Final rookie selection are in, but no KB
Bartlett was always a long shot. Pretty skinny, and it wasn't clear she had the sort of game that would stand up to greater pressure. Give her a full season in senior football, and if she keeps kicking goals, she will be a prospect in a year or 2.
Certainly seems that in the main draft that McConnell has favored getting in more mature girls who either address our lack of speed or our lack of goal scoring power, and for the most part using the rookie draft to bring in a couple of young developing players.
Drummoyne?
On a Friday night?
That’s going to be a b*tch to get to

15 minute stroll through residential streets? I can cope. Kicks ending up over the road in the Bus depot more of a worry.
Nice to see a better pay deal deal for all the girls

Female Footy Leads the Way
The GIANTS' banner at the final game of their history-making inaugural AFL Women's season.
Our growth in Club football is the highest of any state in Australia driven by skyrocketing participation in our youth girls and female competitions.
AFL NSW/ACT CEO Sam Graham
Women’s footy leads the way as female participation increases by 78 per cent in NSW and the ACT off the back of the GIANTS’ involvement in the inaugural AFL Women’s season.
The GIANTS are the only elite female team in the state and territory and while overall participation grew 8.2 per cent, it was the female space that saw the biggest increase.
30 new teams competed in the first under-12s competition for girls in 2017 and it set to be followed up by another new under-10s competition next year, off the back of the success of the first AFLW season.
In 2017, the total number of female participation across all levels of Australian Football increased by 22 per cent to 463,364. Female participation now reflects 30 per cent of all participation and has seen 1,690 female teams created in 2017, an increase of 76 per cent from 2016.

These are the sort of steps that will ensure our brand becomes a major regional imprint and underpin Giant growth

AFL just have to be patient and not listen to the VFLers down south or dickheads like Masters and his SMH brethren.

Pretty sure they are smart enough, the TV revenue forces even the dumb ones to be
It will also be pushed along by other things happening in popular culture. For boys there has always been book series like Specky McGee and Fox Swift and even a series about the Selwood boys. Well, now there’s a new series for young readers called “Play Like a Girl” about a girls team called the Flyers, and it’s even got AFLW branding.

That's great.
To be honest I was never understanding of the missing element of Women's sport. Until I had a daughter. Having the Women's team as well as the Netball team is great for the women and girls of our region, hell even all of Sydney since the Swans couldn't be bothered
FYI Where's the Giants branded one?
