Young the first one to be announced, my advice to her would be to make sure it’s a one-year deal… Port probably already begging the AFL for salary cap relief so they can try to put her on tier 1 payments straight away.

AFL.com.au has just reported Brooksby signed with Port
Best not to think about it, just an absolute shithouse rule/system implemented by a crappy bit-part offshoot organisation.
If we win the flag this year, we should be sending Goodwin out to chat with each of those girls to let them know just how much their career can benefit from moving across town.
No, still there.

Waiting for the AFL to announce the ‘Dad has a strong connection to an AFL club’ rule for expansion clubs so Port can sign India Rasheed pre-draft next year as well.
Nothing would surprise me with that mob.

Well this answers that question
Grigg nominated for the national draft
Window and Boileau nominated for the SA draft
Interesting for Grigg! Hopefully we can keep her in SA, either with us, or at Port causing another SA player to slide.
Meanwhile, we have the chance to look abroad at some national talent. I'm less concerned about the go-home factor when the players self-nominate for the national draft.
Whilst not at the same disappointment levels of a member of the Window SA footballing lineage wearing Port colours it’s disappointing to see Grigg nominate National, probably not the greatest fit into the Crows team out of the top SA talents but given all the others have been given to Port it’s another annoyance that she’ll be gone well before the Crows pick.
So Brooke Boileau will be our pick you’d imagine, it will continue the club’s South Adelaide attachment, read a good summation of her as a player in a mock draft I saw on Twitter/X;
I’ll add she also plays beyond her years - when you see her play you don’t think she’s as young as she is, don’t know if she’s thrown into the deep end right away though given Doc Clarke likes to keep younger players out on the flanks preferring experienced bodies in the heat of the kitchen. I’ll also disagree with the midfield isn’t a major need part, Clarke would surely know this given he literally had to move his best forward into the main midfield rotation given the lack of dynamism and depth in that area of the field. Boileau does tackle well and runs both ways so hopefully longterm can play a part in fixing that midfield mix as that all-out ball attack trio of Hatchard, Marinoff & Ponter did get exposed in the finals.
Write up from Under 18
#27 Brooke Boileau (South Adelaide)
28/01/2005 | 170cm | Midfielder
Stats: 21.3 disposals, 2.7 marks, 5.0 tackles, 4.7 clearances, 3.7 inside 50s, 1 goal, 1 behind
Winning the third most disposals of any player in the South Australian team, the inside midfielder was rock solid consistent yet again. Her 2023 season has hardly had a dip, and she became the prominent inside midfielder alongside Goody. After missing out on playing last year, Boileau has made up for lost time and her numbers of 21.3 disposals, 5.0 tackles, 4.7 clearances and 3.7 inside 50s should put her name in contention for the All-Australian team.

Gould and Prowse with big offers in front of them to go to Bulldogs.
Bulldogs are one of the few clubs that finished behind Port. Any pick we get from them puts us ahead of the corresponding selection from Port.

This could be horrible, there’s hardly any tall timber anywhere around the country and the Crows hardly have any to begin with let alone of the talent levels of Gould and Prowse. The club has to try everything to make those two stay.
McKinnon leaving is already annoying as it leaves the team exposed for support in the ruck and could stop the ability to play Gould permanently forward (if she’s still there), she has faults with disposal but the team never got the best out of her as a player, her marking ability is going to be especially missed.
Literally don’t know if there’s any ruck replacements around, Erin McKinnon got delisted by the Saints but is not near the player she was when she was GWS’ ruck before moving to St Kilda, probably more likely to retire.
If the unimaginable happens and they lose Gould or Prowse or both & the Crows end up with pick 1 from the Dogs it will force them to either go local and go best available in Piper Window or look to replace what they’ve lost & go the only real tall option in the top 10 and that would be Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner from Vic who is a hybrid speedy x-factor 178cm tall.
Only tall SA U/18 option would be South Adelaide’s Jacinda Schunselaar a 180cm ruck who has some good movement, I was keen on her with a later pick anyway. Mature ager, 27 year old Isabelle Starmer from North Adelaide who I wanted this year instead of Bonner is also an option if they look to fill needs later in the draft, is 177cm and has played a fair bit of ruck. Alex Pearce from Sturt is 24 and stands at 183cm & could be a bit of a late developer, think South Adelaide’s main ruck Soriah Moon is unlikely as she’s 30 but did train with the Crows.

Could have lots of picks in front of them depending on the Gould/Prowse situation, even if Gould & Prowse stay Port are after Kirsty Lamb from the Dogs & they’ll probably have to trade their 1st pick (#4) for her so if that goes through the Crows could get Piper Window with Richmond’s pick 9 that they’ll hopefully get for McKinnon.
Is she any good? She's been in and out of Freo's side for years but I'm not sure if that's form or injuries.
I'm hoping it's more of a tactic to get pushed up a payment tier. Gould in particular probably deserves it.
Thought as soon as it was announced Roux was leaving Freo thought the Crows might be sniffing around, the Gould/Prowse stuff automatically confirmed my suspicions.
As a player is an undersized marking forward (170cm), when she first burst on to the scene she had one of the best vertical jumps, read the ball nicely in the air and was was able to finish ok but every season since though the output got progressively worse.
Was screwed around a bit by the Dockers by being moved to different parts of the ground and trying to play her as backup ruck but also does struggle to bring her best attitude to games, very much an enigma and just disappears and hardly gets near the ball for long periods of time. Had some fiery encounters with some West Coast players from memory too.
Very much a take a punt on the player working in your system if you can’t attract any other current AFLW player, I’d prefer Zara Walsh the SA under 18 forward who’s a bit taller and a lot faster as think Roux as a player has never grasped her chances.
