I get why the AFL wants new clubs to be successful but it shouldn’t be at the expense of clubs that have worked hard to build a reasonable list ... with the possible exception of the Crows
I think that the AFL should allow for 2-3 seasons before the expansion clubs are competing for finals spots. Expansion clubs could have academies and should build lists through State league teams before poaching from established clubs.

It only happens because everyone is a free agent all of the time.
From this season, clubs can sign players for 2 years. So it will mean that a lot of players are off limits.
Apart from that, if you have a happy, healthy club with upside, players won't leave.
So far the only carlton name i've heard thrown up as any chance of really going has been Rhiannon Watt. She was a late in for Tayla Harris in R2, and may have played the next week. She didn't show much worth persisting with IMO so if she wants to go to St. Kilda, good. Means that we can only lose 3 other players from our list to this system....if clubs can find 3 that will leave.

Not happy jan! >
12 months ago, fair enough. I was shocked she stayed. But now? Why?!
Apparantly Gold Coast is having a crack at Gab Pound too.
I really hope we can keep this side together and take it a step further next year.

AFLW a joke with major players changing Clubs is often.

Collingwood would have to trade for her, and the 1st pick is the obvious bait, but it is still something I would prefer not to see. The only thing going against Bri is her age: she is no spring chicken and cannot go on forever. But it does feel like betrayal.

Bri Davey is only 25 crash. Peak of her powers with several years left.
If Pick 1 gets us another Maddy Prespakis, then thats a good start. What about operation 'Bring Steph home'? Captain for captain swap. Steph is no spring chicken at 30, but throw in pick 1 and i'd do that deal.

Rhiannon Watt has officially signed with the Saints.
Looked like it was 'get through the B+F first' type of scenario with her as rumours were floating around at the start of the week.
