I know Hosko had major surgery on her hamstring in the off season

But the other 2 are a concern. Soft tissue injuries early in an11 game season can derail things pretty quickly especially when one of them is in your top 5 players (Sheerin)

If that's our "gameplan" then hello bottom side in the AFLW as well. That was woeful.

  Our defending was woeful. And our ball movement is rubbish.
