We seem to have a smaller running list, but I don't think it's an accident of trading or draft, it looks deliberate.
I think there is a good reason as to why Vescio and Harris haven't extended their contracts and its got nothing to do with us, or them.
The AFLW player payments are different to the mens. From memory there is 3 or 4 tiers with limited number of players allowed in each tier.
At a guess its something like..
Tier 1 - 2 players
Tier 2 - 4 players
Tier 3 - 8 players
Tier 4 - the rest.
....and each tier has a capped amount.
So at a guess Harris and Vescio would be currently either a tier 1 or tier 2.
I'm not sure the AFL have set a salary cap/player payments scheme for beyond 2021 at this stage. They might want to either change the players allowed in each, or change the overall TPP itself, or any combination of the above.
So for all involved, its probably best to wait it out given both were part of the original marquee players from season 1.
