Thinking about not using the full 25 signings, I wonder if we have a couple of women from other sports we're looking to sign as rookies and need the space on our list?

Big news day today. Daisy has re-signed. Nothing more needs to be said. :) The Libby Birch deal has been done. We get Birch and pick 77 in exchange for Ashleigh Guest and picks 8 & 48 going to the Doggies. Also Claudia Whitfort and pick 63 will be off to St.Kilda for picks 54 & 72...

We now re-signed Shelley Heath and Ainslie Kemp.

Yes, but one way you get that pick #1 in exchange, the other way you get nothing (or a very low pick).

Gee, I hope it doesn't happen but I can see the potential for something horrible. What if Richmond decide to offer you guys #88 (their lowest pick) for Conti, and say take it or leave it? If you leave it she goes into the draft and they take her with the #1 pick. As has been said, the AFL's...

A bit late in posting but congrats to Alicia Eva for winning the inaugural AFL Coaches Association Coaching Pathway Scholarship. https://www.aflcoaches.com.au/news/evascholarship The article mentions she was one of nine applicants. I would be fascinated to know who were the other eight. I'd...

LOL. Yes, there are always catches and usually a way around them. And I agree with your comments re Sherriff v a second rounder, but as you also say the clubs should know best. I wonder how much the Conti to Richmond deal will get in the way of the Libby Birch deal, I'm guessing the first...

My understanding is that the Dees won't be able to do this, as they have already used their second round draft pick (I'm reading Pick 24 as their second rounder). When Daisy Pearce went on the inactive list last year Melbourne called up Casey Sherriff as her replacement. Apparently they have...

We've done very well to re-sign so many, basically all, of our core team. Katherine Smith was a little down this year, she lost her starting spot in the backline and didn't really set the world on fire as a midfielder when she had the chance. I'd be much happier with her as one of our core...

If the Libby Birch deal can be done that would useful, she's a good player. Will be interesting as we've pretty much signed up all our experienced, quality players that I assume the Doggies would have been wanting as part of a trade. Could cost us a couple of draft picks if they aren't...

Dead quiet in here while many of the other team's AFLW threads are in paroxysms over trades, poaching and re-signings. I guess we've escaped most of the carnage teams like the Doggies and Brisbane have endured, perhaps says something about our team harmony and general player satisfaction...

Currently a grand total of ten WA women on lists other than Freo. As for the State of Origin idea, in 2017 on the weekend between the end of the AFL home and away season and the final series, there was a state of origin match - Victoria v the Rest of Australia. Result - Vic 17.11.113 d Allies...

I've been to many AFL matches both seasons and seen no such thing. In fact I've been to double headers where more people were watching the AFLW match.

The AFLW has been played simultaneously with the JLT both years. AFLW as curtain raisers, JLT as curtain raisers, and both separately.

Yes, lots of AFLW listed players on VFLW lists this year have played only a few games or none at all! I also considered the split AFLW season idea as a way of being able to have each team play each other twice in the 2018 season, expanding from the "play each other once" model in 2017, if the...
