That is a solid group of girls to make the core of our team. Granted a couple of girls won't last a lot longer: they are not spring chickens. However, the rest is looking very solid.
The question now is Davey: will she stay or will she go? Go is most likely. What will we get for her? I don't think Collingwood can adequately compensate us for the best player remaining in the competition. But that is another tale.

Good work Kruddler, on this and breaking the news a week before the club!

Is there any update on the Davey trade?

I heard a whisper that after the GF TLR got the news she wasn't to be renewed, and Davey spudded up heading for the departure lounge. Anything in this or is it just rubbish?

If it's true it's a bit of a backwards step for AFLW professionalism. This isn't suburban football, you can't argue for higher wages then act like primary school children! It would be like SOS cracking the sads with Carlton if one of his boys fails to make the grade! It's a professional business, so step one is be professional!

I'm a bit perplexed why the club signs Jess Hosking for two years but Sarah Hosking only one, I'd have valued them the other way around, or perhaps even equal!

I hadn't heard the Davey rumour, but given she was looking to get out last year, i don't think that was a catalyst.
Even if she sooked it up when she heard, that is to be expected somewhat. What is NOT to be expected is once all the initial emotions subside, to continue to sook it up and/or request a trade based on that.

I think there has been plenty of issues with Davey and Collingwood have been chasing her for 2 years now.

As for any updates on the trade....not really.
Pies have released a full list of their re-signings and notable absentees are Sarah Rowe and Ash Brazil.
Rowe will be playing gaelic footy and since the 2020 AFLW season has no actual start date and/or length of season confirmed, its hard for her top commit.
Ditto Brazil and netball. She is signed with the collingwood magpies netball team for 2 more seasons (including 2019).

As for the Hosking anomaly, i said as much in the other thread. Its just weird.

Uncontracted players might have motivation to move or delay!

Quote
The AFL has handed fledgling AFLW sides Richmond and West Coast special draft concessions to help them attract more ready-made talent ahead of the next season of the women's competition.

The Tigers and the Eagles, both new to the competition in 2020, battled in their inaugural season and applied for special assistance earlier in July.

As a result the AFL granted both teams an extra draft pick at the end of the first round (pick No.15 for Richmond and No.16 for West Coast), which must be on-traded to bring in an established player.

Post by: kruddler on July 20, 2020, 05:12:37 pm
That is BS.

Richmond dominated the trade/draft period.

Katie Brennan (Former captain, leading goalkicker at dogs and inaugural marquee player)
Sabrina Frederick-Taub (2x AA and inaugural marquee player)
Monique Conti (B+F winner in premiership year. BOG in grand final. AA)

There are more awards and recognition between those 3 than just about 3 at any club there is.

Yet, they underperformed.

Perhaps they need to look inwards and at their ability to develop their own players?

Just as aside, Ive been following Darcy Vescio on socials.  She would do very well to leave the anti man hating bias out of her arguments.  On sunday she made a rather unsavoury comment that causes division between the genders with respect to search results on google with respect to AFL w.  Some men dont like AFLW.  Not all men.  Dont lump us all in the same category, particularly when the AFL have already guaranteed the AFLW will suffer no adverse affects from the current state of play, and everyone else is left up in the air with respect to their future.

We may see AFL mens list reduced to keep costs down, and players WILL be cutting a haircut in AFL mens.  Not so for AFL W.  I am cognisent they have a way to go, but this was a really poor form comment given the current state of play.

I do understand her target audience for that, was to try and build up females self esteem, but there are ways to do it without rubbishing the men of the world in the process.  You risk alienating them and standing on your own.

Nthmond ignored AFLW from the start.

Now that it's garnishing some commercial interest, they've come in late with a harvester and tried to ravage opposition lists.

Then, after not getting a result via the piracy pillage pathway, they are crying foul to the "Big House" for special concessions.

Parasites would be a mighty description of Nthmond's behaviour!

Reminds me of how they hurriedly launched that half-baked redevelopment plan for Punt Rd Oval, only after they caught wind that our long term proposal for PP redevelopment might actually have legs!

Saw that.

Didn't have the same reaction to you.

I think those of us males who watch it and enjoy it are definitely in the minority. So that message speaks to the majority.
Her whole thing has always been very anti-male.

Given some estimates on the sexuality of the AFLW girls as a whole are very heavily weighted towards same sex inclinations.....its a little more undestandable.

