Women's Footy AFLW Season 2025 - Turbo's Back! (Baby)

[ImperialPurple]

Riley Beveridge just said Freo have given up a future 2nd, but didn’t say what we received. So right on the buzzer we lost East and a future 2nd. I wish someone would hurry up and say what’s coming our way!!

 

[freo_leo29]

Out: East f3 63

In: GC F3, 40, North F4


So got chips back for East really

We already traded the F2 for Zanker, someone on traded it

 

[freo_leo29]

Probably have enough of her type in our midfield. Need players who are a bit more dynamic rotating through there. O'Sullivan and Miller for example.

Only issue is McCarthy, Bowers are older and East was younger but hopefully not a massive loss in the end

Need to draft some up and coming mids now

Think we have 35 and 40 in this draft

East for roughly 40, give or take, is about right I would think.
GC F3 < Freo F3
63 < North F4

East for 40-ish. Would have liked a bit more, but probably fairly close to the money.

 

[Raz]

Will be interested to see if we can get some girls with increased skills . Still not convinced we have the skills coaches and system to train new players .

 

[DragoDelph]

Wonder if there’s an element of having to let east go to keep Verrier?

(Mid time for sez

I think we are in the now. Mostly.

Gotta be in both imo

North have it won next few years anyway lol

Most challengers got weaker and north got stronger again


Can argue keeping East as depth would be more in the now than pick 40 anyway

End of the day she was uncontracted so could've walked anyway, just gotta take what ya can get I guess

 

[Big Animal]

disgaree. this isn't the men where 30K show up regardless. Need to be consistently winning to keep the fans increasing and showing up.

like Healy at 179cm and super fast. Should be something and will love hanging with all our Irish girls.

 

[freo_leo29]

35, 40 and 45 in the draft

Not terrible in the end, hopefully a decent slider with 35 and we should be going best available all draft imo

Would have liked a top 20 pick but getting Zanker in was nice


How many spots do we even have now, Irish rookie taking a spot already and then Johnson was an added one

East going was probably due to Johnson coming in now that I think about it, spots got tight and we convinced Verrier to stay

If you aren't in both then your list falls off a cliff eventually and it could be catastrophic for attendance/engagement

East's kicking lacked penetration, and showed no signs of improvement over the years.

Kauffman was recruited as an inside midfielder and we could easily rotate Stannett, Lally, Egan and West through there long term

 

[UncleChipsy]

Good question

So with Dana East, GBW delisted, Seth, Mullolland , Cregg and Ebs retiring that made 6 spots

Zanker and Johnson takes two. Is the Irish recruit is on rookie list Rookie? So four spots

Whats happening with Tighe

Are we keeping Stockwell and Indi West?

This looks like a David Walls special.

What in the hell is this trade?

Uncontracted so beggars can't be choosers

 

[apuchar]

I think we have 35, 40, 45 in the draft. Mids and small forward. Speed and skill. Not sure what will be left down there. Going to be interesting.

 

[apuchar]

The 2025 Telstra AFLW Draft will take place on the 15th of December,

Now that she’s gone, I can safely say East was never going to make it, disposal by hand and foot had a lot to be desired. 40 is a pretty good result in my book.

Can’t remember: did we take someone as a replacement for Eps? If so, then one less spot than that

Yeah it was West ( or Stockwell) both of whom are uncontacted after their top up contracts expired

 

[Big Animal]

yet Geelong does it every year

Can't compare us to destination clubs who benefit from free agency and then don't have to give equivalent compensation.

 

[freo_leo29]

Geelong are in for both...

They have some of the best drafting in the league

You disagreed about the club being in for both...
