She'll be 34 by the time she even thinks about returning to footy.

Yeah she will still be back though
Did Ashley sharp ever play again after getting pregnant? Obviouslt Turbo is a lot different, but it can take a long time for the body to get back to what it was.

Best of luck, Turbo, you ****en beauty.
Yeah mate, she played waflw
Then she walked away from footy to raise her kids
Edit: turbo already has a kid I believe, so I doubt she is gonna walk away, also she is absolutely elite in training standards and driven enough to win a league b and f
Daisy Pearce did have twins and came back. Hopefully turbo has a couple more seasons left in her

Good on her but a huge loss for this year.
Roll on the Zippy Fish cup!

I did kinda forget we picked up McCarthy, Newts and Brazil
Bowers actually a massive loss this year then
Brazill is already like 34 so might only last a season or 2 here

My theory with Brazill is a year or 2, but the end goal is to coach.

Dana Hooker was back playing football within 3 weeks of giving birth... but Bowers is going to wait 13 months before even thinking about it??
AFLW Standards have gotten higher since then but yeah I don't expect her to be 13 months out of footy at all
I think she was just ready to come home and settle but yeah coaching after does make sense
Forgot that they changed the start date of the season to August. I still had end of the year in my head so there would’ve been 12 months between giving birth and the next season starting
Losing Bowers is not good at all.
Could look at it from a diminishing returns perspective I suppose. That's she's another year older and slightly more likely to perform further away from her peak and have more injury time.

Is Gabby Newton injured?
Noticed on the Insta feed she's running with Ebs ( i think) and the shot from full training is of her walking

Draft Diaries: Meet WA speedster Zippy Fish
Draft prospect and East Fremantle Sharks midfielder Zippy Fish discusses coming to football later in life and joining the National Academy for 2024.
www.afl.com.au
the first kid was given birth by her partner Adele so this is Kiras first birth. so depending on how she goes with all that will depend whether she returns
Interesting thought but I don't think we have to worry too much about her going to another club
the rebuild continues i guess since i glory days of 2020..
going to be awhile i think until we are at that level. we lost too many good players

What I liked most from that was the realisation that if you need someone to take a mark inside fifty and then kick the goal you're inviting mistakes, so take the shot at goal running to the F50 arc and kick it yourself.
Even if you miss the side can structure for pressuring it and locking it in. The dropped mark and spillage is a chaos outcome because it's usually right in the corridor and everyone is out of position - running hard on the rebound against you.
Good.
