Women's Footy Crows AFLW Season 2021 - “2nd comes right after 1st”

[Firewalker]

Our culture is about to be tested here, if our young stars stay then we're on the right track. Surely the club can get some of these girls jobs in "other areas" through corporate sponsors and so on

They do, Marinoff and Randall are employed in other areas at the club and the likes of Rajcic, Thompson, Gould and some others have all had jobs or academy employment with Randall at the club

Scheer is off to Geelong

 

[hey shorty]

Was always going to happen sadly

 

[radiojake]

No ******* way!

 

[radiojake]

Is Geelong offering more money/job or does she just want out of the Crows?

 

[hey shorty]

Mostly money, but also wants to get out of her comfort zone.

 

[Scorpus]

Apparently we will retain Marinoff

 

[pjcrows]

Is it a trade for Scheer? If she's going as a marquee player then fine, should get good compo. (I don't know how their system works)

 

[Caputo]

So far 4 spots available. This will gives us a chance to make some changes Forward and Midfield could be tweeked. What do we do with Erin in 2022. I am thinking draft Prowse, Schirmer, Venning and Abbie Ballard. Even though Prowse has been listed as a Ruck I think she should be converted into a KPP. To replace Rajcic or up forward.

Yes it will be a trade but ultimately doesn't matter as we have first access to all SA talent

 

[cmndstab]

That's super sad Scheer was one of my favourite players. On the other hand, with AFLW still mostly only offering short-term contracts, we may see her back again one day.

I wonder if she is still pissed at having her ACL injury completely overlooked by the SA media because of Phillips' ACL injury, haha?

Do Geelong have any decent players from SA? It would be nice to organise a player trade rather than getting a pick which is essentially useless. Mind you, if we get a good pick we might be able to trade it with another club for one of their players.

 

[ams4crows]

One my fav players and one our most naturally gifted talents, pretty devastating.
It was only a matter of time before the Vic started poaching all our talent.

I don't think it's that, she's a bit of a group outsider... Doesn't fit in

 

[Scorpus]

It's probably more that Geelong's team is terrible and they could easily afford to pay her tier 1 money plus extras

 

[Firewalker]

Bloody shame loosing Scheer especially considering she’s been with the group since she was 17 and just this season showed she could have moved into the midfield permanently next season.

So far 4 spots available. This will gives us a chance to make some changes Forward and Midfield could be tweeked. What do we do with Erin in 2022.

I would be more for going after & convincing Alex Ballard (no relation) from Sturt to stay & not go to Gold Coast then taking Abbie Ballard who’s a bit too limited for the next level.

Is this just a guess on your part, or is this known?

Speculation on twitter that this may open the door for Port to grab her

 

[hey shorty]

Known, but not the reason she left

 

[cmndstab]

Speculation on twitter that this may open the door for Port to grab her

Surely they could have done that anyway?

Pick 20 and 47 for Scheer

“...she was presented with a compelling offer by the Cats and we had to consider the broader implications of matching such a deal.

“It would have forced us to move on one of the players who finished high up in our Club Champion voting and we were not prepared to do that."

ADELAIDE
In – Picks 20 (Geelong), 47 (Melbourne)
Out – Chloe Scheer (Geelong), 49 (Melbourne)


CARLTON
In – Jess Dal Pos, picks 10, 27 (all GWS), 32 (Melbourne)

So basically Pick #20 for a generational talent that doesn't mean anything in a state based draft anyway

 

[radiojake]

I don't see why the Crows even had to get involved with the rest of it - moving up from 49 to 47 wowee

Especially when draft order has zero impact on who we can draft

 

[ams4crows]

A tried and tested player is worth 10x more than any draft pick in the women's game at the moment

We could have been given pick 5 or pick 50 and got the same player, as we're the only team who can select South Australians

 

[RePete]

Shame to lose Scheer - will hurt us a bit going forwards. Was one of our best - many other players I would happily swap out for her. We are lucky that we have not lost more quality players to new/VFL teams yet. Reckon we may bleed a few when Port come in....
