Re: AFLW 2021 trade and draft period - DRAFT NIGHT
Reply #81 –
We signed free agent from Sturt in SA today: a ruck who is mates with Kerryn Harrington: Jessica Good
183 cm tall and a little older.
There is our ruck.
Imogen Milford, Paige Trudgeon and Serena Gobbs can fight it out for the marking key forward spot.
The others to replace Chloe Dalton, I guess.
No guarantee that Mimi Hill will be right to play for the season either.
I am a little happier than I was on Draft Night. It does look like we've addressed some of our areas of weakness from the 2021 season. Have we done enough? Have we chosen correctly? Far too early to tell. Our AFLW recruiting has generally been pretty good, but even a good bunch can make disastrous errors.
Jess is 185cm and 26 years old Crash, and looks to be very strong too. I understand that she played with Adelaide Lightning alongside Kerryn Harrington so an elite sportswoman too.
I reckon that we've done alright with our list changes but time will tell.
