The 2023 season feels like a new era for AFLW, coming out of a growth spurt in 2022.

The League compacted two seasons back-to-back into 2022 to get an 18-team competition started and, as expected, the established teams dominated.

Season 6 was won by Adelaide, a send-off for Erin Phillips before she became the face of Port Adelaide.

Season 7 saw Melbourne finally winning the flag and sending Daisy Pearce off into the sunset with a well-deserved premiership.

Across the two home and away seasons, Adelaide went 17-3, the Brisbane Lions 17-3 and Melbourne 18-2.

ON FOR YOUNG AND OLD

West Coast won only three games and St Kilda just five. Carlton and Fremantle both fell sharply in Season 7 following the expansion to 18 teams.

Essendon was the pick of the expansion bunch in its first year thanks to the recruitment of big names such as Madi Prespakis, Bonnie Toogood and Georgia Gee

ERIN PHILLIPS

Hawthorn went 3-7, Port Adelaide 1-8 and the Sydney Swans 0-10. However, all three enter 2023 reinforced by star signings.

The Swans have brought in Chloe Molloy (ex-Collingwood) and Lucy McEvoy (Carlton), the Hawks landed Emily Bates and Greta Bodey from the Lions and Port Adelaide gained Ashleigh Saint (nee Woodland, Adelaide) and Janelle Cuthbertson (Fremantle).

The end of 2022 also saw the retirement of several stars of the competition, including Jess Duffin, Kara Antonio, Tanya Hetherington, Courtney Wakefield, Kate McCarthy, Marijana Rajcic, Dayna Cox, Maddy McMahon, Alison Downie, Elise O’Dea, Cora Staunton and, of course, Pearce.

The 2023 season will also see the return of the September start time, confirming the League’s move away from summer.

For the second successive season, all 18 clubs will be represented, but the established teams should dominate once again.

NIC NEGREPONTIS

READY TO ROAR: Led by AFLW Best and Fairest Ally Anderson, the Lions will be out to atone for last season’s Grand Final loss.

While this will be a welcome change for the players, it does mean competing with the AFL finals series for eyeballs.

The Lions and the Demons enter as equal flag favourites given they played off in an epic Grand Final last season.

Can the Crows return to their dominant best despite losing key players, or is their era of dominance over?

Collingwood, which has made the finals three years in a row, lost Steph Chiocci (St Kilda), Jordan Membrey (Gold Coast) and Jaimee Lambert (St Kilda), gaining Tarni White (St Kilda) and Nell Morris-Dalton (Bulldogs).

North Melbourne gained veteran key forward Kate Shierlaw (St Kilda) – could she be the final piece of the premiership puzzle for a veteran team that has been in the mix?

Richmond was the big riser in Season 7, climbing all the way to fifth, and the Tigers were busy in the trade period with the addition of Caitlin Greiser (St Kilda), Molly Eastman (Sydney Swans) and Courtney Jones (Gold Coast).

The Lions and Demons enter as equal flag favourites

HUNGRY FOR MORE: Melbourne will be looking to go back-to-back after breaking through for its first premiership in Season 7.

At the other end of the ladder, it’s hard to see expansion teams Sydney or Hawthorn making huge inroads given their young lists.

Carlton, West Coast and GWS are also expected to continue down their rebuilding paths.

The season officially starts on September 1, with the biggest prizemoney pool the League has ever seen, rising from $623,922 to $1.1m.

ADELAIDE CROWS

CAPTAIN CHELSEA RANDALL CROWS TO CHALLENGE AGAIN

The Crows head into their eighth season led by captain Chelsea Randall as they look to embark on another premiership pursuit. Being eliminated in the 2023 preliminary final would have ignited a fire for Matthew Clarke’s team heading into the new season. A mixture of youth and established stars is the overall make-up of the Adelaide list,

which includes four All-Australians from last season – Randall, Ebony Marinoff, Anne Hatchard and Chelsea Biddell. The Crows open their season against crosstown rival Port Adelaide in a Showdown that is set to be exhilarating, with recently-departed sharpshooter Ashleigh Saint (nee Woodland) suiting up for the Power.

