Lol?

Could end up being a smart trade by Port. The Bulldogs have pick 22 so any trade we do with them will likely involve that pick. Moving from 25 to 21 lets them get ahead of us. And Duursma was a marginal player at best, especially now that they don't need to keep her brother happy.

Hopefully we're wise to it, and package 22 (if we get it) with a later pick to move up a couple of spots.

Why would we be trading with the Dogs?

That 21 is now probably going to be offered to the Dogs for Lamb.

They're interested in Gould and Prowse apparently.

I guess you're probably right.

Daisy Pearce named as the new head coach of West Coast

Not sure what to make of that. Seems like a great person but has very little experience

Yep She's pretty green but only one way to find out if She's good enough, She can grow with the team and also isn't an already abysmally failed coach

 

[cmndstab]

I guess she couldn't do much worse than what came before her.

 

[Firewalker]

I’m actually surprised one of the Victorian teams who need a coach didn’t go down the same route and actually put in a counter-offer

 

[cmndstab]

Apparently Michelle Cowan being over there helped get it over the line.

Obvious West Coast dont care about womens football

If they did they would have learnt from the failures of Port Adelaide.

Or are they hoping they can get generational players handed to them on a silver platter like Port did?

Lots of male players go on to become coaches... it seems like a logical pathway for the women too. She's been in the system A LONG time... and I think her analysis is not bad. Does she have the people skills to pull it off? Guess we are about to find out.

Lucky she has a mentor as rookie coach. She has done about the same apprenticeship as Nathan Buckley with more media.

And it may well go the same as Bucks did too but perhaps not as much pressure on the women's comp as in the men?... (I think Bucks has a brilliant footy mind, I'd like to see him get another go).

Of course Joel Selwood gets a role. Can't have enough ex-Geelong people in the executive

Don’t see anyone doing it without a pretty solid apprenticeship these days though. Women’s game much less professional at this point, so her skipping coaching development might work out ok.

Has to happen eventually, but I was hoping we'd get to take advantage of the strong SA talent for a bit longer.

It’s going to be a pain over the next few years but like I’ve pointed out before this current SA junior women’s boom we’re experiencing is more a short-term perfect storm and was due to a combination of things including the SANFL being able to run more targeted programs over a smaller area than other states & the performance from the Crows AFLW team which made Women’s football a lot more visible than say in WA, it will correct its self out in the next few years and like with the AFL draft nearly all of the top 25-30 prospects in the country will be from Victoria as population size, quality in talent ID and more well funded & higher quality junior pathways eventually take over.
