This article is a typical example of the massive connection to the academies. Take it with a grain of salt.

She would have to be up there, depending on a clubs needs of course. If a club needs more talls, Jasmine is hardly going to be their first pick, but any club looking to pick up mids or utilities would be dumb to go past her.
I think the number one pick will be a complete surprise that no one will be able to guess. Stewart is my tip to go Pick #2.
Agreed, i don't think she's #1 purely based on Cats needing fwd.
Could be, we will have to wait and see. Who's your top 5 for this draft in a power ranking Pie 4 Life ?
Well, you called it. I don't see how anybody would see this coming. Then again, she is 194cm tall!

They’ll likely pick a local probably, but hard to say as so many possibilities are tonight. Most will be either upgrades from state league clubs or ex-AFLW.
Starmer wasn't, the other two were and Venning is currently killing the SANFLW, as well as Bates in the VFLW.
Starmer and Bates were rumoured to be certainties tonight. Unless GC is planning on using its pick on one of them I’m very surprised they didn’t get picked up.
Gold Coast already seem to have a lot of good midfielders with very good height as well. Starmer as a backup to Lauren Bella could be an option maybe, but I doubt it. That being said Pie 4 Life you are a Pie man, who the hell did we just draft? Because these names haven't been shinning in VFLW level, that I know.
I believe there were at least a couple of NSW players who are now based elsewhere in this draft. Carruthers was one of them and I think there was at least one other one. EDIT: Eleri Morris - hence Arbiter's comment.
A few of the players that were picked by the team they're playing for in the VFLW haven't played yet, which makes me wonder if they were being held out to keep them away from prying eyes.
Plus Hendrie, who went to the Blues as well. I remember seeing her as a train on for the Swans last year.
I'm all up for big defenders with Livingstone and Brazill on the way out. But Selena Karlson has been MIA for some time now. Had a nomination for rising star in VFLW for 2017, got drafted to St Kilda and as you said has had massive injury problems. And then we have a girl that I've never heard of from Sydney.
At least she made Team of the Year for AFL Sydney. But we'll have to see. Sydney Swans has no faith in their own league and are happy to draft from the bottom of the barrel Victorian talent. On top of that I have little faith in Jess Burger. So many fringe players and so little big fish.
