Trade latest: Tiger becomes a Bomber
ESSENDON has landed a surprise acquisition, trading in Richmond small forward Kodi Jacques.
In return, the Tigers gain the Bombers’ second round selection (currently pick No.27) for the upcoming Supplementary Draft.
Jacques is an inaugural Tiger who came through the club’s VFLW program and Bendigo Thunder.
The 22-year-old – who can also rotate through the midfield if required – has played 26 games over her three AFLW seasons, but struggled to hold her spot as the Tigers rose up the ladder, appearing in four of a possible 12 games in season seven.
The Tigers had only made two list changes up until this point – delisting Hannah Burchell and the retirement of Courtney Wakefield – and now sit at 31 players, one over the limit.
Current Tigers Harriet Cordner has been linked to Carlton, Maddy Brancatisano is likely to move to Gold Coast, while two forwards – Caitlin Greiser and Courtney Jones – are strong chances of landing at Punt Road, meaning there’s a chance the Tigers won’t enter the draft.
For the Bombers, Jacques is the second signing of the player movement period, after securing defender Brooke Brown from North Melbourne through the PSP. Their list is at 32, and also needs to come down to 30.
