1. she grew up in western australia
2. she grew up supporting West Coast
3. West Coast wanted her and attempted to court her to play for them
hope that answers your questions hun xx
She was always a Rugby player first, and went to Qld to pursue her Rugby ambitions.
She can also pursue her secondary AFL ambitions there.
She cannot in WA.
It's a draft. If who you support dictated where you play, Roux would be an Eagle. So the Eagles missed out on her no more than Freo did sweety.

It's not a draft in this situation actually, as a second sport rookie she had the choice to sign where she wanted and she chose Brisbane.
And Freo didn't enter the race for her therefore they didn't miss out, unlike the Eagles who did, hope that clears it up for you darl xxx
Jfc Jatz. A bit sensitive perhaps? WC courted Courtney hard and she went to Brisbane to play rugby (instead of AFLW) and now will play AFLW there as well.
If Freo went hard for a player and we lost out in similar circumstances I'd say 'ouch' for us as well.
I dont know that they did though. Havent heard her name mentioned in at least 18 months. She was at the academy, but every talented young female gets invited, it was hardly a special honour for Courtney. People on BF were mentioning her name a lot, but the Eagles may have always known she was headed down the Rugby path first.
The Eagles selected Rosie Deegan last year, knowing short term she was going to focus on Basketball. That they didn't select Courtney suggests she hasn't been on their radar for 2 years or so.
Its like people are now assuming the focus will be on Dowrick, and Davison, but that might not be their intention at all, its an assumption made of not much, and them not ending up at the Eagles would be less an issue of them not getting who they wanted, and more an issue of BF collectively misreading the situation.
lol - triggered much?
The East Freo v Swans game looks a cracker. Only 3 points in it. East Freo hold on they make finals and push Claremont out. Swans win, they push to 2nd on ladder.

Crossing over: Tarnee Tester
While she achieved her dream of playing AFLW with the West Coast Eagles, Tarnee Tester is ready to keep it alive at Fremantle.

Two things that amaze me. One, how West Coast Girls is pretty incomplete and two, how Tester has got character not being bitter.Crossing over: Tarnee Tester
While she achieved her dream of playing AFLW with the West Coast Eagles, Tarnee Tester is ready to keep it alive at Fremantle.
I thought she was ok in the Derby, better than the majority of the weagles girls.

McMahon ‘lost for words’ as she keeps footy dream alive
Ann McMahon has fought against all odds to earn an AFLW contract for 2021
No major surprises with the WA invitees for the AFLW National Combine (except Nyra Anderson)... I'll be shocked if our draftees don't all come from this list.

Verrier set for a Thunderous September
FOOTBALL has always been a constant for Peel Thunder youngster Sarah Verrier. Unlike many other potential AFLW draftees who were introduced to footy later in life, Verrier has been involved in the sport for as long as she can remember. “I’ve been playing football since I was in Auskick,” Verrier...

so good to see Cain and McMahon training!
Don't know much about McMahon but adding Cain into our lineuo is a scary prospect
Could you list from best to worst?
Shanae Davison / Abbey Dowrick
Mikayla Morrison
Sarah Verrier (admittedly based on seeing her play last year as I haven't seen much of her this year)
Mikayla Hyde / Isabella Lewis
Brianna Hyde
Roisin Walsh
Maggie McLachlan
I'd be happy with any of the top 6 (sorry Brianna). And expecting we'll take 3 from that group. Was thinking Nyra Anderson was also in the mix but with us grabbing Tarnee Tester and McMahon ok to continue playing I'm not so sure anymore. Good news is we need some young mids coming through and 5 of those top 6 are midfielders (all with versatility).
Jess Low and Ella Smith are 20 year olds. I was half expecting Low to get taken last year. Both solid players but neither are going to be superstars like Davison and Dowrick could become. Sarah Wielstra is 25 and a tall (Walsh the only other one in that group) - they'd be behind our existing talls imo so doubtful we'd take either.
Thanks
Would you say West Coast doesn't have a massive advantage in the draft?
Good to hear that the top group are midfielders because I always felt we lacked depth in that area.
They get to pick first each round so they have an advantage but they also need quality talls and there are simply none in this draft. Their first pick is key. I think they need to pick Dowrick because they could build the whole forward line around her for the next decade but it must be pretty tempting for them to pick Davison given what she's shown in WAFLW this year. If WC focus on the future (not the present) they'll do ok out of this draft - could set them up really well for a few years time.
Dowrick is a small/medium forward? Can we play midfield on a part time bases?
If West Coast go Davison, then it's a no brainer with Dowrick?
