I don't think any of us know the full story here, all we have is speculation. There's really not much point rushing to judgment on either side.
Not sure its unders for a player thats barely played in 2 years the bigger question is why she is going at all

I reckon looking at her socials the reason for her losing passion for game and having a bad year or so is obvious. Whether she had to move to get past it or not is possibly the question. But I guess if she’s out of contract and feels she did have to it becomes difficult…. Especially in this comp where picks don’t seem to have the same value based on the way players are traded.

Unpopular opinion time: Maybe this is just the way its gonna be and we all need to get used to the difference between the male and female game.
Many of the women don't get paid enough to go interstate as easily, and there isn't the same fiery hate between the clubs as there is in the men's so they can get away with it. So any player who believes they are good enough yet remains on the outer at their club might swap to the other; we've already seen Goodwin, Saint and Ewings make the swap (as well as Simmons). The key might be not to sit complaining but:
1. Recognise that any young high ceiling player that doesn't get game time will be a sitting duck for the tingles to attack.
2. Recognise that any young high ceiling player at Adelaide is ripe to be targeted, and arguably should be our biggest targets. We need to relentlessly go after them if they can make our side better.

Bugger. Another avatar change. Given my last one was JoBu, I wonder who next I can jinx.
Sack Hinkley .....
I recall Macca starting an "Extend Hinkley" thread. Perhaps he can craft me an av to that effect...

There’s not much loyalty in the AFLW.
As long as we don’t lose Matilda Scholz or Lauren Young then I can live with that.

My list of untouchables is much bigger than that.
Yep Hannah was on it for me a season ago but not now. If she was going anywhere else Id honestly wish her all the best with getting her career back on track.

Burgo now has it
With time with us her standards (including fitness) dropped so quickly prior to and during the preseason last year.

From the recent Fox article - "Wasn’t feeling like myself’: AFLW star opens up on ‘really hard time’ as comeback looms"
- Speaking with Fox Sports News she said her struggle to deal with “loss” had a detrimental effect on her mental health.
- dropped by the Power for “not meeting performance standards and expectations”.
- felt like I needed to do things that I enjoyed, so I spent a lot of time at the beach.
- she has always had strong ties to West Lakes having gone through the Crows academy as a junior. “It was nice to return home.”
- I have built that trust and connection with the playing group and I’m really proud of that. “I feel like I belong here”.
Sitting out a season to go to the beach?
