The mens game is a bit different. The boys have been preparing for an afl career their whole lives.
The woman's game didn't. There wasnt an elite level to prepare for 5 years ago. 3 years ago there was.

I appreciate that, but the concept is of diminishing returns for the AFLW, it'll be like the lads within 3 or 4 years when the current crop of 13 year olds become draftees!

The girls are going to be less desired long term as each new batch of draftees comes in due to the work being done to get them up to draft age. Each generation will be much better than the one that came before it .
Prediction? We're already seeing it now.
Each AFLW list is getting younger and younger with more draftees overtaking the originals.

But the rules keep changing so I'm not certain when commenting on AFLW, plus as Kruddler pointed out the AFL make it up as they go! For example an extreme case, if we wanted to trade a bunch of picks to Nthmond for Katie Brennan, I wouldn't be surprised that the AFL kibosh such a move yet I don;t see how there can be a formal rule against it! It's not like drafting a kid and trading them straight away, Brennan is an old hand!
Would we give Daisy Pearce a spot for 2020, she's a long long time Navy Blue?
Is there any confirmation yet of how the next season will play out? If as rumored it moves to be coincident with the mens season it means an 18 month off-season!
Pretty sure Daisy Pearce can go straight back on the Melbourne list....but you can ask. She is already back down to her playing weight after giving birth (to twins?) earlier this year. You can ask the question of her though.
As for the AFL kibopshing the KB trade you suggest, they would. But thats because she's now at the Tigers, not the kangas.

Every AFLW club can have a list of 30 players on it.
Up to this point in time, you could only sign up to 22 players (we have signed 21)
So we now have 9 spots available on our list, 1 more than the minimum.
Trade period finishes today, so if there are any moves we wanna make, we gotta get in quick.
There is also a free agency period that opened today and will last until Tuesday. I suspect we will pick up a delisted free agent we like the look of. Could be worth giving Mo Hope a gig. Might slot in nicely next to Harris and Vescio up forward and allow her the 3rd defender rather than the 1st or 2nd as she's had to deal with thus far.
Currently we have 7 picks in the first 4 rounds of the draft. Two in each of the first 3 rounds, and one in the 4th.
I susecpt we will use 6 picks. Meaning we'll sign up 3 players between now and then.
1 DFA - Hope?
1 or 2 'converts' ala Dalton + Walker from rugby 7's.
6 or 7 kids at the draft.

Wow, Picks 2, 12, 22 and 30 for 1 player.
Either they think they ve got enough young talent on their list, or they re insane.
Talk about selling the farm.

Re-read my earlier post...
Quote:Pick 2, 26, 44, 59is what we got from the pies.
EDIT: I see where you got your numbers from now. Its a little bit sneaky. Those numbers are from the VIC pool of players.
To explain, the draft is not the same as the mens.
Vic teams can only choose from players who nominate for the Vic draft pool.
WA teams can only choose WA nominated players etc.
Last year as an example, Maddie Prespakis nominated for the VIC pool of the draft and NOT the Geelong pool (whatever that was called). So Geelong, despite having picks 1 and 2 could NOT select Maddie. So we swooped with pick 3, knowing all along that she was going to be available to us no matter what Geelong did.
So Maddie was taken pick 3, but was pick 1 in the vic draft.

I thought AFLW draftees were not required to nominate a state, but if they nominate a state only teams from that state can pick them up. If they don't get an offer they cannot back-flip!
So it's a double edged sword, particularly for lower ranked players, they get to play roughly where they like but they have less chance of being picked up if they do nominate a state!

I'm not sure if they have to nominate a state or not. I know you could nominate 2 (or more?) states previously and not sure if thats changed.
Point is, top end talent want to play where they want to play and you can't get a player who hasn't nominated for your pool. ie Prespakis and Geelong.

I didn't realise they could nominate two, I thought it was one or none, none being Australia wide!
But it makes perfect sense to be able to nominate options where you can take a job, given they are part-timers.
