With the expansion they will definitely allow new teams to raid the current sides. I've got no doubt Adelaide will be one. Hopefully the Crows have 3 or 4 flags before then and it won't matter as much.

They were allowed to raid us before too but nobody left. The issue is it's still a part time comp and most of our players are based in Adelaide. Not a lot of incentive to leave unless they can't get a game!
The introduction of Port will change that of course.

Sad consequence of AFLW star Tayla Harris’ $150k pay demand
It’s not looking good for Tayla Harris or footy fans as some sobering news was delivered about the future following her AFLW pay dispute.

Hasn’t she been picked up by Melbourne, I think this story is very out of date

Yes, she's now at Melbourne after a complicated mega trade.

I just saw the May 28 on it.
Unsurprised that Port come in next year, nothing surer after the Crows made a 3rd Grand Final even if it wasn’t based on any research into the strength of the SANFLW & Women’s footy in SA, pretty stupid move bringing in Sydney and both Metro Melbourne teams that early, will be a giant talent gulf around the league for a number of years.
Sydney and GWS will be costing the AFL an absolute bundle to entice a stack interstate players over to even fill the teams plus find accommodation for them in Sydney during the season.

The Messenger
The wait is over with SANFLW 2022 set to kick off on Friday when Norwood hosts Glenelg from 8pm at Coopers Stadium.
Each club has maintained a strong list of players and with a promising group of young stars coming through the ranks, this season may reveal the finest array of talent we’ve seen.
With the season just around the corner, we’ve named every club’s players to watch, with a mixture of young and experienced players included.
Central District
Shelby Smith
Central District skipper Shelby Smith is hoping to lead the Bulldogs to finals footy in 2022.
The Bulldogs’ newest captain, Smith has been a leading force around the park for her club.
She is a strong inside midfielder who isn’t afraid to go hard in the contest and win her own ball. Smith had an outstanding 2021 season, winning the club champion award, and she will be hoping to lead her teammates to finals footy in 2022.
Georgia McKee
Rising star Georgia McKee has become one of the most versatile young players at the Bulldogs.
At just 16, McKee has some of the best potential in the league.
The skilful small forward/midfielder is part of this year’s State Under-18 Academy and is being touted by her teammates as someone who could take the competition by storm.
McKee has the ability to blitz midfielders and defenders with her speed and athleticism and could make a big difference for the Bulldogs.
Glenelg
Piper Window

The granddaughter of Magarey Medallist Gary Window, Piper has been a revelation for the Tigers.

Window has been selected in the State Under-18 Academy.
Sarah Goodwin
Glenelg midfielder Sarah Goodwin is set for a big 2022.
Goodwin was also a premiership player in 2021 at just 17 and she will be hoping to continue her momentum this year.

Erin Sundstrom
Erin Sundstrom (right) has become one of North Adelaide’s most reliable players.
Gun midfielder Sundstrom experienced a bit of a breakout season last year and will provide reliability and a veteran presence for the Roosters in 2022.

Jaslynne Smith
By all reports coming out of South Adelaide, Smith looks in for a big year.
The physical defender has impressed throughout her time in the SANFLW and has continued to develop her game each season.

The niece of former Fremantle and Port Adelaide player Clive Waterhouse, she has become one of the league’s most potent half-forwards.
Her presence up front will be a significant boost for the Panthers.
Sturt
India Rasheed
India Rasheed's dramatic rise at Sturt looks likely to continue this year.
The daughter of former Double Blues player and renowned tennis coach Roger Rasheed, India has burst onto the scene as a talented left-footed forward/midfielder.

Kiera Mueller
Kiera Mueller is set for a successful 2022.
Half-back Mueller is another breakout player at the Double Blues.

She hopes to be a father-daughter selection for Port Adelaide’s AFLW team in 2023.
Ella Little
Ella Little, out of Millicent High School, looks to be a promising new recruit for the Eagles.

With the ability to play around the ground, Little has continued to work on her craft and her desire for game knowledge has impressed Eagles coaches.
She seems poised for a breakout this year.

Disagree with a few of those.
Saw Waterhouse get destroyed in a GF last year, doesn't work hard enough.
Zbierski one to watch at Glenelg.
Zerella at Norwood, and Brantford.
Agree with Mueller, my missus has played against her for 3 years, ridiculous left foot.

Is Gypsy Schirmer going around again? I remember thinking she was unlucky not to be drafted, presumably she will be in the mix again in 2022.

Glenelg I think
No South Adelaide sister at Glenelg
Geez, Janelle Cuthbertson from Freo knocked the s**t out of herself at training, colliding with a teammate
Not on any list at the moment I believe. She took time off for personal reasons in 2019 and then in 2020 chose not to pursue another contract. Not sure what happened with her.
Tell you what the sooner Nathan Burke’s out of this league the better, dragging the league down with his negative, ugly, protect his own arse bullshit way of playing football, if the Bulldogs had any sense they’d get rid of him straight away

Freo v North game very lacklustre at the moment
If you're best 22 at the Crows why would you want to go to Port and get spanked every week will the money be worth it?
Wonder if Scheer is enjoying herself at Geelong knowing she'd have less money but potentially another premiership chance if she stayed at Adelaide?

She would be, for her it wasn't just about money.
Fremantle is the only team standing in our way of another Premiership.
When Fremantle are "on" they are as good as we are, seem very much to be a momentum side though

Agree, but 4 matches in 16 days and life on the road caught up to them the last 2 matches, they got sucked into really contested scraps and with Bowers out North got on top and smashed them in the middle.
