AFLW: Brisbane Lions criticise North Melbourne-Tasmania's recruiting methods in signing period

Brisbane Lions AFLW coach Craig Starcevich has accused new club North Melbourne-Tasmania of disrespecting the spirit of the competition during the 10-day expansion club signing period.

The signing period concluded on Monday and the Kangaroos landed a host of high-profile signings headed by league best and fairest winner Emma Kearney from the Western Bulldogs.

Two-time grand finalists Brisbane lost four players to the Kangaroos and Starcevich questioned the method of the recruiting team at Arden Street.

"Across the club we've all had some ownership about how this league works," the Lions coach told Grandstand AFL.

"There's a little bit there about respecting each others' space and not necessarily going in and pillaging each others' players and doing it with some ounce of integrity.

"It is the spirt of how we build this competition. I'm not sure North have been super with it to be honest."

Geelong will join North Melbourne-Tasmania in next year's competition before four more clubs enter the league in 2020.

Starcevich said the Kangaroos had been clinically courting their targets of the recruiting raid.

"They've been into some of the players for the best part of six months," he said.

"I'm not sure that sits with us that comfortably, even though the rules don't allow that, but if you abide by the rules you don't necessarily get when you want to go.

"You've got to do things a little bit underhanded at times to try and get where you want to get in terms of building your list so that's disappointing."

Brisbane chairman Andrew Wellington agreed the regulations surrounding the expansion of the AFLW could have been handled better.

"The AFL has done a fantastic job with women's football. It doesn't mean that they have got everything 100 per cent right," he said.

"It was very late in the day that they finalised the list rules which made it very hard for us to do what we needed to do to manage our list."

Both new AFLW clubs are entitled to recruit from the foundation eight clubs, but only four players in total from each existing club are allowed to be taken by either the Cats or Kangaroos.

Starcevich hopes the AFL addresses the rules around recruitment before Gold Coast, Richmond, St Kilda and West Coast build their player roster ahead of joining the 2020 season of AFLW.

"There's got to be a certain amount of movement with players that have had experience at AFLW, but at this point in time North Melbourne look like they are going to assemble 12 to 16 of those players," he said.

"It's probably a lesson learnt for next year when there's four new clubs that will take us up to 14 teams in the comp as to what is the right mechanism," he added.

"It can't just be a free-for-all."

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

To any other club complaining go cry a river to the AFL as we clearly should have been a foundation team.

 

[darko]

Disrespecting the spirit of the competition.

LOL.

 

[The Y Factor]

Anyone who thought the Melb Uni girls wouldnt put the band back together was naive.

The real advantage is having two extra years in the league.

 

[Bell End]

Eloquent speaker is Ashmore

Yeah nar totally sounds like she spent to much time in qld

 

[muttley45]

Starcevic should be more concerned with addressing his teams reliable habit of choking in the big dance, maybe his Collingwood heritage contributes to this.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

North Melbourne-Tasmania.

Yuck.

 

[Firestarter]

They killed my good will. ____ those northern minnows.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Starcevic. HAHHAHAHAHAHA

 

[CrazyQ]

North Melbourne-Tasmania.

Yuck.

Yeah, wtf is up with that name?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Yeah, wtf is up with that name?

To get a license we had to sell it as a partnership with Tasmania as AFL eventually wanted a womens team there. It gave us leverage over the other teams bidding for a license.

My feeling and feeling of a few I've spoken to around the traps is that eventually the aim is to split the team into North Melbourne and then a new team of Tasmania as the partnership I think was mentioned to only be for a certain amount of years when our license was announced

 

[Zondor]

Yeah, wtf is up with that name?

Check out the Guernsey Crazy. This ain't North Melbourne. :stern look

 

[sagitox]

Wow, we are building a pretty strong team. I thought having Emma would be good, but now...WOW! I've said this before and I'll say it again. The girls will get a premiership for North before the boys do!

This would be very political currently and wrapped in sponsorship dollars

I imagine in time as it's not special anymore, it will evolve.

Hopefully to a more North message.

I can live with it.

 

[The Brady Bunch]

I agree with Craig Sookavich. The AFL should tighten the rules before the next expansion so that no existing team can lose more than 2 required players.

Probably not a coincidence that the only time it's really been used so far is in this article, from Queensland, whining about what we are doing.

Correct, North aren't flashing it around much.

No North supporter will like it but it's a means to an end.

I hope!

 

[Egga]

Nothing wrong with the name at all and I’m really looking forward to Israel-Iran joining the league in 2020.
