Thinking about not using the full 25 signings, I wonder if we have a couple of women from other sports we're looking to sign as rookies and need the space on our list?

Big news day today. Daisy has re-signed. Nothing more needs to be said. :) The Libby Birch deal has been done. We get Birch and pick 77 in exchange for Ashleigh Guest and picks 8 & 48 going to the Doggies. Also Claudia Whitfort and pick 63 will be off to St.Kilda for picks 54 & 72...

We now re-signed Shelley Heath and Ainslie Kemp.

Yes, but one way you get that pick #1 in exchange, the other way you get nothing (or a very low pick).

Gee, I hope it doesn't happen but I can see the potential for something horrible. What if Richmond decide to offer you guys #88 (their lowest pick) for Conti, and say take it or leave it? If you leave it she goes into the draft and they take her with the #1 pick. As has been said, the AFL's...

A bit late in posting but congrats to Alicia Eva for winning the inaugural AFL Coaches Association Coaching Pathway Scholarship. https://www.aflcoaches.com.au/news/evascholarship The article mentions she was one of nine applicants. I would be fascinated to know who were the other eight. I'd...

LOL. Yes, there are always catches and usually a way around them. And I agree with your comments re Sherriff v a second rounder, but as you also say the clubs should know best. I wonder how much the Conti to Richmond deal will get in the way of the Libby Birch deal, I'm guessing the first...

My understanding is that the Dees won't be able to do this, as they have already used their second round draft pick (I'm reading Pick 24 as their second rounder). When Daisy Pearce went on the inactive list last year Melbourne called up Casey Sherriff as her replacement. Apparently they have...

We've done very well to re-sign so many, basically all, of our core team. Katherine Smith was a little down this year, she lost her starting spot in the backline and didn't really set the world on fire as a midfielder when she had the chance. I'd be much happier with her as one of our core...

If the Libby Birch deal can be done that would useful, she's a good player. Will be interesting as we've pretty much signed up all our experienced, quality players that I assume the Doggies would have been wanting as part of a trade. Could cost us a couple of draft picks if they aren't...

Dead quiet in here while many of the other team's AFLW threads are in paroxysms over trades, poaching and re-signings. I guess we've escaped most of the carnage teams like the Doggies and Brisbane have endured, perhaps says something about our team harmony and general player satisfaction...

Currently a grand total of ten WA women on lists other than Freo. As for the State of Origin idea, in 2017 on the weekend between the end of the AFL home and away season and the final series, there was a state of origin match - Victoria v the Rest of Australia. Result - Vic 17.11.113 d Allies...

I've been to many AFL matches both seasons and seen no such thing. In fact I've been to double headers where more people were watching the AFLW match.

The AFLW has been played simultaneously with the JLT both years. AFLW as curtain raisers, JLT as curtain raisers, and both separately.

Yes, lots of AFLW listed players on VFLW lists this year have played only a few games or none at all! I also considered the split AFLW season idea as a way of being able to have each team play each other twice in the 2018 season, expanding from the "play each other once" model in 2017, if the...

My main worry with Gil's World Cup comment goes beyond the ignorance he displayed. He usually comes across as a moderate, fair minded individual in most of his comments. As such I would have expected him, when confronted with Daisy's comments and the general concerns re a shortened season, to...

Yes, watching a bit of AFLW on television gives you more insight than someone who has been to around a dozen games and watched at least as many on television. :rolleyes: I could go into the multiple, lengthy discussions I've had fans on public transport after the games, I could talk about the...

Never claimed to be an expert on the crowds at AFLW matches. But having been to at least one game most weeks both seasons (and re state level football, many VFLW, or it's equivalent, games over several years) I think I'm a better position than you to comment. Perhaps we leave that there then...

As I said, if you'd been to any AFLW matches you might be surprised. But you guessed again, and again got it wrong. It is interesting that people (and this is not specifically targeted at you, Cannon82) who have no genuine interest in women's football, have no real knowledge of the recent...

I'm assuming you haven't been to any AFLW matches. If you had been you might be surprised at the composition of the crowd.

Gil, the World Cup doesn't run for four weeks. The finals of the World Cup run for four weeks. The qualifying, or rounds, run for over two years. Bit more on what Daisy said...

Yes, averaging over 1000 per club....pretty good! :)

Not really at the moment......maybe down the track. :)

There is a big difference between unfettered and determined. The article says "The structure of the season – the starting date, the length and finals arrangements – are all tied up in the broadcast deal and won't be finalised until that is complete." That goes way beyond any input the networks...

BringBackTorps, it's called reading between the lines. :)

A few days old; AFLW: Negotiations continue on broadcast deal http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-20/aflw-negotiations-continue-on-broadcast-deal In short, whoever wins the broadcasting rights will determine the time, length and structure of the 2019 season. I don't see how that could be...

Same here, I really admire Sydney and nearly always cheer for you guys against everyone but my Dees. What the hell is going on?

Shae Sloane listed second in the best players for Casey in their win against Essendon yesterday, in what I believe is only her second senior match. Bodes well for us in 2019 and beyond.

Hopefully in a few years we'll be describing him as Shae's brother. :)

We've signed Shae Sloane (former Vollyroos captain) for 2019. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-06-19/aflw-sloane-joins-melbourne Apparently she'll suit up for Casey this weekend.