BRISBANE LIONS

CAPTAIN BREANNA KOENEN LIONS TO BOUNCE BACK

It seems to be the norm that the Brisbane Lions enter an AFLW season on the back of a Grand Final appearance. This time the 2021 premiers will be intent on bouncing back after losing last year’s decider to Melbourne – the third time they have gone down in the big one. Master coach

Craig Starcevich has a seasoned playing list on his hands that is primed to again challenge for the premiership. Reigning club best and fairest Emily Bates has moved to Hawthorn, but Season 7 AFLW Best and Fairest Ally Anderson remains a Lion and is ready to lead the show. ANDREW SLEVISON

CARLTON

CAPTAIN KERRYN PETERSON

NEW DAWN FOR BLUES

Carlton enters 2023 with an almost entirely different make-up after a two-win Season 7.

Mathew Buck replaces Daniel Harford as coach after a review into the club’s struggles since 2021. The Blues lost Lucy McEvoy, Natalie Plane, Serena Gibbs, Brooke Walker and Elise O’Dea in the off-season, while bringing in veteran defender Harriet Cordner and hitting the draft hard. Since being one of the four surviving teams in the cancelled 2020 season, the Blues have been in decline and will be hoping 2023 marks the turning of a new leaf.

CAPTAIN BRIANNA DAVEY FLAG IN MAGPIES’ SIGHTS

It was a brutal semi-final loss that dampened a strong year for Collingwood in Season 7. However, now under the sole leadership of Brianna Davey, the Magpies will tackle 2023 with a premiership at the forefront of their minds. The added tackling pressure from recruit Tarni White (ex-St Kilda) will boost the on-ball

unit, Eliza James will continue to be an elite forward presence and Lauren Butler will provide run and carry off the half-back flank. Despite losing inaugural captain Steph Chiocci and Jaimee Lambert to the Saints in the off-season, Davey will lead a talented line-up this season.

Essendon is back for a second season after completing a credible inaugural campaign in 2022. After just missing finals action in their first year, the Bombers will be hoping to climb into the top eight under coach Natalie Wood. Star Madi Prespakis will be hoping to go to another level, while former Hockeyroo Georgia Nanscawen will also be one to watch. Also look out for Georgia Gee, who looms as one of her team’s most important players. Bonnie Toogood and Stephanie Cain will continue to lead the club’s AFLW program for the 2023 season, with the pair re-appointed as co-captains

CAPTAIN MEGHAN McDONALD HEARTBREAK TO SPUR CATS

Geelong will be a fascinating watch in 2023 after coming off a promising year in 2022. The Cats made the finals for just the second time since joining the AFLW in 2019, but suffered a heartbreaking two-point loss to North Melbourne in the elimination final. But they have boosted their playing stocks ahead of the new season, drafting former No. 1 pick

Erin Hoare in the Supplementary Draft. Geelong also picked up Irish duo Aishling Moloney and Anna-Rose Kennedy as Other Sport Rookie signings. All-Australians

Georgie Prespakis, Chloe Scheer and Amy McDonald return along with regulars Nina Morrison, Chantel Emonson, Rebecca Webster and Shelley Scott

CAPTAIN ALICIA EVA TAKING THE NEXT STEP

The Giants are aiming to improve on their first season under new coach Cameron Bernasconi, when they finished 11th. GWS made changes during the off-season with Georgie Fowler, Casidhe Simmons and Emily Goodsir not offered contracts. Tanya Hetherington and Brid Stack have also called time on their careers and Jess Allan has been traded home to Adelaide. Alicia Eva will lead the Giants for a fifth successive year, supported by a new leadership group comprising Rebecca Beeson, Katherine Smith, Georgia Garnett and Tarni Evans. They will be supported by Alyce Parker and Pepa Randall, who return to the leadership group.

