The oval ball can be a frustrating at times!

Match result: The Adelaide Crows have won their first game of the AFLW season, leaving the Carlton Blues at the bottom of the table after a 13-point win at Ikon Park.
Round 1 of the 2019 AFL Women’s season is in the books, and if that was anything to go by, then Round 2 promises to be just as exciting.
Match result: The Western Bulldogs have escaped with a one-point win in a low-scoring an inaccurate match against the Adelaide Crows.
“If they win this game it’s been pinched” groaned a despondent Peter McKenna on a cold bleak Adelaide night in Queen’s Birthday eve 1991, moments before Rod Jameson drove a nail into the old VFL.
Current skipper Taylor Walker and Rory Sloane will co-captain Adelaide, the first time the AFL club has split the key leadership role.
Coming off a heartbreaking end to their 2017 campaign that saw them lose the Grand Final to a rampant Richmond, the Adelaide Crows entered 2018 looking to leave no stone unturned in their quest for their third flag.
After being outplayed for most of the match, the Western Bulldogs have escaped with a thrilling one-point victory in their AFLW season opener against a very wasteful Adelaide at Norwood Oval.

The season of player movement is almost over and the draft is just around the corner.
‘Boy, oh, boy, wowee!’ to quote Brian Taylor. My 2018 predictions have got off to an exhilarating start, with a couple of upsets and shocks to start the season.
My Round 2 predictions proved to have some close exciting games along with an upset or two.
Like Port Adelaide (who I looked at in my last analysis), cross-town rival Adelaide looms as one of the clubs most likely to shape this year’s draft order, with picks 8, 13, 16, and 21.
With the home-and-away season, the finals series, and the trade period all completed, it’s time to do not only a review of each club’s 2018 season (complete with expectation comparisons), but the expectations for the coming 2019 campaign.

Mitch McGovern’s manager Colin Young has officially announced that his client Mitch McGovern has chosen the Carlton Football Club as his destination in this upcoming trade period.
The AFL trade period is fast approaching and looks set to be the biggest and busiest yet. As such, I’ve put together a club-by-club guide on who’s coming in, who’s going out, and what the deals might look like.
