…adding height to Essendon's team, Borg has developed her ruck craft over the past three seasons in Carlton’s VFLW side, with the 23-year-old showing great potential once in an AFLW environment.

Has been moved to the inactive list with a season-ending foot injury

 

[Lore]

So it’s a fracture from the praccy, 12 weeks (season done)

Unfortunately, Jorja fractured her foot in the opening quarter of our practice match against Port Adelaide. This is an estimated 12-week injury so we have moved Jorja to our inactive list. Jorja will be in a boot for the next month and we will re-scan before commencing impact training.

True – a longer season and a longer playing list would help mitigate some of it though. Fancy having a medium-term injury and that's season over...

Jorja’s recovery from a fractured foot is progressing well. She has one more week left in her moon boot before making the next step in her recovery.

Also back running after being ruled out for the season with a broken foot.

In excellent news for our rehab group, Georgia Nanscawen, Jorja Borg and Eloise Ashley-Cooper will start running this week following their injuries, with Ashley-Cooper returning via the AlterG machine.

Not offered a contract :\ Same as EAC, she was injured and missed the whole season. But I guess the list only has room for 30...

Of all the delistings I'm most surprised by Borg, mainly because the list is already lacking in height

I'm wondering if Brooke Brown might be the back up for Steph Wales in the ruck she's billed as a rebound defender but at 184 she's as tall as most rucks. Also Ellyse Gamble back from injury. But yeah, they're not really rucks the way Jorja is, and you'd think Jorja was originally intended as the no. 1 ruck, having been recruited before we drafted Steph Wales. injuries suck

I guess it's possible but that doesn't seem ideal given we're not exactly deep for tall defenders. I wonder if there's plans to somehow recruit more talls because with Ryan and Sargent out now too there's no depth for tall forwards either..

There's a bit of height around in the defence, but yeah the forwards are shallow,

Love the spreadsheet! Yeah I guess defence isn't too bad but tall forwards depth is dire and now no backup ruck. I mean Phillips can kick a goal I guess they could play her forward a bit more? 100% need to recruit tall forwards

Will have to wait and see. I guess the thing about AFLW is that a lot of players are versatile because they're cross-coders that don't necessarily have a defined role that they've been learning to play well for 5-10 years before they were even drafted
