I am so angry with this. It is so unfairYeah bit odd. Surely a pick per player. Even if some of the lesser known girls are lower picks.

Yeah, 2 girls were not offered contracts.Port might have been like.. "Well, you were just gonna delist these two lesser players anyway" who knows how these negotiations went down.
Yeah, so in a sense they could have just gotten them as DFA, which effectively they just have been thrown in this deal for nothing given you'd be giving them away for nothing anyway.Yeah, 2 girls were not offered contracts.
Perry and Hammond are South Australians and were keen to return home after several years playing interstate.
Yorston had been exploring her options outside of the Suns, including with Sydney, with partner Tanah Boyd an NRL player with Gold Coast.
Barber and heslop not offered new contracts

Only Yorston and Surman are losses. Heslop pretty good too. It looks like 5 of our girls will end up in Port according to article.
How good is Courtney Jones?
Not every player is in the QLD pool. Both clubs get priority access to their academy kids.Courtney Jones had a great year, missing one round for Covid protocols. Her 2 best games were against Brisbane and Gold Coast IMO.
We played her up forward and she is good for a goal per game but she can play midfield. You will love her ferocity. She hits hard and her tackles stick. Has a little bit of white line fever I think.
Good decision maker and great attitude.
The trade is an interesting one. She was one of our 3 break out players this season and we value her highly, even if we make excuses why it's okay to lose her.
With your Port pick, you now have 1 and 2 in the Qld draft. I assume Alana Gee is your first choice but the second highest rated player is your academy captain.
Carlton would be targeting one of those first 2 picks as they are worth quite a bit in the Victorian draft.
#19 is worth #10 in the Vic draft and #34 is worth #19 in the Vic draft. The thing is though, if you were going to use one for Jones, it doesn't matter to you which one as you'd still have the #1 pick in Qld.
The staredown comes if you offer up #49 or whatever your 3rd pick is as it is way unders for us but you'd get Jones and retain #1 and #2 in the Qld draft.
I believe there are 3 Qlders in rookiemecentrals top 40 power rankings and Gee is substantially above the other 2 so you may still get the 2nd player you want anyway.
It would be a massive favour for us if we get 19 as we have lost so many but would have 4 picks in the compromised top 20 in the Vic draft.

Only mature age players out of the QAFLW, or interstate players who nominate Qld, go in to the QLD pool.
So if GC are only drafting kids out of their academy, then they could have the last 5 picks in the draft, and still get the kids they want.
Depends if they have convinced an interstate draftee or mature age player to join them, who has to nominate the QLD zone for the draft.So driving a hard bargain in a pick trade for a player is fairly pointless? #19 for Jones please Suns, thank you.
How many potential draftees do you have? GC and NT?9 out, 4 in so far.
5 draft picksHow many potential draftees do you have? GC and NT?
I can do math, lol.5 draft picks
Sorry, I don't know too much about available girls and their talent. I assume the best are Gee and Davies, but most probably more good talent available in academy worth drafting. I suspect some other contributors here could give you more qualified answer.How many potential draftees do you have? GC and NT?

Loosely followed her since Brisbane drafted her and found out she was a Gold Coaster. She's had an interesting journey - born in Adelaide and moved to the GC at 8 years of age where she initially chased a career in tennis and even went to the United States on a scholarship to play college tennis for Norfolk University but never quite made the grade at the professional level. Upon returning to Australia she was encouraged by her brothers to play footy and fell in love with the game. Two years later in 2017 she ends up on the Brisbane Lions AFLW list. She never debuted for Brisbane but continued to play QAFLW footy for Bond University and was a part of their rise up the ranks from Division 1 to the top state league.
