Besides Howarth all players removed to leave will be 32 and older at the start of next season. So I guess better to cash in now before they aren’t worth anything
Kalinda, Ahrens, Drennan, Keaney.
Taxi for Teflon McLarty.
Everyone should be accountable.

Nothing that isn't replaceable imo.

Player movement is much bigger in AFLW. Contracts are shorter as well, so pay and contract length are large factors. Any club that can offer more and/or longer will appeal to those wanting to prolong their careers or get in a little more money. Can’t blame anyone for that.
We will be the target of clubs, but are targeting clubs too (having been linked to some quality players already). Only so much cap space.
Howarth is coming of an ACL (and with the length of a season in AFLW, may not play much in 2024). Could be offered a longer deal elsewhere that we weren’t willing to match. She was a fav of mine, so it sucks obviously.
Drennan and Keaney have been big members for our club, but also in the backend of their careers. It’s a lot of leadership out the door too, but ultimately we will get younger players in to replace them long term (e.g linked to Demons defender for Keaney and our own draftee gun for Drennan’s position).
Or maybe there is something deeper wrong with the club… I do love to buy into conspiracies! But for me, as long as our good young players stay (you know, the ones who top the BnF) I’m happy.

Hardly a loss when you pick up someone who wants to be here and lose someone who doesn't
For Kalinda to leave us for a fringe player and a late pick is gross. Teflon McLarty needs to go.
Losing more trades

Jen, do you know if there is still top tier of players (with limited number of players per team) with top salaries? I suspect most of these moves are to earn more money late in career. Or could be some good jobs opportunities including post career.
I have heard on the grapevine that one of our much loved players was told she was no longer part of the club’s future plans. Pretty poor form by the Club if true. 
Very trusty source.

So, who is she? Otherwise, why the post?

Sack Teflon McLarty
Kindy
That’s just outrageous that they’ve done that to such a fine player, good person, a local girl who loves the club and a pioneer.
Teflon McLarty is more of a disaster than I thought which is really something.
If the same garbage was happening with the men’s list we’d be in nuclear meltdown.
Finals was a bandaid covering issues and a tad of incompetence. I agree Fiona needs to go.

This is more melty than the men's trade period.
