FAFL 360: Pre-Season 2024
It certainly feels like it's been a long time but we're back for Season 2024 and like always, we reset the ladder. Everyone is back at Square One. All 14 teams have a chance of lifting up the Premiership Cup but only one can by the end of the season.
Like all off-seasons, Some old faces have retired, New faces have been drafted, Familiar players have moved and are wearing a new uniform in 2024, Some coaches have either left or been sacked while new coaches leap into the hot seat.
Through all of that, many others have got on with just another Pre-Season after either ending their season in glory or falling short.
It's good to be back and the players have shaken off the off-season rust and are ready to play some footy. So say hello to FAFL Season 2024. The league’s 50th season. Trust me, it's going to be it's biggest.
2024 Season Preview:
Adelaide:
Besides one big acquisition over the off-season, It’s been business as usual at Adelaide and considering how 2023 went, that’s not a bad thing.
Tarni Campbell continues on in her second year as coach and will be hoping to take Adelaide further this year. The big acquisition for Adelaide this off-season was signing Darwin Forward, Kyle Shadowolf who is hoping that his big move away from the Storm will pay off handsomely in a premiership.
With such names as Jay Samuelson on the roster too and expected to be back to their best, The Butcherbirds look like they’ll be likely contenders in Season 2024.
Brisbane:
Brisbane have been the most successful Expansion Club in the FAFL. While most expansion teams have tried to get their new teams set-up, Brisbane shot out of the starting gates and haven’t looked back.
Another Premiership last year brings their total to 2 and the Brumbies have shown that they can keep up with the rest of the pack. Most of their team is back for Season 2024 but with a lack of big name signings over the off-season, It will come down to draftees Macy Waterman, Tahlia Longhurst and Nigel Bhan if the Brumbies will be able to go back to back or slide back down the pack.
Cairns:
It’s been a very up and down road for Cairns so far. 2021 was a year to forget. Despite having 5 wins during the season, They were pipped by a fast finishing Perth to be handed the Wooden Spoon and last place on the ladder.
2022 however was a massive improvement that saw the Corals make the Finals for the first time and come within 14 points of a Grand Final berth. It seemed like 2023 was going to be much of the same until the Corals hit the halfway point of the year.
Top Spot with a 7-1-1 record turned into a 7th place finish with a 9-1-6 record and a quick exit from the finals at the hands of the Gold Coast.
2024 will be a test for Cairns and will either cement that they’re here to stay or if they still need a bit more time to truly develop their roster first…
Canberra:
A massive off-season for the team formally known as the Orange Miners…
No longer based in Orange, The team has moved to the nation’s capital in Canberra and taken on the identity of the Canberra Cockatoos. However, The Orange colour and club history remain and so does a lot of the roster.
A big off-season saw the newly relocated club splash big to gain the services of Edward Broadbent III from Hobart and Ozzie Waterhouse from Melbourne City along with drafting Paulina Hadley, Jessie Buncombe and Máximo Crespo to the team, Bolstering a team that already finished 2nd on the ladder last year.
Many expect Canberra to go far and claim Premiership No. 10 but with Ozzie Waterhouse going down with a long-term injury during Pre-Season, Time will tell if that prediction will ring true or if their hopes evaporated the moment Ozzie ruptured his achilles…
Darwin:
An off-season of change at Darwin. Out is long-time coach Travis Stephens who retired from the box after 7 years at the helm and in came Perth Coach, Hunter Ambrose to take charge in what many people called the Coaching Coup of the Century.
Ambrose was quick to make his impact at the team as Darwin found it’s replacement for Kyle Shadowolf in Jose Minelli from Melbourne City and Samir Patel from Adelaide. Joining them as new recruits are Melbourne City’s Sam Gillmeister, Gold Coast’s Jonathan Wuffski and rookies Rembrandt Downes, Fred Dale and Noah Fernsby.
While there have been question marks whether Star Ashlynn Adler will potentially leave the team, Ambrose has already shown that he’s willing to make major changes and will do what is necessary for the Storm to be competitive.
Expect them to be the big risers in 2024.
East Sydney:
East Sydney have been seen over the past few years as a team that’s on the edge of being a contender but has failed to really show it’s potential. Those years are starting to add up and people are now starting to question if this group at the Roosters will truly be able to reach the potential that everyone thought they had.
In the hot seat is Theresa Mahoney who has led the Roosters to multiple Finals appearances but hasn’t exactly been able to have the impact she would have liked. If the Roosters can finally be consistent and make their mark in September, Things should be good as gold but if the Roosters struggle again, There might be questions on whether this roster actually has what it takes and if the Roosters should simply blow up the core and try again.
Fremantle:
Youth seems to be the word of the day at Fremantle as Tyrus Huskey has culled Fremantle’s roster and focused on bringing in younger replacements for aging veterans.
Wellington Duo, Brodie Woods and Ollie Knaggs were the main signings with Hobart’s Mike Beck and Former Adelaide Premiership Player, Coutzy being the other major additions for the Panthers in Free Agency.
Combine that with their draft haul of Alexander Keys, Kwa Jun Feng and Hensen Reed. The Panthers are mainly looking to build up their next crop of Premiership stars. What that means for 2024 remains to be seen but if the Panthers are going aggressive in their quest for youth, It might be a few years yet before they’ll be back at the top of the pack.
Geelong:
If you were to think of an off-season going badly, You probably couldn’t think of a much worse off-season than what Geelong have had.
Losing major stars in Free Agency, Failing to get draft picks in on time and on top of that, The coach quitting and the board being rolled.. Geelong had completely imploded… And any hopes of the team doing well this year had very much been dashed…
Enter New Coach, Butch Carver. A Former Orange and Werribee Player who had been coaching the Wagga Wagga junior team in the Sydney FAFL competition. Carver has brought a new culture to the Rush and if Pre-Season is anything to go by, It might just have turned over a new leaf for the team.
