Former Matilda Brianna Davey waltzes off to the AFL after an offer too good to refuse
The AFL women's competition has secured its first high-profile code-hopper with Carlton achieving an in-principle agreement with international goalkeeper Brianna Davey who has chosen Australian rules football over soccer.
The Blues have offered the former Matilda a three-day-week community role and prioritised her recruitment in their five-player marquee wish-list lodged late last week with the AFL.
Carlton football boss Andrew Mackay confirmed the club had offered Davey a job and that she had finally made a call between the two football codes. "It would be excellent to get her," he said. "She's a very good player."

According to the AFL website -
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-07-21/four-coaches-to-lead-magpies-womens-side
Definately won't Collingwood coach next year from what I've heard. Don't know where you've heard this from.

Couple more links, 3 female development coaches from our women's coaching program to follow. Obviously there's a lot more to each club's bid than was made public at the time of the licence announcement, I assume this program would have strengthened our bid.

So Freo has gone from strongest list to middling to poor at a stroke. Not sure how I feel about that. Firstly, Freo, so suck eggs, but then, stripping WA to prop up everywhere else?
As has been pointed out, the depth in WA while well ahead of elsewhere, is still way of Vic, and Vic look to lose no players interstate and WA a whole bunch?
Having Vic teams fill the first 4 spots on the ladder will not be good for a national comp and is now on the cards. Having 1 or 2 WA players go to interstate teams will not lift them into contention, but WA losing that many may drop us out.

My mistake. I was informed it was to be a former assistant coach at Youth Girls National Championships level who had gone on to become a head coach at the same level. i went for Gowans overlooking Siekman as I thought he was heading down the traditional male pathway.
Oh fair enough, easy to see that mistake being made!

Of that list there are no real surprises thus far from the Vics apart from Collingwood's #2 being up in the air still.

I don't think that is much of a surprise. An extra 15k plus relocation costs...if players are offered one of the marquee spots they're taking it.
So how will the draft in October work?
Will it be an open draft, where players can be drafted across the country, in the same way as the men are?
I would assume not, given that the players will not be rewarded as much as the Marquee players. Of course I don't want to lose too many more Western Australian players from my team.
But in that case, is it a draft for the single state teams, or a pre selection?

From my understanding, It will be a state-based draft, however players are able to nominate for drafts in other states. Given the season lasts only pre-season + 8 weeks and players have jobs, most players would only nominate for their own states draft unless guaranteed selection by an interstate club should they not be chosen in their own state. Essentially Fremantle will get to pick any WA player it likes and the option of any players that choose to nominate from other states.

following
I'm compiling a list for each club: CEO, President, Coach, Captain. Of the 32 positions, I believe only 6 or 7 have been announced.
I've got Steph Chiocci down as Bulldogs captain but I'm not sure that's been confirmed.
