AFLW 2019 List Changes

[kruddler]

Of the uncertain players:
1. Davey: Not sure where this one is at, but I would not be confident about retaining her. I can hope, but I can't see it.
8. Mullane: I'm surprised she is on this list, as she was an important player through the whole season. Work issues? I would think she would be the one on this list most likely to stay.
17. Webb: Not getting a game this season would suggest that she is more likely than not to go.
18. Lucas-Rodd: If Davey goes, then Tilly will go too, but we won't miss her anywhere near as much.

I was speaking to good old 'Bluesgirl' aka Michelle about the above. I said i'd expected Tilly to go once Bri decided to go, she agreed and referred to Lucas-Rodd as a handbag.

Never heard that terminology before, but describes her perfectly.

We also both spoke about Mullane and agreed she was a bit stiff. Only thing i can think of is that she wants to go elsewhere, or she was not signed because she has the worst ball drop in the game, well, equal to Moody that is.

In any event, we now have 9 spots available. We'll have something coming back the other way for Davey (and/or Tilly) to go with the picks we already have.
Obviously there is another signing period coming up, but i don't think we can have any players poached now (from the new clubs) and everything has to be done via trade.

I reckon we escaped pretty much unscathed from the expansion, with the only damage from that coming from Watt to St. Kilda...and no loss there IMO.

Davey leaving....well that is a different kettle of fish, but they have to trade for her.


.....or do they? Just thinking, they have the #1 pick do they not? Could they simply use that to draft Davey? Kinda like a PSD style threat.

I'm not sure if there is another Maddie Prespakis coming through the ranks, but i'd be tipping Davey would be just about better than anything coming through the U18s, or close enough too.
