I thought the exact same thing.

Poppy Scholz farken. I think the draft happens in December

Open draft now isn't it? So Poppy (and India Rasheed) may be long gone by our first pick.

Dunno about Poppy but we definitely won't be getting Zippy Fish. Shes expected to go top 3.

Great name that - I used to like Roxy Roux, but I think her star has dimmed in recent seasons after she defected across town from Freo to WCE.

So when do list changes/delistings start to happen?

You would think Alex Ballard, Jasmin Stewart, Maddy Keryk, Jas Simmons the most under the pump, Maybe age wise Ange Foley, Hannah Dunn to continue as a mum? and dare I say it Hannah Ewings, does she have what it takes mentally to take this sport seriously, would be a damn shame if it ends for her with her talent and young age

Alex Ballard and Jas Simmons are as good as gone. Maddy Keryk and Jas Stewart, the jury is still out.

Ange Foley will be 36 by the start of next season so she could retire and even be pushed out. She did lose her spot in the side late in the season (managed) and only got back in when Abbey Dowrick was a very late withdrawal against GWS. Hannah Dunn will be 34 by the start of next season and will be coming off a year of no footy, but she might be considered stiff to get de-listed right after giving birth.

Georgie Jaques has been on the list for two seasons and hasn't played a game, although an ACL did contribute to that.

Hannah Ewings though is a real mystery.

Do we need to delist another 2 because we’re keeping Wendland & Germech?

Not sure about that, hope not.

I tend to agree with names you have suggested. We have 33 on list currently and need to have 30. Not sure how many are compulsory to pick up in draft but I was thinking minimum 3.
So at least 6 to go so I think maybe
Ballard
Dunn
Ewings
Keryk
Miller
Simmons
After that probably Foley or Stewart

Abbey Dowrick for back-to-back B&Fs? If not then it’d have to be Scholz.

Scholz only hit real form at the start of the win streak, and its not a long season. Dowrick started the year at lunch and finished at dinner. I think she'll win again

 

[EskimoPAFC]

If there is any chance of Ewings getting back to her best, you keep her on the list. Ceiling still insane.

With all due respect to some of those others mentioned, I can't see many of them playing in a flag. I could see Ewings leading us to a premiership.

 

[Amarula]

Does anyone know what the chances are of Ewings coming back?

I don't think I saw her once singing the club song at the end of a game with the rest of the team but I was only watching on TV. I did not attend any games so I cannot tell if she was at the ground either.

Hopefully she sees how much this group has improved and wants to be involved.

The last time we saw Hannah was for the Pride guernsey launch as she designed it with Dowrick. That was early October.

I don't think she's coming back.

as big of a mystery is why hasn't the media/press conferences asked about her total absence (club directive?)
Hannah's gone from AFLW Rising Star/club champion '22 - poor form & match unfit '23 - to barely sighted but play listed in '24
Okay fair enough her playing condition was unacceptable, the cause? is it mental health, personal/family issues, desire, discipline? I wish there was some kind of statement, we are a sympathetic bunch always there for support but the deafening silence makes it hard and frustrating

I don't think it's any of our business what has gone on with Hannah. At the end of the day, she will either commit or be let go, and that's okay for me.

And I think it's great that we haven't had any sort of news on Hannah, it means there is a chance she comes back.

yeah you're right, after I posted I thought pretty much what you wrote, we are all rooting for what's best for Hannah

 

[Grave Danger]

What became of Byron's daughter? There were expectations about her in the lead up to our AFL admission, but it never happened. Is she still playing footy in SA (or elsewhere), or has her life taken another direction?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I know there was some hot weather around, which affected crowds in the finals, but Port's crowd of 5,172 against Richmond was the biggest crowd of the 8 finals before the Grand Final. Next best was Freo's 4,934 QF against Essendon.

Every final had the away team travel from another state, so there was an apples for apples crowds comparison in the first 3 weeks.

 

[Powerade 08]

I guess no news is good news with Ewings, considering all the other changes
