Does this signify that she's not sold on joining Carlton?
I know we can still match bids but she's increased the number of teams who can bid.
Maybe we haven't committed to taking her so she's making sure of it.

Hopefully not an issue of wanting to come to Carlton or not, but I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference. Given her talent level she'd probably only be set to eat up our 2nd or 3rd pick anyway.
This maybe just solidifies it as the 2nd pick?

Thought Mua's been great for us?
"However, popular defender Mua Laloifi is set to part ways with the club and has attracted interest from the Western Bulldogs and Sydney, among others, after being told she would not be offered a new contract to stay at Ikon Park."

Article on the AFL website that the club is parting ways with Laloifi (bit of a surprise) after not offering her a contract for next season, Bulldogs and Sydney are both interested…

What an odd decision. I always thought she was among our most reliable defenders.Thought Mua's been great for us?

both from a performance and from a culture perspective this seems off.
That makes me sad. Every player I like moves on
I can understand the logic around moving Mua on, but it will hurt many. Clearly short term pain for long term gain is the strategy. Kez and H along with smaller Gab remain as the experienced nucleus as the develop the youngsters around them. I join the chorus of those sad to see Mua leave, but there is logic.
Celine Moody is a great target. We clearly want her sister playing more forward and Jess Good is no spring chicken despite just coming in to her own as a player. We are still bringing in mature depth from the look of things, while continuing to add to our youth.
Thinking we have a clear long term list strategy rather than what appeared a quite haphazard approach until recently. Plenty of quality youngsters already demand a balanced approach to recruitment, Duursma if an athlete like her brothers, looks a good target with a few games under her belt.
Fingers crossed for Maddy Guerin to get back on the park to complement Hill, McKay, Sherar and Skepper. Fitzpatrick will be a big loss after an impressive debut season, hopefully she is keen to continue her career along with Finn who “grew” with experience.
Edit: Observation suggests Mua might be having some (perhaps chronic) injury issues.

We’ve been linked to Ahrens from GC as well.
With the players we’re trading in, Beatty and Guerin to add back to the main list, and the upcoming draft - with only two confirmed departures so far (McWilliams and Laloifi), likely there may be more tough calls to come

She is rated top 30 by rookiemecentral but I don't know exactly where. Her bio and attributes certainly stack up well.

Mua is 30 and had some injury issues this year. Hopefully we are moving to having genuine tall defenders who can run and direct traffic. We do tend to struggle against decent forwards.

Their updated guide has her 30-50, so you have to assume she is sliding, and that could also be why she's nominated herself for the national pool: no point excluding 8 other chances to get drafted somewhere in the late rounds.
EDIT: sorry it's 30-50 or 20-40 depending on where you look, but that's suggestive of her being late 2nd round, which means we can match with a 3rd round pick.

3, 12, 15, 25 in Victorian Pool not allowing for those who have nominated nationally.
Apparently about 70% of draftees have nominated nationally, which really opens things up.

Interesting. There are quite a few highly rated interstate players this year.
I'm liking Kristy-Lee Western-Turner for our first pick. A tall with that pace and athleticism.
Seems like we want to play Moody forward though so we are more likely looking at a midfielder.

The Dogs are keen on Weston and have pick 1, but she may make it past them, the only problem is she's nominated herself nationally.
FWIW, I would pick her regardless of the Moody twins situation.
B&F tonight. The awards so far…
Third place to Mimi Hill
