So a bigger list size for '18 and a run down of when trade and draft period will take place.

That tells me that everyone signed a 1 season contract last season. Hope we keep everyone we had before!

Also very worried that a vic club will poach dal pos from us
She's seems the biggest risk as far as losing someone we would love to keep.

I get why they would have done that, but it has to be thrown out the window immediately.
I wont watch a team where I can't develop a fan/player relationship with the players on a long term basis.

Swanson sticking it out is a good sign. Some interstaters will find it hard to make the sums work, so can't blame them if offers come to play at home. Dally might be one of those. Others will be happy to return. I hope Renee Forth stays and gets a crack at next year. She is 30 and a sparky, and hopefully enjoying the Sydney lifestyle.
The team shares a unique bond, as will the other 7 sides. Yet I think we'll see a little bit of change in our list in the next few years. As with the men, we need to continue building our local content. Love the NSW/ACT players we have now. Would be great to get some Auburn Giants come through at some point in the future...now that would be a great story.

GWS GIANTS
2017 AFLW list: Jacinda Barclay, Nicola Barr, Rebecca Beeson, Jessica Bibby, Codie Briggs, Ellie Brush, Maddy Collier, Jessica Dal Pos, Kristy de Pellegrini, Amanda Farrugia, Renee Forth (M), Ashleigh Guest, Clare Lawton, Erin McKinnon, Phoebe McWilliams, Mai Nguyen, Ella Ross, Isabella Rudolph, Alex Saundry, Aimee Schmidt, Kate Stanton, Louise Stephenson, Emma Swanson (M), Renee Tomkins, Britt Tully, Stephanie Walker, Hannah Wallett, Alex Williams
Strengths: The Giants exceeded expectations, with their competitiveness earning them a win and a draw in the inaugural AFLW season. Their shining lights were their hard-nosed midfielders in Jess Dal Pos and Emma Swanson. Phoebe McWilliams was a stalwart up forward.
Weaknesses: The Giants had the most points scored against them of any team. They must stop the bleeding next season. They also kicked the fewest points of any team, showing they need more fire power up forward as well.
What they need: With marquee Renee Forth (ACL) playing no footy, GWS’ top line midfielders had their work cut out for them. While Forth will be a welcome inclusion, the club realistically needs to add the best footballers they can find, regardless of position.

Renee Forth is a quality person. Hope to see how good a player she is in 2018! We need a bit of height as much as anything. I think we were the smallest team on average. Take big Ez out of the equation and that is saying something.

Will be following the team selection process for the ladies very closely this year, keen to see a big lift in skills, the passion is already there

Full seasons from Swanson and forth will be pivotal to us.
But Barclay and Tomkins are very solid defenders. It was more that the defence was under siege for so long. Too much was left to dal pos and Swanson. Mids and a KPF like Sabrina Frederick-traub would do wonders for us

Correct decision for mine but would suggest that even 2019 is to soon to expand.

Feel for those clubs motivated to get on board, but definitely the right call. The talent pool needs time to grow, and the commitment of supporters, sponsors etc needs to be validated / consolidated.
This will be a loss maker for a while on pure financial grounds, as a comp. It will interesting to see how the AFL measures its return on investment through additional financial and cultural benefits i.e. Grassroots footy participation, AFL and other league support, and the public perception of the code in general.

I like the idea of father/daughter being implemented, I know we are out of it for a while, but we are the newest club, that's a reality.