HAWTHORN

CAPTAIN TILLY LUCAS-RODD

STEADY BUILD FOR HAWKS

Hawthorn is in the midst of a slow and deliberate list build with a plan for sustained success, rather than the sugar hit that comes with a quick rise up the ladder. Still, the Hawks were aggressive during the player movement period and made the competition take notice with the signing of star Brisbane Lions duo Emily Bates and Greta Bodey.

BRIGHT FUTURE:

Midfielder Jasmine Fleming is one of the most exciting young players in the game.

Entering their second season in the competition, a finals berth is unlikely for Bec Goddard’s team, but hopes of bettering last year’s promising three-win debut season lie with their boom recruits as well as captain and best and fairest winner Tilly Lucas-Rodd, Aileen Gilroy and exciting midfielder

MELBOURNE

CAPTAIN KATE HORE

AIMING FOR MORE GLORY

Melbourne will enter the new season of the AFLW in rare air – the first time the Demons have been recognised as the reigning premiers. After being one of the best teams in the League for several years, their task of maintaining that status will now be extra difficult due to the loss of club champion Daisy Pearce and the determination of the rest of the competition to beat them. However, others such as Libby Birch, Tayla Harris, Paxy Paxman and new captain Kate Hore should (just like last year) be able to steady the ship and potentially lead them to a second flag.

NORTH MELBOURNE

CAPTAIN EMMA KEARNEY ROOS STILL

CHASING GLORY

Despite coming into the competition with a stacked list, North Melbourne has not quite put it all together. The Kangaroos boast stars across all lines, including Emma Kearney, Jasmine Garner, Jenna Bruton, Emma King and Ash Riddell. They finished eighth last season with six wins and a draw, but did well to progress to the preliminary final where they lost to eventual premier Melbourne. North scored a thrilling two-point win over Geelong in the elimination final and downed Richmond by 36 points in the semi-final. Kate Shierlaw will be a welcome addition inside 50 and the key forward could give the Roos the missing piece for premiership success.

PORT ADELAIDE

CAPTAIN ERIN PHILLIPS POWER PRIMED TO RISE

While Port Adelaide managed only one win in its inaugural AFLW season, there is plenty to like about the young team in 2023. The Power’s midfield was a strong point, headed by skipper Erin Phillips, and will only continue to improve as young guns such as best and fairest and Rising Star winner Hannah Ewings

put another pre-season behind them. Hitting the scoreboard was a problem, but an injury-free Gemma Houghton and crosstown recruit Ashleigh Saint (nee Woodland) should help turn things around. The Power’s balance of exciting youth and reliable veterans could very well see them shoot up the ladder.

CAPTAIN KATIE BRENNAN TIGERS OUT TO ATONE

Astraight-sets exit was a bitter way to end what was Richmond’s best season, finishing in the top four for the first time. The young playing group will have to adjust its attack, with Season 7’s leading goalkicker Courtney Wakefield retiring. The Tigers’ new-look forward line will feature recruits Caitlin Greiser

and Courtney Jones, joining from the Saints and Suns respectively, while there is huge pressure on skipper Katie Brennan to stay fit. Monique Conti continues to work towards winning a League MVP, while All-Australian Eilish Sheerin will look to back up her breakout season off half-back.

ST KILDA

CAPTAIN HANNAH PRIEST SAINTS CAN SPRING SURPRISE

St Kilda will enter 2023 determined to improve after a disappointing Season 7 led to a 13th-placed finish. Clara Fitzpatrick and Kate Shierlaw will be missed, but a busy off-season, paired with the return of key players from injury, leaves the Saints optimistic. A healthy Erin McKinnon, Bec Ott, Georgia Patrikios and Tyanna Smith will be important inclusions for the team’s structure, while the addition of former Collingwood teammates Steph Chiocci and Jaimee Lambert creates some versatility. Although development should still be the focus in 2023, the Saints have the talent to surprise if they can remain injury-free.

