Kate Bartlett was offered a contract by West Coast yesterday along with three other players. She wouldn’t divulge who the others were but you’d think there would be an announcement today if they have agreed to sign.

So it’s looking like…
Out (11): 5 retirees, 2 delisted, 1 expansion signing, 3 trade requests
In (11): 2 trades, 4 concession signings, 5 draftees.
That about right?

Looks like you’ve got two of them at least. Smith and Goranova signed according to that article.

From article
"West Coast have ramped up their AFLW list rebuild, signing reigning WAFLW Dhara Kerr medallist Ella Smith. The Eagles have committed to Claremont co-captain Smith as one of their four mature-aged players after receiving draft concessions from the AFLW. As well as receiving three first-round draft selections, West Coast also have the ability to pre-sign a quartet of players who have previously nominated for the AFLW draft. Fellow Tiger Sasha Goranova is also set to join Smith at the Eagles, with the pair announcing the news to their teammates on Wednesday night.
Smith, 21, is a powerful inside midfielder who can also hit the scoreboard while Goranova, 20, is a Claremont best-and-fairest and can play a variety of roles through the midfield. Both have spent time at West Coast as top-up players, giving them a taste of life in an elite AFLW environment. “This year, I’m a bit hungrier knowing it’s not a given and it’s all hard work. It’s not going to come easy,” Smith told The West Australian earlier this year. “Being in that elite environment exposed me to a lot of AFLW players and getting to learn off them. “It has given me a taste of AFL life. And with hard work again this year, I hope it will be within my grasp.”
Set to announce the news to her teammates on Thursday night, The West Australian also understands one of the WAFLW’s best forwards has signed with the Eagles.
West Coast have also lured two Melbourne players to the nest, including a cousin of a male Eagle. The Eagles have acquired Krstel Petrevski, cousin of Sam Petrevski-Seton, uncapped tall Isabella Simmons and pick 77 from Melbourne in exchange for pick 50. Petrevski, 21, played four games for the Demons and go through the midfield and up forward, while Simmons was inactive last season due to a foot injury but made her VFLW return recently. “It’s exciting to lock in two players who we believe will play a long-term role in the evolution of our AFLW team,” women’s football head Michelle Cowan said

Any inside word on who the fourth might be?
Now we need a game plan to utilise the talent, and buy in from the girls like we had season before last.

I like Ashleigh Gnomes from East Freo. Dual sided, runs all day. Contested. Is a bloody good human
Maddy Scanlon - Tigers - is a good get - I’m not a massive advocate but is athletic….
Emily Elkington - Tigers - good skills but does she get enough of the ball.
hmm can our mature selections come from interstate too?

Just as i suspected a couple of weeks ago, Smith and Russian get picked up. Interesting to see how they go. Both good people and players.
