So far nothing with Carlton as yet.
Still no news on Bri Davey.
Melbourne have already lost 4 players to new startup team Geelong. Including big names Mel Hickey (former marquee player) and 'Rocky' Cranston (dreadlocked forward).
North Melbourne have only made 1 signing to this point, 2018 Premiership B+F winner of the dogs, Emma Kearney has jumped ship.
Given the state of our club, i'd be VERY happy if we managed to keep our players. It would be easy for them to walk.
On the flip side, perhaps our players are not wanted for the same reason.

Vescio has snubbed an offer from North Melbourne and re-signed with the Blues.

Yep, so I can't find an article about it (not unusual given AFL mens is the main event at the moment), but an admin on one of the facebook groups I am on shared an update with the following text:
Darcy Vescio has agreed to stay at Carlton despite a juicy offer from the Kangaroos. - Fox Footy

If Darcy has renewed with Carlton I am a bit surprised we haven't already announced it, it's the sort of info you want out in the market place to help potential recruits decide which club they want to join.
However, it may pay to keep this area a little grey if you are trying to defend against poachers. Some ambiguity might help expose the enemy!
If I was a young AFLW player, I'd want to join a team that has the likes of Vescio, Davey and Harris.
I hope Bri renews her deal as well, but we have to expect a move from a few players given the current state of the competition rules. In some ways, we may be lucky Bri got her injury, it's probably caused a few potential suitors to cool off a little.
