AFLW 2021 trade and draft period - DRAFT NIGHT

[kruddler]

Not having anywhere your knowledge on the gals, Mr K., how do you think we went re the four young women we chose?

Full disclosure, I don't know much about the girls apart from what I've read and highlights ive seen.

Having said that, I know what an aflw player looks like and how they compare. The way they run, handle the ball, kick and all that.
I also know what type of players we need.
Best I can tell, the 2 don't line up.

We have had at least 2 AA defenders and another couple that would be pretty close. We also have another handful of girls who can cover for injuries.  We do not need any more defenders. We recruited 2.

Now maybe Annie Lee is the best defender and/or best player available at our first pick.....fair enough. Some you can't pass on.
But why take another.....especially one wh can't kick?

So maybe we move one of our new defenders to the midfield....but why not recruit pure midfielders?? Some who don't have a horrible kicking action. These girls look adequate for the first season of aflw....but we are so far advanced of that now that they don't look up to scratch. They must have some elite ability I havnt seen yet because otherwise I don't get it.

I like Imogen Milford.
Fills a need. Might lack consistency, but with a bit of luck she can slot straight into the side. Doesn't have to be the main target, leave that to Vescio and Stevens. Harris replacement.

Personally I wouldve liked 3 mids, 1 forward and a ruck
We got 2 defenders, 1 mid and a forward.....with 1 spot still available.

Id give them a 4 out of 10 for our draft haul.
I think the media gave us 2.5 out of 10 for our trade period.