While their roster is weaker than last year and has some glaring holes in places, Carver might just be setting up the team that Geelong have been wanting since they moved from Werribee all those years ago. They’ll certainly be an interesting team to keep an eye on this season.
Gold Coast:
Ever the consistent team of excellence in the FAFL, It was not that long ago that Gold Coast were considered the bottom of the food chain. Scraping and clawing for any sort of success or relevance. That all changed with the hiring of Bryan Shadowolf before the 2015 season.
2 Premierships and many finals appearances since has turned this battling minnow into a top powerhouse of the league.
The team itself went hard in Free Agency with Geelong’s Aelita Sallander and Melbourne City’s Mikhail Flowers-Martin being the big names brought in. Add in the team’s reliable drafting history and don’t be surprised if the Dragons have yet another crack at the Premiership Cup in Season 2024.
Hobart:
The last few years for Hobart have been tough to say the least. After finally making it to Finals for the first time since 2014 in 2021, Everything seemed to implode after Akamai Kohola refused to re-sign with the team and left to join Perth.
A last place finish in 2022 and a 13th out of 14th finish in 2023 called time on Charles Stonewell’s coaching career with a clean sweep occurring at the Wolves.
In was brought in former Premiership Player for the team, Amelia Beckett to right the ship and thanks to a good first impression, She was able to lure many Free Agents to the team which included Fremantle’s Barney Bass, Geelong’s Jeremy Chadwick, Wellington’s Tina Wray, Darwin’s Sherman Andrews and East Sydney’s Rudolph Kelly.
These names should give the Wolves a much needed boost in 2024 and with a team hungry to finally get off the bottom and into a period of sustained success, The Wolves might be ready to finally howl again and make themselves a feared force in the FAFL once more.
Melbourne:
It really seemed like Melbourne had fallen off a cliff last year with age finally catching up with the team. It seemed like the days of deep finals runs and a chance at a Premiership were finally over and that put long time coach, William Kembira in a pickle…
Do they blow up the team and go young or Bolster the team up with Free Agents and give it another crack hoping it was just an off-year?
Kembira did the latter and despite drafting well with Stefon McKee, Ed Tanaka II and Hunter Valentine being decent pick-ups, The main talk around the Hammerheads was the contingent of 4 from Fremantle who were brought in.
Edward Clayton, Michael Gouda, Wayne De-Grandi and Erica Lunarborn were all poached from the Panthers with Young Midfielder, Brittany Darby also joining them from the Gold Coast.
A lot of hopes for Melbourne looked to be pinned on this group and time will tell if it was a masterstroke or if this will dig the hole even deeper for the team in the years to come.
Melbourne City:
Last Season for Melbourne City can be best described as a disaster. Only 4 wins in 16 games showed just how lacking the team was in cohesion and perhaps talent. It was safe to say that the Mariners were not going to take these results lightly…
First to go was Gina Oakley. Her first year at the helm would turn out to be her only as the Mariners were quick to bring in Markus Sven Gustavsson as coach and the team itself would go after top talent during the Off-season.
Luring Geelong’s Beatrice Warrior and Hobart’s Lexie Strickland while also drafting two of the most highly rated Rookies in Bronte Nye and Carson Lachlan has seen the Mariners roster bolstered up a fair bit.
However, The true challenge will be on the field and if they can get their best talent from last year to gel with their new acquisitions, They might be on the path to finally have some sustained success. But if things go as well as they did last year, maybe the club culture will finally come into question and “The Greatest Club Outside The FAFL” will become “The Little Club In The FAFL Who Can't”...
Perth:
It was a Cinderella story for Perth last season. A team that struggled to even win just Three Years Earlier was now beating the best the league had to offer. They were pulling upset after upset, week after week and it looked like for a bit that the Ospreys might just have been able to pull off the seemingly impossible as they booked their ticket to the Grand Final…
However, the clock seemed to strike midnight as the team entered onto the MCG on Grand Final Day and they were comprehensively beaten by the Brisbane Brumbies, The same team they had beaten by 2 points three weeks prior…
It was a sad end to what had been a magical season and things were about to become even sadder.
Not long after the end of the season, Hunter Ambrose announced that he was leaving the team to go coach Darwin and a vacant hole was left where the leader of the rise had once sat… However, In the distance came another saviour. Japanese Energy Drink Company, Rising Sun Energy bought a controlling stake in the team and are committed to making the Ospreys the best they can be.
Kintama Sōta was announced as Ambrose’s replacement and the Ospreys worked to re-sign their stars and sign up new talent in Kerry Hopkins and Stacy Samuels to the team. The team would also draft Jordan Shiramine, Thomas Kipkirui and Tai Nacua to round out the roster.
The team has proven that it can be a contender and a giant killer but with the change in coach and a turbulent off-season, Season 2024 will show us if Perth are truly here to stay or if they’re just another One-Season Wonder…
Wellington:
It’s certainly been an eventful off-season for the Vipers. Inaugural coach Kelli Jennings stepped down not long after the loss to Brisbane in the Preliminary Final and after a long search for a coach, Hitch Merchant was announced as the new coach of Wellington with the Daddy Long-Legs Spider bringing a very defensive gameplan to the Vipers.
The talent is no question for the Vipers as they’ve retained all of their main core over the off-season while also bolstering their ranks with Rookies Veynoce Literal, Pete Nicholls and Tracy Alyx in the Draft but time will tell if they can handle the new gameplan as it will focus on endurance, defensive pressure and low scoring.
If they can handle the new gameplan, We might just be seeing the rise of a new era of how the game is played but if the Vipers can’t get the job done, There might be questions from their stars on whether they’ll want to stick around.
