AFLW 2021 trade and draft period - DRAFT NIGHT - kruddler - 05-08-2021

Quote:GWS on-baller Jess Dal Pos received interest from Geelong but is more likely to end up at Carlton. Her reasons for leaving the Giants are more to do with the fact she’s about to finish at paramedics course than anything football related.Yes please.
Quote:Blues forward Vescio was courted by St Kilda and Geelong but has agreed to terms on a deal that will keep her at Ikon Park for another two years, her agent Alex Saundry confirmed to Foxfooty.com.au on Thursday.Thank f*** for that!
Quote:The same applies to Jess Hosking and Carlton, who are both keen to remain together but are yet to come to a financial agreement.This will get worked out soon enough.
Quote:Carlton’s Tayla Harris looms as the big news story of the trade period. The Blues won’t say it publicly, but they would entertain offers from other clubs for the 24-year-old. It’s understood Harris would prefer to stay at Carlton but there is little doubt the relationship between her and the club has deteriorated after Foxfooty.com.au revealed she left training early to post an Instagram photo one night.Either get to work signing her, or get to work trying to pry out the biggest fish you can find from another club ASAP.
Sources say it’s not irreconcilable, but will take some serious work for Harris to remain at Ikon Park in 2022.

Still looks like Jess Dal Pos will come to us from GWS.
Loynes will get another gig at GWS.
Downie a potential option for the pies.
No word on Edwards yet, and TBH i'm not expecting anything.

They were both in good form and are durable athletes. Why not give it another crack?

They were definitely down on previous years output and both had shockers early on....did play better at the tail end but the time was definitely right for them to go....well....not be offered contracts.

So the trade period opened at midday today, with not much happening.
I heard an interesting thought at the weekend, maybe we are leaving Tayla hanging to see what shakes loose, a bit like staying quiet on Cripps contract to see who opposition offered up!

I doubt it.
Tayla appears to have burned her bridges.
The options appear to be that
1. Another club ponies up the money she wants (keep in mind that 9 clubs have already said they are out, leaving only 4 left)
2. She sits out the year.
....
3. She comes crawling back tail between her legs.
My money is on #2.....then #1.......then daylight before #3.

A friend's son was a AFL recruiting / list manager before COVID, but was made redundant and returned to teaching. However, he now runs a women's comp for the local league and is getting side gigs from AFL clubs asking for reports of potential AFLW recruits. His old man told me they think it's highly likely Tayla will re-join the competition, either now or later, on less than she was getting before. For two reasons, her manager has done her no favours, and secondly post COVID the club's just don't have the money to throw about!

I like Tayla. I think she has been good for Carlton and good for the AFLW. My initial thoughts about this whole saga were more benevolent, but as time has gone on, I can't help but feel that Tayla's position in this space is a misstep.
Fans, marketers and sponsors have short memories and can be very fickle. If she sits out the next 12 months to focus on boxing, she may find her AFLW marketability to be significantly diminished or gone altogether when she returns. There may be a new Tayla, she may get injured in boxing etc.