If someone like you or me can their noses out of joint over something like that, imagine what it is like for them to get similar, or most likely worse, comments directed at them on a daily basis. With that in mind, i'm ok with what she said.

If you are in the public eye, you just don't do what Vescio did, you don't lower yourself, you don't generate the canon fodder. It's a debate you can't win because your opponents are full of irrational ideas.

As Thry effectively points out, just gives an opportunity for miscreants to make the claim, "If a man did that....................!"

Many of the people who will react strongly to those comments in social media, are just looking for trouble, so why give them the ammo?

Im more rational than most, but ive been pushed to my limit of late. 

I wasn't one to make jokes about women growing up.  I always thought it were unsavoury and not the aims of treating people equally.
 

The way we reach true equality is to practise equality.  Not this sort of stuff.  Its inflammatory, and will breed the next generation of oppressors only.

Stick to the, "she can, so she did" arguments.  Its much more effective of building up the self esteem of females.

Former Melbourne women’s captain Elise O’Dea could be on her way to Carlton as the Demons look to reinvigorate their AFLW list.

Dual All-Australian O’Dea, 28, is contracted for the 2021 season but weighing up requesting a trade to the Blues ahead of the AFLW sign and trade period which begins on August 3.

She's the type of player we could use, tough mid/HF, but i wouldn't want to give up too much for her.

Here is what we got for giving up Bri Davey (and 2 picks we wouldn't use 60+)
Lucy McEvoy
Brooke Vernon
Serena Gibbs
Courtney Jones

Obviously McEvoy is a gun, Vernon did play, Gibbs and Jones haven't debuted yet.

You could argue that McEvoy is every bit the player Davey is now (or will be) but we'll have her for longer. On top of that we have 3 bonus players.
Would you do that trade in reverse for O'Dea?

Every new draft that comes through, the talent gets better as they have 'grown up' watching the AFLW and training to make it.
Picks are worth more now than ever. I wouldn't want to be giving too many away.

Former Carlton player Sophie Li retired last week too.

She left us for Adelaide and played in their premiership win, against us, on her birthday.

She is now the 4th player to retire from Adelaide this year.
Are their womens side going through something similar to their mens?

We have had no retirements over the same period.

Sarah Hosking looks likely to join Nthmond, rumors are she'll depart our leadership group and enters their's with zero games, perhaps even the captaincy? Surely they aren't that bad they have to import a captain! :o

Whingers are winners, please Mr AFL, we are Nthmond, we ignored AFLW until we realised it's profitable, and now we want all the reward without the hard work, give us more concessions!

Anyway, one of my favourites so I wish her well, just not against us!

Thats disappointing, but in football terms, i don't think we'll miss her.

However, she has her own podcast called "Behind the game changers" in which she interviews teammates and talks about all things Carlton. The last question she asks her guests is "What does it mean to you to be a game changer?" and explains that Carlton refers to the AFLW girls as game changers.
It is very much pro-carlton and pro-sticking together. She refused to acknowledge our former captain by name after she jumped ship. I think it was a directive from the club, as all the girls do it, but it spoke volumes that if you are not one of us, we don't have time for you.

Given all of the above, i don't know how she could live with herself by leaving.

Having said that, she was one of a only a couple who only signed a 1-year deal last year. Of all the ones who did, she had the most talent, even her sister signed for 2. So perhaps its been coming for a while?

Either way, i don't like it.

However her days in navy blue look to be done, with her manager Alex Saundry confirming on Tuesday that Sarah was likely to join Richmond during the AFLW sign and trade period, which begins next month.

The trade is likely to involve the Tigers' end of first-round compensation pick, selection No.15 in the national draft, which is pick No.9 in the Victorian draft.

Quote
While the Blues are likely to lose Hosking, they are set to gain ex-Melbourne skipper Elise O'Dea, who is strongly considering a move to Carlton.

A host of other Demons including Maddy Guerin (also Carlton), Harriet Cordner (Richmond or the Western Bulldogs), Aliesha Newman (Collingwood) and Bianca Jakobsson (St Kilda) have also emerged as serious trade options as Melbourne look to improve their draft position this year.

Given Hosking didn't make the top 10 in our B+F, if we can get pick 15 for her (really pick 9), then that would be a huge win.
Potentially could use that pick on ODea? Although i'd prefer to use it in the draft i think.

