She still trys her best but must be carrying a bad injury Club needs to be honest and take some heat off her and maybe with the season shot needs a rest and prepare for next year
Keep her on the same salary, but add tackling coach to her playing role.
Although, we'd probably want them to learn how to keep their feet while tackling, which Bowers aint great at.

Pew pew gets to 50! 
AFLW sign, trade and draft details confirmed
The AFL has confirmed several key dates for the AFLW competition, including the sign and trade period, the draft and the W Awards
www.afl.com.au
"Off the back of a landmark CBA, players can sign 12-month minimum contracts without a cap on maximum terms."
Having lost a bunch of (I'm assuming) tier 2/3 players over the last 2 seasons, surely there's scope for us to lure 1 or 2 talents * cough * Ella Roberts * cough * with the offer of a second tier contract.
Does anyone know, btw, where to find info about AFLW list management regulations? How many 2nd and 3rd tier players can a side have, for example? Does the tier system still operate even?

About time.
Looks like we may be seeing how the depth goes now, while still being mildly competitive.
Interesting to see what the off season looks like
They're keeping the National Draft option, probably going to lose a few WA girls to that, noone wants to stick around with the bottom of ladder teamsAFLW sign, trade and draft details confirmed

The default number of players per tier is 2-6-6-16. However, clubs can rearrange it as they wish, so long as a) the TPP still adds up the same, and b) they don't have more than three Tier 1 players.AFLW sign, trade and draft details confirmed

There is no way Ella Roberts will be on anything less than a Tier 1 contract next year. The question is how much West Coast, and any other suitor, will be willing to offer in ASAs (noting 2024 is the last season in which the top 2 players at each club can be paid unlimited money in ASAs).
Then there's also the question of whether an interested club has anything sufficient to trade for her.
List management rules can be found in the CBA, which is on the AFLPA website.
If Roberts is out of contract and by chance nominated Freo, the required trade capital would be a couple of our first draft picks really. Anything else on top of that would only be in keeping with good working relationships.
The WC have had such a sweet ride (at Freo's expense) as far as drafting goes, I'd feel zero obligation to go further than the minimum.

Miller, probably nobody else.
Antonio (the only other current player with multiple Top 3 club B&F finishes, see below) exploring her options after S6, and Paxman considering a move to Fremantle after S7, suggests the third Tier 1 spot is being kept vacant.

Thanks for this. I was only wondering about Roberts not being on a T1 because I know that WC basically bought Franklin with "significantly more" than Freo could offer, which suggests T1 plus extras. Wonder what's going to happen once the ASA limits kick in?
Like Taylor, I'm hoping/expecting the bulk years option to allow a bit of room to shake things up, and fantasising about it allowing Freo to give some payback for Franklin ... and Steph Cain, who I still think is our biggest loss since the start of the expansion.
Unfortunately our first two draft picks wouldn’t be anywhere near enough to get Roberts.
And I don’t think the AFL would want to weaken WC any further so they wouldn’t assist in making it happen.
