AFLW 2019 List Changes

[kruddler]

I read somewhere that it is unlikely Collingwood will retain pick 1, as they will give some very early picks to the expansion clubs to make sure they get the pick of the best juniors, it depends on how well they are able to poach players. From memory last year Geelong was given picks 1 and 2?

Yeah, that is another possibility. How they award the picks depends on how well they have recruited thus far.

You are right, Geelong did get 1+2, whereas North got nothing because they got in so much high end talent from other clubs.

That being said, teams can only pick from their 'zones' which is basically their own state. So of the 4 expansion teams, only 2 (Tigers and Saints) would likely be able to get a pick before Collingwood that would matter.....and i reckon Tigers have recruited pretty well, so might be the saints with pick 1.....which might suit Davey as she played for the St. Kilda Sharks previously i believe.