Don't know anything about Maddy Guerin though.

Interesting Jakobsson looks to be off to her 3rd club after starting with us originally.

Signed until end of 2021 season



So we've just had an update from the club on the recent signing/extensions.

As you can see from the above, there is 1 name that has not signed on for next year.
We need to take 3 picks into the draft and we have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder.
We have a list size of 30.

From the above list, we have 27 players + 3 picks.

End result....
CHLOE DALTON IS NOT PLAYING!

I'm assuming this is because of her rugby 7's double duty and her chasing a(nother?) gold medal.

But unless i'm missing something (i don't think i am) that is devastating news IMO.

I'd like to see Harris and Vescio extend contracts, particularly because Dalton leaves a bit of a shortfall as she can play quite tall for a 180cm type in addition to being ultra-mobile.

We seem to have a smaller running list, but I don't think it's an accident of trading or draft, it looks deliberate.

I think there is a good reason as to why Vescio and Harris haven't extended their contracts and its got nothing to do with us, or them.

The AFLW player payments are different to the mens. From memory there is 3 or 4 tiers with limited number of players allowed in each tier.
At a guess its something like..
Tier 1 - 2 players
Tier 2 - 4 players
Tier 3 - 8 players
Tier 4 - the rest.

....and each tier has a capped amount.

So at a guess Harris and Vescio would be currently either a tier 1 or tier 2.
I'm not sure the AFL have set a salary cap/player payments scheme for beyond 2021 at this stage. They might want to either change the players allowed in each, or change the overall TPP itself, or any combination of the above.
So for all involved, its probably best to wait it out given both were part of the original marquee players from season 1.

PACEY Carlton midfielder Chloe Dalton will put her AFLW career on hold in 2021, returning to rugby sevens to pursue an Olympic berth.

The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until next year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 27-year-old needs to be based in Sydney until then for training.

Dalton, who finished second in the club's best and fairest this year, will return to the Blues after her Olympic bid, and has signed a contract for 2022.

She previously represented the country at the Rio Games in 2016.

Prespakis, who was crowned the 2020 AFLW best and fairest at just 19 years old, signed a contract extension with Carlton and will be a Blue until at least the end of 2022.

I suspect the AFL has given some direction in terms of contracts from post 2021.

Perhaps we will see a few more extensions now.

This is the list of players currently in limbo, neither delisted, nor contracted for 2022.

I suspect that everyone with #15 and under, as well as Nic Stevens, will be offered a contract relatively quickly.
The others are all worthy of another year on the list, but it depends on what is available both at the draft and via trade.

Would we offer someone like Downie a one year deal to hold a potential KPF position out of the square leaving Vescio and others to be more mobile, or has that ship sailed?
With the picks we have, and the picks we will get from the Harris trade we would either have to delist more players, or forgo a first or 2nd round pick if we re-signed downie.

Not worth it, 18yo kids will be better players nowadays as they have been full time footy players their whole lives rather than converts from other sports

Winnie Laing has been delisted today.

Probably to make room for all of our early draft picks we now have. 5 inside the 2nd round whih equates to 5 inside the top 20 from the vic pool of players.

Downie
Loynes
Harris
Dalton
Edwards
Laing

6 out
1 in - Dal Pos

So 5 picks to use.

Wrapped to get Jess DP. I recall watching a GWS game and to me she was a real stand out with her endeavour, reading of the play and skills, even Mrs Baggers commented on how good she is.

The rest of our girls who were out of contract have all signed on. Most for 2 years, but a couple for 1 more year. 13 in total signed new contracts.

Now we have everyone contracted, and 5 list spots available.
I reckon we'll use 3 picks and maybe pick up a few others in other ways, like delisted free agents, code crossers etc.

Given we have a strong draft hand and given that each year the quality of footballers in the graduating junior cohort keeps going up I doubt we will pick up more than 1 player outside the draft, maybe none.   One experienced player might be worth thinking about. Rocky Cranston might have a point to prove and would be a fairly like for like swap with Harris, whilst the loss we weren't expecting is inside mid Hosking and maybe an experienced hand there would be worth thinking about, but I don't know who there is worth looking at. Alternatively Phoebe Monahan is inside albeit a defender (where Hosking ended up last year) and has a long kick which is handy. AFL site has this article:

https://womens.afl/news/72742/pick-me-t ... ind-a-home

Kaslar is probably not within our age profile, Svarc would offer welcome pace off half back or wing. Forth still only 24 has a wealth of experience and no disgrace to be cut by Adelaide. Any interest in these guys, or anyone else?

