Interesting wording in the two recent articles. Contract extensions aren't mentioned, just Kerryn and Brea committing or re-committing for 2023. I guess they're just making it clear that they aren't looking for a trade :-\

Yep.
The club is putting on a front saying 'all is well' when in reality, people are jumping ship, we STILL don't have a coach and there is more pain ahead.
If they wanted to highlight the fact that the girls are staying and are 'carlton for life' etc, then do that. Don't pretend like its something it isn't.
Of course if they REALLY wanted to do that, then extend their contract to 2024 like they did with Mimi Hill.
Poor PR spin from the club.

Guerin, Sherar and Vickers extend til end of 2024 season.

Brooke Walker jumps to Bombers for Pick 9.
She hasn't lived up to the hype of late, but f*** me, we could still use her.
Talent is getting VERY THIN.

Mass exodus.
How do the club expect supporters to get behind this debacle,?

Until this nonsense settles down.
There will be a core of support but nowhere near what it could be.
You can't expect support just because a team runs around in a Navy Blue Jumper.
You earn it through actions and deeds.
And step one is 'stability.'

Brooke had one good season when we had a very competitive team. I’ll be a tad annoyed if she can recapture that form.
We should be able to get a decent player with pick 9 but AFLW player musical chairs is not helping the competition. I guess Brea and Kez’s decisions to honour their contracts are significant after all ?
I would be extending contract lengths to bring some stability to playing lists.

With Moods and Kez 'staying' it shows how desperate we are for some good news stories. We could've extended them for an extra year (like we did with Hill) but for some reason we didn't.
The 3 most recent signing for 2 years are all well and good, but personally i would've only given a 2 year deal to Guerin, with the other 2 still a work in progress IMO.
Hopefully we can snag some decent players soon, otherwise we'll be fighting for a spoon.

As if on queue....
Quote:CARLTON will bolster its list with Irish talent in the coming days, with the Blues set to announce the signings of Erone Fitzpatrick and Dayna Finn.
As reported by womens.afl earlier this month, Finn is an accomplished Gaelic footballer and basketballer and is currently studying on a sports scholarship at Trinity College in Dublin.
Fitzpatrick is a hard running goal scorer from Laois, who was integral to her side's All Ireland Intermediate Championship victory last year.
The pair will become just the second and third Irish players to be signed by Carlton, following Joanne Doonan's time on the list in 2020.

Quote:IN 2020, Carlton's AFLW side qualified for a preliminary final, and were a decent chance of knocking off North Melbourne to earn a second straight Grand Final berth before the season was cancelled.This story is only 11 days old, and we've already lost 3 more players.
Three seasons on, just nine of the 30 players remain, while both the coach Daniel Harford and head of footy Brett Munro have been moved on after a wide-ranging external review.
Darcy Vescio, Gab Pound, Breann Moody and Nat Plane are the only inaugurals left from 2017, while Abbie McKay, Mua Laloifi, Kerryn Peterson, Brooke Walker and Serena Gibbs were also on the list in 2020.
From our prelim side year of 2020, 6 from 30 are left thats only 20%
Throw in the coach and head of footy gone and i think you can officially say we are in crisis mode.
The AFL largely to blame for that with the poaching that has been allowed to go on with next to no compensation, but from our own internal review we've been asleep at the wheel too.
I think Half was unlucky to go, but i reckon he's thankful he did because we are in for a world of pain.
