Women's Footy AFLW Fremantle - 2020 #1 Team - Season Cancelled

[Gekko71]

Heard Suma interviewed for the role..but missed out

No surprise there, the better woman won.

 

[Schauermann]

Can we play them against Geelong?

 

[Clems Knee]

There is a longer interview with Michelle Cowan on the FremantleFC website. We are very fortunate to have her.

It's great news, the women have got Michelle Cowan as their coach.

 

[Talking Dockers]

She interviewed very well yesterday(July 16th) On Talking Dockers 91.3 sportfm. as you would expect from a seasoned performer.
I think the Womens side has avery good chance to snag our first bit of silverware sooner than latter.

I heard SA have got a female player to move from WA to over there.

It now looks like WA is going to be gutted. NSW, and SA might both have 2 WA marque players, with another 1 or 2 going to Vic.

Romoured losses are Chelsae Randall. Renee Forth, Kara Donellan, Emma Swanson, Kellie Gibson.

Players were being flowen over East, given tours, offered Jobs, and pay more than the $25k.

Hope Freo has a plan in place.

Formal announcements of marque positions tomorrow.

Thanks for this. Surely Fremantle will have made counter offers? I wonder who our marquees are? Not the five you mention?

I have heard that Kara Donellan is gone, but also that she is staying with Freo.

Traub-Frederick and King are the two i hope we contract.

 

[freo_leo29]

Wow so most of our elite talent has been raided, kind of disappointing tbh

I guess there are only so many players we can offer jobs too and with the limit of 2 marquee players the girls will be getting much bigger paychecks elsewhere.

 

[freo_leo29]

Just watching the livestream and literally every team except carlton has raided the wa talent, most teams have picked 2 WA players lol
No chance we are going to be a powerhouse now

[rgauci]

Damn, I thought we could have kept more.

 

[Frank J Moose]

Of the 16 players 8 are from WA 7 from Vic and 1 from Queensland. It's clear the competition mantra is firce WA people to move to other parts of Australia.

It will be interesting how many local WA players choose to nominate for other states draft.

 

[rgauci]

Who are Freo's marquee players?

 

[jatz14]

Who are Freo's marquee players?

Kara Donellan and Kiara Bowers. Would be interesting to know if they were first choice, or what was left over.

[Unique Name]

Two midfielders.

 

[freo_leo29]

Would have thought we could atleast get the number 1 and 2 talent from WA with Michelle Cowan on board...
Randall was the clear number 1 I think but choseto move to adelaide

 

[ImperialPurple]

Did Sabrina Traub get picked up?

 

[Tonga Bob]

Did Sabrina Traub get picked up?

Yep by Brisbane

 

[wayToGo_]

It's fine. Our two choices are good and WA has plenty of depth.

Did you see WA v Bulldogs? Randall was poor in that game.

Also she's played 9 games in the past two years so i wouldn't call her the standout.

I would have had King as my first pick. Quality rucks are hard to find.
Donnellan was WA captain and Bowers 4 time Dhara Kerr medallist is a very good player.

That's crap. Hoped she'd come to Freo.

King would have been my choice to. Decent rucks currently toughest spot to fill in women's footy

Going by the write up they appear to be very good picks and hardly left overs. Bowers is a 4 times best and fairest in the WA comp!! both midfielders and everyone knows you start with a strong midfield.
