Trade, Draft and list changes 2024

I hope that we do, but didn't we delist Lily Pearce who also did an ACL?

Bit different. She joined us as a replacement player for Steph Williams who was put on the inactive list ahead of the 2023 season. She was then delisted at the end of the season without playing a game. She didn't do her ACL with us, that happened after she joined Geelong this year.

What will it take to entice her out of there? it would have to be pretty good reason for a dual club champion to move. Gold Coast did have a poor year but also have a bright future. I could name 6 - 8 on their 2024 academy list that are going to be playing in that team in 2 years time.

It would take a bit. It's not just going to be an AFLW top tier contract that entices her and I don't know what Charlie's ambitions are but Mon Conti and Katie Brennan joined us on the back of what Richmond could offer away from football and its worked very well for them. Perhaps it might be similar for Charlie. At the moment she is almost hidden up at the Gold Coast. Maybe that's what she wants but her "brand" could be massive at the right club with the right contacts.

Yes, and Geelong have delisted her as well a couple of weeks ago.

I'm in Egan leaves us "one good mid player short".
Give Rowbottom Brennan's contract $.

would it be rude to ask KB to play for less....signed until 2026.

The speed of the game going up a few notches hasn't helped I guess . Grace was never quick. That was never her go. Stats wise 2024 was her 2nd best season behind 2023.

We usually do well out of trades with Gold Coast. Can we trade for Charlie Rowbottom? She is exactly what we need.

Would love that trade -chances are about as good as me dating Bo Derek though (I know, showing my age )

Love to look at those stats in effective sense, cos that's the rub! It the dead set clangers and howlers that undoes some of her better work. It's just about getting better - not creating an easy target.

So we delisted a player that came into our side for the elimination final? Why?!
Elimination Final: Available players to come into the side.
Courtney Jones, Molly Eastman?, Laura McClelland, Charley Ryan, Charli Wicksteed, Stella Reid, Jemima Woods (now delisted) and Imogen Brown.

Reasonable question, it's not like it was a bad game, it just wasn't a good game either. And if you have to weigh up between Reid and Eastman - I reckon I'm going Eastman on balance - unless there are really important mitigating circumstances we do not know about.

Eastman finished on the bench and was listed as injured. Played 59%

Other thing I noticed in S7 2022 she was the leading possesion winner for Sydney for the year but came 7th in the BnF.

Maybe she couldn’t stay on Tier 3 payments. It’d be pretty tough.
But to make it to the highest level and play 3 seasons is a pretty good achievement.

Think she'll be picked up - again, unless an injury exists.

It's the most important game of the year, not a home and away game.
Apart from Maddie Shevlin with 13, Eastman had 19 points (the lowest on ground). Eastman is 26, so that would have helped.

At only 26, she'll get picked up a depth - I mixed up Jones and Eastman's ages last week, Jones is the one who is 24, Eastman 26.

Interesting what players do for the ultimate success - just ask Cotchin!

Yep, the kids who can look beyond footy, and I don't mean when they finish, but beyond the game itself, are the ones who have a chance of building fascination careers.
