Not unexpected when the AFL let clubs like the filth poach our gun players and gave us NOTHING in return.  Thanks AFL

We've been on the decline since about yr 3. Anyone who's any good leaves, including 2 captains. Not sure what's happened but the recruits this year at least, look totally out of their depth.

I was looking through an article about leadership groups this year. A few teams haven't announced theirs yet (Inc. Pies, dons and us) it made for some depressing reading.

- Tilly lucas-rodd is hawks inaugural captain.
- Sarah Hosking is vice captain at the tigers
- Kate shierlaw and Bianca Jacobson are vice captains at the saints, with Nic Stevens the 4th member of the leadership group. Rhi watt was co-captain at one point, but she left.

- Pies had co captains last year with Bri Davey (and former csc girl herself, Steph chiocci)
- bombers look to at least have prespakis in the leadership group as she is the face of the club from a marketing perspective thus far. Probably captain. Potentially Gee in the leadership group as well.

All former Carlton girls.
Ouch.

As much as our men have an injury problem, our women have a recruitment/ retention problem.

From early signs we look destined for a top draft pick. It's going to be painful to watch at times.

Hawthorn would have to be scraping the bottom of the barrel; Tilly couldn't command a regular game with us, let alone a leadership role.

I'm not sure whether other teams having former Carlton players in their leadership groups is a bad thing, particularly when many of those players clearly weren't natural leaders when they were at our club.

She wasn't too bad, would be quite useful to us in the absence of Gee.

It might be that the Dawks see giving Tilly the Captaincy puts them in the frame to snag Davey, as we have mentioned before many times, and as Carlton fans know after the Prespakis / Geee debacle, AFLW list management works very differently from the men!

Gee vs Lucas-Rodd are on opposite ends of the midfield spectrum.

Gee is Eddie Betts - Lucas Rodd is Ed Curnow.
Gee can run run run, do the impossible.
Lucas-Rodd will put her head over the ball and give it her all at every contest, but don't expect her to chase anyone down or kick long and accurately.
Both have their place, but not the same type of player.

FWIW, Lucas-Rodd was in the leadership group at the saints too and may have been one of the captains (They had 4 at once at one stage) She has leadership qualities.....just sooked it up when she was with us because of how we treated Davey (and vice versa).

I never claimed they were the same, just mentioned she would be useful in the midfield in Gee's absence.

The midfield is a continuum of players, you slot one in here or there and the others get the opportunity to reorganised.

At the moment we've got players with more than useful outside skills being sucked/trapped on the inside of the contest.
