Play Nice AFL Womens - General Discussion

[CrowdedHouse]

What time does the trade period close tomorrow?

Thought I saw it reported as 2pm Thursday.

 

[Tandy]

Ideally, AFLW progresses to the point that credits in the bank as a coach at AFLW level is seen as a credit at AFL level.

I doubt it is at the moment, but hopefully Daisy changes that.

Bec Goddard was looking like she could have been the one to change it but I think she has gone as far as she is capable as a coach. Probably knew it too which is fine. At the very least it'll give the women's program a boost over West. Generate a bit more interest than otherwise. Maybe sign a few decent players over the next couple of seasons.

I reckon Emma Kearney will be the one to make the transition

Currently our development coach in the men’s space whilst still playing

Good call. Agree with that.

Don't count out Alicia Eva. Has been coaching in the male space since before AFLW started, and had been intending to quit playing to concentrate on a career in coaching before AFLW came along.

GWS VFL assistant coach, AFL development coach.

Just over 1 hour to go

Seems like a lot of deals still to be done

I'll take a bet and say they've all been done (i.e. Lamb to Port, Gay to Essendon), just the AFL spacing out the stories and creating the illusion of "last minute drama/deals".

 

[Vacuous Space]

Riley Beveridge reporting it's going to be an 11-club deal that will tie up all the loose ends. The question is, how many of these deals could have been done independently and are being sticky-taped together for shock factor to maximise engagement.

I wish it was a hard 2pm deadline and the deal fell over

[CURVE]

41 players were traded, and every club had at least one player join or leave this trade period.

The Dogs were the busiest, followed by the Lions and Suns.

Long term, I think the Dogs did well, but I suspect they struggle next year.

what time is the draft on monday?

7pm* AEDT

*The time it airs on the AFL website, but like the previous couple of AFLW drafts, actually conducted earlier in the day.

Why do they delay? should just live stream

Why do they delay? should just live stream

Combination of a few things.

2021 (IIRC?) it was due to Covid - social distancing, state border restrictions, etc

After that, because the AFLW draft is not on Fox Footy and not a big ratings draw, it made no sense to spend the dollars on setting up a live on-site broadcast, with all 18 clubs present, and the possible 1st Round picks (and parents) flown in for the occasion.

Much cheaper to run the draft off-camera, then record via zoom a cross with a few players. It also allows research on any surprise picks (see the draft when Imarah Cameron out of WA was drafted and the "experts" had no clue who she was - the joys of a live broadcast).

Now, the broadcast itself could be "live", with throws to the recorded interviews, but most likely probably recorded late afternoon, and then played back like how a YouTube "Premiere" works.

Just as long as they don't make the mistake like they did in 2021 with the VFL/VFLW awards, where you could fast forward, skip the whole virtual presentation and count, and discover the winners!

I guess I must've imagined the live on-site broadcast for the 2022 draft. Wakfer twins, anybody?

When is it?​

The draft will be held on Monday December 18 from 7pm AEST.

How can I watch it?​

It will be broadcast nationally on the AFL and AFLW websites and apps from 7:00pm AEDT on Monday, December 18.

How will clubs lodge their selections?​

Clubs will all be at Marvel Stadium to submit their picks live.

So it will be held at 7pm AEST, and broadcast an hour earlier at 7pm AEDT. Crystal clear!

Not sure what the sense was in lions giving up pick 12 when we have only 2 list spots

SUPER MEGA TRADE: 11-club, 12-player deal blows open Trade Period

An unprecedentedly large AFLW trade has seen 12 players and 24 picks move between 11 clubs

www.afl.com.au

Brisbane was the final side to approve the trade and had been seen by the other 10 clubs involved as being the sticking point in negotiations, given it would ultimately trade out pick No.12 for later selections as part of the discussions.

However, in the knowledge it would have Northern Academy players to match bids on ahead of next Monday night's AFLW draft, Brisbane eventually accepted the proposal and the League's officials gave the deal the green light shortly after.

There can still be further delistings as well.

Did they backflip on min selections per club this year?

In an earlier article they mentioned only 2 picks min which made sense as the aflw has reduced list sizes

But today they are saying 3 min (only 1 needs to be via the draft the rest can be undrafted free agents)

Hi All

Has anyone done a mock draft of the AFLW draft for Monday night? If so, can you please share? I haven't seen anything on the internet.

But today they are saying 3 min (only 1 needs to be via the draft the rest can be undrafted free agents)

I'm glad I'm not going nuts. I swear I read that this morning, except when I read it, it said a minimum of three with at least 2 via the draft.

Now it's saying:

What picks does my team have?​

Each club must take a minimum two picks to the draft, and at least two players must be taken via the draft. After that, there is an option to pass on one or two of the club's final selections to sign an undrafted free agent, or someone who nominated for the draft in another state but were not selected. Should a club want to take two players as undrafted free agents, they must take a minimum of four picks to the draft.

I think Gemma is struggling to get the correct details off the work experience kid at AFL House.
