AFLW West Coast Womens 2024

[AlphaSheep]

For those who haven't seen the draftees play, here's Molly's (pretty limited) highlight real. 180cm, elite midfield skills, goes like a rocket.



And here's Zippy (also pretty limited, she's made far better plays than this in the WAFLW).



Rookie Me doesn't have Rasheed's highlights up yet, but SANFLW does.

Any chance Zippy slides due to her size?

Maybe a bigger bodied player suits us better anyway.

Of course, it's also possible that Sydney and GWS rate O'Hehir and Rasheed higher than Fish. In which case, Carlton taking McKay, we'll get Zippy. Best outcome for me, but I'd be thrilled with any of those three.

I hope this happens. Fish would be great.
Prefer Fish then O'H (local girls) and don't have to worry about being away from home.

Yes to Zippy. Her U18 champs weren't great, the WA team was struggling, just like a lower-ranked AFLW team will be, and it was hard for her to find space. And Gowans was apparently saying Sydney will try to draft tall players, which means they'll take either O'Hehir or Rasheed.

GWS are short of forward options, might prefer Rasheed. Which leaves Carlton, again, and if they stick with McKay. If so, Zippy could slip to 6th.

There's precedent. Mon Conti slipped to 4th in 2017, behind Izzy Huntington, Steph Cain and Chloe Molloy. I laughed then, and I'll laugh again if Zippy drops into our lap.

It's possible.

I have Centra and Harris as locks for the first two names called out.
I rate Rasheed next best. ( I rate her at Ella Roberts level talent )

Then it will depend on Club needs and preferences so its then a choice from:

Zippy Fish, Molly O'Hehir and Sara Howley IMO.

Hurts to see yet another one of our ex Irish players leave and become an absolute weapon at another club but we always rated Ash Mac I guess. Are we like the ONLY club not to have an Irish player atm? I reckon we should target the Gaelic league this off season for sure.

Id be fine with Zippy, though her foot skills are not as polished as I'd like them to be and she is a little on the small side (less of an issue given her agility and speed) but I think I'd prefer Rasheed at this juncture
