If I was Harf, and others in the coaching and support group, I'd just be shaking my head and perhaps feeling pretty shat upon.
Might as well hold a fire sale of others who want to abandon ship, load up on picks and start again... rebuild, act like an expansion club and build a group with character, loyalty and unity.

AFLW is to AFL, what France is to The Allies!
The girls won't sit around the campfire singing Goodnight Saigon, and of course my posting this makes me a misogynist but it doesn't change it's underlying truth!

Probably.
Realistically we stuffed up and everyone on here knows it.
The best time to jag a flag, was when the competition was fledgling. Now that its becoming a bit more cut throat, and we appear to be hampered by the lack of money in it, 2020 was the last season that we could have pulled it off and no guarantees we would have. Since then almost all the key components of that outfit have moved on.

I'm not so fussed about Prespakis and Gee leaving, provided we get good compensation picks and use them wisely.
Hopefully, this will mean the end of clubs raiding others for players and a move to more settled lists.

Not sure we'll be well compensated though.
A lot of help will be given to the clubs entering the competition, which will erode any compensation to some extent.

....and they got Davey. I know who won that war.

Just thinking about this in light of Gil stepping down. There was a short (but involved) list of things he's going to do this year before he goes and one of them was new CBA for the mens and for the womens comp.
Which got me thinking....
How can players be poached, when they don't know what the salary cap is going to be?
It may turnout that we could've quite easily matched bombers offers for the girls once the new figures come out, but we'll never know.
I've said it a million times, but until the comp is truly national, not a trumped up state of origin competition it will be a farce.
