I think there is a difference between a captain leaving for an expansion club (ie Brennan to Tigers) and a captain leaving for a rival, established club (ie Davey to Pies)
Given she is not only captain, but B+F winner and plastered all over our AFLW advertising, to do this to go to a lesser side and hiding it until after the B+F where everything appeared to be rosy is a bitter pill to swallow, and i'm not surprised the club are filthy.
She clearly isn't going there to play in a flag.
She isn't going there to play with her friends, given her partner plays with us already.
She is clearly going there for the cash.
.....and how much cash can they offer? What is the CBA in regards to the AFLW game these days? There was clear minimum and maximum amounts previously. Has something changed? Does she prefer a lexus over a hyundai?
I don't get it and i don't like it.

Yet we happily took the Filth's B&F off them when Nicola Steven joined us in 2017, we can't be hypocrites and must work within the system!
It's the system that is the problem, not the clubs working within it. The contract lengths and terms are too restrictive. I'm not sure why any club would bother developing talent at the moment, they could just save that money for list raiding.

Agree, but Steven's wasn't captain at the time.

Fair enough, but on-field Stevens was without question their marquee player.

Wrong again.
Mo Hope was their marquee player.
Emma King was their marquee player
Steph Chiocci was their captain.
It would be like someone trying to poach Brianne Moody from us (she won our B+F last year) but is far from the most important player on our list.

I wasn't talking about their listed marquee players, I was talking about their best player and match winner.
Nobody gives a feck about who gets the labels, we only care about on-field performances!

She won the B+F by 4 votes to Alicia Eva, she is a matchwinner.
You say "without question" their marquee player, I challenge that remark.
Personally, i am more than happy to have Stevens playing for us. But if i had a choice of Collingwood players, she's just scrape into my top 5 i reckon.
Your logic suggests that whoever wins the B+F is without question the best player in the side. I challenge that logic.

The coaches would disagree, they are the voters not fans!

And the players voted too. And the players voted Alicia Eva for the players player.
Emma King was also named in the AA team, but didn't make top 3 in the votes.

Like the way Kreuzer has never been AA, all voted by the media!
It's a joke measure!
