The link I posted a page or two back mentions that we've been compensated with 3 additional first round picks from the AFL for the loss of interstate.I'm not up on all the drafting rules for the AFLW re next seasons expansion clubs, do they get first crack at any young talent coming through eg. pre draft or extra early selections in the ND ah la Giants/Suns when they came in?
Media opportunities is what I'd heardShe's been doing some media work lately; perhaps there's an offer in Melbourne that appeals? She's also a teacher, maybe there's a new school job on offer too?
You're possibly right re the money, but I know the Lions girls still train with the club year round (not to the same degree as during the AFLW season obviously) and I'm sure the others clubs would tooWhen you consider the season only goes 7 weeks, she would be in Vic 2 to 3 of those anyway and the pre season is maybe 10 weeks she could be still living in Victoria 75% of the year anyway.
Just be honest “Richmond offered me a significant pay rise and I took it”
I would actually except that rather than the excuses I have heard from the players so far.
Yup, pretty sure it was Zielke we saw doing weights under the Gabba last week.You're possibly right re the money, but I know the Lions girls still train with the club year round (not to the same degree as during the AFLW season obviously) and I'm sure the others clubs would too
Just to clarify, I wasn't shooting from the hip or coming to conclusions.I didn't say they couldn't come to their own conclusions. You can come to whatever conclusion you like but it needs to have credible sources to back it up, not just that you heard from somewhere.
The definition of a Mickey Mouse competition with zero credibility.The link I posted a page or two back mentions that we've been compensated with 3 additional first round picks from the AFL for the loss of interstate.
What a crock.
We can't draft any interstate talent unless they want to come to us. I haven't read it confirmed yet, but I assume because both the Suns and Lions now run AFLW academies, that each club will be drafting girls from our own academies almost exclusively.
We could have the 10 first draft picks or the last 10 draft picks, and we're still drafting the exact same girls.
If both QLD clubs can draft out of each others academies, it'll be ok Brisbane Lions draft Jane Doe from Tweed Heads. Jane signs a one year contract and leaves at the end of the season to return to the Gold Coasts, and we're compensated with a almost pointless draft pick.
Agreed.It could have been good but they have ****** it up big time.
Not for a while nowI believe that she works for the Lions as Greg Swann's PA.
Kate McCarthy confirms she is heading to St Kilda
Once again it comes down to what other job you can offer players which is just stuffed. Basically its just a buy a player with a job scenario. Wonder who wins out of that arrangement. No coincidence that of the newcomers in victoria the Tigers have got most of the big names.

Yep. Can't blame her at all.
That comment would apply to most AFLW players.Wasn't impressed with her form this year. Needs to kick the ball more than 20 metres and not fumble most of the time. Otherwise she'll need those after career opportunities sooner than expected.

Thats because many people are getting sick and tired of having the AFL ram it down our throats that it is an elite competition on a par with the mens game when its clearly not.The standard is improving and will continue to improve. Getting sick and tired of people going on about it all the ******* time.
