Women's League

[LP]

I don't know much about the Women's footy leagues.

But I would think given Carlton is applying for a team we should have a dedicated Notice Board setup for the discussion of the girls league, recruiting, coaches and performance.

If we don't get the nod for a team we can always shut it down later. But I think we at least need a notice board to keep up with discussions and potential recruits/draftees.

Women of Carlton anyone?

[Thryleon]

Yeah I think thats reasonable.

Up to the admins though.

Ask and you shall receive, the Ladies Lounge is now open

Can we invite someone at the Club to kick start it with a post, would they contribute to fill in the rest of us plebs?

If only Chachi17 played for the Blues instead of the WB's, she would provide much insight.

We'll you never know, if the Bulldogs have a team do they get to stick at the Bulldogs or do all players have to enter the draft?

Beside what has already been reported there is not much more to tell.

The license selection process is well underway and the recommended list of teams to receive one will be forwarded to the AFL commission soonish.

As for the player breakups all that can be said is that the nominated clubs will have two marque players.
Whether they get to choose or the AFL is a little unclear.

AFter that process each nominated club can then approach 5 other players from anywhere to sign up.

After that there will a draft to select the balance of the squads from the remaining talent pool. Not sure if it is from any state or restricted in some way.

I think the mooted squad numbers are 25 or 26 around that mark.

As for Chachi it will a wait and see scenario.

I'd be stoked to have her in the Navy but so long as she plays is all that matters.

What I can tell you thou is that there is a real buzz about the various women's leagues.
Senior thru to juniors are excited plus.
The AFL, VFL Vic and other bodies have worked hard the last few years in setting up acadamies and identifying talent around Australia.
What we'll see is a very talented bunch of footballers strutting there stuff and playing good entertaining football.

If the CFC gets a license jump on board you won't be disappointed.

I think the clubs get to choose their marquee players. Brisbane have already signed one of theirs as they're the only QLD club to apply for a licence.

I would think that Carlton's first signing would be Lauren Arnell as we've employed her as our female footy ambassador. Here's hoping Chachi is next in line.

The Brisbane signing has put a few noses out of joint at HO. Since legally they don't have a license as yet.

Yeah I thought that was a bit odd myself, but I dare say a few clubs who look likely to get a licence will have in principle agreements with some of the players.
