AFLW - Bombers poaching Velcro - Maddy P and Georgia G set to flee - kruddler - 04-11-2022

Quote:ESSENDON has pulled off a stunning double coup ahead of its maiden season in the AFLW, with the club set to sign important Carlton duo Maddy Prespakis and Georgia Gee.
Womens.afl can reveal the Bombers have lured both players in what is a significant filip for the incoming expansion side and a brutal blow for their arch rivals at Ikon Park.

It's this type of thing that makes any real emotional involvement with the women's side difficult.
Hopefully with the end of expansion things will settle down and we'll get a core group of players who build some history and tradition that is meaningful and long term.

Complaining his best players get offered money they can't refuse elsewhere and it makes it hard.

We better be VERY well compensated.

His favourite mens player (last year) was Eddie Betts.
I asked him what number he wants to wear when he plays football - #19.
He seems to have a thing for quick, exciting, small forwards........who walk out the door as soon as he identifies them as a favourite.
Poor kid.
But, yes, now they are the enemy and we'll learn to love to hate them pretty quick.
This is off the back of the bombers demolishing our VFLW side recently too.
To put it simply, we are f***ed!

Maybe we need to install a “No porking your teamates” policy…?
Or have I misunderstood how close they are ?

I'm not going to bother with the AFLW any longer. Conditions are neither fair nor reasonable. No Victorian club can compete under the present system. As for the expansions clubs, apart from Port Adelaide, they are a terrible idea that dilutes an already small talent pool.
Whatever compensation we may get is a joke. It simply cannot replace two of our better players.
