Always thought Dana was overrated personally, all i hear is how she's a gun and 'prolific' yet I've never actually seen her play well once. Sorry jatz14

Now that she's an eagle however, she is officially the GOAT, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees with me.

Left right goodnight, thanks for coming.

Miller has signed with Freo, Damn.

Following players haven't signed.

Green
Stubbs
Stewart
Caulfield
Laurie
Mascall
McAuliffe
Dowson
Jansz
Davidson
Atkins
Moyes
Gibson

For me, I would target

Green (if her body is right, has done a knee in the latest of a series of injuries)
Stewart
Caulfield
Mascall
Atkins
Gibson
Laurie
Davidson

This leaves us pretty short and would possibly get McAuliffe and Jansz, though I dont really rate either, unless there are some good talls in the WAFLW.
So the best 7 from that list we can get to go with Hooker.

We do really need to bring in the max possible, so we need to prise some players out of some Eastern states clubs, which will not be easy. I am not sure we will get any returning WA players, so they need to be willing to target non WA players. Freo always made a thing about being all WA, but I do not think we will have the option of being that picky.

I know that WCE are talking to a few on that list already. I’ve also given my two cents to a certain person on that list to get her to sign with WCE and get her out of that awful Freo jumper, but it’s her career so she has to do what’s right for her. Trent Cooper is a great coach so I can see why girls might stay. Hopefully we get all the ones we want. :)

That leaves 12 uncontracted meaning we have Hooker and can poach 7 of the above 12

Not surprising that we have midfielders and smalls to choose from!

I am mixed in my thoughts on a separate AFLW Eagles membership. Not getting why we would want to divide the club.

What I would like to see is that we use the Eagles team in the AFLW competition allow us to expand our membership base and go for 100,000 in 2020 with an aim to getting to 150,000 by 2025. Membership should be to the Eagles and then you have sub categories of membership for ticketing to mens and womens games.

AFLW games aren’t ticketed at the moment, but I like the idea of having one membership for both sides.

The marquee player signings helped to dilute the benefit of having a single state to source from.

Too many WA Women are good footballers. So many are playing over east.

Oh well. Maybe we'll destroy them in a AFLW State of Origin.


Currently a grand total of ten WA women on lists other than Freo.

As for the State of Origin idea, in 2017 on the weekend between the end of the AFL home and away season and the final series, there was a state of origin match - Victoria v the Rest of Australia. Result - Vic 17.11.113 d Allies 2.4.16. They haven't played one since.

Jess Wuetschner, Sabrina Frederick-Traub, Chelsea Randall and Emma King are quite a list of players to remove from WA Women's footy.