CO-CAPTAINS LUCY McEVOY / CHLOE MOLLOY RINGING THE

CHANGES

Adifficult winless first season for the Swans has seen them make some big moves as they aim to move off the bottom of the ladder. The off-season was headlined by two enormous signings, former top three picks Chloe Molloy and Lucy McEvoy, who have immediately been appointed co-captains and will improve

PROMISING

Sydney’s list drastically. All eyes will be on young prodigy Montana Ham as she enters her second season, while inaugural club champion Cynthia Hamilton will relish more midfield time after a fine debut season. Youngsters Paige Sheppard and Ella Heads loom as key figures as Sydney chases its first AFLW win.

POSITIVE SIGNS FOR SWANS

The Sydney Swans AFLW team enters its second season in the competition with plenty of hope and optimism.

There have been several changes to the Swans on and off the field during the offseason, the biggest being the newly-opened Sydney Swans HQ based in the Moore Park district.

The new centre boasts an indoor training field, state-ofthe-art gym and auditoriums.

“It makes a big difference,” coach Scott Gowans said.

“It helps with everything from recovery, to getting chef’s meals and a beautiful indoor field where we can watch vision and step through things.

“It makes a massive difference to learning.”

The Swans have also acquired former Collingwood

star Chloe Molloy, who has been named co-captain ahead of donning the red and white guernsey.

Molloy will share the captaincy duties with Lucy McEvoy, who joins the squad from Carlton.

“They’ll bring some stability and take the pressure off the other players,” Gowans said.

“They are both extraordinary players, great off-field leaders and Molloy and McEvoy will galvanise the girls.”

Another addition to the Swans line-up for 2023 is midfielder Laura Gardiner, who has joined the team from Geelong.

Gowans has tipped Gardiner to have a breakout campaign.

“I think she’ll surprise a lot of people,” he said.

“She’ll get the opportunity to play more midfield minutes, which she didn’t get at Geelong.

She’ll be a surprise packet to a lot of rival clubs.”

The Swans were winless in their debut season and, while an inaugural victory is on their minds, Gowans was adamant that year two was a continuation of laying the platform for a successful club.

“We want to focus on becoming really good and build something,” he said.

“The focus is not actually on the first win, but it’s the gap between the first and the second.

“If we win a game and then win one the next week or the week after, we know we are on the right path.

“If you win one and lose the next seven, you know you have a lot of work to do.

“If we can become competitive, that’s the first step of the journey of being a strong team for a long period of time.”

Bing Lee is a proud sponsor of the Sydney Swans AFLW team and will be cheering on the red and the white for the first game of the season on September 3 at North Sydney Oval against the GWS Giants.

BRING IT ON: The Swans are looking forward to their second season in the AFLW under coach Scott Gowans.

WEST COAST EAGLES

CAPTAIN EMMA SWANSON EAGLES HAVE THE BELIEF

West Coast enters 2023 after a year to forget in Season 7, recording only two wins and finishing 16th. Despite delisting four players, the Eagles have been fortunate to not lose others to retirement or trades.

Versatile forward Shanae Davison will be making her return after sitting out most of last year with an ACL injury. Despite winning only two games, the Eagles were competitive but just couldn’t finish off the way they would have liked. There is a huge belief they can continue to improve and become a force in 2023.

2021 club champion and young gun Bella Lewis has been appointed vice-captain.

CAPTAIN ELLIE BLACKBURN PROMISING SIGNS FOR DOGS

Nathan Burke’s Bulldogs enter 2023 with plenty of promise following a rollercoaster 2022 Season 7 which saw them finish eighth. Premiership star Ellie Blackburn will again lead the Bulldogs into a season full of excitement and hope. There is an array of talent on the Bulldogs’ list, headlined by

key defender Katie Lynch, who earned her maiden All-Australian selection last season. Former No. 1 pick Gabby Newton had a fantastic 2022 Season 7 campaign in her new role as a key forward following multiple shoulder reconstructions and is set to take another step.
