Re: AFLW silly season - trade period starts 7/12/23 Reply #16 – December 12, 2023, 11:12:38 am We've lost a whole heap of talls, or players that play tall.All out...McWilliamsMilfordTrudgeonand Laloifi who often played CHB for us.Its good to get a genuine tall in. It also gives us plenty of versatility with what we have.Now with Good and Moody (x2) we have 1 for each area, forward, back and ruck (midfield) and they can switch about as required. 1 Likes

Another pre-season and she it likely to string together whole games.

Seems to be a trend in the AFLW: borderline players leave for greener pastures, often before they've had a chance to develop. Probably one of the reasons for it is the lack of long term deals that a club can make. Only recently have there been ANY long term deals possible, which does nothing for player retention.Gold Coast Suns receive: Two second-round picks (currently No.35 and No.38)North Melbourne receives: A second-round pick (currently No.27)

No matter what the assertions are, AFLW is very different from AFL. Some aspects of AFLW still seem very semi-professional, which always exposes itself as a chicken and egg debate when you talk dollar$ and contracts.If AFL was like AFLW, we'd have the McKay twins in house with the Hollands, Fisher and Cripps would be a package deal, Setterfield would still be at Carlton.

Re: AFLW silly season - trade period starts 7/12/23 Reply #24 – December 16, 2023, 10:40:48 am West Coast have selected Jess Hosking as a delisted free agent. Nice to see Jess continue her career. I wasn't happy when the twins abandoned us.