We are taking at least 1 outside the draft IMO. Simply because of this....
Quote
7. Collingwood trade selection 26 (on-traded from Richmond) and selection 55 (on-traded from Richmond) to Carlton for selection 29 and selection 32 (on-traded from Melbourne).

8. Carlton trade selection 12 and 27 to the Western Bulldogs for selection 11 and 57.

The wash-up from that is that we traded away pick 29+pick 32. All we got back was moving up 1 spot (pick 12 to pick 11 and pick 27 to pick 26). Why would we lose pick 29 + 32 if we were planning on using them? We wouldn't.

Since then we traded Jess Hosking for 23 and 40.

End result is, we have 5 list spots.
Pick 10
Pick 11
Pick 23
Pick 26
Pick 40*** I don't think we'll use this pick. If we had plans to use a pick that late we wouldn't have traded away pick 29+32.

We've obviously got someone in mind.....don't know who though.

You might be right, but the other possibility is that we  have an eye on someone at 11 who might otherwise have been grabbed at 11 before our pick 12 or same scenario at 26 and 27.  However given that we swapped 11 and 12 with the Bulldogs that would suggest there wasn't someone both were red hot on at 11 - perhaps Carlton was keener than the dogs though. 

Don't see anyone leaping out at me as a DFA we'd be keen on, but you never know.   Cranston, Svarc, Monahan and Forth might interest us for different reasons.

Looking to the draft my thoughts are as follows:

We have picks 10,11,23,26 and 40 or more pertinently in the Victorian pool these are picks 6,7,14,16 & 24.

I would have thought there is no chance that either Georgia Prespakis or Charlie Rowbottom will get down to our first pick - they seem to be consensus 1 & 2 probably Rowbottom first.  After that the field seems to even out and there doesn't seem much consensus. Assuming those 2 are gone before we get a pick these seem to be the names in rough consensus order in the Victorian pool that might get through to us:

Stella REID 173cm left footed w/hf OAKLEIGH CHARGERS
Ella FRIEND 175cm tall utility GWV Rebels (ex Horsham) - might chose Geelong?
Tara SLENDER 175cm tall utility PIONEERS - mainly fwd or mid strong ohead
Nyakoat DOJIOK 175cm KD can play fwd Rebels - elite athlete but is KD where we have needs?
Tess CRAVEN 163cm in mid Geelong Falcons
Tahlia GILLARD 189cm KF/Ru Calder Cannons strong ohead but skilful on ground - rate her highly
Amanda LING 161cm mid Oakleigh - star of last GF which always bodes well for prospects of succeeding at next level
Jayde ANTHONY 166cm top ager def/util DANDENONG
Annie LEE 169cm defender GEELONG FALCONS - might chose Geelong?
Aurora SMITH 165cm defender Geelong Falcons - might choose Geelong?
Maeve CHAPLIN 162cm def/mid top ager Northern Knights has played VFLW at Blues
Poppy SCHAAP 153cm mid/fwd captain of Falcons - might choose Geelong?
Perry KING 169cm Tasmanian mid - might be claimed by North
Gabbi FEATHERSTONE 169cm KF Geelong Falcons - might chose Geelong?
Neve CROWLEY 175cm mid/fwd Calder Cannons
Megan KIELY mid NM VFLW 
Ingrid HOUTSMA 176cm wing Geelong Falcons - might choose Geelong?
Emilia YASSIR - 160cm mid/fwd Calder Cannons - some rate very highly
Maykaylah APPLEBY - 171cm wing or flank either end - quick and good disposal like this player some rate very highly
Imogen MILFORD 179cm KF Casey
Elizabeth DOWLING 171cm utility Geelong Falcons - might choose Geelong?
Oliva MEAGHER 157cm mid top ager tough EASTERN captain
Jorja BORG 182cm Ru Carlton VFLW - mature (1998 birthdate) Carlton VFLW ruck has been excellent

That takes us through to Carlton's last available pick (as I understand it) so I won't go any further other than to note a few more names connected to the Blues - Tarrah Delgado from the Knights has played with the Blues VFLW team whilst Akaylah Peterson, Ally Bild and Jennifer Lew of the VFLW team seem to show AFLW traits. 

