I know nothing about the Port player, but good outcome I feel as that Keryk was cooked and had done as much as she could in our side so no loss

 

[patience]

I don't know anything about the Port woman either. I don't think Keryk was setting the world on fire in recent times.

 

[Drunkcat]

Don't sound like a good deal pick 12 and Keryk for a 31yr old

 

[cats_09]

I've read that Surman is more of a forward/midfielder type and will help in our forward line

It really seems over the last 12/18 months that the coaching & recruiting team have put a focus into that strengthening that area - acknowledgement that it's been a weakness that needed addressing

 

[cats_09]

Obviously depends on the player/s that are be available at pick 12 on draft night, but it's actually not a bad deal when you factor in the compromised nature of this draft

There may not be as many selections at the up coming draft as it's purely an over-age draft, when compared with a standard draft - if anything it may be a few of those newer teams such Port who are more interested in acquiring players via the draft

On the other hand, we may be happier to bring in new player/s via the trade table, with the draft a secondary option

Draft picks in 12 months time are likely to hold much greater value

Maybe she can rotate with Scheer as a mid and forward.

Not overly concerned that we're parting ways with Keryk though.

I agree this is a very diluted draft picks are not worth much and you are seeing this with all the player for player trades being done this week.

Really pick 12 this year is worth like a r2/3 most years. Given keryk is really largely depth for us now and while i love her workrate she plays a position thats quite replaceable, keryk and a diluted pick for a very good forward is an ok deal. I would have preferred we traded in a 25yo player not a 31yo purely for the age profile of the list but surman is a good player.

Just can not keep up with W/AFL nothing is ever the same

Maddy's retired

Maddy McMahon to Retire from AFLW

Maddy McMahon has retired from the AFLW after four years with the Cats

www.geelongcats.com.au

 

[cats_09]

Georgia & Kalani have been delisted

We now officially have no Clarke on a Geelong FC playing list

Cats Make Two Changes to AFLW List

Geelong has informed Georgia Clarke and Kalani Scoullar they will not be offered contracts for Season 8

www.geelongcats.com.au

 

[Willo_]

as much as it is a shame that Maddy didn't want to come back after a year away, the other side for that is that Gunjaca had a great year and thrived in the role down back so effectively we have already replaced Maddy anyway

The other 2 are no loss really, same as Keryk... I reckon she would have been delisted if not traded anyway

 

[OzeSparky]

Surman looks like a nice kick. Think she will probably take gardiners spot.
Plummer will slot into the backline or Featherstone.
McDonald could earn her stripes too.

 

[Geminicatz01]

I loved watching Maddy play and it's sad to see her go but yep Gunja has been really good down there.

[winty]

Not sure how I feel about this.

 

[cats_09]

Another trade...

Sad to see Laura go, as she hadn't seemed to really hit her straps at AFLW level compared with what we saw from her at VFLW... But pick #1 in return is nice

Agreed - she didn't seem to be more than a good ordinary player, at least at AFLW level. Would pop up and do some good things every now and then, but from a team / list perspective, nothing we probably can't cover? And #1 - even in a supplementary draft - is very useful.

 

[cats_09]

Not sure how I feel about this.

It's a tough one - never like losing young talent, but there's others I'd be more frustrated to lose compared with Gardiner

Agreed.

To get the #1 pick, even in a comprimised draft, for a player who can't break into our starting midfield is a great result.
I honestly though Gardiner was a prime candidate to leave under the PSP.

And she could have done so to Sydney during that period and even though the compo would have been for a non-compromised draft, I'm not sure it would have been a first round pick
