This was very informative. The bit about mature age was off the mark though. There’s absolutely no way they’ll be recruiting Steph O’Brien and co I reckon
It’s hard to tell if some of these players are pushed out or want to go. I do know Ella Smith was looking for an opportunity to play. Without ressies or opportunity to play state league some have not played a proper competitive game of footy in a long time