Given the fairly broad range of opinion after the players that won't likely last to us, we may well be tempted to look to needs a fair bit.  It seems to me we need midfield speed, a rebounding defender and a KF who can pinch hit in the ruck would seem to me to be priorities.  The loss of Hosking might add an inside player into the mix but I am inclined to the view that even without her and given we have Dal Pos coming in we are more in need of the speed and a tall athlete forward/ruck.  Assuming no Prespakis or Rowbottom I'd lean towards GILLARD at first or second pick (they are back to back so no matter which) along with REID and then quick players from there on (unless we go small early in which case I'd like to see a tall later on) and maybe BORG if we want a mature ruck backup with plenty of footy ahead of her.  I see value in this - as our list currently stands if MOODY goes down we have GIBBS whi is pretty green and then no real backup for her.

Something like

GILLARD
REID
SLENDER
APPLEBY
BORG

would do me fine.

Poppy was talked about before the draft and was one that slipped through.

Be a good Jess Hosking replacement, although we did get Dal Pos from GWS who is an upgrade in that area.

Hopefully our forwardline stands up.

We can now afford to keep Vescio forward all year without getting short handed in the middle (she was supposed to be a midfielder last season, but ended up winning the coleman!)

Stevens was a good battler but not a great mark, but those 2 could hold down the 2 KPF roles, despite not being KPP's.

We've got some talls in Trudgeon, Milford and Good, each of whom could prove to be a handful as a key forward.

Media reports Stevens is on the move, but isn't she contracted until 2023?

Contracts don't seem to mean much in AFLW.  The expansion  clubs seem to be free to raid and the clubs don't seem to want to stand in the way of players making a move despite contract status.  Don't quite know how it works as a matter of law - prima facie a contract is binding and could be used to deny a player wanting to switch clubs - but maybe there is something in the terms of the clubs entry into the competition that prevents clubs from holding a player to a contract.  Or perhaps it is just a matter of clubs accepting that most players have and need vocations outside of footy and they won't stand in the way of same.
Title: Re: AFLW - Contracted or uncontracted?
Post by: DJC on April 16, 2022, 10:05:32 pm
AFLW contracts seem to be short term … at least ours are.

Most of our list are out of contract and that may reflect the fledging nature of the competition and the need to correct list management errors and take advantage of players from other clubs looking for better deals/opportunities.

Short seasons and part-time players probably argue for one or two year contracts.

Initially, you could only give 1year contracts.
After a few years they gave us the option of 2 years.

With the new cba coming out (hopefully )before the new season, it might be extended passed that.....right in time for us to lose all our players.

Re 'law' side of things, I'm pretty sure all clubs have to agree to the 'expansion' and as a result basically null and void all rules prior....I believe.

A lot of girls have signed up this last week. Krudd, you might have to update your (rather admirable) list.
However, you are correct: no mention of Brooke Vernon.
If she is delisted, she will be picked up: there simply isn't enough talent out there yet to let someone like her escape.

Dal Pos, Vescio, Schaap, O'Dea and Walker were mentioned as signing on for 2 more years, as were Moody, Hill and McEvoy. of those only Dal Pos appears dubious.

Its a quirk of the system that there are 2 seasons worth in 1 year.
Hence, we've had 2022 A season already.
Now we will have 2022 B season.
Next year will be 2023 season.

Players can only sign on for 2 seasons at a time, so those '2 year signings' are until the end of 2023.

It’s good to see that Breann Moody has extended her contract, and even better to hear her speak about her commitment to the club.

AFLW is quite fickle with clubs quick to move players on and players quick to seize opportunities elsewhere.  In that context, it’s refreshing to see how much the mighty Blues mean to Breann.

Several other players have made similar passionate statements about their connection to the club and that’s great to see ❤️

THE CARLTON Football Club will head into the 2022 NAB AFLW Draft with four available positions on its playing list for the upcoming season.

The number of list spots was confirmed today, with Brooke Vernon departing the football club after playing three games in as many seasons for the Game Changers.

Literally no mention of Vernon's delisting from the club, just this journo confirming she is departing.

Callinan sounds like a good signing to the coaches department, there is always something a bit edgy about little people who make it to the highest level, they often have to work harder to an opportunity. I suspect it is why so often back pockets make great coaches.

