AFLW list current contract expiry

2025
Sophie Butterworth, Keely Coyne^, Tilly Lucas-Rodd, Aileen Gilroy, Aine McDonagh, Kristy Stratton,
2024 list assumed due to no public announcements: Bates, Bodey, Sherriff and West.
2026
Kaitlyn Ashmore, Emily Everist, Hayley McLaughlin, Tamara Smith, Laura Stone
2027
Mack Eardley, Laura Elliott, Jasmine Fleming, Bridie Hipwell, Jenna Richardson, Jess Vukic, Lucy Wales, Mikayla Williamson.

^ Assumed as a DFA pickup

Others: Najwa Allen and the five draftees (Cox, Symonds, Flockart, Baba and Clottey). No update on contract length as of yet and no mention of minimum draftee contracts beyond 12 months in the AFLW CBA unlike the mens. Would assume both Allen (as an interstate trade-in ala JB/Perko in our debut season), and the five draftees all will have contracts to at least 2026. If the 2024 season is any judge, they'll announce each new contract length in the lead up to the season.

I'd assume the only survivor of those whose contracts expired in 2024, Ainslie Kemp, has also at least got another year, but again I'd expect a formal announcement in season lead up.

Hey now that the preseason is kicking off , might separate a new team thread with contact news, end of season list changes, father daughter and NGA options etc etc.

I’ll move the stickied contract post from the 2024 season thread to here but here’s a tweet to start us off for a possible pick up down the road

We're in the race for Volleyballer Caitie Tipping as a Cat B addition according to afl.com.au

Several AFLW clubs in race to sign volleyball star

Up to 10 clubs are competing to convince 21-year-old volleyballer to join as potential AFLW ruck star

this year's draft is beyond loaded. Most clubs will get 2 elite talents out of it and expect first round picks to be HOT property in the trade period. Will take a very good offer to get one out of clubs

Carlton and Gold Coast most likely open for business with the Blues having star mid/forward Sophie McKay as a father daughter, whilst the Suns have likely top 3 pick Havana Harris (ruck/mid/forward) and midfielder Tara Harrington (late first or early second), as well as classy half back/midfielder Mia Sailsbury coming through their academy.

The tweet suggested Sierra Croad could be F/D to Freo, but Trent only played 38 games for the Dockers. Does anyone know whether the F/D rules have a different games threshold than F/S?

Believe a single game of VFL/AFL could get someone's daughter on a AFLW list as a father daughter pick.

e.g Bryde O'Rourke, whose Dad played two games for the Cats in the 60s

Life of Bryde: Cats' father-daughter pick set to play 55 years after dad

Bryde O'Rourke will run out for Geelong this season, more than half a century since her father played for the Cats

[Liam AFLW nuff]

Will confirm that father/daughter is one game

Going to make life really interesting for Sunny Lappin next year. Good prospect but is, at best, the fourth best of the 2007 born Gold Coast Academy players, with Ava Usher, Dekota Baron, and Georja Davies all shaping as potential top 5 picks. Suns will need to do some maneuvering to get them, though. W bid matching rules make it difficult and no future trading will compound it further

Overrated and should've been traded, right?
