2018-19 AFLW Recruiting

[crashlander]

We have made our choices for the 2018 and we have aimed to bolster our midfield and our defence. Considering that the midfield was our biggest weakness (and by a LONG WAY) in the last season, we appear to have made some useful additions.

It also appears that we took good notice of the Draft Camo results in selecting some athletic talent. New Blues highlighted.
