Wow, now Yassir still doesn’t want to stay if Beveridge is to be believed.

Culture seems to be off. It’s not like Yassir’s interstate and wanting to return to her home town or anything. In fact, she seems to prefer trying to go anywhere else but us right now.

We’re likely to end up losing two solid players. Sucks and questions need to be asked.

On Yassir, it depends what contract she has been offered though? If another club is offering a fair bit more, why shouldnt she leave? Its not like we are anywhere near challenging for a flag.

If we are offering a similar contract, then yes, there is clearly a culture problem. You would assume the culture is set by KB and Mon and has been from the beginning. So IF there is a culture problem with the playing group, they should be the two everyone looks at.

Agree, before we call the sky as falling and berating everything for the sake of sounding outraged, there needs to be some time and understanding. I've said a couple of times, this is not a full-time role, like the blokes, and they also have Managers working for them (and sometimes for themselves). It's rarely as bad as it seems, and sometimes not as good you hoped!

Someone probably called her overweight and unfit. They wouldn’t be wrong..

Gen Z are soft as shite. Can’t handle any slight criticism

It's not necessarily the playing group itself. Perhaps there is something going on with the coach, or the general club.

As you said, I agree that contract matters and it's definitely a high possibility that this is the reason. However, I do wonder why Essendon would be able to satisfy her contractually more than us.

I actually don't know the answer to why she is requesting a trade, but I'll be honest, I have a bad gut feeling about it.

Let's hope we smash the draft next week to keep us competitive next year. I don't want us losing any more necessary talent.

I just cant see us being competitive to be honest with the top tier teams, we were middle of the field as it was & can't see us being better now. There were no serious injuries apart from our recruit from Adelaide. I just cant see our weakened midfield & an ordinary forward line being competitive. I can only see us going backwards at the moment, which is so disappointing.

Piss poor List management, we re holding onto players like hosko who are done and likely occupying a tier that millzy could be on ,,I don’t doubt there’s several paid in front of sheerin , and that’s not right

I think the silence of sheerin departure from playing group, senior figures in particular is deafening , this tells me she very much drove it and it likely became acrimonious with her status in the pecking order
If she ranked any worse than 2 in the pecking order she has every right to be pissed off. Brennan Gresier, Hosking, Egan, Miller, are all rubbish in comparison
 
I think its time to ditch the tier status in AFLW, if you want it to become competitive as someone mentioned it earlier in this thread. Time to have a proper salary cap that allows everyone an even chance with recruiting & if you are down the bottom of the ladder should allow to have some extra salary cap room to target players required to strengthen your list over the coming years.

Conti posted on her instagram story that she misses her already, I dont follow the other players, but it may not be that bad.

The list build clearly failed and has gone as far as it can, we are probably 2-3 guns short of challenging for a flag and have no way of adding them. If we have to take a step backwards and free up space for the future, not resigning a 32 year old on a decent contract isnt the worst thing.

We now wont play finals next year, but probably wouldnt have made it again anyway. The hope in the next 5 years would be Ellie doing a Dusty and suddenly becoming the best player in the comp.

Nice to see a balanced approach to what has happened. I think we are all stunned with Sheerin going, she was certainly my favourite player and will be a huge loss. However Fox are reporting that she wanted to go to North because she is very good friends with their recently appointed head of football. This probably explains why she knocked back strong offers from Sydney and GWS. Surely North couldn’t afford to pay her more than those clubs so I don’t think money was the motivation. Yassir also a big shock and it would be disastrous to lose her for nothing. She always seemed happy at the Tigers but maybe strong interest from the club she barracked for as a kid was just too hard to resist. Let’s be honest, wouldn’t we all love to play for the Tigers if we had the chance ??
 
It means that Sheahan is an absolute idiot. Pick 18 for Sheerin is utter madness. She's our best player behind Conti without question.
The Richmond AFLW is complete dogshit run by morons. Sheahan is a peanut. Has to go. RFC are taking the piss here.
Same thing when i seen the article yesterday. She was the reason i watched us play. They ruined her playing up forward your mate sheehan is a flog like her dad been saying she should be there for 3 years. The coach is useless also. Anyway after the seniors season I don't have to watch this crap anyway.

Can’t argue with that , for mine she was a rightful bf winner this year , I thought mon had much quieter year than previous. Guaranteed that the traded in players all came in on premium deals

I follow pretty well the team , conti and millzy only ones that have spoken ,,,period
 
We honestly can’t lose Yassir for nothing we’ll be a laughing stock
Sounds to me way we’ve managed the tpp , she has shot thru , amateur hour . With so many ordinary players , let’s be honest , should have been flipping easy to make space to keep best young players , shaking my head
