Rhys Harwood
Daniel Harford
Paul Groves

3 main targets for coach
Interesting
Harwood and Groves at North in 2017 for the list build.

“The Roos were keen to hit the ground running with their first AFLW team in 2019, and wanted to recruit players who would be able to execute a clean kicking, outside game, rather than the stodgy, contested style that dominated the early years of AFLW.”

I’d think Johnson a type of player inline with that sortve a philosophy
 
Paul Groves: Bulldogs AFLW coach, 2017-2019
Scott Gowans: North Melbourne AFLW coach, 2019-2020
(among other things)

Don't trust this poster. Laughable track record of posting incorrect things (and then deleting them).

This Bloke, the guy who drafted Mon?

"He mentioned they expected her to slip slightly in the draft order due to her WNBL basketball commitments and were keen to secure her with a high pick"

Hence not involved in North Melbourne's list build.

Somebody on the Essendon forum recently suggested the Bombers should get him back in the AFLW system, evidently unaware he was their midfield coach for the past 2 seasons.

Yep buggered that up.
Gowans not Groves.

It was a plan hatched by then-senior coach Scott Gowans (appointed in October 2017, giving him a year of planning before pre-season began), list manager Rhys Harwood (now senior assistant coach) and head of footy operations Laura Kane; with support from recruiter Josh Hare (now at Adelaide) and academy manager Lou Caluzzi (now football projects manager at the AFL).
