We only compete with West Coast in the draft and what are they expected to do if we take their draft picks? They can't build a team from 8 players...
We can take free agents if we want still, we may even do that but right now focusing on retention

Was shattered at the news of Hooker but those 18 signatures are gold!
Houghton posted on Insta that shes in for 2 years too!
Great to see Miller stay!
Gibson is the next big one but looking likely she will leave

What a rollercoaster...
Bowers, Donnellan, Antonio, Gooch, O'Sullivan - Whoop!
Hooker - Nooooooooooooooooooo!
Miller, Houghton, Sharp, Duffy, Williams, Bresland, Seth,... - F**k yes!
Please can we have Gibson and Green as well? Wouldn't mind Janz, Laurie and Caulfield but not going to lose sleep if we don't. The rest, meh. We probably need to find a more dominant ruck to be competitive against the best teams anyway - any 200cm basketballers we can recruit?

Don't forget they can still get 4 players from other teams. There are quite a few West Aussies who aren't necessarily 'superstars', but who get regular games, scattered through the comp. Emma King still hasn't signed with North, but I reckon they're still pursuing her hard. There's Renee Forth from Adelaide, Arianna Clarke and McKenzie Dowrick at Brisbane, Emma Swanson at GWS. I know 4 isn't a lot, but there are still players out there.
West Coast Pays Hooker More

quite a few of those West Aussies who moved over have started lives over there tho, have to understand it will be harder to bring them back over.
In reality its a bad position for both teams, both the poacher and poached but a necessity for growth of the game
Read somewhere that King will be at the Roos.
Shame because we really lacked in the ruck.
Gibson almost certainly gone. I'd be surprised if she stays. Laurie should be ok.
I think her job as an ER nurse prevented her from a lot of footy.

Gut feeling or inside info?
IMO Gibson is the best footballer of the lot.
Every time I see her do something I’m impressed - if she leaves I believe it will be the biggest loss

She makes no secret of her love for the Eagles, pretty much exactly the way Hooker did whilst at Freo.

I know Gibson still professes her love for the weags, didn’t know Hooker did. Always got the feeling she was a true purpleite.

Senior List
Especially Sharp's tattoo
Anyone know why we haven't signed Jasmin Stewart? First draft pick last season and family are huge Freo fans. We aren't considering delisting her are we?
Reading the tea leaves a bit, maybe Hooker exploring the Vic options between seasons last year was with a thought to the WC entering in T20. Thinking it may ease the transition.
More tea leaf reading on Gibson switching to Freo, thinking"I'll be switching to a WA team anyway, so better sooner rather than later".
I was wondering whether Hooker would be the first WC player I'd have mixed feelings about, but seeing that photo seems to confirm not.

Richmond have pinched a player from each of GWS (Phoebe Monaghan), Collingwood (Ilish Ross) and Melbourne (Maddy Brancatisano). Takes their list to 4, including Katie Brennan.
We just lost four to West Coast
