ESSENDON has pulled off a stunning double coup ahead of its maiden season in the AFLW, with the club set to sign important Carlton duo Maddy Prespakis and Georgia Gee.

Womens.afl can reveal the Bombers have lured both players in what is a significant filip for the incoming expansion side and a brutal blow for their arch rivals at Ikon Park.

It's this type of thing that makes any real emotional involvement with the women's side difficult.
Hopefully with the end of expansion things will settle down and we'll get a core group of players who build some history and tradition that is meaningful and long term.

Craig Starcevich (Brisbane coach) had a mini meltdown about this in the press conference the other day. Complaining his best players get offered money they can't refuse elsewhere and it makes it hard.

We better be VERY well compensated.

I asked my 7yo (knowing the answer) who his favourite Carltons womens player is - Georgia Gee.
His favourite mens player (last year) was Eddie Betts.
I asked him what number he wants to wear when he plays football - #19.

He seems to have a thing for quick, exciting, small forwards........who walk out the door as soon as he identifies them as a favourite.

Poor kid.

But, yes, now they are the enemy and we'll learn to love to hate them pretty quick.
This is off the back of the bombers demolishing our VFLW side recently too.

To put it simply, we are f***ed!

Maybe we need to install a “No porking your teamates” policy…?
Or have I misunderstood how close they are ?

I agree. Our club has gone out of its way to develop these players and they turn their backs on us.

I'm not going to bother with the AFLW any longer. Conditions are neither fair nor reasonable. No Victorian club can compete under the present system. As for the expansions clubs, apart from Port Adelaide, they are a terrible idea that dilutes an already small talent pool.

Whatever compensation we may get is a joke. It simply cannot replace two of our better players.
Live Long and Prosper!

Not sure, but last I heard Prespakis was dating a girl from Brisbane.

Cheers crash, as I said I wasn’t sure if I’d misunderstood.
I think we have had a couple of players leave after relationships soured…?

Both dating other girls, but otherwise as close as can be.

In fairness the Bombers are basically running a potential chink of their AFLW squad in VFLW.

That was the point though. They flogged our VFLW side (which had zero AFLW players in it, but are still some good players) and they will add a large chunk of those players to standouts Maddy and Gee.....they'll be a force to reckon with if they can get a couple KPP's
