I’m happy Alex Ballard got picked up, every time I’ve seen her play I’ve thought she had what it took to be an AFLW player, good mark and very composed with the football much like her brother.Melbourne are getting busy at the trade table, having traded out four players today (Krstel Petrevski and Isabella Simmons to West Coast, Jackie Parry and Shelley Scott to Geelong) while bringing two back in (Jordan Ivey from Geelong and Charlotte Wilson from Carlton), along with a bunch of draft picks.
All quiet on the Crows front. Presumably we'll need to trade for Niamh Kelly sometime soon?
Meanwhile Port have picked up a Ballard of their own but no relation to ours as far as I can tell. She is related to Charlie Ballard from Gold Coast though. They also took some ruck from the VFLW. They've had quite a few interstate signings so far! It will be interesting to see how many of them stick around.
