Re: 2018 AFLW Draft Reply #2 – October 23, 2018, 12:50:34 pm Was pretty much as predicted, we are lucky the AFLW draftees can nominate zones which let her slip to pick #3 otherwise she would have been pick #1.I wonder if they will ever bring the equivalent to the AFL draft? Despite the institutionalised hatred, sometimes the system cannot stop us profiting! Quote Selected Last Edit: October 23, 2018, 12:53:46 pm by LP

Not disappointed, but the zonal system has some really irrational results.Pick 16: Carlton: Abby McKayAnother of our VFL lasses, Brancatisano, was stolen by Melbourne with pick 15. Quote Selected

Re: 2018 AFLW Draft Reply #5 – October 23, 2018, 01:11:48 pm Pick 27: Carlton: Charlotte WilsonA reasonably tall and very athletic defender, Charlotte was the Eastern Ranges' co Captain. She played 5 games for the Southern Saints in the VFL this year. Quote Selected Last Edit: October 23, 2018, 01:42:41 pm by crashlander

Re: 2018 AFLW Draft Reply #11 – October 23, 2018, 01:25:22 pm If I am correct this year's draftees are the first class of the AFLW Draft Camp / Academy, so we should be seeing players with tests results that are more relevant than ever before. Quote Selected

Good mix of mids and defenders which we need both of. Indeed. With our midfield disaster this year and 2 of our best defenders leaving, we needed to address both of those areas. I am much happier in that respect this time. Quote Selected

Re: 2018 AFLW Draft Reply #14 – October 23, 2018, 01:30:54 pm Pick 38: Carlton: Emerson WoodsAnother whose athleticism stood out at the Draft Camp.Emerson still sounds like a strange name for a girl (or a boy, for that matter). Good luck to the lass and a long career with the Blues!A winger with real speed. Quote Selected Last Edit: October 23, 2018, 01:43:22 pm by crashlander