We are moving house at the moment, and the little ones will be moving school.
Went for a tour of the new school and was chaperoned around by the principal. He seemed nice enough, school seemed nice enough.
Fast forward a week and that same principal is now an AFLW assistant coach at the doggies.
Apparantly even the coaching department need to have 2 jobs to survive as well.
Name didn't ring a bell, so not sure of his history, but i'd be interested to see how he goes.

I see the Suns are trying to trade Courtney Jones back to Vic, any interest?

I was never fully across why Jones left us in the first place, it felt like just as she was getting over a bad run of injuries and developing some form she was gone.

AFLW is a very very different environment to AFL, it's pretty rare for an AFL player end up back where they started, but I suspect it'll be quite common in AFLW simply because of the rules.

There are a few quirks.  I expect the northern states are going to struggle with AFL W and the players egos will be a factor.  As it is, the AFL men barely rate a mention up north.   Imagine being a girl expecting to forge a professional career and having no profile to discuss.

Jones was on our list for 3 years.
2 years she didn't get a game.
3rd year she was actually very good.
Then she left for Gold Coast.

Why? Not really sure, probably just more money.

I'd take her back. We need more forward marking options having lost Harris and Stevens (as well as Jones) in the past 2 seasons leaving us with not much apart from a very raw Milford and a passed her used by date McWilliams.

I'm sure she would've been injured for at least part of that.

When the list is 30, and 21 run out every week, that leaves only 9 that didn't. Half of the 9 that don't play are usually because of injury.
If you are part of the half of the 9 that isn't injured and still don't play, then you basically get flicked at the end of the year.

Mimi Hill signs an extension to be on our list until the end of 2024 (the only one to be signed up on a new 2 year deal starting now).

Plenty of other signings coming up soon as we have plenty of players out of contract, and a few who deserve an extention too.


If only we had a coach......

Club has announced signings of Kez Peterson and Bri Moody.

Now, with Hill, they made a point of saying 2024.
They did not do that with Peterson and Moody which makes me think its just for 2023.

Now, based on my records, they were already signed on for 2023.

So either the club is trying to churn out some good news stories by telling little white lies (they were already signed) or the club needs to work on their communication skills by pointing out its for an additional year......or i got it wrong initially, which i don't think is the case as i only update it when i get a confirmation from the club.

Curious.

I heard a coach interviewed about Peterson and they said it was for 2023, maybe 2023 was a contract option that has been triggered.

Yes, it's a bit ducks and drakes, not many drakes in AFLW! :o

The bigger issue for me is head coach who?

Kerryn Peterson has put pen to paper and signed on for another two seasons with the Game Changers.

By Carlton Media on Jun 8, 2022, 4:55pm

That was in the middle of the year, between the 2 seasons of 2022.
So that includes the 2nd season of 2022 and 2023.

I reckon i could find similar for Moody and a few others if i looked.

As i said, i don't update the thread unless its confirmed from the club

Interesting wording in the two recent articles.  Contract extensions aren't mentioned, just Kerryn and Brea committing or re-committing for 2023.  I guess they're just making it clear that they aren't looking for a trade  :-\

Yep.

The club is putting on a front saying 'all is well' when in reality, people are jumping ship, we STILL don't have a coach and there is more pain ahead.

If they wanted to highlight the fact that the girls are staying and are 'carlton for life' etc, then do that. Don't pretend like its something it isn't.

Of course if they REALLY wanted to do that, then extend their contract to 2024 like they did with Mimi Hill.

Poor PR spin from the club.

Brooke had one good season when we had a very competitive team.  I’ll be a tad annoyed if she can recapture that form.

We should be able to get a decent player with pick 9 but AFLW player musical chairs is not helping the competition.  I guess Brea and Kez’s decisions to honour their contracts are significant after all 🙄

I would be extending contract lengths to bring some stability to playing lists.

Brooke was good when her focus was on footy. Once she (and Dalton) focussed on rugby, their form fell off a cliff.

With Moods and Kez 'staying' it shows how desperate we are for some good news stories. We could've extended them for an extra year (like we did with Hill) but for some reason we didn't.
The 3 most recent signing for 2 years are all well and good, but personally i would've only given a 2 year deal to Guerin, with the other 2 still a work in progress IMO.

Hopefully we can snag some decent players soon, otherwise we'll be fighting for a spoon.

CARLTON will bolster its list with Irish talent in the coming days, with the Blues set to announce the signings of Erone Fitzpatrick and Dayna Finn.

