Women's Footy GWS Giants - AFL Women's

What about Mother and Son - it was a great sitcom, but I reckon an AFL rule should be in the offing.

Swanson and Forth will be staying. Dally is another thing...fingers crossed!

A day after Magpie women’s best-and-fairest winner Nicola Stevens was traded to Carlton, vice-captain Alicia Eva — who finished second in the club award — has told the Magpies she wishes to explore her trade options. It is believed that Eva, 26, has attracted interest from both Melbourne-based and interstate clubs, but Greater Western Sydney is considered well in the mix.

So looks like Alicia Eva is likely to head our way

The Pies could lose their best and fairest runner-up too, with Alicia Eva asking for a trade to Greater Western Sydney. It's understood Eva wants to play in Sydney for non-football reasons.

Talk is our pick 1 which has value for the vic teams but means next to nothing to us as we can only select girls in the nsw/act pool.

Excellent trade considering the best NSW/ACT girls can only really be taken by us unless they nominate for another state.

So long as they don't ask for Dal Pos

Pick 1 gets them tayla Harris if she goes to the draft

 

[coniglio_number1]

Having a midfield of dal pos, Eva, Swanson, collier and forth looks far more imposing

 

[jatz14]

Eva, Dal Pos, a fit Forth and Swanson, starts to look like the nucleus of a decent midfield.

Throw in farrugia, Nguyen and collier and it's looking not like a spoon team anymore

With Ez feeding the much improved field and solid back line, we need a good key forward. And, don't forget Barr. Players like Barr and Collier will lift with the additional mid field experience.

It's taken a few days but Alicia Eva is now a Giant
http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/col...s/news-story/b842df2f429e954cae240060b2fce4cc

Giants chief executive James Avery said Eva’s leadership would add another level to the side that finished eighth in the inaugural season. “We’re delighted to secure a player of the quality of Alicia, both on and off the field,” Avery said in a statement. “She brings class and experience to our group on field and importantly her character and leadership off the field will help guide our side, who are young in terms of their football careers. “It’s a great endorsement of our program to have another player of this quality making the move to Sydney.” Eva is currently involved in the Calder Cannons TAC Cup coaching set-up and is set to continue her development as a coach while at the Giants.

Also this sounds promising:

Meanwhile, the Giants are confident that they will be able to retain best and fairest winner Jess Dal Pos for the 2018 season. The Victorian was a revelation in her first season at GWS and was the only Giant to earn a spot in the inaugural All-Australian team. West Australians Renee Forth and Emma Swanson are also set to stay at the club, after being marquees in the first season.

Is it wrong for me to have the ear worm all afternoon of

Eva, Eva, Eva let your hair hang down.....

Yes I know it's technically Evie but that's not the way it works with earworms

With Dally, we are building a very good midfield for 2018.

Great news about Eva, she can genuinely play.

I don't really understand what it means to trade draft picks though, given it was an unusual draft last year.

Number 1 pick is meaningless to us as the pools are state based. We can take the actual number 1 pick at 20 if she only elects for NSW. No problem trading high picks to Victorian teams for gun players
