Seems likely we will land Keeley Skepper which being conracted probably costs our 2nd round pick, about 30.
Sophie Peters looks further away but is probably cheaper, F2nd shoud be sufficient.
That would leave us with our 1st round and 4th round picks.
The group of players around our 4th round pick seem to actualy be half decent players.
Looking at profiles there are some good options with M Anderson SA/S Gerardi WA/E Gilbey WA/H Britton WA/J Kelly WA.

I wrote for The Roar for a couple of years, they pay nothing, just fun (I got to sit in the press box).

Yeah, Zakfer and Cleaver are terrific, Mac's a big question mark, Schilling's pretty good but jury's still out if she can reach the highest level. And Chuck is awesome, of course, but she's a roaming mid-sized, not a big bodied KPD. So another big defender would be useful.

But then, we've still got lots of spots we might like to fill. I'm just thinking that if we grab 3 smalls, a tall with our first pick would be logical, and Crane's the best tall likely to still be on the table.

Unless Mackereth... who's not really a tall, but is a weapon nonetheless. I'd be happy with either.
I read Scarlett Johnson off to Richmond with pick 1. Not sure how true it is.

Thoughts on D’Addario? I thought she would be a nice fit for us.

Just came in to post this. Can’t vouch for the accuracy but given AFLW journalism is hardly a clout chasing game I’m inclined to say lock that one in.
 
Nice to note we dont look like losing any players we wanted to keep. A few clubs will be using draft picks just to try to replace players that asked to leave.

That would feel like a very disappointing consolation prize.

D'Addario's a terrific inside mid, probably the best pure insider in the draft. Do we want to spend our first on an inside mid? Given the three players we're trying to get outside the draft are also mids - not as good inside as D'Addario, sure, but I'd go a good forward or back instead.

Clown show by Richmond. SJ's great, but an AFLW team needs at least 5 AGrade midfielders at the moment. Richmond's got 3 if they're lucky, and they turn down one of the best yet in Bown, for a defender/winger?

GWS will be thrilled. That'll give them Bown, Goldsworthy, Howley, Srhoj, Beeson plus Parker gets back from her knee. Seriously good midfield, and young too... and they've got their huge Academy draft next year. And if they use their charity pick on Wolmarans, they'll finally have a forward target too.

Brilliant inside mid, strong beyond her years, hard to bring down. Contest collector and good goal sense.

But not the fit for us, we need leg speed and spread - Lou and Jess to come inside means we don't need Dadds for mine

I really hope Lu gets all the midfield minutes next year. Would be pretty flat if we used our bulldozer mid as a forward 50 target AGAIN next year. Time for Amy Franklin to get her shit together cos a rookie inside mid shouldn't be kicking more goals than you, let alone be our leading goalkicker.

Wonder if Drennan will just quietly be dropped off the list and never mentioned again, like Burrows and Jarrod Cameron?
 


So two players traded in and we still have our natural R1 and R2 picks to take to the draft with no one wanting out?

Seems a sensible way to go about it