As reported by womens.afl earlier this month, Finn is an accomplished Gaelic footballer and basketballer and is currently studying on a sports scholarship at Trinity College in Dublin.

Fitzpatrick is a hard running goal scorer from Laois, who was integral to her side's All Ireland Intermediate Championship victory last year.

The pair will become just the second and third Irish players to be signed by Carlton, following Joanne Doonan's time on the list in 2020.

IN 2020, Carlton's AFLW side qualified for a preliminary final, and were a decent chance of knocking off North Melbourne to earn a second straight Grand Final berth before the season was cancelled.

Three seasons on, just nine of the 30 players remain, while both the coach Daniel Harford and head of footy Brett Munro have been moved on after a wide-ranging external review.

Darcy Vescio, Gab Pound, Breann Moody and Nat Plane are the only inaugurals left from 2017, while Abbie McKay, Mua Laloifi, Kerryn Peterson, Brooke Walker and Serena Gibbs were also on the list in 2020.
This story is only 11 days old, and we've already lost 3 more players.

From our prelim side year of 2020, 6 from 30 are left thats only 20%
Throw in the coach and head of footy gone and i think you can officially say we are in crisis mode.

The AFL largely to blame for that with the poaching that has been allowed to go on with next to no compensation, but from our own internal review we've been asleep at the wheel too.
I think Half was unlucky to go, but i reckon he's thankful he did because we are in for a world of pain.

Yes, it’s hard to see how COVID could have affected us and not any other AFLW teams 🙄

I suspect that we’re suffering from a combination of poor decision making by the club and even worse decision making by the AFL.

Getting a coach on board would be good start but perhaps we can’t find anyone willing to put their head on the block.  A well run program would have had several potential coaches lined up before giving Harf the ask.

I'll have a crack at it.
Surely there's no need to "beat around the bush" in this day and age and we should be able to discuss any or all issues that may impact on player movement.
I've no idea about some of the individual relationships but...

While we hear very little about same-sex relationships in the men's game though, (I'm sure there have been some) there seems to be a number of players in the women's competition involved in same sex relationships and those folks are quite happy to share that information.
That's a positive thing and probably demonstrates that there is a more accepting attitude amongst the women.
(Strange we still have to say that)

Not all partners are playing for the same team, some partners aren't even footballers but may have careers that have them moving around.
Is it a factor in some of the movements, especially in these early days of a full number of sides?

There are plenty of players that have moved clubs (leaving us) and plenty of them are gay. Plenty of them have partners already and some of them are playing at a rival club.
I'm yet to see someone move (from our club) to be with their partner elsewhere.

Look at Bri Davey as an example. She was (and may still be with) Tilly Lucas Rodd.
We were supposedly not going to renew Tillys contract and Bri Davey got the $hits up and left. There were other issues with her being promised a car she never got etc, but that was part of it.

Did they go to the same club? No.
Tilly has left clubs again since then.
Did she go to the same club? No.

Its certainly not such a large factor and can actually complicate things.

Plenty of AFL players live with opposition players and manage to make it work, so no reason why AFLW players can't do the same.

IMO its a drop in the ocean in terms of whats actually going on at the club.

I read in the Age this morning that Melbourne has retained 28 of its 2022 premiership list including 20 of the 21 premiership players with Daisy Pearce's retirement their only change.

While you would expect players to be reluctant to leave a successful club, their player retention suggests that they must be doing a lot more right than winning premierships ... but that's to be expected.

It does show that the AFL's recruitment rules for expansion clubs will help to keep the stronger clubs strong and the weaker clubs weak.  All established clubs should have been required to offer up players to the expansion clubs; three each from the top four, two from the next four, and one from the also-rans.

I didn't think I was being vague so ill spell it out for you. 

When I say relationships, I meant team unity.  If you have a different camp of individuals due to personalities it involves them putting aside and pulling in the same direction.

Then covid strikes.  Ive seen friendships and families divide over the covid response and using our forum as a litmus test you can clearly see how relationships and team dynamics could go south in that equation.

We won't be the only team that suffered with that, but maybe our AFLW team particularly having lost the opportunity at a grand final was full of types that were more likely to fall out.

Hence why you see a mass exodus.

Not sure what everyone else was inferring but the sexual relationships wasn't what I was referring to.  If anything Darcy's gender neutral stance may have caused some rigorous debate, but I can't really say if that caused any friction.

