I’d argue our three most important re-signings for us.
Charlie is huge. D’Arcy is coming off an injury probably lowered her stocks, but I thought they’d sign together or leave together. Glad they stayed. (And put women’s social media team is basically built around their friendship).
McLaughlin is a lowkey name but super important. All our dash starts with her, and she can hopefully only get better.
Not disappointed she had a very poor year. Not sure if she’s done or not but she fell away pretty quickly on previous output
An amazing day for the women’s program
I’m going to say it again
Well done Sesseyaro

Judging by a few of the girls insta stories, Tara was much loved and a core element to the club culture. I wonder if she really wanted out or if it was Fiona club directed ?

Going by this, she was looking at possibly leaving earlier in the year.
"Bohanna had been exploring a trade home to Victoria for months but only lodged a trade request to join Carlton after the Suns sacked Joyce as coach with two years remaining on his contract."
Not sure what to take from it. Was she always gonna leave to come back to vic for whatever reason, and the sacking was the turning point? Was it just a coincidence? Hard to say.
Who becomes captain now? Charlie?
Jamie Stanton for captain
Hey Jen, not having a go, cause I always look forward to your posts and please keep them coming, and I know you're only repeating an article, BUT honestly who the f*ck cares..............she's moved on, and I wish her well, and the Suns AFLW need to do the same............move forward and look forward.....the only thing you get from looking back....is a sore neck
After all, the Vic media have us in BIG trouble.....and they always get it right.
................top 3 in BF just re-signed.....experienced Mid from VIC has joined us......and a couple of top Academy girls on their way.....all that's needed now is an experienced coach and we can stop being in TURMOIL.......The Gold Coast Suns are in turmoil with their AFLW captain exploring a trade and coach Cam Joyce was sacked with two years left on his contract.

From the football side, it was hard to play both Dupay and Bohanna in the same team. One power forward is enough.
The W game is speeding up, both ball movement and also teams putting more of their good runners behind the ball at half back to get some rebound. Got to slow that down or you get blown open (as we know all too well from last season).

There were times where we had Bohanna, Dupoy and Davies all up front plus Bella out there rucking.
Bohanna in particular is putrid when the ball is on the ground.
To me she was a non playing Captain last season.
Should have been sitting in the stands.
Next season we have to fit in Havana Harris as well.
Paying credit where it’s due and so far she’s making good moves.
It was the sacking. Under another Coach she doesn’t make the team.

Ha ha yes I noticed that. I’m sure she’d love to hear my feedback.
Courtney Jones has just been delisted from Richmond. Could we try and get her back? Delisted Free Agent?

Kinda defeats the purpose why she lefted in the first place.

HAVANA HARRIS
Position: Ruck/forward/midfielder
Height: 182cm
From: Queensland, Gold Coast Academy/Bond Uni/Burleigh
A truly rare talent, it's not uncommon to see Harris meander to the centre circle and not be sure if she's about to take the ruck or line up as a midfielder. Has the strength and size to have an immediate impact at AFLW level, in a similar vein to Matilda Scholz, but is arguably quicker than the rising Port Adelaide star. Her pace and agility – in conjunction with her strength – sets her apart.
Where could she go?
Whoever is appointed to Gold Coast's vacant coaching job is in for a treat. Expect the bid for Harris to come at picks two, three or four, with the Suns to match with 19.
MIA SALISBURY
Position: Midfielder
Height: 169cm
From: Queensland, Gold Coast Academy/Bond Uni
A tenacious mid-sized inside midfielder who thrives in the stoppages, and is a strong clearance player. She uses the ball well, and makes good decisions both with and without the footy.
Where could she go?
There's a suspicion that Essendon will bid on Salisbury with pick No.8, in which case Gold Coast – which will have already used 19 on Harris – won't be able to match with 27. If the bid comes at the Bombers at 11, Gold Coast should have the picks to match.
Tara Harrington, Queensland/Gold Coast/Bond Uni. Tough clearance midfielder who is likely to end up at the Suns, barring an early bid that can't be matched.
Heidi Talbot, Queensland/Gold Coast/Bond Uni. Smaller utility with elite speed and agility, run-and-carry player with strong defensive traits. From Cairns. Has received plenty of attention from rival clubs in recent weeks, and a bid is on the cards.
