Success for Jessica Wuetschner, Emma Humphries and Ellyse Gamble in first AFL women’s draft

TASMANIA has exceeded expectations in the first AFL women’s draft, with four local players making the cut.

Wuetschner, formerly of Clarence, was the first Tasmanian drafted when Brisbane selected her with pick 34 in the fifth round.

Dream comes true as four Tasmanian women make first national AFL draft

Former Clarence player Jess Wuetschner was the first Tasmanian picked at number 34 by Brisbane.

Jess Wuetschner starred at Clarence, but moved to Western Australia to play for East Fremantle to build her draft profile.

She was in talks with Brisbane before the draft, but the mid-fielder said her selection was not a sure thing.

"To say my heart was beating at a million miles an hour was an understatement, but once my name got called I was able to relax and watch everyone else," she said.

Wuetschner was proud to make history as the first Tasmanian selected and said the draft came sooner than expected.

"So for it to be happening next year in 2017, giving us older people a bit of a look into a longer career and hopefully pave the way for the rest of the juniors coming through."

Jessica Wuetschner tells why it's not easy being a female footballer

I HAVE played football for eight years, not counting the weekends of running around on the field at halftime for 20 years in Tasmania trying to prove that I can play, too.

Football is my life. I’ve planned around it for a long time, especially the past three years with East Fremantle in the WAWFL, Western Australia’s premier women’s football competition.

The Brisbane Lions have finalised paperwork with the AFL today to secure nine of their AFL Women's players who have re-signed with the Club.

The Club has also retained grand final players Brittany Gibson, Breanna Koenen, Tahlia Randall, Jamie Stanton, Sharni Webb, Jessica Wuetschner and Alexandra Anderson.

Gibson and Weutschner, both recruited from Tasmania, have relocated to Brisbane and are playing for Coorparoo in the QWAFL during the off-season.

Is Woosh now officially gone?? Not to play at Port I hope...

 

[CarterS]

Devastating! Always my favourite player.

No, it was a de-listing, as Woosh hardly played this year (but did train with the group) and was not quite there on the mental health side of things (to play), still suffering the affects of when she was struck by lightning.

I wonder if she'll get an offer from down the road maybe or of she's got something lined up off field with us?

I'm hoping she gets an off field role with the club. It'd be a huge shame to lose her.

Based on her partners comments on the clubs Instagram post about it there might be a bit of resentment between the parties...

There is a certain irony in posting on a public forum unprompted that you're keeping your mouth shut.

As well as a cryptic emoji response to someone asking if it was mental health related.

We delisted Woosh.

She was free to sign with whoever she wanted.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Whoosh is cooked. Could barely move this year

 

[iBeng]

Honestly IF we lose another player to expansion I could see us keeping her but who would we drop from the list realistically to keep her?

Watch her kick 6 against us in a final!

For starters, they won’t be making finals.
And secondly, she won’t get near the ball when she plays against us.
