Round 4 is upon us quicker than first thought with the AFL rescheduling and adding extra games! At this stage it looks like all AFLW teams will be hitting the park this weekend. The two extra games including the WA sides will not be counted in round 4. This week sees the following matchups taking place Canberra Conservatives (2/1) vs Kyoto Kruisers (1/2) ==> last time they met Kyoto won by 96 The Conservatives have started out of the blocks under their new coach and the travelling Kruisers will have plenty of work trying to keep them at bay Lagos Royals (1/2) vs Las Vegas Legends (0/3) ==> last time they met Las Vegas won by 108 Someone's getting a valuable 4 points in this matchup - will the Royals push further up the ladder or will the Legends open their account for 2022 Lima Llamas (3/0) vs Korean Kickers (1/2) ==> last time they met the Kickers won by 108 Lima are fast becoming the team to beat this year with their powerful lineup. Can the visiting Kickers challenge or be the next to fall to the Llamas? Stuttgart Storm (2/1) vs Vancouver Vixens (2/1) ==> first time they met Vancouver won by 132 ==> the last time they met Stuttgart won by 52 to win the 2021 Premiership title The most evenly matched on paper, this could be the match of the round. The visiting Vixens will be keen to test themselves against the home Storm and this 4 points could be the most valuable of the round The deadline for postponements this week is Friday 2pm, and the full round lockout is the start of Carlton vs NM (Sunday 310pm) Can all coaches please note that due to tsleagues issues TTH has cleared all Round 3 teams and placed players into the Round 4 lineups on a somewhat random basis. As a result please ensure that your Collingwood and Fremantle players are correctly placed prior to the round commencing. Good luck everyone @Chloe @TheTassieHawk @CamCamMan88 @Peter W @dmandrews @hoschke118 @Pearcey47

Please refer to the above in the eventuality that there is an AFLW postponement advised prior to 2pm on Friday afternoon, otherwise it can be ignored. Please note that any AFLW postponements advised after 2pm on Friday night will not result in topups being accessed, this will be instead covered by "awarded scores" detailed later in the thread. Thanks TTH
The Premier League topup process used in Round 3 continues. It remains a 1:1 replacement, with only players ruled out for the 2022 season excluded from the calculation. Topup players can be selected from any postion and be named anywhere in the weekly squad of 18 that the coach prefers. If the postponed game is advised prior to Friday 2pm topups for that game apply, and if the postponed game involves 2 of the above Premier League aligned AFLW teams then the 2 Premier League teams involved must choose either Carlton or North Melbourne as their updated AFLW alignment partner. If the postponed game is advised after Friday 2pm then topups for that game do not apply and instead an AWARDED SCORE will be allocated based on the players current 2022 average times a % scaling factor of 75%. Either 1 or 2 postponements in any given round will see the Premier League carry on for the week irrespective of when the postponements were advised, however if a 2nd postponement occurs please be sure to head to this thread and await further directions from either @FreoDockers or myself. If there are 3 postponements in any given round then the round will be cancelled and played in place of the currently scheduled Round 8 so that we maintain a full home and away round robin where very sides plays each other prior to the finals. As advised previously coaches are required to have familiarity with how the postponement topup system works and be more engaged throughout the early part of the weekend due to the potential COVID impacts as far as rolling team selections, HSP's and potential postponements at short notice than would otherwise be the case. Please ask questions as you need but most of all have FUN, enjoy the footy and DO NOT feel any pressure at all to prioritise the comp over real life which always comes first. At this stage I anticipate the topup system being pared back post expansion of lists via the upcoming midseason draft in the 2nd week of February. @FreoDockers and I will advise at the earliest possible time once decisions are made for the post midseason draft period and Premier League Finals Series.
Can all coaches please note that I have removed round 3 topups from each squad. In doing so I did not save changes to teams correctly and then created issues in tsleagues that required me to either undo and redo the process or to clear all teams and due to lack of time I chose to do the latter. Please note that I have placed players into the Round 4 lineups on a somewhat random basis and you may have less than 18 in your team currently. As a result please ensure that your Collingwood and Fremantle players are correctly placed prior to the round commencing at 540pm (Melb time) on Thursday night. Cheers TTH

Hello Harriet Cordner is delisted due to LTI for the remainder of 2022. Canberra therefore selects Libby Birch (DEF) of the Melbourne Demons to join the squad. Thanks
We have our first postponement for the weekend with the Eagles / Saints clash put on the backburner as the Eagles have run out of players... This means the Storm (West Coast Eagles) and Vixens (St Kilda) will now need to have clubs re-assigned ASAP. The replacement clubs are North Melbourne and Carlton on a first in best dressed situation. http://tooserious.net/forum/stats.p...=FA&team=CAR&tsLeagueId=22&sort=ave&desc=desc http://tooserious.net/forum/stats.p...=FA&team=NTH&tsLeagueId=22&sort=ave&desc=desc Can @TheTassieHawk and @dmandrews please select your preferred team (Carlton or NM) for your topups asap. Hopefully that's it for the postponements for round 4
Legends sign the following from GEE: P McWilliams M McMahon D Maloney G Rankin C Emonson to replace: B Jakobsson (STK) R Watt (STK) E Friend (STK) I Lewis (WCE) D Hooker (WCE)
https://www.womens.afl/news/82184/friday-teams-five-giant-outs-dogs-get-backline-boost Plenty of outs for GWS and a few for the Dogs too !!
No worries @dmandrews, the Blues are yours while the Kangaroos hop over to Stuttgart to provide a D, F or IC reinforcement once Saturday and Sunday teams are finalised.
The Krushers topups come from tonights GWS game and players have been announced therefore we welcome: Ally Dallaway Ally Morphett Katherine Smith Lisa Steane to replace Hannah Priest Kate Shierlaw Charlie Thomas Parris Laurie
Apologies if too late, I can generally only get on a few hours before the game, and starting at 5pm is a real hard thing for me to get to. I saw I had three replacements to make, I just was going to go Gutknecht, Pritchard and Snell. The latter two I had as emergencies for defence and fwd anyway, Gutknecht I'd put on my bench because no one was there, but that was after Livingstone had already played as emergency (again didn't realise I'd be copping a zero as didn't get a chance to check). So if it's too late then just take Livingston's points instead of Gutknecht. Unfortunately the 5pm time difference just buggered me today.
Scratch this, just saw Davidson has been named to return, so Davidson will go to INT, Gutknecht MID EMG. That way the only Bulldogs inclusions are emergencies.
