Tayla Harris has requested a trade back to Melbourne!
Apparently we are the front runner! :o
Great article in The Hun by Eliza Sewell linked HERE.
Note the lack of spin and bullcrap, just the facts!
For the next draft there is a one game Father & Daughter rule I never knew about! 
PS: Our club now has a nice summary of the new AFLW Trade / Draft rules. HERE

Maybe this is where our Marquee signing will be????
Perhaps Trigg has been foxing all this time!

Pretty sure the rumour came out before the AFLW was even a thing.

Stevens is their reigning B+F winner, plus all Australian. Our backline with her and Davey is going to be AWESOME!!!

I'm a bit surprised Stevens wasn't an automatic re-signing by Collingwood, who do we lose?

3 first round draft picks is the reported story.
I'm so so about this thinking.
That's a big price to pay for a proven performer, but the data on the draftees is probably not at the level to make any draft pick a certainty in the women's competition at this stage meaning that your chances of recruiting well are probably a little bit more down to good fortune, than anything else.
we will see how it all pans out later I guess.

It's since been reported that Stevens' requested the trade for personal reasons and Collingwood let her go.

The thing to be mindful of is that the draft picks for this comp aren't as valuable as the mens. Also we have an excellent age profile at our club. A few clubs went pretty heavy with the older, more established players, but most of our best players are 24 and under. We can afford to forgo a draft to get top end talent in, especially when we could just as easily land a great kid later in the draft than early. It's much more speculative.

Probably some more wheeling and dealing to come.

I would like us to get some real pace in our midfield. Our mids are a hard working lot, but they don't have the real ZIP I like to see. We do struggle somewhat against the teams with good midfields.
