Alarm bells always go off when it comes to a kid that dominated under 16s but was much quieter in the under 18s. You never know if they had grown more younger, if it's due to attitude or if there were outside circumstances that caused the drop.

I'd personally just avoid any player in that situation to avoid the question.

Not surprised, they got most of their list coming into the competition for free, many played in this years premiership. Laura Kane played for Norf, did she not, maybe Francis Burke was referring to her, when he talked about shite sandwich this pioneering club got handed trading our players when Norf came in, and in true Norf form trying to claim the AFLW was their innovation.

Gotta give the pissants something back….they created Friday night football and then lost it remember

A little about the club towards the end of the Article

Baker-West still available.

Getting nervous now.

 

[X_box_X]

If the Bombers taken Evie Cowcher, I reckon Baker-West slides to us.

We'd be very stiff for Baker-West and Maggie Johnstone to go with the two picks immediately prior to ours.

 

[X_box_X]

Maggie Johnstone has enormous upside. A draft bolter.

Good pick for Essendon.

 

[X_box_X]

Geelong have taken Cowcher. Interesting cause I thought Essendon would have taken her with Geelong taking Johnstone but it was the opposite.

We're up next.

Does Dan the Man Fisher take the ball magnet Baker-West?

 

[X_box_X]

We're 13 picks into the draft and GCS have already taken 16 players.

 

[X_box_X]

Whattt???

We've taken a Japanese player with pick 14.

[weltschmerz]

Welcome Mizuki!

She has a twin who's a KPF and rated later in the draft. I wonder if we're hoping to match them up.

 

[MYOB]

How the hell has Baker West not been taken yet, and more importantly, why did we not pick her

At this rate, she might be available at our next pick!

We now steer clear of players with hyphenated surnames

 

[MYOB]

Is that pick 37

 

[X_box_X]

It must be the Bo Callahan theory.

Time to turn the coverage off

Competitive beast by the sound of it. Could be a great pairing with Wilcox.

This was actually the most disappointing aspect to me. I went to every one of our AFLW games in VIC this year, and she was barely visible. Post-match, when all the non-playing members of the squad were mingling with fans or doing laps, Weston-Turner was either nowhere to be seen or was on the way out of the ground.

Okay she might not be that sociable, but to me there was always a hint of entitlement, maybe the #1 pick got to her, who knows, but certainly of late, her arrogance has been off the charts.

I also seem to recall, during one of the games this year, TV cameras showing her sulking and sitting away from everybody.

EDIT: whoops, never mind, that was the captain...

Think I got mixed up. Weston-Turner was shown later on, sitting among fellow non-playing members of the squad and mingling with fans while showing team spirit...

Weston-Turner’s clearly on good terms with the other players. Whatever the issue was, it wasn’t that.

No doubt Berry being the captain and a coach herself she would have had a job to do on the night and wanted to watch the game closely. Makes perfect sense she wasn't mingling with players. The way you show team spirit is how you act on the track. Anyone can ham it up in the stands. If someone is going to piss off at the first available opportunity it probably says their team spirit wasn't where it should've been.

 

[weltschmerz]

Really good to see Woodley as part of the welcome wagon. She seems like a heart and soul player.
