a bit of a rebuild at the moment. I would love to see all coaches have one win this week for season going into this week. The Islanders this week has just come off a loss to the 3-0 start in storm which they are also looking for a bounce back week and trying to get the win also. This I feel will be an interesting matchup and can't wait to see who gets out on top.
And a reminder that the intercomp commences this week and runs through Rounds 4-7 Good luck to the 8 Premier League teams competing (everyone except the Kickers and Llamas). http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/2026-intercomp-commences-round-4.92185/
Based on last week's team with Indi Strom omitted for the Dockers and @FreoDockers out of the country I would reckon that Belloni is brought onfield as an oop D3 and Holly Ridewood slots in as an oop Def Emg. With Sydney playing the early Saturday slot Ham switches with Miller, which leaves Def: Emma Swanson, Grace Belloni OOP, Emily Pease (Holly Ridewood OOP) Ruck: Tahlia Hickie (Lauren Pearce) Mid: Carly Remmos, Jasmine Fleming, Hayley Miller, Georgie Prespakis (Lily Goss) Fwd: Ash Richards, Ash Centra, Georgia Garnett (Poppy Scholz) IC: Ava Usher, Montana Ham (no emg) Not named - Indi Strom, Charlie Hazelhurst, Jes Rentsch, Kaitlyn Shroj, Ellie Blackburn, Sarah Hosking, Taylah Gatt This leaves Goss as midfield cover and no-one covering if Usher is a late out as IC1, I haven't checked whether the Kruisers have another unused player who can cover as IC emergency but hopefully they should be able to roll with a full 12.5 players against the Islanders and bring in some fit and playing replacements at the midseason draft.
Def: Zippy Fish, Chelsea Biddel, Molly McDonald(Aoife Healy) Mid: Abbie Mckay, Madison Prespakis, Anne Hatchard, Isabelle Dawes (Ruby Tripodi) Ruck: Stephanie Wales (Courtney Murphy) Fwd: Tayla Harris, Eloise Jones, Teah Charlton (Alyssa Bannan) Interchange: Madison Newman, Shelley Heath (Keeley Sherar)
Lagos Royals: DEF: Serene Watson, Cambridge McCormick, Tamara Smith (Alana Gee) MID: Kiara Bowers, Shineah Goody, Kate Hore, Britt Bonnici (Jade Britton) RUC: Matilda Scholz (Lauren Bella) FWD: Chloe Molloy, Bonnie Toogood, Tahlia Randall (Olivia Wolmarans) INT: Georgia Patrikios, Isabelle Pritchard (Tarni Evans) Injured: Aisling McCarthy
Just the one change for the Lima Llamas In: Cronin Out: Cowcher Def: Molly Brooksby, Lucy Cronin, Zoe Wakfer (Evie Cowcher) Mid: Liv Purcell, Gabby Newton, Alyce Parker, Bri Davey (Piper Window) Ruck: Ally Morphett (Lily Quigley OOP) Fwd: Alice O'loughlin, Blaithin Bogue, Kalinda Howarth (Sierra Grieves) Int: Lucy Single, Sarah Goodwin (Elaine Grigg) Others: Danielle Ponter, Mia King, J'Noemi Anderson, Emmelie Fiedler, Kiera Yerbury, Emma Murray
