Is there any update on the Davey trade?
I heard a whisper that after the GF TLR got the news she wasn't to be renewed, and Davey spudded up heading for the departure lounge. Anything in this or is it just rubbish?
If it's true it's a bit of a backwards step for AFLW professionalism. This isn't suburban football, you can't argue for higher wages then act like primary school children! It would be like SOS cracking the sads with Carlton if one of his boys fails to make the grade! It's a professional business, so step one is be professional!
I'm a bit perplexed why the club signs Jess Hosking for two years but Sarah Hosking only one, I'd have valued them the other way around, or perhaps even equal!
I hadn't heard the Davey rumour, but given she was looking to get out last year, i don't think that was a catalyst.
Even if she sooked it up when she heard, that is to be expected somewhat. What is NOT to be expected is once all the initial emotions subside, to continue to sook it up and/or request a trade based on that.
I think there has been plenty of issues with Davey and Collingwood have been chasing her for 2 years now.
As for any updates on the trade....not really.
Pies have released a full list of their re-signings and notable absentees are Sarah Rowe and Ash Brazil.
Rowe will be playing gaelic footy and since the 2020 AFLW season has no actual start date and/or length of season confirmed, its hard for her top commit.
Ditto Brazil and netball. She is signed with the collingwood magpies netball team for 2 more seasons (including 2019).
As for the Hosking anomaly, i said as much in the other thread. Its just weird.
