Moved Thread AFLW 2023 Dec Draft 18th Dec 2023

[Aristarchus]

north could have had both top 10 tassie girls, would have been laughing after a grandfinal to get 2 top 10 picks

Any explanation why they didn't?

There are some strange nominations with the state based drafting, like wouldn't it have better for Brisbane if Evie Long nominated Queensland rather than national?

 

[PMBangers]

Desperately needs a nickname.

For Barwick I can only assume playing opportunity

Our mids are stacked

Georgia Clark not sure, we let her play in our vflw team and trained at north so it was surprising we couldn’t convince her especially as Shierlaw has 1 year max

 

[Ticky009]

Kiera Whiley (midfielder, Western Jets) heads to the Saints.

North have neglected the Tassie connection at junior level so there's little sense of identity with the Kangas for the girls, may as well just nominate nationally from their POV

She played vflw with us and trained at Arden st

We haven’t neglected her

 

[Ticky009]

And the dogs have gone for GWS Academy player Cleo Buttifant (tall defender, Giants Academy)

 

[Firewalker]

She played vflw with us and trained at Arden st

We haven’t neglected her

Can’t imagine that North Melbourne-Tasmanian Kangaroos thing will be lasting for too long though. Was the Tasmanian name even mentioned during Grand Final week?

 

[Ticky009]

An unexpected selection? Ryleigh Wotherspoon (utility/midfielder, Sherwood Districts) by the Demons

 

[weltschmerz]

Dogs did not draft the player named Ryleigh to complete the collection. Riley, Rhylee, Ryley, and Ryley across AFLM and AFLW, Ryleigh would have fit in beautifully

 

[Ticky009]

A midfielder to the Tigers - Isabel Bacon (mid/defender, Sandringham Dragons)

 

[Ticky009]

LOL - Bidney strike again

 

[weltschmerz]

Bidney

 

[Vacuous Space]

LOL - Bidney strike again

Keep it going!

 

[PMBangers]

Bidney is not exclusive to the Mens comp

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Is it just me or has the AFL site stalled on pick 10?

 

[Ticky009]

The Eagles grab - Kayley Kavanagh (midfielder, Calder Cannons)

 

[Ticky009]

Matched Sydney's bid for Evie Long (wing/forward, Lions Academy) to the Brisbane Lions

which is why we need to take advantage of it while we can, probably only another 2-3 years of it

hasnt given us much advantage so far other than mia king

 

[Ticky009]

YES!! - a forward to the Swans. Sarah Grunden (general forward, Calder Cannons)

 

[Ticky009]

And the Hawks get their first pick for the night - Mikayla Williamson (mid/defender, Dandenong Stingrays)

 

[Vacuous Space]

That's who I was hoping for at 10. I'm guessing the kicking was an issue for some of the teams in front.

 

[Ticky009]

The Cats pick a local Chantal Mason (tall forward, Geelong Falcons)

 

[Tadpole]

Port select Piper Window from Glenelg at pick 19.