Its a shame but its human nature, and understandable when contentious issues arise.

I didn't mention it, but the treatment of Taylah Harris may have also caused some grief too.  You would have to have a chat with each of the girls individually but losing the hosking twins was eye opening when it occurred.  Theyre the sort of teamates you want.  Solid but unspectacular team players.  Some of those players are the glue holding things together.

Tayla Harris caused friction herself when she put herself above the team.
Yes, it may have pissed some off with how she was treated, but it would've won some friends as well.

Yes, there are cliques in the club. There are in every team.
If anything you see the cliques moving (hoskings, velcro).
Darcy was able to get former teammates recruited to the club with Odea and Dal Pos.
Kez managed to get Jess Good across from basketball after years of trying.
Does that explain players leaving? I don't think so.

Did peoples stance on covid make people leave? Possible, but far from #1 reason imo.
By our own admissions, the club has not put enough time, effort and energy into the AFLW program. That makes me think the problems are much bigger than one (or more) persons stance on covid....and a strong club could certainly put out that fire if/when it arose.

Harris was put on the pedestal by the sport and the media long before she was capable of dealing with the attention and the focus, it's quite common for elite athletes to be a little bit self-absorbed, to succeed they have to believe, they have to be a little selfish, but the trick is to manage the on field belief with the off-field existence.

fwiw; This is also the except wrong path that Sheedy led the likes of Hird, Lloyd and other protégés, he made them self-absorbed so they would succeed on field, but they became flogs off it!

It says signing for 2 years, but the background text on the pick just says 2023 season. Which is the same as Moods and Kez. For hill it said 2024 season.

So i'm not sure what is going on there, but am skeptical given the other little white lies the club has been telling.

It seems that other clubs have gone pretty hard at our girls but we have retained 22 players from last season (possibly 23 depending on Elise O'Dea).  Three players were delisted, and we've lost four players to other clubs.  That's not good but I don't think that's as bad as it could have been.

With Cordner, Read, Finn and Fitzpatrick joining, we can add 3 or 4 delisted free agents or mature recruits in the supplementary draft.
Hopefully, there will be some talent available.

Of the 15 most recent signings (all announced at once) I had 7 of them already had contracts. Add in Kez and Moods who did the same and thats 9 're-signings' that were announced that were already contracted.

Look at who we lost - McEvoy, Walker, Plane and Gibbs
and the players we got - Cornder, Read and the 2 rookie irish lasses Finn and Fitzpatrick
and its clear we are worse off talent wise.....and we weren't coming from a strong base last year.

Elise was a strong body around the ground and I think we’ll miss her presence.  However, it seemed that time had caught up with her and she was struggling to match it with the youngsters.

She can be proud of her footy career and her too short time in navy blue.

[Chloe Wrigley] A 50-game player for the Peel Thunder since her debut back in 2019, the inside midfielder was drafted by Carlton with pick No.28 in the 2023 AFLW Supplementary Draft.

Don't know much about them apart from what was written there but we drafted...
- A defender
- A ruck/forward
- A runner
- An inside mid.

Seems we got one of everything so should help fill some holes......we have a list resembling swiss cheese at the moment, so its not hard.

Good luck to the girls.

Good news with both Keeleys signed up until 2027! They are the biggest contracts we've ever given. Previous biggest allowed was only 2 year, thats 4.

Good to see we can finally start to get some long term consistency, stability and can hopefully start building a team that doesn't get poached every year.

Both Keeley's had superb seasons.
Looking forward to stability for the squad. It's been like a revolving door for too long.
Congratulations to Keeley and Keeley.

Well-deserved!  Gab had a great season … even if I’m still a little confused by the squid fishing expedition with Jordan Boyd 🤔

3 girls delisted today.

Daisy Walker
Imogen Milford
Chloe Wrigley

Wrigley never got a gig.
Milford was a tall who has been replaced (and will continue to be with Celine Moody coming across)
Walker appears to be a bit stiff after 31 games, but may not have a true position anymore after being moved out of the backline.....and has some poor disposal too.

No surprises there.

Daisy's kicking really wasn't anywhere near as good as it should be at that level and I imagine that she wasn't able to correct it.

Fantastic news with Brea Moody signing on until end of 2027.
Starting to lock down our future.

From all of that, these are the next 2 i'd want to lock in long term, then i think we've got something to work with.
