With the season ending thought it would be good to post contract status updates as they come up. List above is as far as I know so may contain errors. Will adjust once contract status is confirmed.

Beruldsen delisted?

Hosking announced her re-signing herself, nothing from the club.

Thanks for that. Is that a typical Club list landscape - 25 of 32 players with current year expirations? It seems a little extraordinary and somewhat risky to me. Do other Club lists look like this?

I think it’s reasonably typical in AFLW space. Multi year contracts only came in with the last CBA in late 2023 so they’ve only pretty much been offered from 2024 onwards, mainly reserved for the guns of the comp or to sway a player to swap clubs given the restrictions on $$. I think most clubs want to maintain reasonable about of flexibility. Expect more of it moving forward.

And still people complain on here about losing Sheerin - with a list contract profile like that, we'll have around 80% of our list available at the end of every season.....
