Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW - Contracted or uncontracted?
Last post by kruddler -
It's great to lock Mimi away but it's also part of a trend towards longer deals for the AFLW girls.  Good to see us taking advantage of the move to multi-year contracts.

Its been a long time coming. Up til the last 12 months or so, you could only give 1 and 2 year contracts.

Which is why we've had the eyes picked out of our list and mass exodus of talent playing elsewhere......well, its not the only reason, but it could've been avoided with longer contracts.

Hill, Skepper, Moody, Sherar....all locked in until 2027. Thats a midfield you can build around.
Now to work out the rest.

Mitchell has been a liability this season.  Losing him would probably help their chances.

I wonder if they’ll bite the bullet and drop Sidebottom 🤔 We’ll probably play him back into form.

Vossy’s response to our profligate play on Saturday suggests that our players will have a hard week.  It won’t be “bring your mouthguards” but there will be some honest feedback and clarification of roles and expectations.
They will miss Mitchell, being doing the grunt work alone with Adams gone and he compliments their other mids imho.
If Sidebottom gets to run around on his own like he usually does when we play him he will get back into form...
Lachie OSullivan from Werribee will replace Mitchell, tough honest old fashioned VFA/VFL footballer but wont know what hit him with Cripps, Walsh and crew waiting for him....
Blues by plenty providing we man up correctly and dont try silly matchups like Cowan on Hill or Elliott or Similar...

De Goey and Mitchell both ruled out by McRae.

Gives us a bit of an edge in the midfield for sure. Great if we get Cerra back but I'd like to have McGovern down back this week too just to settle things down a bit.

If Cerra comes in, probably won't be too many other changes.
